some time ago, aunty nikki was telling me about her friend in beijing who found some awesomely-priced ndsls (nintendo dual screen lites, for the uninitiated). i immediately thought of al, who hasn’t yet succumbed to the mario kart orgies. made a call and asked her if she wanted one for approximately 440, ok, go. so [...]
apparently, the “unofficial” rom for the long awaited Chrono Trigger comes built-in with a fairy kiss from square enix – an anti-piracy measure which hangs the game just as you’re about to venture into the other world through a mysterious warp portal (you never emerge from the pretty purple swirls, instead you continue being sucked [...]
the new nintendo dsi looks to very much blow. screen 20% larger but no increase in resolution – PTUI. no expansion slow; no guitar hero – BLEUGH but finally comes with built-in browser, which is quite a rip-off anyway. why was it sold separately in the first place? digression aside, 2009 looks to be the [...]
well, fuck me silly. i think i just found the most awesome video in the world ever. it’s yasunori mitsuda, nobuyoshi sano (tekken 5 sound designer), and michio okamiya (guitarist from final fantasy cover band) in the electronic “band” – the Trio DS-10 – performing “scars of time” from chrono cross on the ds with [...]
being the ds junkie that i am, it’s almost inexcusable that i have not yet posted about this tiny papercraft wonder. check out the overwhelming dedication of a ds freak. a mini marvel merely 1.4″ x 0.75″ x 0.25″ with functioning hinge (wow) and teensy tiny nintendogs cartridge. if you’re feeling brave enough, there’s a [...]

i guess the list i compiled on nintendo ds games i had to play or else i’d die wasn’t perfect, but it was a good starting point, ok? so, what am i really playing? animal crossing it’s so fucking deceptively kiddy, but there are so many things to do and so little time to do [...]
finally. after all that sweatin’ and achin’ and nearly-but-not-quite’s, i’m an elite beat diva. but, my gawd, what is up with the teeeeeeeeeensy tiny beat markers which come out 0.0012 seconds before you’re supposed to hit them and the life bar that speeds towards “!” with the speed of a thousand rabid mousedeers? agents, heeeeeeeeeeeelp!
apart from the regular coconut-picking and rock-hitting, i haven’t had any time for my baby. but… i have been still looking at accessories, add-ons, audio programs and gameses, preciousssss. found 24 music programs. and of course, korg (have i already downloaded this?). it’s not like i know how to use anything. but i want to [...]
