Funny you talk about Las Vegas and Phoenix Wright. My mom and sister are on a trip to the West Coast and they're going to be in Vegas for two days, and they promised to go to an outlet and buy me Phoenix Wright. Score. V^o^V
Cool! Then we can psyche about this game together :D Get a flash card. SuperCard, or any of those. You pay ~50$ once, and then you DL games for free, forever.
Flooding, in psychology, is a method that includes exposing a person with a phobia to the very thing that s/he fears, for an extended period of time.
It pretty much works by the principal that after prolonged exposure to that object you fear, your brain will eventually calm down and start proccessing it in a more aware and rational way, thus overriding the initial instinct of panic associated with that certain object.

So yeah, if I'm an aquaphob, jumping into a pool is one helluva "flooding".
