Hey there,
I know this is going to qualify as a shameless plug, and, well, it is. But I just wanted to let you know that I've been published at the Escapist. Yeah, I know it's been a few days since the article went live (it went live Tuesday, Jan. 29), but I don't think it's too late to tell the Dtoid community about it.
Here it is:

And after reading the article, if you have comments for me along the lines of "why didn't you include this?" or "you forgot this!" or "why did you give so much airtime to that whilst only barely mentioning this?" - My response is: I'm only human. I only had so much time and space to write this article within, and I couldn't include everything that readers would want to see in this article without it taking up several term papers of space and aeons of time to do. So deal with it. I just didn't have the time, space, or inclination to please everybody.
Anyway, hope you enjoy the read! Let me know what you think!
I'd already read the article on Wednesday, after watching the latest Zero Punctuation review. The title drew me in and I enjoyed the read.
I think it's also worth noting that Mario Kart Double Dash and DS have a rather annoying exploit called snaking to people like me who refuse to accept nintendo-thumb as acceptable means to win a race.
I lulled really hard over the cone :-)
