My Blitz Creations

I've been hearing a lot about Grid Wars the last few days but check out the other games this guy has made. There's a cool Scrabble clone, Marble Madness, and some others.

Which DS?

Yeah, I'm totally drooling over the DS Lite. I'm definitely going to get one as an early birthday present. The big rumor is that it will be released in May here in the U.S. and bundled with the New Super Mario Bros. game. I really dig how small the Lite is but most of all how bright it is. Although the screen on the DS is back lit there are still some visibility issues if you're playing outside during the day. Those issues are pretty much gone with the Lite.

It would also be great to have another DS to try homebrew stuff out on and to have around when one of my friends who doesn't have one wants to play a multiplayer game. Download Play has been my favorite feature of the DS by far. Almost all the multiplayer games my friends and I have support it in some form or another. I also think Nintendo is genius for supporting it because once you play one of your buddies games in download play you really, really want to buy it. It worked for me with Mario Kart and Meteos.

I would recommend to the folks out there who are interested in the DS that can wait a little bit to hold out for a DS Lite. However, I'm starting to see some great deals on the regular DS. Target is offering a bundle with WarioWare for only $130 and there is the new Animal Crossing bundle as well. Don't even get me started again on how amazing Animal Crossing is. And there is my obligatory DS love fest of the day.

Like I said eariler, I've been so apathetic about movies this past year (and poor too) that I haven't seen any of the movies nominated for Best Picture. I'm a little ashamed. This is definitely a first for me. DVD has spoiled me. I'll be working anyways. But Jon and Grace are going to Tivo it for me because I really want to see Jon Stewart. For a better Oscar preview, check out Luis' picks. He really dug Good Night, and Good Luck. I really want to see that. The only "Oscar Movie" I saw last year was Syriana, which I really liked. I think George Clooney will probably win for that. Anyway, have a good Sunday everybody.
