Does it embarass you to play your DS in public?

[War]

I hate it when people ask "where you get that game" and i'm like "i downloaded it" and they then ask how you can download games for ds.

Ugh, I know the feeling. And then they persist that you "can't download DS games".

I'm not embarrassed to play DS games in public cause I've never done it. I get embarrassed cause i have it and I'm not because i think i might get embarrassed.

Yep, thats what also happens.

Yep, thats what also happens. I know someone who said something like "oh yeah, you have that chip thingo" and now wants one and doesnt know anything about it at all (not even the name i dont think).

not really, although it depends on the game, some of the games where your character is supposed to be like 12 I must admit I don't play anywhere more public than a train (I am 19, If you are wondering)

It doesn't seem to be perceived so much as immature as geeky, which I don't mind, but ninty running ads with Patrick Stewart in them doesn't exactly help that image!

If it involves screaming into the microphone then yes - it does embarass me. Overall, not really. I mean, why should it? Maybe that gaming at school seems a bit nerdy (I certainly wouldn't do it, just because I don't want to risk damaging my DS) but it doesn't make a difference if you use a PSP or DS. Actually, the DS is probably more accepted.

Because I dont play games such as "Dogz, Catz, Tigerz, etc.), I feel alright.
I dont use headphones or anything. I mostly(90%) have sound off when playing on DS.

 

[RhiGhost]

My DS is always in my bag when I go out, I get bored really easily so if I'm waiting to have lunch with someone, in a waiting room or something like that I'll play it. I'm not embarassed at all! I love my DS and I'm not afraid to show that love in public lol.

 

[gk.7]

Hell no... actually... on my girlfriends b-day, we were playing ds on a restaurant full of people... they kept looking at us but why should we care? lol

 

[Anakir]

I usually play my DS or listen to my mp4 for my commute. Some black guy on the subway asked me what game I'm playing.. I said I was playing spiderman. He said it looked like crap. Then he asked me if I got any basketball games on it.. LOL I just said no. He suggested me playing basketball games..

Wow. That was lame. I wouldn't play virtual sports 'cause I play sports in real life..

Anyways, on topic, no, I don't get embarrassed. I just glare at people who think it's stupid.

They won't ever look back.

only fags carry their DS around everywhere

Oh, really? Than I guess you must carry your DS everywhere.

 

[Upperleft]

NOOOOOOOOO
THEN ANNOYING LITTLE BRATS ARE GOING TO JUMP ALL OVER ME :'(

 

[Mangofett]

I'm not embarrassed to, but I don't anymore since it occupies too much pocket space and I don't have much games to play (that I want to play). So I usually bring my ipod touch and hope where I'm going has wifi.

Nice Come back

As of getting embarrassed, well i don't give a damn of what other people think so yeah i guess i don't. However my friends are sometimes confused since at the same time im a PC enthusiast and at a same time a Nintendo lover.

 

[Mr. Waffle]

With the current state of my DS, I do embarrass me, because my screen is broken and ppl are asking: IS YOUR SCREEN BROKEN!?!
And then I say: WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?!
And then they say: IT LOOKS LIKE IT"S BROKEN.
And then I say: THEN WHY DO YOU ASK!

I wouldn't embarass me anymore if I had some good games right now.
I only have shity games atm.
I want C.O.R.E. lol.

 

[Searinox]

Nope. Why would I?

 

[MystikEkoez]

A little. DS's are regarded as a toy for kids here. If seen with a PSP, then it's a different story.

 

[Flawsdraw]

No I play both my PSP and DS in public I don't care if I'm seen with my DS because it's one of the hottest things to own in the UK especially comming up to christmas, plus I still see people with the GBA SP and they don't get laughed at, all depends where you are from and whether or not someone is jealous, people took the piss out of me when I got the IPhone, I eventually got rid of it becuase it was kinda crap and a few of them got one and started laughing at me for getting rid of it. Small world....

 

[Talaria]

Only place I've been where the DS is accepted in public is Japan especially on the JR Line nearly everytime i caught a train there was at least one person playing the DS. Although its seems PSP's have become quite popular aswell as there were an equal number PSP peeps playing them on the trains. I was amazed out how they coped with the inertia of the train stopping, that they could walk straight and get off the train unaided while playing the DS with no ill effects of the train stopping. Meanwhile i walk to the exit door soley focussing on not stumbling forward as the train stops, usually resulting in me grabbing the handrail above =/

Why would yiou get embarrassed? You're playing a video game system exactly like a PSP.
