Morning folks, and a happy Thanksgiving, y'all! Today, rather than dedicate this space to talking about some DS-related minutiae, we're leaving it open for discussion about your Thanksgiving plans, and how the DS slots into your Turkey Day schedule. Do you plan to spend a quiet moment getting further through Chrono Trigger? Converting Granny to Brain Age? Playing a spot of wireless Mario Kart DS with cousins?Maybe you don't plan to pick up your beloved handheld at all. To which we say: hey, Thanksgiving is a time for coming together, and that extends to people and their DSes as well! Er, probably. I don't know, I'm British. This is all one big mystery to me.
By the way, we'll still be posting today, so if you do get bored at any point, feel free to poke your head in. Have a grand day, everybody!

Pokémon Ranger 2, university work, and actually, haven't a clue for dinner tonight, but it probably won't be turkey.
I too, am british.

I just bought my first handheld console -- DS Lite and Chrono Trigger specifically for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
Will be away from home for a while, so keep me entertained want to have the option of playing some games.

I will enjoy Thanksgiving dinner with my beautiful wife and two wonderful children. Then I'm going to spend the evening playing "Age of Empires: Mythologies". What a great day!

Vegetarians don't have fun on Thanksgiving :(
Sides are good, though.

I'll be doing some serious soul-searching after having bought copies of Spanish for Everyone and Boogie DS this morning at a Thanksgiving blowout sale at an obscure local retailer. They were only $5 each, but it's the point that I paid actual money for shovelware.
And that was the BEST of the selection--at least I was sane enough to pass over El Tigre and Flipper Critters for the DS, the slew of different Texas Hold 'Em and Puffy Ami Yumi games for the GBA, and the PS2 game tie-ins to various box office bombs. There were so many grandparents around me snatching up all of these with their knobbly, callused, varicose-veined hands--I could already feel the collective disappointment of their grandkids.
I also found a copy of WordJong but it rang up $20 instead of $5 at the register so I put it back :(
So no actual gaming on Thanksgiving. Christmas vacation is where it's at--I have a sweet backlog of Dragon Quest IV, Hotel Dusk, My Japanese Coach, Rune Factory, and Space Invaders Extreme to burn through in a month (on top of Persona 4...eek).

I am trying Animal Crossing:WW this Thanksgiving, no reason, just have a copy finally and wanted to try it. It seems like a laid back title that can be saved/stopped quickly should family/friends need more of my attention.
