Well, it got me thinking about where else a games console could go apart from in a car. I’ve seen these American cars with Playstation 2’s in and stuff, I know they have them on tour buses for bands and I also know that they have SNES on some flights. But what if you wanted to be like my best friends sisters ex-boyfriend and play games on the go? Where would you put your console?
BIKE
Now if you’re planning to stick a heavyweight console on your Bike then I think you should think again. Let’s put this straight…a Bike isn’t a place for a console. You can put it in your living room, in your Kitchen, in the Garage but never on your Bike. For a start, where would you put it? You could stick it in between your legs but then what would be your power source? Maybe you could use pedal power. If we combine all of this information together we can see that trying to see where you’re going, playing a game whilst also getting power cycling furiously is not a good idea. No four player death matches as well unless you have a Bike for four people. Face it, no-one wants to see you in your tight shorts playing a video game.

SAILING BOAT
To sail a boat you need wind and consoles do not mix with wind. To sail a boat you need water and consoles were not made for water. That little fan in your console isn’t going to fight off the gales and Mr. Gates didn’t design the X-Box to float so bad idea Sailor boy. If you could design a device such as a rubber dingy for your beloved machine then maybe it’s possible but otherwise I wouldn’t try it unless you’ve still got the receipt.
SKATEBOARD
The Gameboy Advance would work on a Skateboard, infact you could make up a trick name for it when you whip it out. I recommend this only for the skillful though as you need to keep one eye on the street for old ladies and another on the road for incoming traffic. Rigging up a Playstation 2 will not work, it will only get scratches and the CD drawer will snap off. You cannot be Tony Hawk twice at the same time, actually you can’t be Tony Hawk at all…you’re rubbish. Oh, and your long hair will get in the way…dude.
SURFING
The same like totally applies dude. Stick to your board.
JET-PAC
Go for it.
LAWNMOWER
I’m a genius…that’s right, a genius. I think I have come up with the greatest plan to date…a console on your LAWNMOWER! And how doe’s this work? Well, it’s simply really…as you know a Lawnmowers power source is via a plug and that is also the same for a console. So, if you try and divert the electrical current onto your console then there you have it. You could also plug in another plug and juggle that over your shoulder too. If you are to try this be warned, it is risky. But still I am a legend for thinking of it…or not?
RODEO
Now if I’m right a Rodeo is electrically powered much like a Lawnmower so maybe I am a genius again? I have tried many a time to get the Rodeo in my school for P.E but they never listen, this is so sad to see. Out of all the thing’s I have suggested so far the Rodeo has to be the one which will work the most. Ok, it won’t be so great for Super Monkey Ball with all that jigging around but it will actually be the most fun you’ll ever have on a game. I recommend you buy some super glue for your console and your TV and ride that bull!
HORSE RIDING
Similar to the Rodeo but still a heading in its own right. Mr. Horse will not be very happy if you stick a big chunky console beast on his back, nor will he be happy about the widescreen TV. If Knights can fight on Horses then why can’t we play games? Animal cruelty…maybe.
ICE SKATES
For a start there is never any ice. So let’s forget this one.
SCOOTER
I see it.
JET SKI
Yep.
POWERBOAT
Why not?
MONSTER TRUCK
Sure thing.
As you can see a console, with a bit of thought, can be put anywhere. This can be a good thing and a bad thing, but mostly good.
What can you come up with?

Top spelling for Jet Pac man, Rare would be proud! :)
