Walk the Walk?

[Rase]

Olay, so today, I was at the mall when I saw some kid - lets call him Billy- playing a PSP. Now, this isn't that big a deal, I mean sure, he's the first I've actually seen playing one, but whatever. What got me was something I've seen a lot, but never understood. Little Billy was playing his PSP while walking. Now, I know that this occurs a lot, but to me, I never understood it, nor could I effectivaly do it. But for me, hand-held gaming is for when I'm on the go, but not trying to concentrate on something else, like walking, driving, swimming, etc. I play when I'm riding in a car or bus, etc., or in a hotel when I'm on trips.

Anyway, so do you do this?

i used to do it when i was a kid, and then i stopped playing handheld systems in public when i realized i look like a frickin nerd to hot chicks. but i wouldnt play it and walk, id bump into people if i did that.

Sure, I usually play Lumines while walking home from school. I'm not concerned about looking like a nerd to hot chicks. ;)

I'd be more concerned with running into things.

Maybe I just can't multitask that well.

I couldn't play and walk. I'm pretty much the same as you according to everything you've posted.

And I don't give a shiz is people think I look like a 'nerd'. But then, I'm not in 9th grade anymore.

I dont generally play while walking
Im more sittin down person
But i definatly wouldnt play my PSP in a mall.
I mean I duno bout America but in UK, carrying hundreds of pounds of equipment just generally in a place or bus or street, its most likely a greedy person may want his hands on it and most probably steal it off you. I play my PSP in long car journeys mostly. I just want to know my PSP is secure and hidden from thieves

I play it while I make love.

My thoughts also. People around London are way too interested in other people's possessions for their own good, so while I can't multi-task that well anyway, I'd probably not bother anyhow due to the brooding eyes of the illuminati potential thieves.

I don't really like playing my GBA while walking, just because, yeah, I like to concentrate on walking really, although I did play Boktai walking to and from town a few times since I needed to be out in the sun anyway. And I didn't have that much trouble there.

I did play[ed] Boktai walking to and from town [around] a few times lot since I needed to be out in the sun anyway. And I didn't have that much [had no] trouble there.

I've never really walked around while playing a handheld, probably because I'm never that bored/in a hurry. It's pretty disorienting to walk around by looking at your feet. Unless you hold the handheld up to your face... in which case you'd probably look like an idiot. I suppose you'd get better at it with practice, though.

I've never tried, but more than likely I'd run into stuff if I did.
