No miming, no eye signals, one. Word.

Oh interesting, we always allow miming in Round 2. It's a good way to "prime" your teammates for Round 3...but I could see why that'd be undesirable

roughly $100 million to market and distribute.

And yet this is the first time I'm hearing that it's out

Could you imagine it, though? Imagine dragons?

Even the individual days go by so fast though

E3 2004! The HYPEST

We met Reggie, who's about kicking ass and taking names.

And the DS is revealed...and it COMES OUT THAT YEAR?! Whaaaaaa

I was so hyped. I started saving my pennies right away.

The multiplayer experience was unbelievable. No cables, no square box thing to play more than 2 players. And you didn't even need multiple copies of the game! Just all play Mario Kart!

The thumb strap was a neat idea, but not the easiest in practice. Though I did find it great for aiming in the Metroid FPS game, much better than the stylus.

And OF COURSE it was backwards compatible!

Loved it. Beautiful machine. I still have 2 DS Lites that work.

Ah. The classic

Feel free to enumerate other options.

Same. Although I haven't played in a while and I know a lot of mechanics were reworked. Maybe it's time to hit it up again.

Only downside is it eats battery like crazy

Am I the only one who loves the Switch? That the joycons come off and even have their own shoulder buttons is so cool. You can just set it on a table and play some multiplayer Mario Kart, heck yes. And they snap into the ring fit circle thingie! Neat! And the Pro controller is great all around.

Shout out to the DS Lite. Loved that thing. Gotta have the thumb strap to play that Metroid multiplayer FPS.

Worst: TI-84. How the hell they still charging over $100 for this thing, when it has less processing power than a Palm Pilot? Seriously the CPU is from 1976. Yeah Bubble Bobble and Block Dude are great, but the Zelda port runs awful.

We already moved the fingerprint scanner from the back of the phone to the front of the phone, and our focus groups say it would be SO COOL if the scanner was even farther forward!! So on our next model, to unlock your phone, simply punch yourself in the face

It's also worth pointing out that this was sued in a copyright lawsuit some time ago. The wikipedia article mentions it, but here's the slashdot discussion if you want to feel like stepping into a time machine: https://m.slashdot.org/story/158778

It caused a momentary panic when everyone realized that this thing runs the system clocks for everything everywhere, and if it got taken down by a copyright suit it would be disastrous for, well, everybody.
