Evening Reading: I Don't Care About 3D

So, Nintendo revealed the 3DS early this morning in Japan and I could not be less excited. Not only do I care absolutely zero about 3D-gaming (about as much as I care about 3D-movies), I can't imagine it working on a handheld.

Maybe Nintendo has a big surprise up its sleeve, but I think we could be looking at the next Virtual Boy here. Either way, we'll know more at E3.

You know what I am excited about? LOST!

  I loved it! The stuff at the end with Richard, Isabella and Hurley was very touching The exchanges between Jacob and MiB very good too.
  
  I almost hope the ending to the series is not a happy one. Would be neat to see what happens if MiB "wins"
  
  Also, when is the side flash timeline going to merge or be explained, buggin me!
