I like the Lite and its shiny, sexy surface. The screen's pretty good too.

I doubt I'll get one, though. My family has a "live with it or deal with it yourself" rule or something.

I wish my DS was under warranty. It's almost three years old. Would've saved $70 or so.

Forum Games / Rapper Names

<+Boo_penguin> my idea for a thread in FF
<+Boo_penguin> it's
<+Boo_penguin> If you were a rapper your name would be...
<+Boo_penguin> and write a short rap about why that is your name
<+Boo_penguin> "my name is .... WHAT my name is ..... WHO my name is ....."
<+Boo_penguin> is already taken

We are the Make-A-Wish Foundation of TMK. Let's make his dream come true!

Post your rapper name, and a short rap about why you chose it.

Does Nintendo sell extra parts? Maybe they have shoulder buttons and springs.

It's not the parts that have problems, it's the assembly that's frustrating me. Both the shoulder buttons and springs are in good shape, save for flesh wounds and dirt on the buttons.

I'm not sure if this should fit in (insert adjective here), but perhaps it should deserve its own topic. Mods, feel free to move it as you wish. Anyway...

Don't get me wrong. I love my phat, silver DS. It is a source of many hours of enjoyment.

Unfortunately, it has become a source of many hours of frustration. Thanks to fast and furious Tetris and Mario Kart playing, my shoulder buttons started wearing out on my phat.

Curiously, I decided to buy a triwing screwdriver and check it out. My first obstacle was a damaged screw. A flathead fixed that. Next, I pulled out the shoulder buttons, spring and all. Then, I put them back in, closed it up, and noticed that the shoulder buttons were tighter and even more unresponsive than ever.

This is where I ask you, the TMK public: how do I restore my DS phat's shoulder buttons? And have any of you suffered DS degradation? Has your rectangular brick suffered from worn-outedness?

Edit: By the way, I've had mine since December 2004 and never in my life have I bought two of a console or handheld.

Couple other things:

The Wii Menu loads two seconds faster, and you can navigate the system options menu with the plus and minus buttons.

All the clock needs is the 24 noise, then I'll be all set.

Thanks to DeepDiscount.com, I got my HP7 book around 2pm Pacific Time today, seven hours before the NY launch and ten before the LA launch.

As an incentive for ordering with someone who shipped the books out early and ended up allowing spoilers to be posted over the internets, Scholastic called me up and said that I should not read it until midnight tonight. I will receive a $50 credit for their bookstore and a collectable t-shirt.

That's great. I wasn't planning to read it, anyway. Not until I read books 5 and 6.



Oh, and I lol at false spoilers.

We're telling bad jokes now
Telling bad jokes
The ones you've heard a million times
The kind of jokes that little kids tell ya
Why was I stapled to the chicken?
I don't know man,
I wasn't stapled to any chicken!
