22. Bought my ds 2 years ago and a ds lite 1 year ago.

It all started with the arcades, I believe about 15 years ago. I started playing games like Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. While i knew it was forbidden for my age I, at that time, had no idea why it was forbidden! :P. It wasn't making sense to me that it was "violent"! :P Later I got seriously excited with games like Dune and Red Alert and eventually my parents bought me a computer. Strategy games had become my favorite genre and my computer lasted about 4 years. Come to think of it, I find it truly hillarious that the reason I was pushed to the console side was because I just got sick with the PC games becoming more and more demanding.I also find it kinda unbelievable how a mere phrase from a friend ended up persuading me to buy a Gamecube rather than a Playstation 2. That was how I was introduced to the world of Nintendo. Yeah I know, out of topic, but I was moved by Ston3henge's story. And no, games are not for "people without lives". Every hobby taken to the extreme can lead you to "lose your life".

@Mad_Dude: Why didn't you make this thread into a poll?

If only they would continue making RPG's instead of those cheesy sports games; I would be one of their blind followers.

Don't know what the hell are you talking about. Camelot hasn't released a game for 2 whole years. So no. They don't keep making sports games. They made sports games just like they made Golden Sun. As for all these Mario Baseball, Basketball and etc. they are not being made by Camelot. In any case, the first Golden Sun was good, but I was disappointed by the second one which was just more of the same and made no true improvement to the game. It didn't squash any of the problems that the original had (lack of a dungeon map, a lot of walking around the overworld, innumerable random encounters, cheesy dialogue [the infamous yes or no situations comes to mind], a lot of messing around with the djinns to find a good class combination, etc.) So if we ever see a second sequel for Golden Sun, I would definitely like for those problems to be squashed. Otherwise, it will be disappointing. But, who knows, maybe they are taking their sweet time to make sure thay deliver us an amazing experience. Maybe, I said.

I didn't know you could just press on the cartridge to eject the game until a friend showed me.

What?! You can actually eject a cartidge without pressing it down?!:shock: News to me...

It depends on the game. I have a Phat, and I think it only works in games that were programmed to do it. If the Lite does it in ALL the games (I don't know) then maybe they had switched this program line to the DS itself.julianozuca

Nope. For instance, you can't soft reset in Animal Crossing and Final Fantasy III regardless of whether you have an original DS or a Lite. It's game-related.

Nice one, pal. I just hope you won't regret it. :)

why would you want to put a skin on your ds, it like defacing perfection :)allegrettom

Maybe applying the DS Skin would make it more perfect for him.
