kidsters

i have been eyeing a new way to kill time. they always say to get a new hobby, though truthfully i have to finish at least 7 books at hand, i decided to be out there and buy myself a new hobby. it’s more than a hobby if you ask me, but it will do and serves the purpose so i’m calling it a hobby. it is so in-line with my creating the possibility of me being happy.

i call her hobby#1. my new nintendo ds lite. this also serves as my advance birthday gift for myself, so advance like a month advance. i don’t know this shade of red, it’s more like a metallic wine red finish that you see in cars but i call it kotse red with matte black. it comes with the ds-tt  cartridge contrary to the popular r4, so i need just to download the games to a micro sd card and voila! i can play it on my ds. free games on the internet, i think they are free though. i can play with other ds people via a local wireless connection or through the internet via wifi connection. yes, this little gadget packs a wifi connection. sweet!

i love this game! i play this with my officemates during breaks at the pantry since the kill-joy people at the office always hush us during game time. but we couldn’t help it when we shout and groan after successfully bombing each other. same typical bomberman however the ds version is capable of hosting up to 8 simultaneous players connected either local wireless connection or over the internet. neat huh? even neater is the fact that it has a download play (geek alert!) capability. simply means that only 1 ds needs the bomberman game, all other ds-s can sorta-kinda temporarily download a copy of the game from the host ds. we’re planning to host a bomberman tournament with other floors of the building. hehehe.

mario kart is another favorite game. this is not your ordinary racing game. still the objective is to get ahead of the pack to the finish line but this one has surprises along the way. you get to open a box with random items, could be a star, a shell, mushroom, a banana peel or even a fake box. you get to use it at any time you think you’ll need it the most. you may knock your opponents out of the track by bumping them on the sides or using your items to course them off track. like for example, a red shell is a homing shell you can use to throw to your opponent. the banana peel is something you can leave behind for others behind you to slip on. it will build your strategy as well on when and how to use each item you find. there’s an on-going war between the 11th flr people (SAP guys) and us 18th flr (web guys). need to polish those power slide so i can kick some serious SAP butts!

i’m being a kid again i know, but it’s so much fun that i don’t care. even if the kid beside me is playing the same game. at least i have the limited edition one, and the color alone is something only of discriminating taste could appreciate :-p .
