The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

Geeky, but not in a good way

Girl Gamer magazineNintendo was founded in 1889, which may or may not have something to do with this British magazine of theirs, which apparently is stuck somewhere in 1959. "Learn to cook on your DS"? Well, okay, I suppose you could — you can learn just about anything not involving personal relationships with a DS — but I suspect recipe-shuffling is a low priority for any female willing to call herself a Girl Gamer. And while you can certainly order a DS Lite (smaller than the average DS) in Coral Pink, I find it hard to believe that anyone actually would. (Despite my serious lack of belief, Trini informs me that someone she knows actually has such a thing.) Bonus minus (!) points for the "Wii Will Rock You" shtick. Says the guy at VG Cats: "That's what you girls do, right? I heard they're voting now ... scandalous." Indeed.

My seven-year-old girl has a coral pink DS Lite, which makes it easy to distinguish from the 11-year-old boy's white DS Lite with aftermarket blue flame decals.
