Ever play portables when your on the toliet?

[Richter Belmount]

hmm I wonder if anyone would ever leave the john when nintendo ds comes out.

[Lone_Monster]

Of course. It's more entertaining than reading.

[-hellvin-]

I find it slightly disturbing. I've never tried it and probably won't. Dunno why I feel that way. I always grab a game or guitar mag instead and read.

[tholly]

occasionally, but for the most part i read gamepro or nintendo power on the toilet instead.

[charitycasegreg]

It only takes me 1 1/2 minutes on average to shit so I never do anything but shit.

[davidbrit2]

That's nothing. I use my laptop in the bath tub. Just ask the IRC guys. Ha ha.

hmmm..i recently got a wireless network set up in my house...maybe ill have to take my laptop to the toilet with me.

[Ed Oscuro]

@ Topic question: Nope, but I'm eating dinner and browsing the forums at the same time. Now that's sick! LOL

[Querjek]

I try to spend as little time on the toilet that I can to have as much time availible to enjoy playing games.

[Richter Belmount]

as for myself doom plus gba my best friend >.>

[Escape•From•Jenny•Island]

Many hours have gone in to playing Kirby's Star Stacker and Block Ball while Squeezing out many hours of food consumption wastes :)

[Pantechnicon]

I would estimate that 75% of the time I invested in playing and beating the Final Fantasy Legend series for Gameboy was on the can... :embarrassed:

Ditto for Gameboy Link's Awakening, Warlocked, Metal Walker and Crystalis.

:embarrassed: :embarrassed: :embarrassed:

I've actually thought about providing for the benefit of our frequent houseguests a bathroom-dedicated Gameboy with, say, Tetris or Dr. Mario as an alternate amenity to my wife's old stack of Ladies Home Journals. Just make you sure you wash your hands, m'kay?

[sporkster]

No, I don't think I'd ever come out if I did LOL

[Kamisama]

I only played on the toilet a few times... nothing for me :P
though my mother played tetris for a very long time many years ago :)

[jerkov]

Not all the time, but when I'm really involved in a GB/GBA game I will.

Ever since the first GBA Castlevania came out, I always said that the GBA series was as close as you could get to playing Symphony of the Night while taking a shit.

[Darkness X]

Yes, I either read a videogame mag or play my GBA while taking a shit. ;) I've often thought about hooking up a 13" tv in the bathroom, so I can play a console as well.

lol

[zektor]

No man....no...

I'm very clean when it comes to my systems...even making my friends wash their hands before playing! I will however leave a Gamepro in the can for toilet entertainment! :)

[NE146]

Man that's what portables are custom made for! :D The only other place I'd play the GBA is lying in bed before passing out and even that's iffy since I can play consoles on the tv there.

[Jibbajaba]

This might sound sick but whether or not I bring my GBA into the can depends on how long I think Im going to be in there. Some shits take only 2 minutes and others take 10 and I can usually tell which it's going to be. Also if I'm in the middle of a game then it definitely goes in there with me no longer how long I think I'll be in there.

[gamergary]

Most of the time I read a game magazine or a book but if I don't feel like stopping a game I'll just play it on the can.

[Bratwurst]

This is exactly why I buy my GBA stuff new only.

[LazingBlazers]

LOL Ya know, after reading this topic that makes a lot of sense.

[Oobgarm]

Just don't drop this one, as I no longer have the hook-up. ;)

I have peronally never used a handheld whilst being on the toilet. Nintendo Power, baby. That's why I have backup copies. \m/

[DigitalSpace]

The only portable I've ever owned was a Game Gear back in the day, and I never played that on the john. In fact, I don't think I'll ever play any portable on the john - too gross for me. :puke:

However, this thread reminded me of a letter someone wrote to Game Informer a year or so back about how he had a bedroom with a bathroom, and he had his TV and Gamecube set up so he could play it while sitting on the john in the bathroom (using the Wavebird, of course). And one day, his Wavebird fell in the toilet. LOL

Wasn't that the basis of a Nintendo commerical once (sans controller dropping)?

Yeah, it was. I thought the kid was also eating supper later in the commercial, too... and I don't think they showed him washing his hands. LOL

I think George Carlin said it best:


I never wash my hands after using a public restroom. Unless something gets on me. Otherwise, I figure I'm as clean as when I walked in. Besides the sink is usually filthier than I am. I'm convinced that many of the men I see frantically washing up do not do the same thing at home. Americans are obsessed with appearances and have an unhealthy fixation on cleanliness. Relax, boys. It's only your dick. If it's so dirty that after handling it you need to wash your hands, you may as well just go ahead and scrub your dick while you're at it. Tell the truth. Wouldn't you like to see some guy trying to dry his genitals with one of those foced-air blowing machines that are mounted four feet off the ground?

I know that's not *exactly* the same thing, but it applies. It's not like I'm in there with my SP in one hand and trying to do my business with the other, and I'm making a mess all over the place and getting it all over the SP and everything. Really, unless you do something that I don't, when I go to the bathroom, the only thing I use my hands for is to unzip my pants and pull 'em down until after I'm done. And when I'm done, I put the book or SP or whatever down until I get up and wash my hands. And yeah, I always wash my hands, but I completely understand what Carlin is saying too.

[Richter Belmount]

:o wow everyones really divided on this issue alot of tension

[NE146]

I actually wipe my ass with the SP
