DS lite for Xmas. Ordered the R4DS the next week. It just came in, and I am now officially a fanboi.
Looking for a good homebrew browser for it, before I break down and just buy the Opera one.

It's always odd how the "First" named Pokemon game always sells more
Red beat Blue
Gold beat Silver
now Diamond beats Pearl

Simply due to name recognition of being the first one. That's usually why I pick the second one so it's more likely others have pokemans I need.

Am I the only one who caught the Worms reference there? Pretty good stuff.

I'm pretty sure that was originally a Monty Python reference.

I gifted a Wii, with a gift card for Wii Fit (once it comes out in the US in 2030), to my sister. I also got her a Tetris t-shirt. She had a gamer's dream Xmas, and she wasn't even a gamer until that day.
