Rambling and DS inferiority complexes
idleeidolon | 5:36 AM on 08.19.2007 5 comments


Punctuation is bad for your health
Rambling has always been a problem of mine. So yeah, I basically suck as a writer. Thank God that I finally encountered Yahtzee Croshaw. He proves that sometimes rambling can be a good thing.

Archaic Sealed Heat makes my loins burn
No. I don't have a rash.

I am terribly frustrated that the Nintendo DS has become a gamer badge of sorts in this country of mine. Meaning, that if you don't have one, you're basically lame. Consider this awkward hypothetical conversation with another gamer:

"You've got a gaming blog?"

"Yeah."

"You've got a PSP?"

"No."

"Oh, that's okay. I understand. You've got a DS?"

No.

"Oh man, you suck. You suck bad."


Now this isn't because you're not a good enough gamer, it's because you're missing out on a lot of content.

Months ago I was longing for some sit down time with Revenant Wings, now it's Archaic Sealed Heat. Why does the game have to look so damned hot?

Sigh.

I can think of at least 20 games on the DS that are classic status. and a used one will set you back about $100.

Why don't you just, you know, buy one?

If you're interested in RPGs, the DS has some great and varied ones. Izuna (roguelike), Etrian Odyssey (old-school explorer), Advance Wars, Luminous Arc, Contact and FF3 all come to mind. There are some really great ones coming as well. I bought the DS at launch and then traded it in for a Lite for the longer battery life because the DS is pretty much my favorite system now.

@Tron Knotts: I've been planning to buy one for a long time now. I'll try to think up a decent post to explain the economics of handheld gaming here in my country. Basically, the short of it is that it borders on unreasonable for most folk.

@electro lemon: Handheld is an aspiration for me.

@Mxyzptlk: if all goes well, I won't after a few weeks of saving... (I wish)
