Oh, we don't mean juggling actual DS Lites (but if you do that as a hobby, we want to see), but rather, the art of juggling your DS play with other activities. When you play, do you focus on your DS alone, or are you also chatting, or watching TV, or maybe working idly on something else while playing something with a slower pace? If it depends on the game, then we're curious which games require your full attention, and which don't.

Grinding in FFTA and Pokemon doesn't usually require my full attention so I can watch TV. I've always tried watching TV while playing games.

I always watch TV and play my DS at the same time.

I usually have half my attention on my DS when I'm playing at home, though it's at 100% when I'm on the bus.

Depends on the game. It's impossible to do anything else while playing Trauma Center, but Puzzle Quest, Tetris, and maybe even Phoenix Wright lend themselves very well to multi-tasking.

I work as a fundraiser for universities, hospitals, museums, public television etc and during the summer in the morning shifts I can play DS at work, having to constantly snap it shut as an alumnus of the Medical School may answer at any time... Many is the time I've had to replay an otherwise perfect level in 'Elite Beat Agents' and 'Ouendan 2' because of somebody answering the phone: those games are nigh-on-unpausable without losing your place in the harder settings.

When playing anything I give it my full attention. I fail at multitasking.

I play puzzle games while I'm editing speeches for the politician I work for. I obviously don't take my job very seriously. When I'm writing, I like to have an adventure game like Hotel Dusk or Trace Memory that doesn't require me to make split-second decisions all the time, so I can write, play, write, play, then just play play play.

I can play Puzzle Quest while doing most anything else. EBA, however, eats you alive . . . take your concentration off of it for one second, and SNAP!
