DS Fanboy Lite: Nov. 3 - Nov. 9

Just as with our beloved DS Lite, DS Fanboy Lite is like the original, but smaller. Sleeker. Only not necessarily better. Herein you can see some of the best we've had to offer in the last week, encapsulated for your reading ease.

  How'd you get started with the DS? What keeps you playing?

  Clearly, women like shoes. Also, the DS.

  It's awful! Except not at all.
• 'They don't call me Gina Vasquez for nothing!'
  The first in an epic saga.

  The saga continues.
• Spanish For Everyone: The Saga Concludes with very little Spanish
  And one of the devs says "all the story was intentional." Oh my.

  Somewhat less awesome than either Phantom Hourglass or a backrub.
