...PSSSHHTTTCHCHHCHH

My ipod screen looks like this now.

It has had the crack from the top left corner for a long time now, but the rest is new...

This doesn't affect my life drastically, except resale value later. But, whatever.

I still have lots of SQ/EO goodies to share.
I hate my scanner.

That is all.

and this is why I don't understand spending a shit-ton of money on fragile electronics that you typically use in a rough manner, ie, cell phones and mp3 players are meant to be tossed in pockets, toted everywhere, slung about, etc. At least, not when you're as clumsy and accident-prone and I am

hence my shitty phone that I've dropped numerous times and smashed to pieces, but still works and isn't scratched or broken. Hence my $30 mp3 player that's super tiny and has survived several bike crashes, a few accidental drops, etc.

My rant is that my laptop, while awesome, can't play Team Fortress 2 or Falf-Life 2, and I could only play Portal yesterday by turning the graphics super shitty and just dealing with the terrible lag at the more complex parts.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF--

My DS didn't turn on the other night, so I was like, whatever, and plugged it in. Today when I went to turn it on, it wouldn't. After I hit the power switch, the light goes dim green for a second, then brighter for a second, then off. It won't turn on. I took a peek at the battery, no corrosion or anything I can see. I tried it with games, without, ect. My DS broke 6 days before the 3DS comes out. Is this a sign from the heavens to buy one? I feel like crying. It's not like I mistreat it, I can count the number of times I dropped it on one hand, and it rarely leaves it's case or my pocket if it isn't in the case, unless I'm holding it. I'm so freaking sad.

[hide]Don't hate on me being attached to a machine, I didn't realize how bad I wanted to play it until I couldn't.[/hide]

reminds me of the time I had to send my DS in for repairs, kinda. It would be on.... on on on on for like several hours then just shut off o_O; ....... and then sometimes it would be sitting there and I would look over and realize O_O the light is flashing like it's on.

but my warranty is long gone, and repair charges are just as much as a new one. I may have to go against what I said about not getting a launch 3DS... :/

Postby **Maxine MagicFox** » Tue Mar 22, 2011 4:55 am

repairs are only $70 and if they don't have your model, they will potentially upgrade is what I think the policy is or something like that? Anywho, I was able to talk them down to $50. $20 isn't much but was a little better.

Postby **zamisk** » Tue Mar 22, 2011 4:57 am

That is better, I guess. But still, this may be a good time to upgrade

Postby **Maxine MagicFox** » Tue Mar 22, 2011 5:01 am

from a slick DSLite with a battery life of AT LEAST a full day (if not more) with great games and quality and portability, to a less than impressive looking 3DS with a screen gimmick, not a huge library, a battery life of MAYBE 4 hours...

This to me is not an upgrade. *shrugs* A DSi MIGHT be an upgrade.... ..........

Wait, 3DS plays DS games still, right??

Postby **Maxine MagicFox** » Tue Mar 22, 2011 5:43 am

? does it? I didn't think so? but then again, I can't remember what I read to indicate that? :\ ..... where is Scy when you need him.

3DS can play both types of games. But that is true about the battery, which is why I'm waiting for the 3DS Lite or whatever it is.

Postby **zamisk** » Tue Mar 22, 2011 5:55 am

Lol it does. Competely slipped my mind, though. Still mad about the lame battery, launch titles, and region locking though, but if I can scrape together enough money to buy one I won't be able to afford any games for a while. No pokemon or scribblenauts for a while, it would seem...

Argh, seriously!

Advanced Enrollment: March 23rd
24,25,etc.
My Enrollment Date: March 28th

Of course, you have to give the people under the easiest courses the priority enrolling dates, and give the people with the hardest course (arguably) the last date. Fuck's sake...
