    1. Well, I started with Nintendo handhelds in '89 with the Gameboy and played the living heck of that, but over the years moved to primarily TV-based consoles. Recently though, in my old age, I picked up some of the portables I never had and have a reshelled DS and a Hyrule 3DS XL. The 3DS is right behind my PS5 as favorite system of all time, mainly since it’s hacked and I can run all the games of my youth from all systems.

    2. It’s certainly due to when I was most active in gaming as a kid but any Mario sidescroller will forever live in my heart. Pick a flavor, any system, if it has a plumber and he runs and jumps, it’s my favorite

    3. I don’t really have any niche games on the DS systems these days, but if you want something really silly and esoteric, grab Penguin Wars for the Gameboy. It’s one-dimensionally terrible, annoying and utterly delightful.

    It’s tough for a newb to figure out all the potential combos of options, but yes that is an utterly excellent pocket light. The aluminum one is probably the best for EDC, with lighter weight and generally better thermal handling. The boost driver is a must, if you intend to use it regularly and not just have it be a show-off light.

    I’m excited, not so much for this product (since it’s clearly for developers, business or the rich only) but what v3 will be like. The focus on AR is smart IMO, and the performance and fidelity I’ve heard from every reviewer is very encouraging. As someone that works on computers all day everyday (and has for 35 years) the possibility of getting rid of monitors and being able to use any space to work is interesting. I’m getting too old to sit at a desk all day. 😄
