Over the weekend I took a trip up to Vernon Valley with a couple of peoples. And during the little road trip up one of them busted out a Game Boy Color another a DS Lite. Oddly enough, everyone in the van was more drawn to the 1998 strawberry GB Color than the shiny white DS.
It’s not like the older version was somehow better than the newer, like in the Star Wars series. (HAN SHOT FIRST, GOD DAMN IT!!) I mean, that thing is still a piece of crap with a screen so dark that I couldn’t see what I was playing even in direct sunlight, but a classic is a classic.

What was more surprising was the reaction of the owner of the GB Color when he saw the DS Lite. You know that question that gets asked often, “What would someone from the past say if they were brought into the future and saw all the technology that we have now?”
Well, apparently living a super deprived childhood, this was the first time he ever saw a Nintendo DS.. “THE SCREEN IS SO BRIGHT!!” and “OMG, IT’S LIKE A PORTABLE SUPER NINTENDO!!” were just a couple things exclaimed during his futuristic experience. He had to be constantly instructed to, “Stop tapping the top screen. Only the bottom is touch.” I held back on telling him about the soon to be 3DS, cuz i didn’t want his head to asplode.
i know she’s not the one that travelled through time, but who the fuck cares?
