Listening to: Big Trouble Upstairs - Pitch Black

On Saturday I purchased a Nintendo DS.
After a few hours of disappointment as I struggled with learning the new control system
for Mario 64 DS I became quiet enamoured with the machine. I do have to say that it’s
a lot of fun to play. The ability to just close the device half way through a game
and pick it up exactly where I left off a hour later suits my approach to games. It
also means that the TV remote is now freed up during TV breaks… much to Andy’s relief.

I am still getting over the comment from the pimply, little, counter-droid at
EB Games:

“Yes, we’re finding the unit is popular amongst the aged.”

Aged! My God! Why you little whipper-snapper! That’s ‘distinguished’ to you!

In my day you were lucky to have two colours on a screen at one time! And we didn’t
call them ‘computers’ we called them ’semi-auto-calculatrons’. So I bet him ’round
the back of head with my walking cane and shuffled out of the shop (or the goods-purveyor
as we used to refer to them as) .
