1:49PM Nick Broughall | God knows what Nintendo’s marketing strategy is. My guess is that it involves picking a group that couldn’t give a rat’s ass about gaming, and then try and get them to buy their stuff. I guess it works for them, but it really does seem weird.

10:40AM Nick Broughall | It’s official: I have absolutely no understanding of the youth of today. I’ve become an old man (and I’m not yet 30). Here I was thinking that the DSi was going to stumble alongside its cheaper DS Lite brethren, but instead it’s flourished. Flourished.
