Nintendo DSi

Hm. It's been a while. I know. It's time for a small update about my life and how my gaming is going. To start off, if you see the title, you have probably already guessed at my first annoucement. I have a Nintendo DSi. There are many reasons why I decided to get one, but I will tell you that it is worth it.

Before I had the DS 'Phat" or the original. I've had it since it basically came out, and I figured it was time for an upgrade. Using my Financial aid money from college(It was extra, bite me), I got the DSi, The World Ends With You, Chrono Trigger and Digimon World Championship. With those games, I have beaten TWEWY and I haven't even opened the other two yet(Also meaning they have not been added to my backlog).

The DSi has some pretty neat features, like recording your voice(Though only 10 seconds at a time), taking pictures with it's two cameras, which is pretty nice, and also by having the standard Pictochat and DS Download play like the other DS's. The major difference is the DSi Shop. After performing an system update to access the shop, you are given 1000 DS1 points for free, just for purchasing the system.

The Shop only has one free item, which is the DSi Browser, which actually uses the touch screen nicely. The other options in the shop are to buy 200 point games(Mostly little addons for other games or they are super small games), 500 point games(Which has things like Dr. Mario Express, Warioware Snapped, and some other enjoyable titles) and then there is the 800+ section, where there are only two games avaliable as of now(Both of which I didn't really care for).

With my 1000 free points, I got Dr. Mario Express and a collection with 5 card games. Both of which are enjoyable and very quick to pick up and play, which is nice.

As for my housing situation and my personal problems, well, my life is still in the crapper. Being homeless sucks. I don't recommend it. >_>

Living in homeless shelters with other families is annoying and pretty stupid if you ask me, but that's how it is.

I figured I'd put up a small update just to let you guys know I'm still around and okay. Though, none of you read this anyways, but yeah.

Peace out for now, guys. Gotta finish up finals for my classes. D=
