First thing to do once that laptop comes in and I start grinding new podcasts out is reviving 3DS Life (as 3DS Addict) and that means getting back on track. Lots has happened since my last 3DS Life episode.
- Finally the 3DS is becoming commonplace in my hometown. Nowadays I can meet 1-3 3DS owners on a daily basis without fail. Very nice.
- Though demos have been few of late I have lots to go over with you.
- Quite a few good games are on the eshop. Once I secure a steady reviewing format (New online home, budget, etc) I am definitely going to be picking up VISA Gift Cards to review... things just are not the same gaming wise since Blockbusters closed down.
- Apps have been poor, but this summer at last the 3DS version of as certain DSi app that was used in a certain Zelda anniversary competition is coming out. Pity that is the one and only app coming out to speak of.
Stay tuned for podcast updates as things resolve themselves.

First Impressions Dragon Quest IX and Heroes
What do I think of these so far? Let's see...
DQIX Sentinels of the Starry Skies
The story is OK I guess, being an angelic entity, but once you are thrown from your heavenly home (which I swear was ripped off in Goseiger) it becomes a standard Dragon Quest game and you lose all your new angelic abilities, making the game s bit of a tease dangling New abilities before you then taking them away. Worse, you will plays for hours on end and most likely not run into a second character to team up with. That is sad, especially since I remember finding allies far quicker when I played DQVII sometime ago.
I like the game and all, but I have at this point been grinding away at this game for hours without finding a single New character to team up with... it will reflect in my final score to be certain.
Dragon Quest Heroes Rocket Slime is a little innovative, with a freeroaming environment (same with Dragon Quest IX) and a bit more of a freestyle combat system over turn based combat. Where the game suffers is from repetitive gaming and a kinda lackluster story that does not hook you as well as past Dragon Quests I have played before.
Full reviews coming soon.

Waiting to Recharge 5/12
Let's see, we have a bit to go over...
Ever take the time to buy a multitap charger for Nintendo's handhelds? I got one from Gamestop and it charges a GBA SP, DS Lite and 3DS all at once... I need to buy another one. Apparently the main plug attaches to the multitap via a USB plug, which means you can attach your handhelds to a PC to charge... or you can attach any device with a USB plug for charging, like my MP3 player, or this Kindle Fire HD. Definitely need a second one of these.
Game wise I got a mix of stuff to talk about coming up.
Game Boy (Color) - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets GBC
Game Boy Advance - Same as GBC, GBA version
DS - Dragon Quest IX Sentinels of the Starry Skies
3DS - Monster Hunter Ultimate 3 Demo
Reviews, and one demo preview, coming soon. Stay tuned.
I would worry about talking about Nintendo at E3 this year,and their conference opening press conference... except they cancelled that this year and only have stuff for investors and high class media media planned. Joy. Nothing like getting the cold shoulder from Nintendo to start the summer right. Oh well, hopefully the demos out of E3 are worth it at least.
At the end of this year's tech upgrade things went to enhance my work, and add content. So that means no love for Nintendo... for now. Once again if I am renewed for another year of work I will put an investment into the Fall... though, spoiler, it might be the the Sony PSVita. Stay tuned.
Well that's updates for the coming week. Time to get to work.

Getting back on track
Sorry for the long inactive period but working on getting back up to speed again.
Starting off I am working on getting a hold of a used laptop for grinding out podcasts. Hope to have that resolved soon.
This summer working on 3DS Addict, Pocket Gamer and Wii Life podcasting wise. It will probably be awhile before I try again to upgrade to the Wii U, but if I am renewed for another year of work that will go a way to making that happen. Stay tuned for updates.
Well, first thing first, getting back on track to posting daily here. So let's get to work.

Reimaging 3DS Life
Through carelessness on my part I inadvertibly ended up deleting 3DS Life in whole... well, since I have to repost it anyway I am taking the time to revamp and revitalize the series. Presently working on Episode 1, a mix of new, archive and revisited reviews and topics. The first episode should be done soon.
Presently also bringing back DS Life as a mix of new and archive reviews (clearing off whatever DS reviews were on 3DS Life as I archive the old reviews in the new casts and update commentaries along with new content. DS Life Episode 4 should be out shortly.
Stay tuned for updates.
