Over at one of my other sites, the one dedicated to the Nintendo DS platform, I've released the first of many video podcasts called The DS Show. It started due to the lack of dedicated Nintendo DS video podcasts, I thought I'd step up and bring what I have to the table.



Trailers, New Products and Game Reviews from the comfort of your lounge room. This is what we hope to achieve with this site.




So, to kick things off, here's our first episode of The DS Show - featuring a review of Hotel Dusk: Room 215.

What a day it was. Being from QLD, we were able to weather the very hot Sydney day as the humidity wasn't like anything we have up here. However, that didn't stop a few Sydney goers dropping from the heat. And would you believe, an event of this size, there was no St Johns Ambulance tent ? In fact, the organizers put on a rather disappointing event, logistics wise. There were only 2 places to get water / food and we had to cue up for over an hour to get something to drink. Add the 30+ minutes cue time to get in and the over an hour at the merchandising store, you'd think all we did all day was form cues.


Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the Teutuls, except from their balcony. We got to see Poole and the hard-working wire-god Vinnie. We still enjoyed ourselves, I was happy to see the Comanche Chopper, however, after being their since 12pm, we left around 6pm when it started to rain as we were advised that 104km winds were on their way.

The article goes on to say "BigPond is internet for dummies an no-one in their right mind would sign up with BigPond if they had an alternative. So why do people pay good money for this junk? Because they're stupid and they don't know any better.



If the government wants to fix broadband in this country, it should start by protecting people against ISPs selling such crap."

According to Reuters, the "ads, which cost $85,000 per second during this year's game, fumbled overall as they failed to connect with viewers or just scared them, according to researchers who tracked people's brain activity."
