I decided to buy the Retro Duo system, I guess you could call it a console. Anyways I bought as a Christmas present to myself. So now I can play some of my old Nintendo and Super Nintendo Games. Though I only have two SNES games left after I traded them in along with my Nintendo 64 at my old Pawn Shop a few years ago for a PlayStation 2.

I love being able to play all the old games, and I seem to have become somewhat of a video game collector. Sort of a new hobby, my first video game console was the Atari 2600 in 1988. A year later I got the Nintendo Entertainment System for Christmas.

The Retro Duo works like it should and I have enjoyed the games I own as well as a couple of new ones which I have purchased in the past couple of weeks. There are several systems like the Retro Duo; the FC Twin is one such system However since I don’t own one I can’t say much about it.

If you have the Retro Duo or a system like it, how does it work? Are you happy with it or do you think it was a waste?

A tool is any object that helps you out, any thing that helps in a manual operation. The computer for instance can be considered a tool. Tool is also a noun since it is a thing. I do not consider people to be tools as a tool to me must be man made. Animals also use tools. You could use tool in a sentence such as; “The computer is a great ‘tool’!” or “What ‘tool’ do you use to push a nail in?”

The Sims 3 is an application for the iPhone and iPod Touch. A very different game than it’s PC/Mac counterpart, The Sims 3 app is ok in my taste. I preferably like to play the game on my PC, but it is nice to have a playable version on my iPod Touch.

The game is more than likely similar to the ones played on the DSi, and PSP. Loading isn’t bad, and the game itself plays pretty good. This is hard for me to actually explain, you would have to play for yourself to understand. One thing is the odd jobs you have to do, some of which make no sense to me. The amount of money you make is not really helpful in the beginning, but in reality sometimes you have to struggle a little to succeed.

I’ve played for a couple of months now, off and on that is. Lately I’ve just kept it on my iPod Touch and haven’t really played it.

The Sims 3 goes for $6.99 in the iTunes App Store. It’s hard for me to recommend this game, but if you’re a hardcore fan of the Sims series go for it.

The count down is over 2010 is now upon us, and I want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year. I hope that this year brings a lot of happiness to many struggling families. I normally don’t do this but to a special friend of mine I want  her and her family  to have a Happy New Year.

This is the first new year that I will be with family, or in family’s reach I should say. Here’s to family, friends, and life. Happy New Year, and keep to those resolutions! :)
