DS Gamer Group: PAX Meetup!

So there I was, surfing the PA boards like a homeless man looking for a cigarette in the trench of two asphult stones, when suddenly, I had this idea!
With all the interesting people that will be at PAX, there have been a lot of people pre-aranging to meet up and play some games, or do various other crud.
Wouldn't it be cool to have a DS group? People who want to play a ton of DS (not the whole time of course) and get to know each other throughout the course of the three days? Hell, those people staying at the Double-Tree could play ALL NIGHT!
So I thought, to get the ball rolling, we should all give off a list of all the games we own (even if they are single player, in case somebody wants to try one out). I will update the list here so that we can see it all in one place.
The next step would be some sort of identifier. Should we do something like write "DS" in black marker on our tag holder (not the pretty tag of course) to identify that we have visited this thread? Should we all try and meet up at some specific time at least once near the begining to get to know each other? Please discuss!
ALSO: My offer still stands to take anyone to the mall or Seattle to pick up a copy of Nintendogs before or during the event. I only want to do this once, so express interest please.

hey man i ain't gay
...
i have wario ware touched (fuck this piece of shit game though, i'm probably gonna trade it in for nintendogs since i got it for free anyways), meteos, kirby, and i will be getting electroplankton, nintendogs, and advance wars
Lumines for PSP.
I'm a puzzle nut, what can i say.
I don't wanna upkeep a PSP list too, haha. Feel free to post it but I'm too lazy to put PSP games in teh top list too. Maybe tomorrow.
I thought there was an EB in Bellevue Square Mall? I have never been to the Crossroads Mall. I'm from smelly Everett.
And the Seattle thing was simply in case there was somebody from a far off land that wanted to see the Space Needle or some shit.
Anyway, I updated the list. Too bad WarioWare isn't multiplayer, so many of us have it. Also, did you guys read the rest of my original post? Please do that and discuss!
Heh, maybe we should just play Pictochat Hot 'n' Cold.
Well, right now I only have Kirby Canvus Curse. Seeing as only one person has Bomberman DS so far (that's an outrage), I suppose I should get that. But I do intend on getting Advance Wars Dual Strike when it comes out.
Edit: That's a joke and if you don't get it you can die.
Oh, and I'm easy to spot. I'm the one with the tie-dye DS.
Yes.
The Japanese name is Daigasso Band Brothers and the English name is Jam With The Band.
But there is no English version yet.
Fixed!
Can anyone respond to the rest of my post about meeting up?

and 'cause other people are listing PSP games here,
ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin' Trails
Lumines
Metal Gear Acid
Twisted Metal Head On
Untold Legends
Wipeout Pure
and Formula Front is in the mail.
If anyone has a Neo Geo Pocket, Wonderswan Color, Game Gear, GBA, + link cable for the system, I can do those, too.
Edit:
And oh yeah, I'm not sure if I'll come to this or not, but I have:
Mario 64
Kirby Canvas Curse
Metroid Demo
and will have:
Advanced Wars
Kawashima Ryuuta Kyouju no Nou wo Kitaeru Otona no DS Training
and possibly:
Electroplankton
i'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you there
Somebody, for the love of everything that is holy, start proposing a meetup plan! Read my original post for ideas!
I think I will have to get Advanced Wars and Meteos, since those seem real popular. I really want Nanostray as well. How is Nanostray Mr. Xieflow? Is it long? I would want a game like that to have like 100 levels.
Attention resturaunt customers! PSP sucks! That is all!
Anyways, Nanostray is pretty darn awesome, TranwreckX. Plays a lot like Iridion 2. It does not, however, offer too many levels (something like 9, maybe?), however it does offer a lot of "challenges" that you can pick from. One might be "Finish Level 1 with only one life", another might be "Get a score of ____ on mission 4", et cetera.
There is one real flaw with the game, and that is switching weapons is a pain in the ass, as it's touch-screen only.
edit : also, I have band brothers. Did I forget to list that?
I probably won't pick of Nanostray if it isn't long. Simple games have to be long for me to enjoy them. Yes, you forgot to add Band Brothers, I'll add it now.
a) you can't really buy any new games if you want homebrew, and you can do homebrew on a ds with a handy little flash cart
b) computers are for web browsing, psp's are for games
c) ipods and cd players are for music, dvd players are for movies, psp's are for games
d) the whole "aimed at an older audience" thing is bullshit. if the game's good, who cares
My computer doesn't fit in my pocket.
I can't fit a handheld and MP3 player in my pocket at the same time, and portable DVD players never fit in my pocket.
PSP homebrew is far far easier to do, and requires no changes.
No games right now are unplayable if you are at 1.5. Coded Arms forces an upgrade to 1.5, but that's the level everyone is doing homebrew at right now, anyways.
the only time you'd ever watch a movie on a psp is if you are on a long car drive or on a plane. a laptop is better suited because it has a better battery life and a bigger screen.
in conclusion, the ds is better because it has better games and does not focus on a bunch of useless multimedia things that are done way better on other platforms.
ok i'm done.
And I fly often enough to validate purchasing a UMD movie for each leg of a trip.
"Useless" multimedia things? I use every single feature of my PSP quite frequently except for the picture viewer.
And I wouldn't say DS games are better. Different, yes, and it's entirely a matter of preference. I personally think Twisted Metal is fantastic, especially with the online support. And Lumines is untouchable.
The PSP is a portable multimedia device, the DS is a portable game system. Completely different functionality.
BY GUYS I MEAN BORFASE
