Do you play your handheld on public transport?

cornaljoe · Oct 4, 2006

Public transit is the reason I got into handheld gaming. My GBA and GBA SP always went where I went. Now my DSL is the same. I never owned the DSPhat it was too big and I knew they were gonna make it smaller so I waited. My rides are always 1 hour or more so they get plenty of play.

oh, dont get me wrong; i still play. just not popularly if you konw what i mean

I play it in public... there's nothing wrong with that. I play it at school after lunch cause I have about 40 minutes...
But yeah... M3 Lite MicroSD it awesome, it is completely flush with the DS Lite, and I love my DS Lite

Subway rides ARE noisy and it's no use playing DS if the train is crazy crowded or even if you don't have a seat. Umm getting mugged is always at the back of my mind, so I prefer playing on a bus. I'm 17 and have no qualms. Don't care.

My train stop is the First D train stop. so its always empty. so i take the train a Few Stops once it gets stuffy i put it away.
As for mugging. i got mugged but he had a knife and i had a Stungun. (accdentally got the lady to the left of me too. 500 dollar law suit)

what's wrong with playing on public transits? I take the train to Los Angeles every week to see my gf practically (saves much more gas and time, with rush hours and ridiculous traffic) and I always have 2 hours to kill. Why not play some games and listen to some music on moonshell.

I don't, I just like to play it on the toilet and in my bed. I take it with me when we're going on some trip, but not on everyday transport.

Hmmm... i'm a little reluctant to buy second hand now

I'm tempted to create a new thread....

"Do you play your handheld on a toilet?"

I only play with my Gameboy Micro in public

The DS only in planes or when there are other players to Wiifi with..

Veho · Oct 4, 2006

I don't play games, but I watch dpg movies in Moonshell. The bus ride to college lasts exactly one anime episode, so I can watch one season per week

Teun · Oct 4, 2006

I was once on the train with 2 friends, we were playing minigames, and there was this guy breathing in our hair the whole time because he wanted too see it.. It annoys me, but it's also funny.. Hehe

berlinka · Oct 4, 2006

It will be the LAST THING I will ever do, playing in public. While I have a weak spot for portable gaming, somehow I want go playing on a train. I like a good solid piece of privacy while gaming! When I was young I remember playing my Gameboy on the beach though...those good days are gone..

Pochi · Oct 4, 2006

Yes yes and yes...
I have more than 3 hours of public transport everyday to get to my job... (I know it's crazy, and it's not even a job I like...actually I hate it... but never mind...) and what would I do if I don't play my DS?!? Sleep? Hmm Ok. Looking at pretty girls is nice too, but I try not to give them too much hope

So I'm playing my DS.
But I choose the games, it's either the ones that really represent a big challenge when you're standing up, stuck in a crowd, in a train which has Parkinson, like Trauma Center; or the games which make me look like a total psycho stuck in a geek world : like Project Rub, I love the look of people when they see me blow on my DS like a mad man... Of course, you can have both at the same time : "Ouendan" (and there, everybody lets you a security perimeter because at first your look really focused as if you were disarming a bomb and then without any reason, you really look like a maniac scratching a poor little plastic device with something which can be used by the terrorists to hijack a plane...)

I will in say, an airport/plane, a long bus ride, or something similar, but I would never use it on the subway, or in a bus-station, basically any place you are liable to get mugged.

laptop and handheld going be ban on some airport/plane..

PURPLEMUSTANG · Oct 4, 2006

I have my own car thank god,but I would never use my ds on PT as I will get an onslaught(spelling) of questions and people telling me to let their kids play.
But once the coast is clear :Castlevania here I come!

With 4-5 hours to kill I tried playing Gameboy on the beach this summer. Didn't last long; I took the gathering of condensation under the screen as a sign that it wasn't such a great idea...

Yes.

No.

Why should I tell you?

You crazy?! I'll get mugged!

It's uncool to be seen playing a handheld.
