New Addiction
After many months of speaking with coworkers and friends, I gave in to peer
pressure and purchased an Nintendo DS. My decision was based on more than just
the games available, as I've considered myself to be only a casual gamer.
DSLinux has a set up for running
GNU/Linux on the DS hardware, which includes support for the touch screen and
the 802.11b wireless network. If it hasn't been done already, I'd like to port
the drivers and the on-screen keyboard application from Linux to
NetBSD and run that on the DS.
But before that happens, I'm going to have to complete the game I'm currently
playing. As a result of giving in to peer pressure, the first game I purchased
for the DS was Pokemon Pearl. It is very addictive. So far I've logged about 31
hours, obtained 7 of 8 gym badges, traded pokemon with and battled against
friends and coworkers.
I am eagerly awaiting the Nintendo event at Toys R Us at the end of the month
which will unlock Darkrai.
Yes, I am a loser. I never said I wasn't.
