Welcome to Gaia! ::

The whole 3D thing is starting to bug me. Okay, so it's 3D without glasses, that's pretty cool. But that isn't the main reason why people should be interested in it, yet it really seems like it is! Even if the 3D is turned off the whole time, it's an amazing console and that is why people should be interested! Stop thinking only about the 3D thing argh. It really makes the whole thing seem really gimmicky, when it's not. I almost wish they'd named it something else.

Fish, you have rubbed off on be a whole lot, and I am begining to realize it more and more.

I now say "ballin'" no less than thrice a day.

Including when I read it aloud as I typed it.

I even said it today in Ceramics class... which now is a source of feelings of inadequacy for me.

Fabulous.

When you say "ballin'", do you say it as a reaction to something or do you just say it because it's fun to say or something?

BECAUSE I HATE WHEN IT IS SAID FOR NO REASON.

HATEFUL MOOD

Also, While Fish says it in imitation of Jim Jones or whoever, I say it in a weird imitation of him.


In the song they say it differently than he(and by extention, I, who have been brainwashed by him) does.

The say it with an extended BALL, but he draws out IN most of the time.

The only person I've streetpassed other than my friends, the day we all got them, was a guy I work with that I didn't even know had one. We pass every time at work, so he just casted level four fire on some niggas.

Indeed. It will only get better from here.

Well it is the first thing that's penetrated the mass market to use glasses-free 3D. It has pretty good graphics as well, with the 3D turned off, but no where else at this time can you get 3D graphics on a handheld device, and no where else at this time can you get glasses-free 3D, really.

If you just want to play normal games, you're barking up the wrong tree by going to Nintendo. Ever since the original DS came out, they've really been pushing the envelope, which is probably the reason I talk about video games at all anymore.

There can be a trailer for a new JRPG or a new FPS and you can see all the gameplay footage and get pretty much exactly how it's going to play and how it's going to feel, but with the DS, my mind was blown. Two screens? A touch screen for REAL gaming application? Portable 3D graffix? fladkjflsakdjf I was excited. You could watch a gameplay trailer and just let your imagination run wild with all the things they could do with something as simple as a touch screen. The same thing happened with the Wii. You could see trailers for games, but they would have to show you the person playing it to show you how to do things. You had no idea! There was so much squandered potential on the DS and the Wii that it hurts me to think back to all the things we imagined when the Wii was first announced. I think in the podcast I said I would be excited for a basketball game. I would have been.

The 3DS looks good with the 3D turned down, but that's not really the point of the system. The 3D effect brings something to gaming that hasn't really become very standard yet at all. Sure, the PS3 has some 3D games, but you need a PS3, the game, a 3D TV and 3D glasses, all of which are ridiculously overpriced, and there isn't a huge selection of 3D games. The 3DS only requires the 3DS and the game. The point of the 3DS is in its name, it's a 3D DS. It is the point of it. If it wasn't the point of the DS to have two screens they would have called it the Game Boy 4. If the 3DS wasn't made to showcase 3D graphics, it would be the Game Boy 5.

Fish used Wall of Text!

It isn't a bad idea, especially for places with customers.

Yeah, I almost want to get a game where you can just walk around. xd
