I admit it. I’m an early adopter. I bought the Nintendo DSi XL today. I originally had ruled it out since it didn’t have increased resolution or any other new features. However I changed my mind when a kindly GameStop sales guy asked me if I wanted to pre-order one a few weeks ago. Fast …

I read The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You’ll Ever Need yesterday.
