I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.

I dont count my laptop because it is not for gaming anyway.

PS3 2015 (it was a gift though!)
Wii U 2012
3DS 2011 (I'm sure I bought it after the price cut)
DSi 2010
DS Lite 2009
Wii 2007
DS Lite 2006-05 (maybe? This one was stolen in 2008)
Memory not so good now.
PS2 2002-04
GBA 2000-02. Also had a GBA SP, probably 2003?
GBC and PS1 before I was born, so before 1998

Sheesh. Not very proud of all those handhelds. If I were my parents, I would have bought like half. Well, now that I'm older, I make better decisions.

Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention. I think the reason my parents were fine with so many handhelds was cause I didnt get a smartphone (new phone only for me) until 2013. Before then, I had crappy old phones or my mom's used phone.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.
