  2 blogs left in me

  I've only got 2 blogs left in me for this site. This one telling you that I'm done blogging on GS. The next one (after certain events take place) will be to say I'm dropping off the site.

  No one reads my blogs anyway and if you do you're not commenting so I must not have much of anything to say. For those of you who did read these, sorry. I'm sure you'll find someone else's thoughts to read.

  maybe later,
  Dave

  The Hook

  I like music. I'm sure you do to. I've got us a place to talk about it. It's called The Hook, The Board's music forum. If you're reading this and haven't already started posting on the board, here's your motivating factor.

  A good many types of music have their own forums and there's also a musician's forum and a dedicated video game music forum.

  You guys should check it out. It's brand new so we need some topics posted up.

  See you there!

  Later,
  Dave

  My first handheld!

  

  I got my very first handheld game system today. It's a cobalt blue DS Lite. I've been wanting a handheld and the game library for the PSP didn't really do it for me. Add to that the fact that I can play DS games AND Gameboy Advance games on it, that really pushed me to the DS. I mainly wanted one so that I could play the recent 2D Sonic titles. I've heard that the Sonic Advance and Sonic Rush series' are great but I've never had a chance to play them. Now I can all on one system.

  I picked up 4 games with it. For DS I got:

  Sonic Rush
  New Super Mario Brothers

  For GBA I got:

  Sonic Advance 2
  Sonic Advance 3
  
  I broke one of my only rules when buying games today. Never buy the game without the original box. No one in town sells GBA games in the box. They're all just carts. Well, I guess I could have waited a bit, played the DS games and ordered complete copies of the GBA titles from eBay but they were right there and I just got them.

  I've got a nice little want list I'm working on for the thing. My rule for buying systems is that there needs to be about a dozen games on the system that I want to play before I'll actually buy the system. Well neither the DS nor the GBA hit that cap but when you combine them it does. Here's my list of titles I'm wanting. For DS I want:

  Sonic Rush Adventure
  Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
  Contra IV
  Metal Slug 7
  Nanostray 2
  Bangai-O Spirits

  For GBA I want:

  Sonic Advance
  F-Zero GP Legend
  F-Zero: Maximum Velocity
  Astro Boy: Omega Factor
  Gunstar Super Heroes
  Advance Guardian Heroes
  Castlevania: Circle of the Moon

  I hope I can find all of these games as they all look pretty sweet. The GBA carts will be the challenge but eBay should help alot.

  Thanks for reading and comments welcome as always,
  Dave
