SUPER MARIO!!

after much coaxing from my bro (it was actually more like harassment), i finally got the nintendo DS lite (better known as NDS, if u're in the "community", hehe).


crystal white, baby

so anyway, although the graphics and game play is no where near the PSP (i really mean NO WHERE NEAR), the games offered are much more my cuppa tea.

what do i mean by that? well, its actually pretty obvious that both consoles target different markets because the while the NDS offers kiddy games like mario and pokemon, the PSP targets the more "hardcore" segment with games like grand theft auto, siphon filter etc etc (ie games which can cause a person to play it 2 days in a row non-stop (okay la, maybe got stop for toilet break and a quick bite la hehe)

seeing how i've got an attention span of about 30 mins when it comes to gaming, i think i'm really gonna enjoy playing it - especially since i've got over 20GB worth of games (thats about 500 of em), i think this is gonna keep me happy for quite a long time.

hmm.. now if only i can get em outta my brother's hands.

DOH!



i just caught the simpsons today, and although the premise of this show is pretty much like every other episode thats been playing over n over for the past ermm, 20 years (?), they managed it make it much much more enjoyable by cramming in lotsa adult humour, as opposed to the "suitable for general viewing" crap stuff they show on tv.

now before u go rush out to the nearest cinema hoping to see homer nail marge, keep in mind that this is after all, a cartoon and although i said adult humour, i didn't say adult scenes (besides, the thought of simpson porn is kinda disturbing, if u think about it.. hee)

so anyhoo.. in short i have to say that out of the previous few movies i've watched (ie transformers, diehard 4.0, harry potter 5..), this one wins hands down as the most enjoyable watch.

so u now u know how to spend your hard earned 10 bucks.
