IT'S GAME BOY. GAME BOY. TWO SEPARATE WORDS. IT'S NOT ONE WORD. GAME BOY. IN JAPANESE IT'S ALSO TWO SEPARATE WORDS, "GEMU BOI" SO IT ISN'T EVEN ONE WORD IN JAPANESE. WHY IS EVERYONE PUTTING IT AS ONE WORD? IT'S TWO WORDS. THEY EVEN DISTINGUISH THAT IN LATER ITERATIONS. WHY DO YOU THINK THE GAME BOY ADVANCE IS CALLED THE GBA? IF GAME BOY WAS ONE WORD IT WOULD JUST BE GA. BUT IT'S GBA. BECAUSE GAME BOY IS TWO FREAKING WORDS.
Ahem.
Sorry. I notice that my good friend Htom managed to say it correctly though. So this was not directed at you!
I dunno. It's a pet peeve of mine. :| I get the same way with "alot" and "noone" too.

But awesome! It's weird that it's so old. I mean heck, I was born in December of the same year... Makes me feel old. Not to mention, those old Game Boys still work.

"What you see is a Gameboy that survived a barracks bombing during the Gulf War and currently resides at the Nintendo World Store in NYC. As is evident by the Tetris screen, it still works! Now that, my friends, is quality. This clearly proves beyond a shadow of a doubt one of my most recent theories -- that Gameboys really do save lives. Okay, so maybe it doesn't prove that at all. But it does prove that Tetris is a freaking awesome game doesn't it? Yes, that it most certainly does."
Cool huh? (Nate, I did not write this thing so don't blame me on spelling errors.)
