Today's Kids React to the Original Nintendo Game Boy

[Eddie Teach]

I enjoy things that surprise me. Online. Not so much IRL.

The Gameboy thing reminds me of something that happened when I was a kid.  My parents owned a campground in central PA near Penn State and alot of the campers were actually white trash hicks who lived there for most of the year (the campground was closed in the dead of the winter... no idea where they went at that point).

Anyway, one time my brother and I were up there and we were sitting on a bench playing with a Gameboy.  These two hillbilly kids came up to us and were like "Whatcha doin?"  My brother showed them the Gameboy and their jaws dropped.  "A... Game.... boy?  WHOT THE HAYULL?"   It was like they'd seen a UFO or something.

Explains some of the UFO sightings in the US. You were aliens.

Link is broken but I appreciate the effort and love the reference.

Not likely.  While I do like Reese's Pieces, I really hate phoning home.

Strange as it showed up for me, no problem.

[The Brain]

Only Kentucky internet seems to have this problem.

Is it: coal powered?

And they were coal rolling it at the time.

We don't believe in clean energy 'round these parts, son.

[Norgy]

Neither does Norway, but we try to look like we do. 

[MadImmortalMan]

I thought it was kinda lame back then too. It was enough of a hurdle that when my brothers were using the NES or SNES I would read a book instead of going to the GB.

You guys are screwed once we figure this clean energy shit out.  Guess you'll have to go a-viking again.
