I think I've just worked out how to hold a DS properly

Up until now I've been trying to hold it like a GBA, i.e. wrapping my index fingers round the top to use the shoulder buttons, and pressing the bottom corners of the unit into the palms of my hand (unlike the GBA where you can rest it against the inner side of your index finger's knuckles). However you then have to bend your thumbs to reach the buttons, which gets uncomfortable after playing for a while.

The new approach (which I have yet to test playing a game ) is to have the bottom corners of the unit further up my hand, closer to the joint between my index fingers and thumbs. I then have my other fingers slightly straighter behind the console, so that they're pointing towards each other. This seems to give enough distance for my thumbs to straighten out, without me losing massive amounts of shoulder button control or dropping the unit on the floor

*makes note to read up on the names of the different parts of the hand before trying to explain anything like this again*

So.. those of you with DS's with mario kart and wireless connections, are any of you near your DS+mario kart+wireless connection anytime this weekend and have the free time to play?

I want one.

Well, I yielded to temptation and bought a DS (with Mario Kart and Sonic Rush)

despite the fact that I have friends who are visiting Singapore and Japan in the next month or so and promised to bring me back a Lite.

Anyone fancy sending me their friend code, then?

So, back to the age old question - is anyone actually going to be available to play this weekend?

Did you really need to ask that question?

Metroid Prime Hunters (Nintendo) - 5 May

Metroid Prime Hunters (Nintendo) - 5 May

In some of the gameplay movies they have reflective/translucent floors

Um, the demo (more of a control/tech demo than a full game demo) that comes with the machine (in the UK at least) has a translucent/reflective floor on top of the ball puzzle, doesn't it?

We can't blame just the graphics, though. Many people will play Worms: Open Warfare by themselves, so it's a good thing that there's at least some sort of level progression involved in the game in the form of "challenges." Most of the challenges are standard Worms battles, but each one has specific elements - four worms against one computer AI worm, four worms against four worms but with half the energy, that sort of thing. But when the AI routine will frequently do ultra stupid moves like walk off a ledge to kill itself or fire a weapon into its own teammate, you know something's up: inept programming routines.

Animal Crossing, Phoenix Wright, and (amazingly) Meteos. Hurrah!

Considering getting AC this weekend - how gay is it?

Damn, I might have to buy this tomorrow.

Are there any monkeys in it?

Does it have multiple languages in it? I was wondering if the European release would have less text in it because it would have to be duplicated in French, German, Spanish and Elbonian.

I've got it!!!!1111!!

AC:WW friends code is on its way.

Any fan mail from my town?
