Smug Holiday (vacation) B*st*rd

[keasy]

So having bought my two kids (I'm sure I've mentioned in other threads) a 3DS each I was loving playing 'Pilot Wings Resort' and also 'Zelda OoT 3D' on their machines.

Great!

Could it get much better ?

Well, yes it could actually and it did!

My wife and I took ourselves and the two kids on holiday to a family orientated hotel in Can'Picafort Majorca in the Spanish Balearic islands.
As it was a family targeted hotel there was inevitably a multitude of kids all sitting at night during the Bingo and entertainment playing their DS's whilst the adults got on with what we do best on holiday, relaxing and forgetting the pressures of every day normal life. The majority of kids with DS's I noticed had DSLites and many had DSi's and a few had XL's. Well, I have to admit, I never noticed any other kids with 3DS's and it made me feel like a right smug get.

I felt proud of my uber elite kids and their ultra modern hand-held consoles LOL

TBH when they were sat at night in the outdoor bar area whilst me and my wife enjoyed a game of Bingo the interest from other kids passing by our table was immense. We would often have our attention grabbed by the sounds of 'oooo' and 'ahhhs' as passing kids noticed there was other kids (mines *smug*) with 3DS's. They all couldn't wait to see them. Many were disappointed as most of the time it was Pokemon B&W variants my kids were playing. But none the less the 3DS's stil lcreated a buzz.

Now that all sounds petty and silly doesn't it ?

You're right it is. I'm such a sado.
But that's not the icing on the cake.

The icing on the cake was double frosted and chocolate dusted when compared to the following......

The hotel reception had free wireless net access.
Brilliant!
I sat and browsed the net for all my usual haunts on the 3DS's and kept up to date with my own forums, email etc. Why would this make me smug you may ask ? (apart from the fact I'm an obvious big head).
Because I couldn't help but smirk at the gangs of iPad users sitting browsing at the same time and simply not having any richer a net experience as me with their non flash capability !
Hehe, I couldn't help but feel smug and glad I got the 3DS's

Yeah I know, WTF ? I'm pissed but there you go, a little alternative positive side to owning a 3DS's !

I hope you know that the 3DS doesn't support flash.

I read this and LULED so hard I almost fell out of my chair! Also I love how he hasn't responded yet and how much of an IDIOT you make him look like! Who's smug now huh?

Also can a mod or something PLEASE move this to the BLOGS section? It's not IMPORTANT enough to be in 3DS - Games & Content.

You're an idiot.

The iPad is a FAR better piece of technology for surfing the web than the 3DS with it's crappy web browser.

The iPad has frash to enable flash games, and has an official youtube app (not to mention the Skyfire browser allows viewing of flash video right there in the browser).

Have fun with your non-flash capability! (yeah, notice there isn't supposed to be a space between the final word of the sentence and the exclamation point?)

This +1 just to show him our point.

Anyway, I didn't see any idiocy, other than the lack of flash, the browser for the 3DS is pretty good.

Also leeday, +1 doesn't help present a point any more than it already has been.

Of course you didn't.

I'm glad you understand.

How wonderful to see everyone being so nice to each other.

Though I must concur with the notion of moving this to "blogs"

Wha!? What are you doing out of EoF? Doesn't the light of the outside hurt?

The EoF has nothing new

so I decided to see what wonder held beyond it.

Or something to that degree

Absolutely PMSFL at the tw@s that are calling me an idiot when I simply stated iPad users had not so much more a rich experience.

Where the f*ck did I even say the 3DS browser supports flash and I had a richer experience? :/

For the practically illiterate unable to decipher or comprehend plain English without idiotically filling in gaps that just aren't there, majority posts above allow me to spell it out for you....

I could easily catch up on the everyday web content I needed without needing Flash.


Point being I enjoyed the 3DS FFS!

Twats.

After you're mega ironic post...me.

Actually, I also disagree.

Posting an experience of CONTENT that a 3DS offers is comprehensively relevant to the board.

So those kids thought your kids 3DS's were cool huh?
Well for me its the same old story. I think everyone should also chill out bro.

Don't worry, you do that all by yourself.

 

[keasy]

Yup.
Real cool they thought it was. I didn't reply to them direct though Bro.

Anyhoo, when did it become such a fecking crime to share an experience in an obvious light hearted manner ?

Meh, I'll leave the haters to negate and move on.

This sounds less smug, and more in the realm of total douche baggery. I mean, some iDevice owners get kind of bad, but I would have wanted to kick the crap out of you for trying to be smug while holding a $250 device marketed towards children and young teens.

I figure, if we're gonna be insulting here, I'll join in the fun.

Oh yeah, inb4lock.

Nice try mate. You aren't getting off that easily. Go back and actually read what you typed like the rest of us did. You made yourself look like a complete moron (and are continuing to do so, unfortunately).

It's nice to see a postive topic about the 3DS for once. I'm happy with my purchase, but don't carry it openly in public, so I haven't garnered reaction from it yet. As with all technology, there's always appeal in the newest version, so I could see how those kids wanted to check it out.

It's great how a parent can benefit, and enjoy something that was purchased for their kids. It makes the investment worth it when everyone can get some enjoyment out of it. The original post was clearly written, so I don't see how people confused the bit about flash. Too many haters lately.
