"Nintendo has just released a new Iwata Asks feature about the Nintendo 3DS.  In this article Iwata and crew refer to the Nintendo 3DS’s control stick as the Circle Pad.  Previously at E3 2010 Nintendo was calling this input device the Slide Pad.  Personally I feel that calling it the Slide Pad sounds much cooler but is would seem that everyone better get used to the new name."

So it's not a Nub.

It's a fucking nipple.

It has been pretty silent around here these days.

I'm a tiny bit drunk but I believe I just read that Nintendo's 3DS press-event is going on in Japan tonight.

You would not believe how many times it took me to type that.

That too.

Drunk Leo! Drunk Leo!

Cue REM's "End of the World"

EA CEO:

"At the end of [2011], the digital business is bigger than the packaged goods business, full stop. No questions in my mind. Then, you know, I think that we’ll find ways to even sell our packaged goods content in chunks and in pieces and subscriptions and micro-transactions," he told IndustryGamers in a recent interview."

If you mean the first one, then yes. Afterwards, the franchise got run into the ground without even having the satisfaction of ever being a big seller.

the first one is the best and part 2 wasn't bad i haven't played the 360 or psp ones but i got the katamari forever today and it feels a like the first one just a bit harder

I miss Katamari.  I played the 360 demo and it brought so many good memories of playing those on the PS2.

3DS battery life clocks in at between 3 and 5 hours

So, the 3DS becomes the PSP.

The only silver lining I can offer is that going by this, the PSP2 is likely to have a battery life of 45 minutes to an hour and a half.
