Versus22's Nintendo DS line-up - May 2009

Well, another month has come by after an exciting month of games. I ended up buying 10 Nintendo DS games during the month of April after a long decision of if I should get the Nintendo DSi or not in that month. It turned out that I didn't since I didn't really have a great collection, but now I'm getting there!

Anyways, here are the games I'm about to get in May:
  • Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker
  • Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates
  • Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword
  • Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood
  • Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume

Wikipedia Life (part 1)

Man I'm in a tough position right now on Wikipedia. Just accepted an Request for Adminship by Dylan620, and received comments like this:
I've been reviewing your edits for about an hour now... and can't support---even with my more liberal view on adminship. You made over 17K edits last month alone---this shows an over reliance upon tools. There is very little of Versus22 in any of your edits. I can't find too much in the way of legitimate discussions---it's all done via various templates. You indicate that you want to work with CSD, and area where I have a lot of concern, yet you have minimal experience there---in your last 500 deleted edits probably less than 30 are where you are requesting CSD and most of those are when the author has blanked the page. So how about your participation at AFD? In your last 1000 edits to the Wikipedia space, I'd guess that 750 of them are simply to report somebody to AIV. About 100 of them are to AFD's. Of those, I counted 6 keeps. That's roughly 94% delete, and 6% keep? So what about your article work? There is none. What about policy discussion? I couldn't find any. Sorry. Also when 2/3rds of the edits to your talk page are either vandalism or reversions of vandalism, it sends up a huge red flag---and while it may be unfair, you didn't answer question 3, I have to conclude that the reason you didn't answer question 3 is the result of repeated and ongoing vandalism... which should have been a deterent to running right now. If you are currently be targetted on your own talk page to the extent that it is, you had to have some incling that those who were targetting you, might come here to be disruptive as well? ---I'm Spartacus!

And this...
I'm sorry, you do great work with vandal-fighting and other areas, but I'm still concerned about your temperament. In mid-March I had to warn you against using edit summaries that attacked Grawp, and you cited frustration. As an admin, you'll be dealing with some far more frustrating issues, and losing your cool in those situations won't be helpful to you or others. Retiring and unretiring so recently also strengthens my concern about temperament. ---PeterSymonds

Well in reply to all of this, I have to agree with PeterSymonds with this, but... his concern with my recent retiring and unretiring issues? Perhaps, I should have stopped being at Wikipedia, instead of making up my mind of continuing and not continuing at the wiki. This is one of the big reasons why I possibly have lost the RfA if it went seven days, and I'm not very good at article work since I can only do stuff in simple English pretty much (which is why I work a bit more on articles at the Simple English Wikipedia).

However, now the big question is: "Should I continue editing at the English Wikipedia, or should my era there truly come to an end? Post your comments below.

Note: Part 2 will come in the future, watch this section.

Versus22's Backloggery, DS games

***UPDATED AT 1:54 AM PST: APRIL 20, 2009***

Okay, okay... I'm sorry for not telling all of you this earlier, but I also post updates at the backloggery. The backloggery is a place where you can post all of your video game collections to let other people know what games you have. It also allows you to post wishlist of future game you would want to buy, and post game info of where you are at. Often at the BL, there is live media of users playing video games, which is what I really like.

Right now, I'm focusing on the Nintendo DS (You know the #1 selling handheld right now!), and a lot of the games are very interesting. I currently have 17+ DS games right now, and planning to get more soon!

I do have plans to get the new DSi late in the year, or early next year. Stay tuned! :)

Welcome to my blog!

Hi everyone, and welcome to my blog! Some of you may recognize me from the English Wikipedia, which is a wiki where I help out the online encyclopedia by creating articles, and on the Homebrew wikis (WiiBrew and DSiBrew). In other places you may know me through forum sites at The Virtual Console Forums and at OverClocked ReMix.

I hope you enjoy spending time here at my blog! :)
