Castlevania: Preorder of Ecclesia

Aug 13th 2008 12:10PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
On the one hand, 'WANT!'. On the other hand, conflict of morals regarding the killing and skinning of animals for silly reasons.

Konami, go on the cheap! Make it pleather!

Gaming to Go: Feel the Magic: XY/XX

Aug 11th 2008 7:18PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
Despite my XX status, I loved Feel the Magic. I'll be honest, I cried a little at the end. It's just such a bizarre game.

DS Daily: On display

Jul 31st 2008 11:31AM (Joystiq Nintendo)
I keep my games in a drawer that we used to keep VHS tapes in... I think it may have actually been designed for that - it's built into the wall, the drawers slide out all the way on rollers, the height's exactly that of a tape in the case [which happens to be the height of a game case]. It holds about 200 DS games, 100 GBA games, or 120 console games, not that I'm anywhere near that.

They're arranged by publisher, then by title, with a few exceptions [The PW/AJ series is chronological, games in the same series are next to each other, etc]. I plan on *one* day arranging by developer, but that would take a while.

DS Daily: Any Phats still out there?

Jul 23rd 2008 10:27AM (Joystiq Nintendo)
Still have a phat, and have had one since launch [replaced my original launch DS due to some screen issues - there was DUST in the screen...].

I doubt I'll upgrade; I'd much rather have new games than the same system.

Finally, DS Lite accessories for Gothic Lolitas

Those are actually kinda cool. I wouldn't mind buying them, if I were also picking up some other things.

DS Daily: Game gear

Feb 2nd 2008 3:28PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
I got a Zelda tshirt when I went to NYC a year and a month ago. It's got two crossed swords on, with 4 shields in the gaps. It's pretty class, but for some ridiculous reason, this 'Medium' shirt is big enough for two men twice my size to wear... at the same time.

Also have a black shirt buried somewhere that has a picture of Samus on it, as well as the text, 'I am Samus'. I don't wear it too often.

Nothing else in the way of clothing (unless you count a Nintendo Fusion Tour shirt, but... God, those bands SUCKED), but I do have the PW Fanbook (AKA, 'Gyakuten Saiban Fanbukku').

How old is old enough to play games?

When I was 3 and 4, ohh, I tried to PLAY video games, but I just didn't get them too well. I stuck with books at that age.

I started to get them when I was about 6, though I'll admit that when I got Pokemon for my 7th birthday, I couldn't figure out how to get out of palette town.

'Course, we didn't have games in the house when I was 3, 4; we only got to play them when we went to hotels. So if a kid can get them (and understand 'moderation' when he/she/it is younger), go ahead and let 'em play. I wouldn't advocate buying them their own system at that age (mostly as they'd break it) but... Yeah. Once they're responsible (enough), have at it.

Phoenix Wright manga judged fit for Western release

My friend got two of 'em for me in JAPAN! It was my birthday present!

DS Daily: Drop it like it's hot

Jan 13th 2008 2:26AM (Joystiq Nintendo)
Um, I've just replied to myself, so I'm pretty sure none of you will ever see it... but...

See, I'm a little smart. Just a little. I don't study, I just do the homework, go to class, take the test, come home with an A. School isn't hard for me.

So, in 6th grade, I had a science class that I HATED with a passion. The teacher hated me as well. Midway through the year, we had two 'large' papers assigned (one was two pages, one was like, some sort of project... bite me, I was ... 11 at the time)So, I decided that I didn't feel like doing the papers. Naturally, that dropped my grade like a rock. At the same time, I was ... having issues with doing homework for other classes, mostly English (I hadn't the slightest inclination in reading Celia Garth, nor in reading about Nordic myth...)

At the same time, my family was going through some chaos... Mostly, my brother nearly got kicked out of boarding school, and so we had to pull him out before he did; everyone freaked out about that, and that's about it.

So my parents, obviously, had a lot on their plates when the report cards got sent out... and I had a big, fat F on a report card filled otherwise with As and Bs, and all the emails from teachers asking why I didn't turn in this assignment or that assignment...

So they snapped. They smashed the GC to pieces with a golf club, tried to kill the GBA in the same way (all that happened was a copy of Breath of Fire II flew from it); when that failed, they started up the gril and burned it.

I can assure you, I did very well for the rest of the year, and the next year, and the following, and now it's a happen.

DS Daily: Drop it like it's hot

It was only about... 30 inches up, but I kinda managed to fling it off. I was playing a game, but the battery was really low, so I had the charger in it. The cord for it ran off of the front of the desk...

My brother needed to use the computer, which happened to be at the desk. I tend to do things quickly, so I jumped out of the chair... I managed to run into the cord for the charger. Given that I had jumped, I went about 2 feet with the cord hooked around my leg.

The DS, naturally, flew off of the table and was flung to the ground... The game froze, but that was because the impact shoved it out a little.

Incidentally, the game that was in it was a game that had been beaten... with a golf club. My parents freaked out on my about 4 years back, and destroyed my GC with a golf club. They tried to do the same to the GBA, except the thing wouldn't break (That thing is a tank!) (Unknown to all parties, the game flew out due to one of the hits)... So it was burned in the grill. Found the game the next day.
