A Wii bit of fun

Today Darren bought over his Wii so I could see what it was like on my 50″ widescreen. I must say, I wasn’t massively impressed with the graphics, but that’s more than made up for with the controller. Wii sports is awesome and five of us played it together for hours.

Then we thought we’d have a look at Zelda.. and when I realised that you could put in whatever you liked for the name of the main character (usually called “Link”) and his horse, hilarity ensued 🙂 (more…)

If you don’t know what an M3 DS Simply is, it’s an awesome little bit of kit that is exactly the same size as a regular Nintendo DS game, only you can chuck a memory card in it, with all of your games! So you don’t have to carry around a bag of cartridges when you’re on the train. It’s genius. Check it out:

Anyway!.. I’m only mentioning all this because last night I decided to customise the menu. So without further ado I present my M3 DS Simply Skin: (more…)
