I've never gotten a headache from my Virtual Boy.

And I've never gotten a boyache from my Virtual Head.

The Virtual Boy was DESIGNED to give headaches. Trust me, if horrible, blurry, flashy red-and-black screens pressed up against your eyeballs doesn't give you a migraine within four minutes, you're superhuman. If it doesn't kill you within five, you're magic.

I guess Chup and I aren't ordinary by your standards.

Or when the bright screens of the DS blinds you and hurts your eyes, hey, It's happened to me before.

Not that I'm complaining, but my siblings hate playing MP2 multiplayer because they aren't used to the control scheme (and they can't figure out how I manage to kill them while they're invisible, because they haven't experimented with the controls enough or played through the game enough to know what the Dark Visor does). Also, the Pokémon Diamond/Pearl control scheme is pretty odd if you've been playing LeafGreen extensively, because of trying to adjust to using Y instead of Select to activate the bicycle.

Uh, horrible, blurry? The VB display is neither.
Definitely not blurry. You just don't know how to use one.

It's blurry to me because I wear glasses, and when it's that close to my eyes it's very blurry. But then again, I'm not magic or superhuman.

You need to freakin' adjust the focus slide.

Glorb · « **Reply #24 on:** May 25, 2007, 12:51:54 PM »

Whatever. Man, it's just my personal experience. Maybe I have eye problems. But regardless, the Virtual Boy was weird.

So, you back off from your claims only to reiterate them. I'm confused!

Isn't the default for YIDS the same as YI for the SNES?
I hate any control scheme that begs you to touch your screen with your thumb. NSMB and SPP have this going on. You think your frequently-used part of the screen to touch will get my DS Lite, do you?! I think not! I will hold the stylus between my fingers and show you all! Grrrrrr...

I grew my fingernails long just for that purpose. (and to play guitar) (and self defense) (come to think of it, I use my finger nails for pretty much everything)

Glorb · « **Reply #27 on:** May 28, 2007, 08:43:40 AM »

Fingernails are also good for unscrewung screws, and poking people really hard.

Oh yes. Long fingernails are surprisingly good for defending against big bossy sisters. ...I wonder if my oldest sister still has that scar?

I didn't like the way Nintendo mapped the SNES controls for the Gamecube controller on the Virtual Console. It's extremely awkward. It's their way of saying "just buy the Classic Controller." Conversely, I thought that SM64 was easier to operate using the GC controller.
