I’ve decided to put the DS games in their own category, and I’ve finished the first game this stage, Super Princess Peach. Super Princess Peach is the Mario game for girls, younger gamers, and the casual gamer alike. The game is very similar to New Super Mario Bros. but - like I will stress in the review - a lot easier. The game begins with a magic scepter of emotions going off, giving everyone heigtened emotions, allowing Bowser to capture Mario, thus the game being called “Super Princess Peach”, and not “Super Prince Mario” (which is slightly gay). How was the game? Is it okay for guys, or older gamers? Read on to find out. (more…)

Old Pc May 25, 2007

Yes, I’m back, it’s nice to be home. Anyways, while I was gone, I happened upon an old computer in one of my family members’ basement. The PC was cutting-edge and state of the art, and thus, I put it on the bed and popped the sucker open. Inside, dust was the master of the realm; the RAM stick was filled with dust, the PCI card was extremely dirty, and the CPU fan was so clogged that it might not have even spun were the machine turned on. The PC features the following specs:

600 MHz CPU
15 GB HDD
64 MB RAM (64? No way!)

However, by far, the most impressive component of this PC was the brand-spanking new “Built-In 56k Modem”. Remember that PCI card I mentioned earlier? Yeah, that’s the “built-in” modem. Seeing all these things gave me, for the first time in my life, an almost irresistible urge to clean the machine out. Not only the dust, but also to remove all the parts and take them with me. Which is what I was going to do until I realized I had no where to store a stick of RAM, other than my pocket… Anyway, it was neat seeing an older PC, and how much it resembled even the most advanced PC of today. And, for the record, I left all parts intact (although I did move the built in modem from the top slot to the bottom!), and took none with me.
