    Long story short: Is there anything a 24 year old can do that is cool enough to balance out replaying Pokemon Red and Blue?

    Walk around dressed like Kevin Stewart at all times.

    And if you're EV mining then no, there is nothing you can do.

    I already feel better because I don't know what that means.

    Does it still work, like that Game Boy that got scorched during a firebombing on some U.S. Army barracks during the first Gulf war, or that one some kid left outside all winter and worked good as new when he found it in the spring that I remember in a letter a kid wrote to Nintendo Power?

    If so, it's a testament to Nintendo's product testing.

    And the Game Boy perceived, its time had now come.

    Game Boys lasts forever. I'll hand mine, from the 90's, over to my grandchildren in 2000-and-something

    I recently dug out my sister's original Gameboy that I won for her (through a Cap'N Crunch 3D contest) back in 90/91.

    It's batteries hadn't been changed in easily 15-17 years and to my great surprise, they hadn't exploded yet (unlike so many of my POTF2 toys, alas).

    Not only are those things made of Nintendium (the strongest substance known to man), they apparently counter the effects of time itself on electro-chemical reactions.

    mine is blue. the thing about the batteries brings to mind that the ones in my unit are old and are probably really corroded. i'm gonna go lick 'em.
