DS Survives Everest

[Teuthida]

We totally had so much electronic equipment, and I’d say the Nintendo DS held up the best of any of it…

We were using a CB radio to stay in touch and that would consistently go bad… then we’d bring it back to life…

It was because of the wind and the cold, we had a Dell computer that got fried, a Polytechnic screen that went out… we had three of the four MP3 players go bad….but the Nintendo DS units keep hanging in there…

And it was the Nintendo DS units that suffered the worst of it - they were constantly with us in our tents which were moist and cold… the were right there in our packs so they suffered a lot of wind blasts, they were dropped…

And the Sherpas would beat the (heck) out of them - they’d play with them in the kitchen where curry would get split on them, all these incredibly hot spices… and they kept on performing…

Believe me, if they went through the stuff that they went through (making the way up to Everest), I can guarantee a five-year-old can spill jelly on them and they’ll still survive… (vs. PSP)

If by that, you mean not at all.


Then yes.



Very interesting.

Yes, I could give 2 sh*ts less about this :rolleyes:

But the burning question of the hour is: what games were they playing? They couldn't just be playing Madden. Bleh.

[DarrenMcLeod]

That's quite a feat. I expected the DS to do well, but I'm still happy to hear it.

[DarkMaster]

And it's a good thing too, because I was planning an Everest climb in the next few days.

[Canyarion]

Yeah DM that's what I was thinking. But not really. Not really thinking that. Not exactly...

It thought it was pretty cool to read. :D

There are two creatures that will survive the nuclear holocaust: roaches and Nintendo portables.


/me shrugs and walks away

[Dark Samurai]

That was a funny read...

[Jason1]

Nintendo should use that in some sort of marketing campaign.

[MuGen]
