It looks like a horrible hand held gaming device.

and it's 199$. Who the fuck would pay 199$ for that shit? I don't know who the hell their target demographic is.

8 to 10 year olds?
 
It's America's third favorite handheld gaming system, right after the Virtual Boy and sock with googly eyes glued on it.
 
Those cones with a ping pong ball attached them would be more entertaining that shit shit device.
 
kids got xboxes, wiis, ps3s for 200-300-600 bucks

kids these days get ipads - 500 dollar toys

the 3ds is shit but the price point isn't that unusual, the psp was about that much too

Back when it first busted onto the scene (came out), the PSP was something like $300. My parents bought me one for my birthday, but I made them return it because it was too expensive.

the most expensive handheld game thing my parents ever bought me was a 15 dollar brick game.

i loved that thing.
 
wait we're talking about different things

it wasn't nintendo, it was cheapo generic brand, 1 game + 1 watch in a plastic package
 
this is what i had

Oh! A Tetris clone. It was probably sold with the watch to capitalize on the Game & Watch trend.


i wish i still had it, it was more fun than any of the games i have on my phone these days

man back in the 90s everything came with a watch. i had so many cheap plastic watches. my favorite though, was my huge gaudy black talking watch - you pressed a button and it would tell you the time, and it made a rooster crow when the alarm went off. i thought it was the most advanced piece of technology ever.

I also had a lot of watches. They used to give them out at fast food places a lot back then. I don't remember ever wearing one, but I must have had a box full. Maybe it was a carryover from the '80s sleeves of Swatches.
 
i got bf one of these shirts

they're both cute and macabre i feel



HI SILVA

My father has recently taken up trapping. Seriously, it ended up with me banging a Ford Model (longsotory). However, I'm not familiar with that particular animal. While, I'd be happy to have my father trap one, I''m not comfortable with the skill differential. What kind of animal is that? What kind of defenses does that animal have? Would it be an even fight? (sorry for the typos, I'm hammered!)
 
haha they have a pikachu, bulbasaur and charmander version too

but i thought squirtle was the cutest

All the starters! That is pretty fucking cute. I always chose fire, so I probably would have gone with Charmander.

that sounds like a good thing; i wish my father's exploits would lead me to banging a ford model - wait, maybe not.

as i understand it, squirtle's core abilities involve water -- i think he blasts you with bubbles. he's basically a turtle so you'll have to contend with his shell. wear waterproof clothing and you should be fine.

charmander was great, but for some reason i recall him being squishy - that might be wrong, i only played the pokemon game a couple of times on the game boy.

i got this perfume set:

and he keeps playing with the bottles because they look like pokeballs.

Squirtle is a water type Pokémon, so grass and electric type attacks are the most effective against him. Fire type attacks are very ineffective.

Ha! The pink one reminds me of a Masterball. I used mine on Mewtwo.
