Poll: The DS's Microphone

[DrDeath3191]

The DS's microphone is a feature not often utilized in the console's vast library. However, there are some, like Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, that require you to make a loud noise. Doing this while travelling (which a portable system is one to do) in the presence of other people can be a tad awkward. How do you handle these situations?

I trick the thing: because snapping you fingers is much less stupid for a person to randomly do than scream "GIMME THAT F***ING CRANE, YOU MOTHERF***ER!".

Couldn't you just blow on the thing?

That's what I do.
Far simpler than having to scream at my electronics like a mad man.

You'd be surprised how shitty it responds to blowing into it

To be honest, I forgot the thing had a mic. It's probably the dumbest feature that none of my games use.

True, true... I only have one game that uses it, and I've only touched that a few weeks after I got it a few years back.

Poor dog is probably dead by now.

I have Pokemon diamond, and if you use the shitty online friend code system to battle, you can actually hear the other person and speak to them, I met a guy from Denmark once, he owned me with his claydol or whatever. I also used it on the latest mario rpg, easy way to get excellents in flames

I hand it to my brother for those bits so he's the one that looks stupid

Yes, but I find finger snapping to be much more reliable.
