I'm into a bit of everything. At the moment I only have a PS2 and a Gamecube, but I'm hoping to get a job soon, so I can start collecting more stuff. I'm a very big Super Smash Brothers Melee player, and I've been playing the game almost at a competitive level for a year now.
I'm here just to read/try to spread the word of gaming around, I've been just recently introduced to Destructoid, so I consider myself a newbie. I do however hope to become a regular in this community.
I've been a big fan of accessories. Those iPod arm bands, the wireless controllers for almost every game console, the cases in which you could fit every hand held thing, sure pile them on. Of course, we do have some stupid ones, and I'm pretty sure this is up there.
The Wind up battery gives a new definition of boredom, as if waiting for your batters to recharge isn't enough, now you can wind them up, manually. Isn't that what video games drive us away from? Manual Labor? I think winding this thing up might be as much fun as sleeping on a bed of nails.
Can you imagine sitting there, and then having the pleasure of watching someone furiously winding up a battery for their DS? I'd sure enjoy seeing that.
I have a goddamn radio that does this. I also have a flashlight that you have to "pump" for it to create electricity so you can use it. It's so FLIPPIN annoying.
