Slightly Off-Topic

So, yeah… the 3DS comes out today, and early reports say it’s pretty cool… and that the battery life is pretty bad…

I have to admit that while I consider myself and old school gamer, I’ve never been a Nintendo fan.  My systems of choice back in the day were Atari, Sega and Commodore.  I never really understood the attraction of Mario or Zelda (there I said it!).  By the time I wanted a cartridge-based portable, the Game Gear just seemed to offer a better experience than the Game Boy (though with truly terrible battery life).  When it comes down to it, I prefer the PSP with it’s gorgeous screen and old-school gaming style to the DS (of any variant), so it’s out, but I feel no need to buy one.  Things I shall do today instead of buying one include:

1. Kissing a girl (Laurie)
2. Cleaning the townhouse.
3. Sheparding a Corn Beef on it’s smokey journey to the land of pastrami.
4. Returning a 6-week old microwave with slightly ‘splodey electronics.
5. Kissing a girl (Laurie)
6. Dragon Age II
7. Going for a walk around the lake.
8. Planescape: Torment
9. …and ideally… Kissing a girl (Laurie).

I made the stereogram over at flash-gear.  Interestingly, I find my eyes can see the predominantly red ones just fine, but can not focus on the blue ones…
