Remember that cool cousin you used to have? You know, the one that wrapped his Camaro around a telephone pole on New Years Day? Remember, before the accident, how he could always be found playing one of those old handheld football games; the ones with nothing but red LED lines as graphics?
Talking about those handhelds would be kind of fun, wouldn't it? Although, I'm not sure if the 'Force and I will stick to discussing ancient handhelds considering that the handheld market -- unlike your dead cousin -- has matured quite a bit since then.
So if you have any handheld shout-outs you'd like for us to tackle, just post 'em here and we'll cover what we can tonight. And don't forget, we'll be starting our weekly contest tonight! Be sure to download the episode tomorrow as fast as you can, so that you have a chance at winning some sexy* prizes.
[*Only the hosts are guaranteed to be sexy, prizes may vary.]

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
Contest:
1) Please avoid the cliche of talking ad infinatum about Tetris for Game Boy; I think everyone already knows.
2) Favorite cult classics? (i.e. stuff like Ninja Five-O for GBA)
I use it to crush rocks.
I still can't believe how many batteries the Game Gear took (And subsequently how quickly they died down).
but yeah, the Gamegear was my first game console, and i loved it. totally missed out on all of the bitching people had for it.
P.S. In regards to last weeks' show, Topher, if you didn't know, there's an arcade cabinet restoration place/arcade store about 1.5 minutes from your place, attached to Cockeysville Cue Club. Ever been there? It's called like, "Pat's Place", or something like that. Ever been there?
The only thing that sucked about the Game Gear was the battery life: the optional external battery pack looked like a giant dildo.
TV tuner, Master System Add on thingy, screen enlarger, etc, top of the line tech for it's time, battery life and price killed it.
Because this game is really suited for handhelds, and it played on the TurboExpress, arguably one of the coolest handhelds ever, any chance of this contest getting mentioned?
