Disturbing Thought #1: Oh DS, oh DS, where for art thou DS?
BlindsideDork | 1:00 PM on 06.18.2008 15 comments



Games are cool, at least I think they are. I like to play them from time to time (read: a lot of the time). But I stumbled upon a couple disturbing thoughts/feelings, the first being the DS has no cravings inside me!

That's right, I have next to no urge to play it. This is sad cause I would play that thing to no end, even more than some consoles from time to time. And look at all the games...well there were games. What happened? The last game I bought was The World Ends With You. And before that...I think the last game I got was for Christmas and it was Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings of the Shining New Money Stealer Saga Part 5.6-2. Both of these games required dedication and both of these games I failed to finish. It wasn't cause they sucked, I think I just ran out of urge to play them.



To be fair, I am at the end of Revenant Wings and kind of got stuck on a hard part but then TWEWY was released and I started that and then I fell asleep on the metro from staying up too late playing games on consoles. This kind of killed my urge to play and I also felt like I was doing something wrong. Am I the only one not able to get close to an A rating in battles on TWEWY?

What am I to do? I know some of you have had similar situations or even share the same sentiments as I do. Are there just not any good DS games available or is it something more than that?



Towards the end of next month, Final Fantasy IV comes out. Will I be able to overcome this hump and play the heck out of this AMAZING title? I sure hope so since it is the best Final Fantasy and also my favorite one. Please don't let my DS go in vain!

Of course, maybe I just need to get rid of my DS Phatter (Original DS with a Battery Life extender on it...it's fat--errr PHAT!) and buy a sexy DS Lite or Sharpless' mom!

Moar drawing games. Also don't feel bad, I barely play mine.

Trust me your DS is okay with you not playing it.

I used to play my DS hardcore and then I became single and didn't feel like sitting around playing video games. Funny how that works out, eh?

No, you didn't finish Revenant Wings because it blows.

TWEWY I thought was very worth finishing, so you should try to. I Loved it. The sad part is, the DS is the only console I own, so it's that or nothing. I'm not complaining though, I've made the best out of it.

Thow your mom! I had it up one way, and then the internets said thow (blames FireFox3). Who can NOT trust the internets.

Endgame syndrome, Sir. I wrote a feature on the topic.

Keep Firefox spellcheck on and, when in doubt, click over to dictionary.com. I didn't become this good of a speller by not being anal!

Yeah I find myself going on and off the DS. I used to play it daily, but I haven't really been playing it much as of late.
