The prestigious Nintendo DS Lite maybe small to the eye, but don’t let that fool you. This little gem of a games machine has certainly rattled the cages of Microsoft and Sony with its record breaking sales. Sony’s PlayStation 2 record was literally smashed in December 2008 as the Nintendo DS Lite racked up over a cool 3 million sales!

Because of its popularity, herds of buyers have clambered over each other to find a great bargain and buy a Nintendo DS. It popularity with young children has certainly helped increase its sales. Admittedly is does help to keep them quiet on long car journeys and any other times they have to sit around and wait. Their Nintendo DSs are an essential survival item that’s usually first to get packed into their school bags! I have even seen homework being left out of the bag as the need to get the DS packed had been priority!

The Nintendo DS seems to have all the right things. A Small compact hand held design that folds away nicely into a child’s pocket! The console comes equipped with two LCD quality screens albeit a little smaller. The top screen is the main viewing screen whilst the bottom screen serves as a touch screen. One of its great features is its sensitive touch screen. This feature really enhances the playing experience by bringing touch and finesse to the player, something that other consoles don’t really have.

Want another great feature? Oh right ok! How about Social interaction? Yes you heard that right. With its built in wireless technology, friends can play and compete against each other. Of course the other party needs to have a Nintendo DS! Well what about my Game Boy Advanced games? I hear you say. You will be pleased to know that the DS also offers a slot to incorporate your Game Boy games. With the DS Lite being the smallest of Nintendo’s consoles and it still maintaining backward compatibility with Game Boy games, it’s really difficult to see why you shouldn’t buy it!

Among other things, the Nintendo DS’s stylus is longer and stronger than its predecessors. The console houses a handy little home for its stylus to keep it safe especially during its travels. With a battery that last for up to 18 hours and a LED status warning lights you can begin to see that this console really rocks!

Don’t let the small size of the Nintendo DS Lite fool you. Since it’s release in 2006 the Nintendo DS Lite and its older brother, the Nintendo DS, have broken sales records that would make even their big competitors from Sony and Microsoft jealous. In fact, 3 million units flew off the shelves in the month of December 2008 breaking a record previously held by the Sony Playstation 2.

The Nintendo DS Lite is so popular that many people are clamoring to purchase a unit and for the cheapest price they can afford. One of the reasons the Nintendo DS is so popular is because kids can take the console wherever they need to go. So while their parents are driving them all over town on errands the kids are happily occupied playing their Nintendo DS Lite.

The Nintedo DS Lite is unlike any other hand-held video game unit created before and features a design that folds in your hand. There are dual color screens on each half of the console that look as good and bright as a LCD television screen (but just a little smaller!). The screens are sensitive to touch and this creates a gaming experience unlike any other handheld game console. The brightness of the screens can be adjusted to save battery life or to allow for game play in different lighting conditions.

Another great feature of the Nintendo DS is the ability to play games with your friends using the built-in wireless Wifi technology. As long as your friend also has a Nintendo DS you can play against each other even if they live on the other side of the world. But even if they live across the street that’s OK too. The Nintendo DS also has a separate slot for Game Boy Advance Games. So you don’t need to get rid of any of your old Game Boy games. The Nintendo DS Lite is also much smaller and compact than the original Nintendo DS.

The stylus which comes with the Nintendo DS Lite is longer and thicker than the previous Nintendo DS version. There also is a handy storage slot for the stylus so you don’t lose it. The battery lasts for about 19 hours on one charge and the LED lights will indicate whether or not you need to connect the charger.

Priests are known to be very capable healers in WoW. However, priests can be good damage dealers too. When you want to make a Priest character you will be able to choose between a certain amount of races. If you role horde the choice of races when it comes to the Priest class will fall on Trolls, Undead and Blood Elves. On the Alliance side you can pick either a Dwarf, Human, Draenei or Night Elf priest. Depending on the race you choose you will have different passive abilities but the choice will surely depend on you and your game play.

Priests are spell casters and whether they are healers damage dealers that need mana in order to cast these spells they will need a good amount of spirit which will make their mana recover a lot faster, intellect which provides the priest with more mana and spell power which makes their spells more efficient. When it comes to talent trees, priests have tree different talent trees to choose from depending on their game play – Holy, Discipline and Shadow.

The  Holy talent tree is used for players that want to heal in PvE scenarios. As a Holy priest you will have different types of spells to choose from, like Renew which is a typical HoT (Heal Over Time) spell, Prayer of Mending which is an instant protective and healing spell, Prayer of Healing which heals the whole party, Circle of Healing which is a typical AoE healing spell and of course, Flash and Greater heals. Shadow is the talent tree that gives the priest the ability to take on a Shadow Form and dish out a lot of damage.

Shadow Priests have several damage over time spells like Devouring Plague and Shadow Word Pain which are very effective.Some of the spells the Shadow talent tree will provide the priest with make the priest a valuable team member for every group and raid because they restore mana and hitpoints to fellow players. Priests who are more into the PvP game play will definitely choose the Discipline tree. Because the discipline tree makes the priest a tough cookie with damage absorbing talents and nice new spells, it’s a nice choice.

riests have some of the strongest buffs in the game namely their Stamina, Spirit and Shadow Protection buff. Besides these buffs they can resurrect others, dispel diseases and magic effects, shackle undead NPCs, fear others, burn other’s mana and more. Threat plays an important role in WoW and luckily the Priests can fade when they get a bit too much agro to reduce their threat.

Priests can only wear cloth armor. Priests have a lot of mana and do not have a lot of hitpoints because they are not meant to take a lot of hits. If a Priest chooses to become Shadow, he will need to have a certain stats on his gear. A Priest needs to have a lot of spell power, spirit, intellect, hit rating and critical strike rating.

Healing priests should aim for the same stats but they can leave out the hit rating and take haste rating instead. Leveling a priest could go a bit slower in the beginning and it is advisable to level a priest as a Shadow. Once you reach the talen Shadow form at level 40 things will go a lot faster for you though and once you reach level 80 you will be surprised about how many people whisper you asking you to join their group.

Games are becoming available every day and I am sure the games won’t die out like some game stations. As more consoles are sold, more games and better games are being developed for Wii. So the best game makers gravitate to the consoles that seem to specialize in the kinds of games they like.

With the invention of the Wii gaming system, games have become far more interactive than ever before. The video game giant Nintendo has made the Wii to target a broader demographic than other competitors video games but can also compete them.

The purpose behind creating gaming was no doubt to let people of all ages and persuasions have fun as well as access different games that themselves were very appealing as well as sophisticated. The Wii console operates by allowing for participants in games to feel as if they are really there, acting out the game.

Wii Gaming

Right from the young to the old, everyone seems to be hooked onto this sleek gaming console these days. The ease of playing, physical activity associated with it, makes Wii a very unique gaming console that none of the other game consoles can claim. Nintendo is continually innovating and the Nintendo Wii is a prime example of what this dedication to gaming progress can yield. Be patient, shop around and have a good time gaming.

Wii Fun

The Nintendo Wii is a great console for casual gamers since the Wii games are all about fun. Innovative controllers from Nintendo bring in an element of fun in the games. Although beautiful games are fun to show off to jealous friends, are they actually fun to play. Multiplayer modes are fun and the way the graphics and sound combine is one of this game’s greatest features. The reason the Wii sells so well is because their user base of everyone, their parents, grandparents, and a monkey that likes to play fun, albeit usually simple games is what makes them so popular, and why they don’t need a heavier, more adult M rated game, and why the M-rated games aren’t selling.

Wii Sports

Wii Sports is the best for fun exercise (assuming you stand up and play along, rather than sit on the sofa and flick your wrist). But, games like Wii Sports are reserved for get-togethers or trying to convince your non-gamer significant other into playing video games. We know that products like Brain Age and Wii Sports are getting consumers 50 to 60 to 80 years old participating in gaming when they never would have before. But, games like Wii Sports are reserved for get-togethers or trying to convince your non-gamer significant other into playing video games.

The games in Wii Sports are based more on motion, whilst the games on Wii Play are based mostly on pointing. Unfortunately, the sports games in Wii Sports are simple to the extreme. I think the reason the Wii sports are the hit is that there is no learning curve involved. But some physical therapists and hospitals are realizing that games such as Wii golf and Wii boxing can help injured patients of all ages get back strength, balance, flexibility, and other functions.

There are numerous Nintendo DS Slot 1 Solutions on the market today. With two of the most noteable ones being the R4 DS slot 1 solution and the M3 DS Simply. The favorite of the two it would seem is the M3 DS Simply. Often out of stock at many online retailers. A little known fact however could have you up and playing without worrying about the item being out of stock. I say this because my reasearch has shown me (and confirmed by the manufacturers themselves) that the R4 DS and the M3 DS Simply are virtually identical to each other in both features and functions.

Both the M3 DS and the R4 DS Slot 1 solution are manufactured by the same people - or at the very least - the same factory. What this means for gamers and homebrew enthusiasts is that they can get their hands on the R4 DS and know that they’re getting the exact same product they’d be getting if they bought the M3 DS Simply at another shop.

You see, the R4 DS and M3 DS Simply are EXACTLY the same. The only difference between the two units is the packaging and the logo that is displayed on the main screen when you boot up your Nintendo DS or DS Lite. Functionality, features, even firmware upgrades and updates are released at the same time, and it seems all of the features and functions in each update are identical to the other. Whether you get the M3 DS Simply, or the R4 DS Slot 1 Solution, you’re going to essentially get exactly the same things - everything you need to load games, homebrew and applications is included in the box.

The R4 DS Slot 1 Solution Package

It’s almost a dead giveaway here, except for the fact that the R4 DS comes in it’s own R4 DS Box. But you’ll notice that once you open the box, the contents of the box are identical to the M3 DS Simply, you even get the same light blue colored keychain / carry case that comes with the M3 DS simply. You get everything you need, right out of the box. This includes the R4 DS slot 1 cartridge, a USB microSD Reader / writer (and this actually allows you to use your microSD as a USB Drive) as well as the keychain carrying case and the software CD.

Setting up the R4 DS is easy

Setup is as simple as can be. The included instruction manual (which is located on the CD itself) details exactly what you need to do in order to get your R4 DS working. The first thing you’ll have to do, is insert the microSD Card (not included - but you can buy this anywhere) into the micrSD reader / writer and plug it into any free USB port on your computer. It will instantly come up as a portable drive / flash drive. Here, you can do one of two things. You can either copy the software from the CD, as stated in the manual to the microSD card to put all of the system files on it. I would recommend though that you go to the R4 DS firmware page, and download the latest drivers, as they are often updated there.

Once you’ve copied your system files to the micro SD Card, it’s time to load the games and homebrew applications you’d like to play. Again, this works the exact same way with the M3 DS simply, no difference between the two units at all. Simply copy and paste the files from your PC that you want on the microSD card. A simply drag and drop is all that is needed. The games and homebrew applications work without any patching or fixing or compression. They work as they are, right out of the box so to speak.

Now that you’ve copied your system files, and the files you’d like to use and play, it’s time to put your microSD card into the slot on the top of the R4 DS cartridge. The R4 DS Cartidge is the same size as any standard Nintendo DS or DS Lite game cartirge, so there’s no bulging or sticking out once it’s inserted into the cartridge slot on your NDS. The micro SD slot is located on the top of the R4 DS and it is actually spring loaded. The microSD card inserts into the slot with the SD label on the opposite side of the actual R4 DS Cartidge label. You’ll hear a CLICK sound once you’ve inserted the microSD Card into the slot, this is to let you know that it is in place, and you’re set to turn on your Nintendo DS console. The microSD card fits perfectly flush against the R4 casing.

Once you’ve turned on your Nintendo DS or Nintendo DS lite, the system files will load from the R4 DS cartridge, exactly the same way they do when using the M3 DS Simply. It takes about 2 seconds for the main menu to appear, with the R4 DS logo on the top screen, and the menu on the bottom. On the bottom screen you can select one of 3 options.

1. GAME MENU - When you select this menu, you’ll be instantly taken to a list of all of the game files, homebrew applications, etc.. that you’ve stored on your microSD card. You can use the controller pad on the NDS to select the file you want to load. If you’re loading a game for the first time, you’ll be prompted, after selecting the game, to confirm that you want to create a save file for the game. This is needed if you want to save you game. Your game saves are stored on the same microSD card as the game files themselves - this is fantastic if you want to delete those games later, to replace with other files, as you can copy your save game files back to your PC, for future use when you’re ready to continue playing that game again.

2. MULTIMEDIA MENU - When you select this second option, you’ll launch the multi media player / moonshell. Within this menu, you’re able to look at digital photos stored on the microSD Card, listen to your favorite MP3 Songs, watch movies that you’ve converted from DVD with the included software, as well as read ebooks in TXT format. This essentially turns your Nintendo DS or DS Lite into a full blown multi media entertainment unit.

3. BOOT SLOT 2 - This menu option allows the R4 DS, just like the M3 DS, to boot the GBA Slot, or Slot 2, in your Nintendo DS / DS Lite console. This is for those of us that also want to get our hands on a GBA Flash card, and want to run GBA Homebrew games and applications as well as Nintendo DS. It also adds extra storage for NDS Homebrew, because you can actually use a GBA Flash card to boot NDS files, as long as you use the R4 DS as a PASSME / PASSCARD solution.

All in all, no matter which one you get, both the R4 DS Slot 1 Solution as well as the M3 DS Simply are excellent accessories for the Nintendo DS / DS Lite. Which one you get should only depend on which model is in stock. As stated earlier in this article, the two units are identical in every way. The only difference being the box packaging and the logo that appears when you first boot up your Nintendo DS console.

Rogues may be the most hated class in PvP. Why? Because they excel at taking down opponents, often without their foe even getting a chance to fight back. But not even Rogues are invulnerable. Understanding your strengths and weaknesses will make you a much more fearsome PvP foe. Let’s look at your Rogue’s strengths first.

Rogue PvP Strengths

I’ll say it right out. Few classes are as effective, or as feared in PvP. Because you are so well-rounded, it’s hard to pick out your greatest strength. If you can learn to execute them properly, your Stunlocks are brutal. A well-executed stunlock can leave your opponent immobilized or staggering around in a daze, and make them easy pickings for you and your teammates. Learn to do this right, and if you have a good Rogue PvP build, few will be able to stand up to you.

Your ability to poison your foes is probably your next greatest strength. Even when your enemies run away, you’ve got options. Use your Crippling Poison to slow them down, and your Mind Numbing Poison to mess up their spell casting. When you put these together with all your Rogue’s other strengths and abilities and it is easy to see why everyone hates you.

Rogue PvP Weaknesses

One big weakness of being a Rogue in large battles is that other players don’t like you very much. Most players have been terminated while left helpless by stunlocks and poison. They will be happy to take you down. This can make you a target, as most players will happily help when it comes to taking out an enemy Rogue.

Beyond the fact that everyone hates you, your character’s biggest weakness is the complexity of executing a stunlock. If you get distracted by some Hunter’s pet, or the Shaman you’re after gets their Earthshield up in time, and you could be in trouble. Also, remember that you need to get in close. Let a ranged fighter keep their distance, and they’ll rip you to pieces.

This has been only a quick overview of the PvP Strengths and Weaknesses of your Rogue. Most decent players can do well in PvP with just basic Rogue strategy. But to really dominate you need more than that. You’ll need to have an excellent Rogue PvP build, and a great Rogue strategy. A Roge PvP guide can help you with things like talent builds, Rogue PvP gear selection, specifics of killing each opposing class, and more.

Learning the strengths and weaknesses of your Rogue is one great way to improve your performance in PvP combat. To learn more about this and other PvP techniques in a guide that has helped others generate a 2214 Arena Rating in weeks, just Click Here.

World of Warcraft Leveling Guides are designed to get your character to Level 80 as fast as possible. To do this, they get your character following a certain chain of quests that is designed to rack up experience rapidly. But you need to take into account the unique class quests for each character class. Where do these fit into power leveling?

Each World of Warcraft class has attributes, abilities, and quests that make it unique. That’s why you may love playing a Warlock, while I’m big on Hunters, and so on. Even if you could get to Level 80 without developing the unique characteristics of your character, it would take a lot of the fun out of playing.

So how does developing your character’s unique attributes fit into the typical WoW Leveling Guide? It doesn’t. As you can imagine, it takes a lot of work to integrate the unique quests for each class into any kind of leveling guide. Some guides just cover the basics of leveling and leave it up to you to figure out how to get your class quests taken care of. But there are some people out there who are doing this right.

Both Dugi’s Guide and the Zygor Guides incorporate class quests into their guides. When you use either of these guides, your character will automatically be guided to do relevant class quests as part of their progression from Level 1 to Level 80. As a result, your character will be a fully-functional Paladin, Priest, Hunter, or whatever class you chose by the time they’re done racing up to Level 80.

If you want to succeed in the end game content, you need to be sure your character completes their class quests. And forcing you to figure out how to fit your quests into a generic leveling guide isn’t acceptable. Don’t accept any guide that doesn’t include your class quests in the progression.

If you want to level fast without neglecting your class quests, you need the right levelign guide. All you need to do is Click Here.
