"95% of this game is half mental."
Yogi Berra
That quote pretty much sums it all up. We're not sure how, but the math and the language arts are both fantastic. Plus, our love of gaming is old like Frogger and new like Rock Band. And we totally don't understand it at all.
But we do know this,
Tuesday, July 8th is Video Games Day. (Of course it is. You have all your decorations up right?) And we are celebrating all week long with the
Kirtsy Hearts Video Games Week! FTW! We're in ur base, killing ur d00dz. W00t! Etc.
"The score never interested me, only the game."
Mae West

FreeRice
Gabrielle (according to Ben Blair):
High School Musical: Sing It! for the Wii.
It's true that we each have our own complex and sordid relationships with gaming. Do we love it? Do we get it? Can we do it? Wait, what are we talking about here. Oh yeah, video games.
Lately, we've kinda been getting into them more than ever. Because companies are getting cooler and smarter, and so are the games. So we're thinking. And
Nintendo's thinking. And this week, we're joining together to give away
FOUR Nintendo DS Lite systems! That's right. Four winners! And each will receive $150 in prizes:
A PINK Nintendo DS! (Have you seen these things. They are the best! I keep mine in my purse for queues, train rides and other freak moments of boredom.)
And a Brain Age 2 game! (This will either make you feel really smart, or really challenged, or really sleepy. Either way, you're a winner.)
Honestly, we could go on and on about how much we love these Nintendo DS jobbies. They're pretty much the greatest. And we're really digging
Nintendo right about now. So join us!
Celebrate your love of gaming this week. And leave a comment
here or
here telling us your favorite game (Scrabble and Go Fish and Burger Time all totally count) to be registered to win these incredible prizes from super cool
Nintendo. You have from now until
Saturday, July 12th at 11:59 pm EDT. And seriously, we hope you win. We can't think of a better way to celebrate Kirtsy Hearts Video Games Week!
Love the playah, love the game.
