Wasting Money

Nintendo Gameboy Advance SPI’ve never owned a portable electronic game system, although I’ve always had a small desire to have one (damn commercialism). So recently, I decided to look into buying a Nintendo Gameboy Advance SP, which costs around $90 in Canada.

I considered other popular, portable choices: Sony PSP is too expensive and fragile-looking; the dual-screen Nintendo DS would probably have games too complicated or confusing for my simple brain.

The Gameboy has been around the longest; there are a billion games available for it. The first game I’ll probably get for it is Tetris, although I’m open to recommendations. I have no patience for games that require a manual or have annoying puzzles like mazes. Here’s a list of games that pique my interest:

    Do you want it for its portability, or to just have some games to play? If you just want to play games, just play em on the puter.

    I *may* have about 2200 of my own gameboy advance games backed up on the computer that I would be willing to lend to you for the legal 24 hour demo.

    You’re welcome.

    Portability: when I’m driving the car or motorcycle; jogging; while I’m at the office working… you know.

    When did you suddenly die and win the lotto? Cause I ain’t seen one cent of what I’m unrightfully owed.

    Wanna buy my gameboy advance? I got like 2 games for it.. Advance Wars! and something else that I can’t remember right now! Some adventure puzzle game that I’m sure you’ll love to hate.

    I’ll be in monctown on the 26th for niall’s funeral. I mean, wedding. I could drop it off to you then, IF you can stand to wait all that time! Or I could send it in the mail, whatever.

    No thanks. I’d rather spend my hard-earned overtime on new, overpriced stuff. Save it for the kids. Yeah, those ones.
