Get out the plastic, kids; you’re about to wet yourselves!

But first, a warning: if you have this image in your head of me not being this big, humongous dork — and would like to keep it that way — turn back now. By the end of this post, well, you’ll probably be wondering how I conned you into being my friend in the first place, OR, for those of you who I don’t know, will be figuring out if you can legally place a restraining order on someone you’ve never met before, in the freak chance that we should ever bump into one another. So okay then, you’ve been warned.

It’s not often that I do great things. I mean, sure, once in a while there’ll be a break in the cloud-covered-chaos of my fevered mind, and I’ll do something truly worthy of accolades, confetti, TIME Magazine covers and legions of adoring 14-year-old fans. But such breaks are few and far inbetween. Most of the time, all my videogame-addled brain can come up with is the fact that I could really go for some pea soup right now and, whoa, when was the last time I watched Jurassic Park? Confused? I know. It’s hard just getting through the day sometimes.

But anyhow, to move this along: I need to tell you that I did something great, recently. What did I do? Well I bought a Nintendo DS Lite, of course!

The Nintendo DS Lite

Oh, let me count the ways I love this little piece of techno-hottness: The iPod-esque coloring and contours. The blindingly bright screens (but, you know, blinding in the good way). The touch-sensitive bottom screen. The wireless/online capabilities (I know, I just started peeing too). The little microphone in the center that lets me wisper sweet nothings in Spanis-… err… heh. Ok, so there’s a LOT of ways.

That, and buying the DS solves the age old question: how does one pack in more videogame time into a day? Seriously - we walk, we drive, we talk, we work… all potential videogaming time that’s going to WASTE, if you ask me. But waste that could be avoided, was one to have the right device. WELL THIS IS THAT DEVICE, PEOPLE! See, now, walking isn’t just walking; it’s walking + VIDEOGAMES! Driving isn’t just driving; it’s driving + VIDEOGAMES! Pretending to be attentive to your significant other while dining by candlelight on a romantic anniversary dinner isn’t just pretending to be attentive to your significant other while dining by candlelight on a romantic anniversary dinner; it’s pretending to be attentive to your significant other while dining by candlelight on a romantic anniversary dinner + VIDEOGAMES! I don’t think I have to spell out the implications any further, here.

But enough words! — the left brain has had its fun. Let’s get some pictures in here to stimulate the right brain (and the whole bladder)!

Okay, I think that’s it. Hope you liked it. Now somebody else go out and get one so you can be formally trounced by MWAH in Mario Kart.
