I found this interesting at how someone would destroy a perfectly good game boy just to turn it into a fire cracker.

Dear EoFF,

When are you implementing the Bad-Speller-Ban?

Love, Tokki.

PS. I'm just kidding I <3 u :</b>(

[Erdrick Holmes]

I heard of this on the news. Yes it is a waste of a good Game Boy.

[Yamaneko]

I'm guessing it's the old GB, but this news article is seriously lacking details. May god help him if it was an SP.

[Erdrick Holmes]

If it were it were an old school Gameboy that would have caused alot of damage.

[Linus]

That reminds me of this kid at my school who told his teacher he had a bomb, and he started hugging his bookbag. It was actually a game boy that he didn't want her to take from him.

[escobert]

if it was a SP I would beat him. *wants a SP* evil little kids these days.

[Peegee]

Do you weirdos have 'crime stoppers'?

[Shlup]

R.I.P. perfectly good Game Boy. ;_;

[eestlinc]

eh, game boys suck anyway. like you actually need to play video games while you are out of the house too. go get a real hobby, like blowing things up.

[Shlup]

What would I do in biology class without my GBASP? :(

[eestlinc]

learn? covertly masturbate? sleep? snort ketamine? yes.

[DeBlayde]

ya know, I remember baaaack in the day, when I was in elementary school (busts out the grampa shawl, specs and cane), gameboy's were like an inch and a half thick, four inches wide and seven inches tall. that'd make one hay'll of a firecracker. if ya took a buncha fire crackers and stuffed the whole casing full, that'd be probably more than a stick of dynamite.

kaBoomski!:D

I'm just glad it wasn't a Game Gear, I always like them better because of the backlit screen that Nintendo put on their handheld eventually. And the TV adapter <3

On topic though, that's just stupid. If it was an old Gameboy then the chunky thing would have caused enough damage just throwing it at someone.

[Mo-Nercy]

The old Game Boy is already a weapon of mass destruction. Just drop it off a tall building, and it'll make a crater the size of a city.

[Erdrick Holmes]

I used to have an old gameboy. Oh my god that thing was heavy. I still miss the Gamegear, it was advanced for its time.

[Heath]

Only problem with the Game Gear in comparison to the Game Boy was the battery eating powers it had, which weren't as bad as some handhelds. Still, I had the mains adapter for mine anyway so it really wasn't a problem.

[Baloki]

I suppose at least old gameboys wern't rasist with their black and white screens, they were perfectly nutral, compared to games companies having to think through the race issue nowadays with the colour screens, what am I going on about again, I think I left my brain in the draw.....

Yeah though, I remember someone at our school made up some of those bombs, the ones which where fasioned from bottles of beer and wine and the like. And then began throwing them.....

Caboom!

xD True...

Old Gameboys aren't that bad! =o I have a gameboy colour, so people would consider that old, when in reality it's pretty nice.

Ha ha! I've influenced you so much you now spell it the British way! Ha ha, SCORE!

Anyway, I love my GBA SP, and if that guy tried to blow one of those up then meh, his loss, but still, the explosion would have been cool.

Especially if he'd have been playing on it, then some guy he doesn't like demands a turn.... BOOM!

[Erdrick Holmes]

I remember the time somebody stole my old GBA and 2 games (Super Street Fighter II Turbo and Monster Rancher Advance) I got the GBA back but the bastard who took it tried to colour it white and ripped the barcode of the back so I cant get a replacemtn under warrenty, I still don't know who took it but whoever did it and if I find him/her will lose a finger.

[escobert]

maybe it was that kid.

[Mr. Graves]

I hope it was an old gameboy. I could never stand to play those.

[Meat Puppet]

I've got an old gameboy, I've been thinking of blowing it up one of these fine days.

[Mr. Graves]

Go for it. xD

[Meow]

i don't get it. Would the thing even have been that dangerous? Sounds to me like they freaked out about a firecracker with buttons.

[Chzn8r]

Yet another example of the world going to hell in a handbasket...




...when he could've used an N-Gage! How silly!

[Thunday Man]

blowing things up at school? heh dont get me started on that. Im home from school today serving my first suspention for blowing up a bottle with some dry ice and some water. aparently it was a CO2 bomb =p

Sp sucks ass..-_- that thing in eats batterys like a mother er..so annoying...i hate it -_-, gameboy advance uses less battery power and yea...meh..old gameboys where the ..lol, i have like 5 of em..they all disaperd though =(

[Erdrick Holmes]

I can make a bomb out of a CD. I think that can do more damage than an exploding Gameboy.

[Jebus]

And I can make one out of a floppy. But its not so much a bomb as it is a "melt the hell out of your computer's insides" thinger.

I still know how to make one of those. I plan on doing some damage with it soon.

Anyway. Just imagine all of the work put into hollowing out a Gameboy the filling it with powder.
