Two down, the rest of the world to go

[ShadowMarth]

I have just returned from a short boy scout trip and also a video game party, and I took my DS to both. I played some of a friend's nintendogs at scouts, and it was fun, but the great stuff came from Advance Wars' hotseat mode. At the beginning of the party, two people had PSPs, there were three PSP lovers, and I was the only one with a DS. They were very nice guys, and quite open minded (even though in recent years two of my friends have turned from Nintendo fans to owners of all three, players of none), and after laying out the facts, they were quite ready to believe how good the DS really was.

After that, we played several more Hotseat games, and we had tons of fun. Heck, one of my friends picked up the strategy rediculously fast. He played amazingly well for the first time. I had lots of fun, and by the end of the party, one person was on the way to get a DS, my friend that played excellently had played campaign mode for 6 straight hours, and the PSPs remained... unplayed.

Talk about a happy ending. About dang time my friends listened to me. Now who's the Ninty fanboy, huh?

Wow, are you sure you weren't dreaming? That doesn't sound very realistic, but it sure is sweet. ;)

[ShadowMarth]

Nope, completely real. I know, open minded sony fans... who knew.

[Pilot_51]

They're as common as what... close minded Nintendo fans? Maybe DS fans is more realistic since you don't have quite as many youngsters addicted to Pokemon.

Aw I love a story with a happy ending <3 :D Woah shadowmarth, what did you put in their drink. Shigeru dribble? :P

Whatever it was, give me some of that to convince my friends to play Ninty games... "Mario's for kids," they say as they claim San Andreas has maturity factors in it!

NO YOU EVIL FIEND, Sony shall avenge!

[ShadowMarth]

Lol, with what? Another twelve racing games? Luckily I had already astounded them with my way-too-much information about the next gen platforms, so they were quite happy to listen to my view...

Beating them with an Iron Pole but as always

Touchds.com does not promote the use of violence. Steel poles - different story.

Wow, I'm on a roll. I just came back from Scouts, and lets just say that one person is an avid AW fan that is now speeding his efforts to get a DS, and another who was getting it for lunar is doing the same.
