I recently have been blessed to receive a pink Nintendo DS from my husband for Valentines Day. Every second I’ve played on it, has been a new adventure! The first games I bought were, Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, My French Coach, and Worms: Open Warfare 2. I’ve made a profile on My French Coach, and have put about 2 hours into Zelda. Worms hasn’t been so amazing for me; I blame the Xbox 360’s version for that. But, all in all, it’s an amazing little contraption. It’s like JOY in my pocket; or purse…which ever one.

There’s something about the DS that I don’t really understand. For instance: the stylus pen. I use it for just about every single game. So what’s the need for the directional pad and 4 letter buttons? I use that pen so much, that my elbows start to hurt just 30 minutes into game play. From breaking my left elbow to breaking my right wrist 3 different times, that shit hurts! Freaking DS, killing my 60 year old joints! Another thing that bugs me is the sound. I have it turned all the way up, and yet I barely hear anything. Has anyone else had this problem, or is it just my deaf ears?

Other than those things that I don’t like about it, I think it’s a great little toy. And not just a toy for little kids to play on, but all ages can enjoy the wonders of the Nintendo DS.

See, here I am with mine!!!
