Bomb-Damaged Game Boy Amazingly Still Works

bombed-out-gameboy

They don’t make gaming consoles like they used too. Do you think a PSP would be able to withstand a Gulf War bombing and live to tell the tale? That’s exactly what this Game Boy has managed to do.

Despite being blown into a burnt plastic mess this Game Boy still somehow maintains the ability to trudge along its gaming destiny, still playable and for the most part, surprisingly intact.

Final Fantasy Tactics Coming to PS3, PSP

fftactics

Call me biased, but my favorite game for the original PlayStation is Final Fantasy Tactics. You can imagine my excitement when I read that the ESRB has rated Tactics for release on PSN. It’ll be available for download for both the PS3 and PSP and I’m guessing it’ll be priced around $9.99. The real question is, will they fix the job point glitch that can be found in the original version?

Shadow Caddy is Relentlessly On The Ball

shadow-caddy

The Shadow Caddy is helpful in that “I’m always watching you” stalkerish sort of way. Rather than hiring some lazy and pathetic pile of human flesh to disappoint you with his sub-par caddying skills, the hands-free Shadow Caddy follows you effortlessly by tracking a transmitter which is simply snapped right onto your belt.

Plus, it really wants to make sweet robot love to your sister. And to do that, it has to earn the family’s trust. RoboRape is always a last resort. It’s one of Asimov’s rules of robotics, seriously.
