Bringing your DS to work/school

[DarkAura]

Where is the option "Bring it for my bathroom break"?

I guess that can go under the "I bring it just for reassurance" option?

I take it out during my breaks when I don't have anything important to do on my laptop or work. I leave it in my bag while I'm commuting because I get the thing greasy enough without touching the nasty poles.

 

[Jei]

Nowdays I don't bring it anymore, but I used to bring it to classes and play every moment I could.

I find it weird that a certain teacher would always be annoyed at the fact that I played games while his class, but he didn't care about the noisy people who can't stop chatting and make it difficult to focus on the actual study... Because I still heard him and replied when asked, I didn't use any headphones at class, so it wasn't that I wasn't paying attention to it (used to play Picross and other games that don't require much mind into it, anyways).

Limited people.

I always have mine at work and play during lunch or mini-breaks

. I get comments about it all the time... Plus some strange looks

But I don't care....

my main problems of leaving it at home or not playing with it are:

1)what ppl think. since i'm 24 and ppl at my age dont play usually ...
2)afraid of theft, maybe a thief gets intrested and ... (or mugged)
3)concentration, i'm not concentrated when outsied, maybe cause of ^ reasons.

so i found mostly reading and studying! and my DS is my console too, since dont have tv and my ps2 is in its box!

yeh i have my ds beside me constantly, i have music on it so i listen to it from there, go moonshell lol. works great, then on breaks go to the gaming. glad work allows us to have these. also i'm 23 and so many ppl my age play these things. they love the download play and everything it can do

I bring my DS and play it on and off for most of my 12hr shift when on days. When on nights I bring my 360 and play it anything from 6-10hours.

WHAT IS YOUR WORK?

well im 32.(other guys in my work of a similar age ,have on or a psp. and if they don't , they wish they did) i take it to work to play on breaks. i play when i get home, since the wife doesn't want a xbox setup. so the ds is perfect.

 

[CockroachMan]

I'm a security officer at the biggest commercial incinerator in UK/Europe.

Awesome! Gamer at heart, right there. Do you guys also have a comp, so you can go on GBAtemp and stuff?

 

[pasc]

Who needs a comp if he has got a DS ? ^^

I bring it to work and play with it at lunch, i get an hour lunch, so i get to play with my DSL for about 45 minutes.

 

[jaxxster]

i bring mine to work, hardly get a chance to play it tho so it just sits in my locker all day. I dont really wanna play it on the bus incase i look like a nerd or sumin lol. It's good to have on those boring lunch breaks tho, nothing beats picross or tetris.

 

[amptor]

I never brought my DS to work, it looks wayyyy too nerdy/kiddie. I used to bring my PSP but could only just barely use it during lunch. The boss is around too much and a game system is just underfoot. After my coworker and I demonstrated it to the boss, I pretty much quit bringing it because I felt the boss might think we were playing it all day even though he said nothing.

 

[Cairpre]

I'm way to busy when I'm out to even think of playing my ds. I'd always have it in my bag though (I keep everything in there).

 

[Rulza]

I leave it at home but after reading this thread i'm thinking about bringing it to school. Guess i won't have time to play on my short breaks, but you never know when the classes are cancelled

Bring it for reassurance.

If someone trys to steal my DS, I'm gonna fight with them.

Actually, it'd look pretty stupid fighting over a handheld... I'd probably lose face in front of every girl.. Meh.

At least it didn't happen yet.

Not really. Its the principal of the whole thing. The DS is yours and you should be willing to fight for wat is yours. Hell you might end up with even more girls lol

 

[DarkAura]

True dat. I would chase the dude down, and then call the FBI.

Or at least the administrators at my school.
