Today I was browsing around and visiting some old sites, to find out that one of the sites I had shopped at had actually shut down September of 2007. What caught my eye though, was a message posted on the site only a few days ago:

Coming Soon!!
A new and improved ModMyDS.com - with product reviews, a forum for discussion, and contests to win DS-related prizes! Check back soon!
-ModMyDS.com (1/15/08)

Interesting.. so they shut down operations and are launching it as a review site. It was a great site to shop at with a friendly atmosphere, so hopefully the same team behind that site is running this new one. Only time will tell, and I can feel a good vibe coming from this!

The Nyko Wii Charge Station is probably one of the best accessories you can pick up for your Wii. Especially if you play your Wii a lot. It takes about 3-4 hours to charge the battery to full charge (from the time its completely dead). The only thing I noticed is that the specifications don’t really state how long the battery life is. So, I decided to do a few test runs and have found that the average lifespan of the battery while playing strictly Super Mario Galaxy is 17 hours and 24 minutes. In my opinion, that’s really good, considering that SMG uses not only the Nunchuck accessory, but also uses the pointer feature of the Wii remote, which drains a lot more power in combination with the nunchuck. Without the nunchuck accessory (and pointing), while playing Excite Truck, the battery life lasted about 50 hours. Not bad at all! Definitely worth a purchase, as it pays for itself after only a few charge cycles.

First of all, a happy belated new year to all! I would have posted earlier but I didn’t have anything to write about… and still don’t to be honest :). This is an extremely late post, at 3:50AM, but I’m not really too tired. College starts back up on Monday so I’m not sure how that will affect my posting.. it will probably stay the same but you never know I may post a little bit more. I’m hoping that this semester will be more successful for me socially then the past few ones have been, and hope that my grades aren’t affected by it (unless its for the better!!). Alright, that’s it for now.. nothing too major but enough to hold me over until next time.
