Gamervision's Jonathan Cooper writes: "Last night, I looked over at my closed Nintendo DS and saw that the lights were off. It was strange, I thought, because they had been on for about a week, and I didn't remember turning off the game. Confused, I picked up the DS, turned it on, and watched as the screen flickered, the red light flashed, and the device turned off. After letting it charge for a few minutes and turning on Dragon Quest IX, which I had put nearly 30 hours in to, I saw something that literally made me feel light headed: the time counter was back at 23 hours. I had lost nearly eight hours of play because I had, for no reason, just let my DS sit there instead of making sure I had saved. I started thinking back, and realized that this wasn't the first time something like that had happened to be, but it was the first time I felt guilty about it."
