In honor of MGS4's release and the fact that portable handhelds for the most part are shoddily constructed pieces of shit...I figured it's time to rid myself of my out-of-warranty DS and PSP and...just get new ones. I also picked up Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops since I just recently beat MGS3 and didn't feel like saying goodbye to all the characters just yet. Now I realize i've also just formed the gayest collective of words ever assembled in the history of the English language.
For those playing the home game, about 80 percent of what I earn goes to funding my fiend like obsession with video games, the other 20 being evenly split between hookers, hamburgers, and trying to keep my girlfriend from breaking up with me. I invite you to look further down the blog to see my
setup and rather disturbing collection of gizmos and either be really impressed or really sorry for me
Quick Impressions:
1) God of War PSP bundle: It's a very 1980's shade of red, and it looks quite good in daylight. Madonna wouldn't mind being caught dead with it, and neither would I. God of War is a fun little game, I didn't care much for Superbad the first time I saw it but after spending yesterday evening watching through it again, I realized how much of a prancing ninny I was for not laughing at the abundance of crude jokes. It's actually a good value, especially for the $171.20 I paid for it.
2) Cobalt Blue DS: I don't know what it is, but the back of it feels REALLY nice, it's like a sort of sandpaper-ish feel to it. It's felt so good i've put it in places I can't mention on network television. You should all have DS' so you don't need me to tell you what you already know, unless you don't have one and are having a depraved childhood or miserable existence.
3) Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops:
Notice how I didn't write out an impression for MGS:PO? That's how much God and I hate you.
Now i'm off to continue MGS4 and not write a review for it afterwards since everyone and their third cousin twice removed has one for a CBlog already.

how are the screens on the newer DS? I have a original black lite and I just heard the newer versions weren't as bright or had a yellowish tint to them.
The only game i've played it on so far is a quick session of New Super Mario Bros, and it's kind of hard to notice details when you're concentrating on pushing a brown mass out of your cornhole. Otherwise it looks just the same as the older ones, which is very bright and definitely crisper than the older larger DS'

Fuck... I need to get a DS. December can't come quickly enough <insert masturbation joke here..
It's a very 1980's shade of red,
ha think not.
congratulations sir you are full of win. i have MGS:PO and *SPOILER* they all die at the end.
Good purchases, all that stuff is awesome.
Good purchase to me. I recently just got the GOW PSP also and I'm loving it so far. I recently picked up MGS: Portable Ops and Daxter.
Good purchase for the most part. Make sure to get pokemon!
wait... this blog actually pissed me off. Seriously.
You had a psp and a ds.... and you just bought new ones for the warranty? Let me guess, you traded in your old ones to gamestop...
Where in anyones mind would that EVER make sense. They still worked. Why not hold on to them till the break.. if they ever would?
This purchase was totally whack. You could've went out and bought some solid games for the systems you already owned...
... are you retarded?
