I'm a lucky bastard!

Yesterday, while I was at work, I got a text message from my wife (Ducki) saying she'd been out and bought some things, including a small present for me. By "small" I assumed it would be, say, a box of chocolates or a book. When I got home she showed me: A fecking DS Lite! I did one of those oh-so clichÃ©d double takes like they do in the movies.

Totally unexpected and utterly fantastic, for the first few minutes words utterly failed me and all I could do was hug her.

She'd even got me three games (one of which was a bundle of 10 retro Atari games) to get started with, so I spent most of last night playing Centipede and Bomberman. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy Bomberman, even if I am crap at it

I have now ordered Animal Crossing - Wild World and it should ship before the end of the month.

Will visit some villages when it arrives.

/me is a happy Lowey.

Wow, she must be on one hell of a guilt trip!
Sorry, only joking, I'm just jealous

So... game suggestions? I like the look of Elektroplankton. Anyone got it, is it as weirdly good as it sounds?

Elektroplankton is ace, well woth buying a copy. It's pretty different from most of the stuff out there.

For 3rd time in the same month I'm going to scream Meteos and Kirby Canvas!

Games I have atm: Atari Retro Classics, Cars (as in the game of the film) and Bomberman DS. Animal Crossing ordered and on its way. Seriously considering getting Elektroplankton next.

Second time in a month for me- Trauma Center! If you don't have it you're DS will never be fulfilled.

Congratulations, by the way, that's a great thing to come home to. The DS is nice, but a wife who'll surprise you with one is priceless.

That Trauma Centre looks very macabre, but will check it out.

Aye, I've been having a crap time at work lately so she thought she'd surprise me with a new toy.

The "I'm a lucky bastard" is meant as "...to have a wife like this" rather than "because I've got a DS Lite"

Not many blokes can say their wives randomly surprise them like this.

Of course, now you must reciprocate and buy her a DS
