I just can't understand why any sensible person would want a portable video game system, especially one with a price tag like these. Sure, it's cool for the 12 hour roadtrip I guess, but aside from that it just seems so fruitless. I mean, I never got into video games. I have always felt that everybody I know who is really into electronic gaming is just the biggest fucking toolbox and I would never let myself become anything like them.
Listen, point in case. Not too long ago I was on the subway going to my parents house and a man got on the train, probably in his late 40's. I hate to stereotype but he was totally the "yes, I still live with my mom" type. He had a GameStop Tshirt on, overly sized glasses, bad skin and long, dirty, unkept hair. Total fucking nerd right? Yeah. Well he was so fixated on his portable gaming device, only to look up for a second and drool over the cute girls on the train like an infant with cerebral palsy, that he missed his stop twice over, and was cursing himself for it.
For a split second I thought it was cool that you could take photos with it, but then I realized the person who posted the photos they took actually took pictures with their camera of pictures they took with their PSP. How fucking pointless is that?
I just can't rationalize spending that much money on what is simply another distraction that would keep me from doing what I need to do when I am out, actually trying to accomplish it. I'd just hate going through life going through checkpoints, and spending so much money to do it.
Just my .02, carry on...
