I just assume tht there's an unwritten rule that you can't say anything bad about Nintendo here.

Well, those are rabid fanboys.

Which is why I should be voted for the official GFF Nintendo fanboy.

Excuse me while I try memorize every game EVER released on a Nintendo console's release date.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Even with gff being down for half a month, some things never change.



Is it just me, or do I see scanlines on the DS Lite? Whatever it is, it's ugly. I'd expect to see that on plain backgrounds like the DS menu screen, or a title screen like Sonic Rush has. It's either that, or it's only shown when you're playing the DS Lite on a certain angle, but I don't remember ever seeing my original DS with something like this.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well aren't you a snappy little troll now.

Seriously Merv, chill. I would expect more maturity from someone like you. You keep sinking to the same levels as the fanboys you so openly want to detest. Discuss the product or get out of the god damn thread. And don't give that "oh but I guess I'm not allowed to say bad things about Nintendo!". Of course you are. But then why would you bother? The product apparently holds no value to you.

And if you bother (which is fine), why shouldn't people reply to you? But instead of replying with a proper argument of your own, you start calling them names. At least this is the pattern I've been seeing as of late. So, is Crash giving you a hard time at home cause you're younger or something?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

So basically you come in here to tell people who would like to buy a DSlite that they are idiots because you don't want one? Huh. Well okay, sounds like you're toting your bags of reason with an tight grip. Please do continue because you're just making the best argument that you aren't trolling right now.

Meh. surasshu will dismiss what he wants and I really don't care. Crash had some legit concerns and as a consumer he has some right to know what he's about to buy. He's someone who actually researches what he spends his cash on. That's very fine. I'm not telling anyone to blindly to buy into anything. I totally recommend that you do that actually. Yet until he has concrete details Crash's post is just speculation and concern which is fine.

Elixir those scanlines are just the result of it being photographed. Go take a picture of your monitor or TV. You'll see some lines depending on the quality of your camera that you don't see when you're actually using them.

FELIPE NO

Wow ok. Way to not be a troll there. You go and lambast the guy for absolutely nothing and throw in a snide comment in hopes of baiting him. Looks like the Warp Room has great moderation, here.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

why are you here

So Merv is trolling, but Akai-chan is totally cool. It's nonsense.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm not sure, Tails, but that might have been a joke. Hurr hurr.

Btw, what has Akai done?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Who the hell said anything about Akai-whatever being cool? I'm replying to Merv here =/

If I'm not mistaken, Akai was the one who trolled Merv, not the other way around. You are reading the whole thing, right?

It just seems like you two are ganging up on Merv and ignoring everything else and it's only solidifying the whole "Pro Nintendo or Get Out" POV.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Um where? I must have missed it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I would have thought it's "Discuss the topic, not the people".

I as referring a bit back as Merv was responding to surashu.
If you paid attention, you might notice I haven't posted in this thread even once. I only posted in reply to Merv's action, as I feel he should know better.

Now, you didn't answer my question.

FELIPE NO

I shouldn't have to help a moderator read his own thread. There's three or so posts on the previous page.

TALK ABOUT THE FUCKING HANDHELDS.

Not argue or shut people down, talk.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

No, Tails, I require clarification. I'm reading it but not seeing it. Also, I believe this thread was started by Elixir.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You know what? Call me a fucking troll if you like. Fine. I can deal with with it.

But,
1) Don't call me one if you're also going do it yourself.

and,

2) Keep your fucking petty personal attacks out of here. "I would expect more maturity from someone like you."

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Honestly, I am just trying to figure out what drives you to come here even though you seem to hate it so much.
You're still allowed to say bad things about Nintendo, no one's denying you of that =/

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm still trying to figure out what makes you think you can call me a troll and then troll and personally attack me. It seems as if that's all you came here to do.

I don't need you to tell me that I can say "bad" things about Nintendo. What do you think I've been doing for months now.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well, you say stuff like this so I felt as a mod I should assure you that's not the case. But since you're already aware of this, there should be no problem then.

I don't know where you got this personal attack thing, I was just asking. Everyone seems to intent on avoiding my questions these days =/

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Are you even serious.

Just admit you threw in a snide comment to try and piss me off. Make it look like "official mod bizness" even though you know Acer could handle this on his own.

FELIPE NO

Why on earth would I try to piss you off? The last thing I want is you getting angry at someone in this thread again =/

Seriously, just chill. You don't want a Lite, good. I don't see how that makes other people who want one idiots, even ones who own the previous DS. Just the fact that the thing is smaller and apparently has better battery life seems enough to make people want one.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

For the sake of bringing this thread back, someone with Lite answer this question: If you don't have a DS would it be worth the extra $$ to get the Lite, or should I go cheaper with the original DS?

Hey, people can hate the Lite if they want. Personally I see no point to the Lite if there's no REAL change to the control interface (touching two places at once, for example).

I see no point to the Lite, but I'm a sucker for that glossy look. Wait till Enamel Blue comes out oh baby!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Since I don't own a DS yet but will need to get one for Children of Mana (among other titles that are already out), I want to try the Lite myself. It seems too small for my hands, but I can only make sure by holding it.

Otherwise what little new features there are seem tempting as the two will cost pretty much the same over here (meaning the old DS probably won't drop in price much). The apparently better battery life and backlight will be worth the extra cost for me, but only if the damn thing isn't too small.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Too small? The thing that annoys me is that people claimed the DS was too bulky, but now, it's too small? Heh, now that's not something you hear everyday. I could have sworn this was a portable, heh.

Well, I guess it sounds silly, but it IS smaller than a PSP, which is already quite small, or at least the buttons are squeezed quite close together. I have pretty big hands and from the photos, I can sort of imagine the buttons simply being a bit too close together for comfort.
I actually kind of think that for the original DS, too, though it's certainly nothing that seriously hampers my playing. Just slightly further apart would have my preference.

Anyway, those photos make the original DS screen look pretty bad, probably due to the camera auto-adjusting exposure time for the amount of light that the DS lite screen is generating (or, with the daytime pics, the sun). That's how cameras work, basically.
