The Notepad And Memo Device Of Movement

Nintendo is a much beloved game developer/publisher. Most people, gamers and non-gamers, have had at least minimal playtime with some Nintendo game. For those who haven't, they are at least vaguely acquainted with some of the characters and the name of the company.

Nintendo is also known as being The Most Forward-Thinking Console Developer. Naysaying persons often refer to that Forward Thinking Console Developer as basing its success off of gimmicks. The Blog Keeper would like to argue against that concept. The Same Blog Keeper would also like to counter the occasional flak fired at The Most Forward Thinking Console Developer for having concocted consoles and controls schemes that were terrifically terrible.

The defense being that one(in this case, The Forward Thinking Console Developer) cannot advance without many trials and subsequent errors. The Greatest Artists were not born being able to draw and paint well, they practiced and went through many more hideous scribbles than they ever did masterpieces.

That's what The Forward Thinking Console Developer's Virtua Boy and Power Glove(perhaps the two most famous flunks) were. Not to mention the Phillips Cdi and its attrocious acts being the direct result of a contract deal with Phillips.

However, were they not willing to take such risks, they would have never known the nature of how stereoscopic 3d should be presented. How would they know that the accelerometer technology in the Wii would be useful without having tried it? Everyone shided the DS with its unimaginative name and "gimmicky" touch screen that would supposedly never amount to serious gameplay. Yet the popularity of The Dual Screen Device From The Forward Thinking Developer shows that it was not a simple kitsch that would quickly fade away.

In fact, Apple, which nobody ever seems to want to criticize, has made a killing off of employing the same concept in their own device. The iTouch is not original. It is simply a more PSP-like version of The Forward Thinking Console Developer's The Dual Screen Device, which is what many people said they wanted to see. Many said that the next iteration of the DS should void the second screen, in favor of the real feature they wanted to experience, which was the more tactile interface.

There are cartridges that allowed The Afforementioned Dual Screened Device to Dual function(which, in this case, totals it up to a trifecta of function) as an MP3 playing device, which precedes the iPod Touch(henceforth refered to as the iTouch), and gives it all of the same functions. An Opera internet browser allowed The Dual Screened, Triple Functioned Device to conduct all of the same, frequently used operations of the iTouch. On top of it, there are games in existance for The Afforementioned Dual Screened Device that do not exist for the iTouch, due to its own lack of buttons being quite inhibiting in the long run for gameplay funcitonality.

Of course, the iTouch has the capacity for interpreting to points of contact simultaneously. However, the precision and sensitivity of The Apple Device With One Less Screen is inferior, not to mention the inability to respond to a plastic stylus(The Blog Keeper understands this as a limitation of the electrosensitive technology that give the device its tactile function).

Even with 3 years of time to follow up and improve, The Apple Device With One Less Screen still has inferior aspects to counter its superior functions. Colors, a popular app for the iPhone/iTouch, was first developed for The Afforementioned Dual Screened Device. Now, in following, we finally conclude this rant on the part of The Blog Keeper, and are given the opportunity to witness The Cool Thingamujig Of The Day.

Moving Memo


This Cool Thingamujig's main feature of attraction to The Blog Keeper is its capacity to create frame by frame animations on The Afforementioned Forward Thinking Console Developer's Dual Screened Device. This is cool, indeed.

So, The Blog Keeper presents to you, The Cool Thingamujig Of The Day
