We journalists like to hog things. Especially if it means hogging it from gamers. It's a kind of na na na boo boo thing you learn in journalism school that means "we are better than you because we are playing Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess and you aren't! In yo face sucka!"
Yeah, they have rehab for that power trip and now they have ways to let you download stuff, the same way we do so we can all hold hands and feel equal.
In all seriousness, this How-to Download DS Demos from the Net for free with your PC Wi-Fi card by Robert Howells from Pocket Gamer is really helpful in teaching even computards like me how to make this an easy, smooth process instead of tearing up your computer in frustration. He even provides links to make sure you've got the right stuff before you get halfway through and realize you're screwed.
Just follow the steps he's outlined and botta-bing-bang-boom! You're one of us now. Welcome to the dark side.

"and realize your screwed... and realize your screwed."
You use the wrong "your" in both of those places. It should be, "you're."
I have knit-picky teachers so I notice these things.
:D

While noone is perfect, Andy, I do think DS Fanboy does like to keep use a higher standard of spelling and grammar. Gives the place a more professional feel to it. :)
And, Mullet? It's "nitpicky." :P
No "k" or hyphen.

Beat me to the nitpicking punch XD
But that does make me wonder if I still have that random wireless card laying around. I've always wanted to try this out but never thought much about it.

YOUR SECRET HAS BEEN EXPOSED, NEKO!
I will now find you, and... umm... ummmm.... uhh....
Oh, who am I kidding? I don't really care to find you, and would be too lazy to do anything anyways. XD
Yeah... just bored and felt like saying something strange. Yeah.

Isn't this exactly like WiFi Me? Well this is cool, I wish I could get it to work. Well Jump Super Stars would be so cool to play, and if they somehow got the Download Stations from PokePark, with the fishing and the other new one, that would be so awesome, and I would go out and buy a network card!
