Two Screens, tons o' fun!.. and some clowns

So if you haven't been keeping up with handheld gaming news, the new Nintendo DS Lite comes out this Sunday. But if you have been keeping up with handheld gaming news, then you know that last week several large retail chains across the country screwed up and started selling them early. Sooo... we got a tip from a realiable source at work that a Target nearby was selling them. Heather took off the next morning and managed to get one!

They are way different than the other gameboy models you might have played. Not just the two screens and the touch screen and the microphone... but the wireless connectivity is pretty amazing. There are about 4 of us (soon to be more) at work that have DS's. So everyday we've been eating real quick and the playing games against each other for the rest of the lunch period. It's a blast.

Then tonight I decided to try the WiFi. If you have a wireless high speed internect access point you can play online against anyone from around the world. Fortunatly I have some cool neighbors with wirelss networks so I was able to try it out! Thanks guys. Anyway, very cool and takes handheld gaming to a new level that's pretty sweet.

Heather likes it too. And we got Brooke a Nintendogs game that she thinks is really neat. She can say "Daisy" (what we named our dog in the game) into the microphone and the puppy will come running to the front of the screen. You can use the touch screen to "pet" and interact with the dog. She giggles all the time when we're playing it.

Also going to the Ringling Bros circus tomorrow. Heather wasn't too interested so it'll just be me and Brooke. I haven't been to one since I was a kid so I think it'll be fun.
