@NK You know, I deduced that it was just a matter of timing like a minute after I posted that and instantly regretted it. Happens a lot. We cool?

(ty for the kudos, btw!)

WE ALL CHILL, Y'ALL!

@Rose A [u]very[/u] nice set of feels just occurred.

[b][u][center]NINTENTALK TIME[/center][/b][/u]

I have a power cord being shipped from Amazon (which I'm now discovering is the greatest invention in the history of the universe) for my DS because I lost mine, and I really can't wait for it to arrive so I can start playing Pokemon Platinum again. Fresh save file. Starting from scratch. I'm incredibly excited.

I also nearly bought a 3DS XL, DSi XL, and Game Boy Advance SP a couple weeks ago. I have the money. I just...urgh. I can't decide. The 3DS XL is what I really want, but it's at the upper end of my price range and I don't know if it's worth it. I played one in a store (a Yoshi game) and thought it was really slick, but I'm still not sure. My DS needs replacing regardless as it's one of the old phat ones that's uncomfortable...not to mention half of the hinge has exposed wiring and is held together with duct tape. I mean...it's well worth it because even though those issues were there when I got it, I got it [u]for free[/u], and it's provided countless hours of entertainment. But I need an upgrade. The DSi XL is actually nice and cheap, as is the GBA SP. I could buy both and be happy, but...........3DS. I wanna play Pokemon X/Y, Super Smash Bros. and Super Mario 3D Land so badly.

Speaking of those games...Super Mario 3D [b][u]World[/b][/u] and Super Smash Bros. are making me want a Wii U [u]really[/u] badly as well. Nintendo seriously has what I want down to a science. I really want a standard Wii, too, since they're cheaper and I could upgrade my DP Apartment Video Game Friend Chill Session equipment from only Super Smash Bros. 64 (nobody's interested in playing any of my PS2 or PS3 games, which is fair because they're not party-oriented) to Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a game I adore.

But, because I'm a college student and most of my money is most likely going to go to brass instruments, I probably won't end up with any of those for a while.
