    These are the first steps. It's quite cool. I actually saw this about a week ago somewhere, but at that time the person could just get crud on the screen (just stuff to prove that it was working) and wasn't an actual game yet.

    Still this is very cool. When someone figures out how to get thing on through the wireless (since the DS is designed to be able to boot stuff that way) the scene will probably explode.

    Today sex and blood is all kids want, no wonder that the society slowly turns into a sociopathic dystopia.

    It's the children's fault! Their carnal urges and hormones is ripping the very fabric of society. People would never learn to torture prisoners or "pop the coochie" without the evils of modern video games.

    If only the world were simple like tetris, where blocks fall from the sky and no one has a penis.

    Woe! Oh WOE is the world of Street Fighter II. If it weren't for such gastly abominations we might live in a crimeless world where all the restaurants are Taco Bell and every curse word is fined! CRAZY VIDEO GAME NINJA SKILLS, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?!?!?
