The Rodeo

30 Days of writing: Day 3

Kotaku has a competition running where you can win a swanky looking Electric Blue Nintendo DS.

I’d love to have one of these fine machines but my bank account won’t let me. It keeps going on and on about things like rent and wives and children (I actually only have one of each of the former, but it doesn’t want to listen…).

The deal with this competition is that you have to send in a photo of something blue. And that something should have something to do with gaming (being a game-related website I figure that’s fair enough ).
So I have submitted the following picture:

Doesn’t look too game-like at the moment?
When it was first taken (by my wife - I checked this with Brian at Kotaku, he said it was fine to use) my first thought was: That looks an awful lot like Link finding an object.

I illustrate my thought thusly:

My second thought was: Actually, that looks like he wants to be a plumber, by stomping on my head as all plumbers-in-training are want to do…

If he reminds me of any further game characters, I’ll be sure to make reference to them here.
He is a cute kid for sure though… He’d love to be able to play a fantastic little Nintendo DS (he already plays gamecube… although his small, chubby fingers lack any finesse when trying to control X-wings and Olimar). I’d love to be able to teach him how.

Brian… if you read this, please let me have that DS… I’d really appreciate it. Look at his face, he’s so happy now, and he’d be happier still if we won.
