Even better! Smear hot glue on it, THEN paint it, THEN hit it with a hammer! Yes!

Or you could sell it. Or you could take it apart and make it a portable NOAC. Or you could sleep with it and have a GBA pillow! You could get a TV thing for it and use it as your TV. Other than that, I cant think of anything interesting you could do with it.

You could relocate the cart slot so that it comes out the front!

1 smear hot glue
2 paint
3 jump on it
4 throw at wife/kids
5 hit with hammer (the gameboy not wife)
6 feed sharp parts to dogs
7 feed remaining parts to cats
8 find the remains on the living room rug 1 week later
9 do as you will with the leftovers

If this was a thread on /b/, you'd say that you'd do whatever the next post ending in 66 said.

Ugh, no.... I had that GBA camera, and while the pictures were better than the original Gameboy Camera, the original is so much more fun! Go find one, they're like 3 bucks.
If you're looking at this post and it was made before 2008, just ignore it.

I should probably find something to do with my GBA as well. specially since the screen-protector is crap and i got a replacement for a GBA SP instead (everything always says its for the SP, I assumed the screen protector would be the same).
