I finally broke the ice and played 3DS at my usual coffee shop haunt. I'm beginning to just not give a damn anymore. I think people were rather interested in what I was doing though more than looking down their noses. 

When I first went on Facebook, I connected with an old friend from college and one of the first things he said to me was "You're a gamer? Cool." That was the first time I'd been called that. I had always played games, but no one ever called me a gamer 'til then, sometime around 2007.

And then, when it's fully mainstream, my compulsion to be an outsider will kick in and I'll go to something else equally disrespected... or not.

It's hilarious that what used to be a triple A console game probably for the PS1 or even PS2, is now on a phone. Incredible!

Have you seen that controller that you can attach a phone to? I saw one at Best Buy the other day. It was for Android, but it's a pretty cool idea... Oh yea, here it is, The MOGA.

Should be called The FISH of Jesus. Great gore in that!

Nice!

I love all the Mario & Luigi games. Partners in Time is where I started. Then I went back to Superstar Saga, and I've yet to pick up Bowser's and Dream Team. I WILL HAVE THEM!

I'm playing it as casually as possible and it's pretty easy that way. I think I might actually make it to the end this time.

I know where a complete copy of Bowser's Inside Story is. I just don't want to spend $35 for it yet. I shouldn't wait too long though. I went to a Target, a local retro shop, and even a Sears and didn't find it at all. It won't be around in the wild much longer.

The story was very focused I thought. It wasn't unnessarily confusing or cheap in its plot twists.

The controls were perfect. It was all about timing and anticipating what the opponent would do.

I think I've heard the second one gets a little goofy, or over-the-top in a bad way... I just read the wiki on it and it says that Condemned 2 improved on the mechanics of the first game but the story wasn't as tight and the feeling of tension was lessened by an overdose of blood and guts. So it seems like the first one wins for overall atmosphere and creepiness.
