Yesterday Lena and I went into the Best Buy apparently to get a 3DS. I say apparently because I hadn't
made it clear to Lena on that point, and I hadn't exactly decided myself. Anyway, there was this kid
in the store who asked me if I was going to get one and I told him I was thinking about it. “Don't
think just get it.” he said emphatically. When I decided to get the thing, he told me that I had picked
out the wrong game. It was amusing in a way. I had after all been buying Nintendo games before he had
been born, in fact he sort of reminded me of myself when I had to save up for my very first Nintendo, the
original 8 bit NES. I saved up by baby sitting a kid with whom I played on his Nintendo with him, so I
earned that first NES by playing NES. If only this were South Korea, and I could be a professional video
game addict, er I mean competitive video game player and fund my addiction by playing. (Actually I think
that would be quite dull). I've had the 3DS for a couple of days now and I have to give it a positive
review so far.
