@MyPonyRocks: I didn't purchase a screen protector for my last 4 DS', and they didn't have a single scratch on them. That's one of the reasons for the clamshell design.

I'm OCD about my electronics (especially ones that cost $250 D:), so it's a big problem to me. My DSi's screens didn't have a scratch on them. I got it repaired, but I still get those oily streaks every now and then, indicating that they will turn into scratches (I think I've already found one).

I simply used graphics as an example as you did it yourself. In terms of content, the DS wasn't as different from the GBA, but the 3DS seems different. It's getting its own Resident Evil title (Revelations), as well as a 3D Mario title, Metal Gear Solid (granted, a remake, but still, last time we saw Snake on a…

Uh, the games have changed dramatically from the GBA to the 3DS. The same can't usually be said about the DS (mostly gameplay changes, such as Elite Beat Agents), but the 3DS has a complete different feel from the GBA and DS. Just compare Star Fox's remake to the DS Star Fox.... No, they're not similar on any real…

I doubt you'll have this problem. You have a bigger chance at getting a scratched screen develop over time due to the bottom screen's border touching the top's. A lot of people seem to get it, with others saying they're just lines for now. I had it, and it turned into scratches rather quickly after just simply…

I'm going to walk out onto your lawn, old man.

I'm much younger than most of you. 14. And I have to agree, aging has changed my views on video games. When I was younger, I beat every game I owned t completion. Nowadays, I rarely do that, and I have a huge backlog of titles that remain untouched or incomplete. I also used to play video games for more than an hour,…

@Sloopydrew: They said Revelations was actually going back to that true survival horror part of the series.

@Nulls: The N64 was the most powerful console of the 3 in its era (I'd say the lack of CD tech would bring it down to PS1 level, though, but not lower than it), while the GameCube was stronger than the PS2 (again, less memory for games, but not horrible. And still more powerful than the PS2).

@KingHippo: [en.wikipedia.org] Nope.

Yeah, I don't ever really talk about my sexual orientation. I don't represent any stereotype, and if a person were to look at my facebook page, they wouldn't know anything until they scroll down and notice the "interested in men" thing, which is just in a corner, unnoticed.

Read the title, and immediately knew what the article was going to be about. Ah, I love reading about video game history. :D

@Mr.Wake: From our imagination.

Being gay myself, I can honestly say I don't give a crap about any protagonist being gay, or straight. Just give me a damn good game to play.

Played Double Dash!! for a good portion of my Elementary years. It was very good, and it felt awesome to shoot a blue turtle shell at my friends. Can't wait for this one!

@acamas: ... But it's not a gimmicked-up DS lite. At all.

@Darrisbob1: Mario Kart is one of the few video games I've played that actually makes me scream in anger. Good anger, of course.

I wasn't getting anal, I just sorta.... nerdgasm'd all that info out. Since we were slightly on the subject. XD

I don't own a PS3, but I (sorry if I sound like a douche, I know it must suck to be able to not play online) find it amusing how my (CoD freak) friend and his Call of Duty friends are practically dying of boredom and are raging for Sony to hurry the hell up on fixing the problem. Kinda sad, I remember when my friend…

@Luke MacDonald: Indeed, but go further into its taxonomic ranking and you find that both Canidae (Canines) and Procyonidae (Raccoons) are in the same suborder of Caniformia, found in Carnivora (next to Feliformia (cats and shizz)), placed in Pegasoferae (along with the perissodactyls (horses/tapirs), pangolins, and…
