I'm suprised they haven't put gameboys in museums. Those things were the shit.

Hey don't group me with this guy, I take offence. :colbert:.
I'm not apathetic towards a kid who died at Christmas.
I'm having all my possessions destroyed in the event of my death.
[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;27085580]Yeah, lets throw a perfectly good $100 piece of electronic equipment in a box with a dead kid who can't drive and then bury it under 6 feet of dirt and shit.
This is why our landfills are so full because shit heads like this kid's parents are so eager to throw shit away for no god damn reason. And then they get all upset when someone who could actually use it decides they should save the planet from dealing with more fucking garbage.
Also nice appeal to emotion.[/QUOTE]
its a gameboy. it will either stay with the kid or be in the garbage in 6 months. think about it at least in a 100 years people can dig him up and see how cool his generation is (this is of course assuming that the gameboy still works)
[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;27085376]I'm sure that guy would have gotten more use from that Gameboy than the dead kid. People need to get the sticks out of their butts.

All your posts are fucking awful, like I am not even exaggerating. You always post inflammatory shit and you're just so fucking bad.
wow that's just plain fucked up. How the fuck do you muster the courage to do something like that?

The Gameboy most certainly did...

Some sociopath you are then.

how desperate are you for attention
If he lost control and died from a crash on snow in an SUV, he must have been going way too fast.
[QUOTE=Van-man;27084660]If it can't even handle snow, then what's the fucking point of a SUV?
Jesus.[/QUOTE]
Many SUV's are actually quite awful at being anything more then a huge tank you drive between home and a kid's soccer practice.

hey do you know how long it would take to get your post count up if you used your brain for every or most posting?
[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;27089638]except most of the people who stole from tut's tomb stole it to sell it[/QUOTE]
King tuts tomb is famous because it was untouched by grave robbers. Almost everything they found is in a museum. But I feel sad about the kid.
I think it was a horrible act but agree when people say that he has no use for it anymore. It's like people that are buried in heaps of jewellery, why not give it to relatives instead of leaving it underground with a rotting corpse?

depends how smart you are
One question: why did the kid have a gameboy in the first place? They've been pretty much outdated for nearly a decade by now (if you count the GBA), so why would anyone keep a gameboy anyway? Were they too poor to buy a more modern handheld like the DS or PSP? Did he keep it for the sake of nostalgia? Or maybe it [I]was[/I] a more modern handheld and a family member or the reporter just called it a gameboy because they don't keep up with video games (not that I'm saying they're ignorant. I'm just saying they didn't really care enough to get the name right).

I liked how you stopped posting,
Sometimes, it's just not morally right to to take something that isn't yours, especially if it's a dead individual.
Have some moral guidelines and respect, theirs a fine line between practical and borderline psychotic.

I still have my original Gameboy. Why? It was amazing.

it might've been important/special to the guy.

The DS has been out 5 years, not a decade.
Jesus christ how hard is it just to steal a gameboy from somewhere that hasn't got a corpse? I'm sure there are a lot more gameboys that aren't in caskets, than there is gameboys buried with dead kids.

Sentimental value. People like to think that burying someone with the things they held dearest will somehow make a difference. It's not so much for the person being buried as for the people left behind to feel at peace with the situation.
What three games did he steal? Were they any good?
how pathetic
You'd have to be pretty desperate to steal from a dead person.
