btw, do Wii Points share the same store with DS? I found cards that say DS and Wii points



No, but the points card will work on either Wii or DSi. Once they're on, you can't transfer them between consoles, and you cant buy Wii games from the DS store or vice versa.

How far were you? Man, I missed like 1 dragon somewhere before the 50 dragon mark, and I got frustrated back tracking through all the damn stages looking for it.

Somewhere around halfway. Last I saw it was 40 something percent and I had beaten a few bosses.

GOD! Silent Hill: Downpour has some really scary moments. There were a couple of miner mannequins on display behind a locked gate. They had their arms behind their backs. One of them slumped over, dead. Turned out to be a real man with his hands bound. I left the room, and when I came back, he was standing upright again. This kinda thing has happened like, 4 times already, and I'm not even 15% done.

It always makes me chuckle when a video game's characters last word is "Ow!".

Did you use original Sony memory cards?
This is one of the major reasons I favour emulation original hardware will only work for so long

He said that NES boxes have no logos or borders to get in the way of the art. He's wrong, they do. Some of them are just as obnoxious or sparse as those found on games today, but there's no doubt that they are just as "in the way".


You can't be "wrong" about preferring something. I said I like NES boxes more than modern boxes because there's more artwork.

You just wanted to be high and mighty and show how right you are and how wrong I am.

What's new, though, dsh? That's your M.O. around here.

That's a rephrasing of what you originally said.
