I Have A New Toy
Gah, I totally splurged this past weekend and got myself a Nintendo DS lite in Cobalt and Black! OMFG it is freaking awesome! I had been wanting to get one - mostly because of those stupid Brain Age commercials. I like interaction in learning and I really need something that will help me with my logic skills and thinking and heck, it’s a video game system! Yea!
The cobalt and black one was just released this week too, I think. I like it. I thought black would be stylin’, but boring. Too bad that there isn’t a purple or green one. Oh well.
I started playing the Brain Age 2 game and man, I think my initial test put my brain age in the 50’s! Bullkaka! The second test brought me down to my 40’s, but still, it’s not that great. It literally is brain training in just minutes a day. It’s just too bad that I play it shortly before my bedtime, so I am either 1) really tired or 2) it stimulates my brain so I can’t fall asleep! Doh! It also includes over 100 sudoku puzzles. Sounds exciting, but I have never done a sudoku in my life, so I got stumped just looking at one. LOL!
I also picked up this game called Professor Layton and the Curious Village. It’s another game that is full of puzzles. I have mixed feelings about it though. One thing that is really cool about it is that it has over 100 puzzles and you can also download a new puzzle every week - for how long I don’t know, but heck even 10 extra puzzles is cool. It also includes a bunch of full action animation to get you between scenes, which was pretty cool in the beginning, but I am over that part now and just think that some of the transitions are wastes of time. The puzzles are pretty challenging, especially for my brain that’s in the 40’s in age. LOL.
I will probably scour the ads this weekend to see if any other games are on sale because I think I need some mindless entertainment game - to take a break from the critical thinking. Heeheee.
Oh well, it is still KICK ASS! GO ME!
