DS Review: touching is good


We often consider ourselves to be the experts of touching, a label which has far more connotations than practical uses. Still, it has allowed us to become very intimate with Nintendo's latest portable, one that many would argue to be an open celebration of poking and prodding. In the above video, the esteemed and obviously mature Mark Slutsky explains why the DS has gained this reputation and why whipping it out in public is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

[Thanks Mark!]

You know, I just realized your saying at the top of this site (Touching. It's what we do) and if someone who wasn't familiar with the DS read this, they'd think that your a bunch of pedophiles.

(but you still have the best saying of all of joystiq's fanboy sites) :)

LOL no one under stood what he was trying to do? Maybe its just because of my gutter like mind that I knew from the start that he was just being an idiot, watch it over again and this time think dirty.

This is hilarious. What's more funny is people don't get it. I wasn't sure what he was doing until he started drawing XD. Now I'm gonna put on my rubber because it's safer.

Haha, I really cannnot believe that some of you didn't pick up on the sexual innuendos.

"I feel strange whipping it out on the bus." :D
The whole SM64 orgy thing.
The rubber being safer.

Good times.

Wow, the innuendos in that were hilarious! That was not a face he drew, ladies and gents... the 'hand movements under the desk', 'use a rubber because it's safer' c'mon...
