I’m playing Starfox Command this week, only on WiFi. Whenever I try to continue with the story, I get too frusted with the missle you have to speed up to destroy and give up. Starfox is an extremely fun game for the DS. The story mode is fun until you get to the 4th planet! The WiFi battles are fun, but the only way to rasie your rank is to play the Battle games with 3 other players and you need all 3 to play. The Induvidual games are just little schrimages, 2, 3, and 4 player battles are the only ones in induvidual. If you don’t have it, get it!
Also on a side note, if you have the chunky DS, keep it. Mine got run over by a car, smashed, dropped, and completely exposed to liquid and still works. My friend’s DS lite was dropped from about 5 feet and it didn’t turn on. The chunky DS isn’t as sexy, but it is a lot more durable.
The Mactendo friend code is 279 335 894 623 for it you want to play us on WiFi… even though trying to win would be a pretty futile effort 
Leave your friend code in the comments if you’re up for a game.

ShapeShifter and Mighty Mouse are now Universal Binaries!:
This is great news for anyone who’s into making their Mac look like a glowing blue demon spawn, or Star Wars, or Windows… and everything else you can do with these 2 awesome apps. ShapeShifter is a GUI messer upper that allows you to change the look of Mac OS X, and Mighty Mouse is a cursor app without spyware!!! Take that, CometCursor! Take it up the ass!
These two “essential” apps are finally out of universal beta and officially released in universal binary, so if you have money and are into that sort of customization (boy I miss OS 9’s themes), then I recommend stopping on by and downloading then buying some applications.
Next up for me? A mini-review of the recently released SketchFighter Alpha 4000 by Ambrosia Software, iTunes Freebie of the Week, and some news posts… for a change!

“Every Monday starting Dec. 4, Nintendo will add classic games to the popular new Wii� video game console’s Wii Shop Channel. Four games will be added at
9 a.m. Pacific time on Dec. 4. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet Connection can redeem Wii Points to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week’s are: Donkey
Kong Jr.� (Super NES�, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): Based on the popular arcade game, Donkey Kong Jr. is the sequel to the immensely successful Donkey Kong�.

different worlds filled with numerous climbing and jumping puzzles await in this timeless classic. Victory Run� (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, 600 Wii Points): Victory Run is a rally racing game, made up of eight different stages set in different countries from Paris to Dakar. Players can race across highways, deserts, savannahs and coastlines. In order to advance to the next stage, players must dodge traffic and cross the finish line within the time limit. Players can upgrade their
race car with such parts as tires, gears, engines, suspensions and brakes. Driving on rough courses and hitting obstacles will cause damage to individual parts, so making repairs is critical. Choosing the right setup of parts may be the difference between winning and not finishing the race at all. So go out there and prove to the world that you have what it takes to take raise the gold cup in Victory Run! Columns� (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): Players test their
hand at the ancient Phoenician game of Columns. Multicolored gems drop from the top of the screen into a pit. It is up to players to quickly arrange the order of the jewels into lines of three or more as they fall. If gems pile up and reach the top, the game is over. Ristar� (Sega Genesis, 1 player, 800 Wii Points): Greedy, an evil space pirate, has corrupted the kings of the Valdi System’s seven planets and enslaved the people who live there. The plea for a hero is answered
by Ristar, who uses his amazing extendable arms and courage to save Valdi from Greedy.”
I can’t wait!

As you can see, very organized.
Clean lines (outside of Club Sega, of all places… poor, poor, poor little Dreamcast… they’d have their own next-gen console launch right about now, to boot…)
Still clean…
No violence… and it’s STILL CLEAN!
No blood… and yes, it’s still civil and squeaky clean… how the Hell did they do this?!?!
No escaped racists, either. AND LOOK AT HOW CLEAN AND ORGANIZED THAT LINE IS!
And as of yet, NO GUNS! I think we all should thank the good folks over at Nintendo of Japan for the CLEANEST AND MOST ORGANIZED CONSOLE LAUNCH 3V@4!
