When I'm at work during the day, I like to go to the coffee room at lunch time, but instead of reading boring old coffee stained newspapers, I bring my Gameboy Color with me.
When I first started doing this I got some pretty funny looks from the suited and booted brigade, but they soon warmed to the sight of me huddled up, twisting and turning with the glow of the LCD lighting up my face. They all wanted a go after that and now it's become a regular sight to see my work collegues cursing at mario or tearing out hair on Tetris. I've recently taken to playing a borrowed copy of Cannon Fodder on it, but it's so hard to keep the gameboy to myself now that I don't have a chance to play the thing!
It's amazing how a machine that small, and that old (in technology stakes) can make for such portable fun. Rest assured that I'm already saving for a gameboy advance!
