I've done some audacity bends before. Most pictures are on my old computer (in which I actually used my own pictures, not stolen .bmp files from wikipedia) and I haven't gotten around to attempting to recover them yet. I did have these ones saved though:

I've been staring at that thing on newegg.com for weeks... Wondering whether or not I can spare enough $$$ for when it comes out...

Hmmm.... Probably a windows 95 computer and "Chip's challenge". That game still never gets old...

Seriously tho, what kind of school do you attend where teacher get mad if you bring a gameboy?
Did he give a reason why he didn't want you to bring one?

He did think it was pretty cool, actually! Thing is, people are texting all the time during class, so the school has a rule against electronic devices. He needed to treat it the same as any other device he saw being used in class. A few other teachers of mine are really cool about it though. One time, after we had accomplished everything for the period in spanish and I had some downtime, I had a big conversation with the teacher about our favorite NES games. Hell, we used to have an "intro to electronics" class (which got cut due to the fact that like 3 people in the shcool wanted to take it). The things students would be repairing are still in big boxes in one of the computer labs. I've become friends with the teacher who was teaching the class, and he lets me take pretty much any of the junk in the boxes. Scored an NES with a broken 72-pin off of him! Well, that went on for longer than I expected, why did you read all this crap?

I always have a DMG in my pocket in school. However, recently it fell out during algebra and my teacher got really mad and threateded a detention if I brought a gameboy to school again. Can't wait to see his reaction to what I did to my calculator...

When I first discovered chipmusic, I assumed that videogame references weren't looked upon with hatred for the most part. When I actually have some music, I'll probably make a new account with a better name.

Right, totally forgot about that. Excuse me, I need to go waste 30 mins on an FPS on a 64x64 screen...

Sansa Clip Zip is really good. Inexpensive for the lower capacity ones, with an SD card slot (as stated by sandneil). In addition, they are compatible with an alternative firmware made for many different music players called "Rockbox". The UI is hell at first, but its quite versatile after you're used to it.

Have you done any tests on original DMG cases or ASM cases? Also, there's a fair amount of open space on the top of an NES...

Got to try someone's today. Comments:
- I expected the shoulder buttons to be clicky like on the DS lite. Instead, they pressed down more like D-PAD buttons, which felt strange at first but is actually quite nice.
- If you can fit a DMG in your pocket, you can fix this thing in as well (though the screens would be exposed, so I wouldn't recommend it)
- I expected it to be more dense and heavier than it was. It doesn't feel very substantial in your hands, and I wish It weighed a bit more. That said, this may just be from being used to the balance of a DMG's 4 AA batteries weighing 10 pounds, so judge for yourself
- LCDs shine in glorious 2D graphics, as expected

Totally misjudged this thing when I first saw it online, it's a fun little console!
In conclusion, anyone who wants to play Korg MD-10, Pokemanz, or anything else and is willing to sacrifice a feature or two, the 2DS is a great way to save yourself $70. WOULD BUY!

Never heard that one before...

But seriously, HYPE!

I'm hyperventilating right now, holy god. Only question: WHY DOES THE BLUE HAVE A STANDARD SCREEN PROTECTOR!?!?!

I'm picking up my copies in about 30 minutes. I look forward to playing them 3 months from now when I get a 3DS...
