My 3ds AC adapter broke, it doesn't work anymore. How does that happen?

Stop charging your 3DS in shady motels with bad electric installations.

I dont have a choice.

BTW I never told you guys I ended up snagging one of those $150 3DS XL at Target this Black Frigay, it'll be one of my daughter's christmas presents, but I'll hop in from time to time to do online stuffs because I'm also going to gift her Animal Crossing.

Cool hope you play it and friend me. I think this time your wife and kids shouldn't friend me as my animals all have greetings and catchphrases like "balls deep" and "Assman."

There is a massive difference between US mobile gamers and handheld gamers. No one buys a phone for games, people buy handheld for games. Takes a totally different type of person to buy a handheld.

I love how the name of the Scribblenauts comic book is "Crisis of Imagination".  Fitting.

Bah! Wtf is this? The first Splinter Cell was the best and they've gotten progressively worse.  Wtf is this shit? B as the cover button? Wonky crouching movement, aim and press button to do a Gears style roadie run to cover?  You can barely make out enemies in the opening area and they haven't activated the upad features yet so I can't even use the map. Even on the games max brightness it's too dark on the tv, better offscreen. Some low res textures unfortunately but runs smoothly and looks nice. No framerate problems or screen tearing like other versions.

I don't think I ever played a Splinter Cell game. I rented Chaos Theory a while back, but didn't play it for long.

That was the best one.

1. Chaos Theory
2. Splinter Cell 1
3. Pandora Tomorrow
4. Double Agent (original Xbox)
5. Double Agent (Xbox 360)
6. Conviction

I haven't played Blacklist yet. Double Agent on original xbox is a much different and better game than the 360 version.....but the 360 version has some cool moments.

Can you play SC on Upad, GG?

Yes and it looks quite good and brighter too.

Chaos Theory only had 2 good levels, it was very solid though. Pandora Tommorow was twitchy, the AI was inconsistent. I didn't like 360 double agent, Conviction was okay, pretty decent but not as satisfying. For me the first is still the right balance.

This game, they haven't opened up the upad use so I hope there is some Deus Ex style realtime radar there. And the visors haven't been given to me yet. The intro section is horrible. Instead of moving between cover by creeping you aim the second stick at a cover point, hit A and Sam does some massive auto run and lurch towards it. It doesn't feel natural like in Deus Ex, it's like a massive rubber band.

Also you need to press a face button to stick to cover, which means releasing camera control. DF were right too, the PS3 and U versions use low res textures, 360 has a mandatory install for higher res textures. Bit annoying when U can do higher res without an install. But there has been zero screen tearing here and no cutscene slowdown so far either. If the U features are good it may get better. But the cover system..... ugh.
