I picked up Mega Man ZX and a sweet new DS Lite in Onyx yesterday. I almost didn't buy it since I have a DS already, but I'm glad I did. It is a lot easier to hold for long periods of time as there are no side bits jabbing in to your palms. It also looks great and makes the games look great. I've had a bit of a gaming lull recently, but this is sure to change things. If you don't have a DS or have one but play it a lot, I definitely recommend getting a Lite. More photos here.

Anyways, on to other stuff. So, apparently the world is more stupid than I though. E3 has been canceled permanently and instead of a giant Comic-Con like event it'll now be a series of press conferences. This isn't really that big a deal to me since it was only open to the press anyways. The dumb part is they've gone and named it the E3Expo. E3 stands for Electronic Entertainment Expo. What kind of a name is Electronic Entertainment Expo Expo? Who is the idiot who came up with that?!? Nintendo probably wont even have that big of a presence anymore, with this giant event gone they'll probably focus ...
