Why did the experiment need it's own sub board? It's only one topic.

I'm going to change the topic, because apparently I'm free to do that here.
So what other DS games do you guys have besides Metroid? I'm sure that most people here have Mario Kart, simply because it rocks, but does anyone else have anything they think is not the most popular? I have Sonic Rush and Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time, niether of which I have finished, as well as several DS launch titles that seem to have just been thrown together at the last minute to include crappy touch screen features, like the Urbz, which apparently had an identical GBA version whose only difference was a few less characters, a lack of crappy touch screen mini-games and multiplayer (a feature the DS version lacked). Don't get that game.

Hey, about Sonic Rush, have you tried Spin Boosting? And can you beat the first level in under 50 seconds? I can beat it in about 55, but I have this Sonic crazed friend... He's kind of creepy. Anyway, try to find a loop that isn't a full circle. You should come out of the ground, fly up and land on the edge of the loop, travel around (counter clockwise) and it should put you back on the ground. Wow, that's a horrible description. Anway, charge up a spindash and hit the boost button and the game will glitch until you let go. Creepy.

Chill dude, I got the Urbz too, and while I do agree that the touch screen features were a tad pathetic, the game itself did provide some boredum relief. As for other DS games, I have a ton, but one that really stands out to me, and nobody criticize me, was Nintendogs. That game was the best virtual pet game EVER. It was talking to my dogs and getting them to do miraculous tricks in front of friends and relatives that didn't know the DS had a microphone and watching their expressions as they seemed to actually respond to me.  The game wasn't one of those beat-in-a-day type of games either and it required a lot of attention to keep things running smoothly. I stopped playing after I got and raised a Dalmation and a Jack-Russell Terrier (the 2 secret breeds) and I unlocked just about everything else, so my dogs have just been sitting in their cartridge... Hungry and alone... *sniff*  ... Makes me want to start playing again. The game has so-called "Trainer's Points" that increase as your dogs progress, and a few more would've bagged me the two other games' main breeds, but sadly every 3 days you don't play you lose trainer's points, so I'm probably back down to 0 again... Sigh... Oh, and I taught my dogs to bark the Song of Storms. ;D |

You can do that? Can you make them bark the Halo theme? And yes, I have a reason to be talking and playing Halo. I just got the books and they're actually good. And I'm trying to get an Xbox.

I actually just played it and my dogs didn't hate me too much for being away! ;D It took FOREVER to get them clean and fed though, but afterwards they even still knew all their tricks and responded to my voice. I entered my JRT into a contest too, but he lost because he couldn't spin for 20 seconds... Stupid contest...

It's the dogs fault. And you trained it. So it's your fault! |

Well it's not always that easy, ML. certain commands for some reason are really easy to get mixed up with others, and if you accidently pet your dog after he gets a command mixed up he/she will continually do the wrong command unless you retrain them or somehow get them to do it right again.  For example, many of my dogs kept getting shake (the hand shaking command) mixed up with... Oh what was it... I think spin or sit. Actually, I think one mixed it up and began sitting when i told him to shake and another started spinning when I told him to shake. Anyway, so they got them so screwed up that eventually I began teaching all of my dogs to shake when I say "Paw" instead of shake, which solved some problems and created new ones, because while they didn't get the commands confused any more, the word "Paw" is fairly quick and a soft word to say, so sometimes the dog doesn't catch it at all and I have to really accentuate to get him to hear it. There was a similar case with beg, and eventually I had to accentuate the G to get my dogs to hear it, making it sound like "beGA" (as if you really put a stress on the G it will sound sorta like it also has an A). So yeah... Good game... |

My niece has that game, and when he wasn't looking I taught his dog that sit was 'die'. I still don't know if he's figured that out yet...

Wow. You are a tricky one Madness, teaching your little cousin's dog a trick called "die" that makes it sit. It's a shame that the game has person-specific voice recognition and would only recognize the command if YOU said it, as otherwise it would be hilarious to see the dog sit down during one of the many times your niece randomly yells "die" at her DS. But still, you sure did get her good.
Oh, and I hope you are aware that "niece" is a term meaning your brother or sister's daughter (you keep saying "he" and "his").

Well, technically they both share. The game was chosen by my niece, but the other guy is the one that plays it the most. And I got my own dog. I think. Not entirely sure.

I just hate games where not playing them for a long time makes bad stuff happen.
I was always annoyed at how all my planted berries died in pokemon. So now, I don't plant them (I never use my items anyway).
