Nintendo DSi - Part 3

Will See If My Grandma Likes It

27. January 2009

My grandmother isn’t like most grandmothers that I know. She not only loves to get around and doesn’t enjoy knitting or crocheting, but she loves video games. For Christmas last year I bought her a DS Lite and she bought me one. We both got Mario Party for the DS and used the wireless connection [...]

I’m not what you’d call a typical gamer. I’m over the age of thirty, female, and have a professional job. I’ve never really been into games and didn’t play many video games when I was young. A few years ago, however, my sister-in-law showed me her Nintendo Gameboy and all that it could do. I [...]

My mom wanted me to write why I was really excited about the DSi system coming out. There are lots of reasons. I love to play video games. I’ve got a PlayStation 2, a Wii, and a DS. I got my DS last year for Christmas, after begging my mom and dad for months. They finally [...]

Have you ever saved up all of your money to buy something that you absolutely hated? That’s what happened when I bought another popular gaming console. I saved up months worth of babysitting money in order to buy it. My best friend’s brother had one and it looked really cool. Then I went to the [...]

Even though I’m going on 50 (must sooner than I want) and even though I’m not looking forward to the ribbing my students are going to give me when I turn 50, there is one thing that I am looking forward to getting for my birthday. The Nintendo DSi. I have been a fan of video [...]

Two years ago my physical trainer asked that I get the Nintendo Wii. He explained that the Wii would help me to be able to get back into physical shape in a slow steady manner. I am overweight, and have been for most of my life. Before I got the Wii and began playing it, [...]

I have been a physical education teacher for fifteen years. During this time I’ve watched the kids that I work with get more and more addicted to video games, and get further and further away from walking around outside and enjoying the fresh air. I’ve seen them glue their butts to the couch in order [...]

I’m a professional blogger. It’s a weird title, for sure, and I often have to explain to someone what a professional blogger is, and what they do, for quit awhile before they actually understand how it works. I know a lot of other people who work online, and it seems like most people are finding [...]

How Are the Online Features?

One of the things that I loved the most about the DS Lite was that it allowed you to connect to people online and to play against them. I’ve been a huge fan of playing RPG games online since Diablo came out, and can recall many nights when I spent hours playing with friends from [...]

I’m one of those parents that doesn’t buy anything for their children without doing serious research on it first. You may call me a bit obsessive, but I like to think that I’m just really careful about what I buy, for a number of reasons. First of all, its easy to buy something dangerous for [...]
