DS LITE vs. PSP Slim

2008-08-29T20:07:00.001-07:00

Well, today our showdown shall be between the DS Lite and PSP Slim. We'll be comparing them.
GAMES
Well, the DS appeals to many casual, and some hardcore gamers. It has many first party exclusives like Mario, Zelda, Animal Crossing, Nintendogs, etc. These games are innovative because they really make use of the DS's uniques features like the touch screen. Nintendogs also makes use of the built-in microphone. The games are enjoyable, especially for young kids. Games like Picross, and Crossword are very educational and addicting, based on some of the people in IGN forums. I wander and lurk mostly at the boards, observing their opinions. Plus, the DS is compatible with Gameboy Advance games, thus expands their library. But the DS Lite can't play Gameboy, or Gameboy Color games. The DS really has a lot of games. Want music? Pick up Guitar Hero: On Tour, or Elite Beat Agents. Like Final Fantasy? Get FF:III, FF:IV, or FF: XII Revenant Wings. GTA? GTA Chinatown Wars is coming to the DS! The library is really colossal, and has many worthwlle gems worth your peso.

As for the PSP, many Sony loyalists, and harcore gamers would enjoy the PSP library. God of War, Tekken 5: DR, Need for Speed, Star Wars, GTA, etc. But I don't think that many very young kids would enjoy the PSP's games. The games of the PSP are beautiful, very pretty graphics. Yet, the PSP library isn't really that big. It only appeals to a centain crowd, while it is very focused, I would really want to see more child-oriented games.

Winner: DS LIte

Controls
The DS have four directional buttons, four buttons(X,Y,A,B), microphone, and a stylus for the touch screen. The touch screen really gives games more variety, and interaction. In IGN's DS Lite vs. PSP; they said(I think so) that the DS's control buttons are,hence, smaller that the PSP's. True to that, the PSP's directional buttons are a bit more comfortable to use.
Let's go to the PSP
Like what I mentioned earlier, the PSP's directional buttons are more comfortable to use, since they have a better size. It does have an analog stick, but for me, it's not that comfortable. The PSP also has four buttons(X, O, Square, Triangle).
The verdict? While the PSP's size of the buttons are more comfortable, not to mention an analog stick, the DS's touch screen allows more interaction.
Winner: Tie

Features
The DS Lite plays games, I think there's card so you can play music too. But, the DS's focus aren't about features, but more about the games.
The Sony PSP Slim has many features. It can play music, store photos, play games, videos, and even browse the internet! I even hard Japan has already GPS for the PSP Slim
Winner: PSP Slim

Battery Life
Based on what I read in one gaming magazine, the DS can play for moe than 8 hours, but the PSP Slim can only play for 3-6 hours. Isn't it obvious who wins in this category?
Winner: DS Lite

Results: DS-3 2-PSP

Have I forgotten anything else?

TG's problems with the GG

2008-04-09T06:53:00.000-07:00

So, I've joined the Total Girl forum yesterday, I've browsed around their bestie connection.
forum. That's when I noticed an interesting topic, I opened it and saw a link, I checked it out.

Guess what I saw?

I saw a blog, a blog made by two thirteen year old girls. They refer to themselves as Glossy Girl Sydney, and Glossy Girl Cobalt. They also have an account in the TG forums, their username was glossygirlsX3.

Wondering where I found that out?

I saw it while I was browsing along, the topic had already been locked just recently, since many fights have occurred. Of course, this involved glossygirlsX3, and some of the people whom detest them for their wrongdoings. Their blog, was one specifically created to bash the girls whom were members of the TG Forum community. Their blog usually bashed about the girls in the TG Forums, and the two GG Girls classified whether the celebrity was in or out. They update often, almost everyday.

Now you ask, why have I written all of these?

Of course, I have a good reason for writing this entry. Sydney and Cobalt, these two girls have been hurting the other girls' feelings. Ok, I'm not going to go all ballistic and out of control at this rate, I shall handle this situation calmly and firmly. And, I here will put justice to those whom have been wrongly judged.

One of the people whom have been mentioned in the blog, she had used her blog for defense, writing the things that have happened to her, her feelings, and more. And that's what inspired me to write this. Her name is Aleea, a real good person who stands up for her right. People on the TG Forum have been really angry, they have argued with the GG Girls, started campaigns, and many more.

What do I have to say?

GG girls Cobalt and Sydney, get a life. Honestly, you girls spend time actually comparing the girls in the TG Forum and write about their flaws in your blog. In fact, you blog doesn't deserve to be one! Blogs are supposed to be inspirational, blogs represent your true self. Yes, and your blogs represent that you two are sluts, mean girls, those who have nothing good to do in life. You may read this and call me a retard, or anything you think I am. But get this, I'm a girl who refuses to give up, I will not surrender until this is over. You think they're the only ones with flaws? Why don't you take a look at your ugly selves, it's obvious to see who really is the wrong, the mean, and the ugly one. I don't care if you're older than me, or not. But seriously, you two need to start up your brain. I don't care about your damn opinion, your remarks, or whatever. I'm doing this for the people in TG, I'm not afraid to be in your so called "blog." I'm not afraid to stand up to you, and I'm not afraid to face you two. Just try my patience, then you'll see how I'm a wrong choice to take on.

To all the people in the TG Forums, I appreciate how you support Aleea's blog, continue doing that. You all, don't be to affected by the two GG Girls. Remember, nobody's perfect, you can't have it all. And, as Christina Aguilera sings, Words can bring me down. Think of that, can something as little as words hurt you? Why should you care about the bad things they say to you, if you know that conscience is clear. That's what matters the most.
