Game Boy

Over the weekend I broke down and purchased my very first gaming system ever. It’s been a long time since I’ve played games. The last system I had was the Super Nintendo was a gift (birthday?) from my mom.

Now as much fun as the swinging bachelor life is, there are certain periods of boredom and I reasoned a gaming system could remedy that problem. When the latest round of consoles came out, I gave serious thought to picking one of them up but resisted with the idea that the last thing I needed was another excuse to stay in the house. As much as I feel I’m destined to live the hermit lifestyle, there’s no reason to accelerate the process.

With that in mind, I bought the gaming system I felt would help solve the boredom problem but would also not tie me to the house. That system is the Nintendo DS. It’s pretty sweet. I, of course, knew about the touch screen but I didn’t realize the other levels of interactivity it had. For instance, in Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass, you must blow out candles by blowing into the DS (can’t wait to see a Leisure Suit Larry Game take advantage of this feature) and in Brain Age 2, you play Rock, Paper, Scissors by actually saying “Rock”, “Paper”, or “Scissors”. Crazy ain’t it?

Anyone else have a DS? Any recommended games?

Yes, this will most likely interfere with my reading.
