Wednesday 30th July
See, too much time on my hands leads to too much browsing of eBay, Figleaves, Be Cheeky, Play and Amazon... Oooh... The DS Lite comes in lime green now? Um...
I can just about afford (a green) one and a couple of pre-owned games but the real question is whether or not it is a good investment. Years back I bought a PSOne and it languishes in its box; I rarely play anything on my laptop, much preferring to er, read or watch things on the screen. It's not that I am unable to get involved in games- Witness the yelling when my army is routed in Stronghold or that big titted bitch simply will not do as I tell her; things inevitably tail off after a while, and it seems a rather expensive thing to have sit gathering dust.
I've never owned a handheld before... perhaps the immediacy of it would increase the chances of me playing it, like I don't have to plug it in to the TV, faff around with channels etcetera. Plus I could take it places, like my bedroom... or the back garden... or a train. Hmm.
But what games could I get into? I really like the idea of Trauma Centre but i've never played any Final Fantasy or Legend of Zelda. The World Ends With You looks interesting but i'm not really into beat-em-ups. Hmm.
I should get one. A lime green one. Whether I will actually get one remains to be seen...
On a not entirely unrelated theme...
BBC News Teacher recruitment advert banned
"An advert that claimed young teachers could earn £34,000 a year in England has been banned by the advertising watchdog for being misleading.
The Advertising Standards Authority said the advert suggested a starting salary about £14,000 higher than the real one of £20,133 for outer London."
