Exercise Your Wrist, Power Your GBA?
The Hong Kong-based videogame store Lik Sang, whose (now unrelated?) company of the same name have been clashing with Nintendo over Gameboy 'backup devices' recently, have showcased another very cool Asian game-related gadget on their site, the SP Mini Winding Charger Handle. According to the manufacturer, "By winding handle to power the [Gameboy Advance] SP console, winding the handle for 8 minutes can play the game for 15 minutes, no need the battery. Human Power!" So you can rotate the miniature handle to power your GBA in handheld-related emergencies, and we refuse to make any obvious jokes at this time.
WHY!! Is emergency game boy power worth the 10 minutes of wrist stress? Get another damned battery.
All Troll + "offtopic" mods are meta moderated as "Unfair", because you abused the system.
The last thing I want to think about while "exercising my wrist" is my Gameboy.
oh man - you know you've got a troll-ific article headline when even the "must...stop...jokes...too...obvious..." jokes seem too obvious.
Wow. Glad I've spent all these years improving my stamina.
"Derp de derp."
Now, if there was a Gamegirl, then we can talk...
Lik-Sang will also provide a velco mod for your GB to attach the GameBoy to the palms of their Winding Handle Charger customers. "We were very surprised at how many of these customers had the right amount of hair on their palms to make the velcro mod work."
Maybe they would spend more time outside if they had to work for every minute of their game time!

Now I can harness the power of my frequent and vigorous masturbation sessions! My hands and penis will together form an ENERGY PRODUCING POWERHOUSE rivaled only by the output of the local electric utility!
Why, entire neighborhoods, nay, entire CITIES will be demanding a share of the MEGAWATT output created when palm meets shaft in an orgy of solo-sex extacsy.
I better start practicing, my technique needs to be in tip-top shape, my stroke perfect, my concentration unmatched.
Finally, an invention that takes advantange of my unique accomplishments and skills.
most of us nerds don't need any more wrist excircise, thank you. Although it was a great idea to harness the one muscle capable of carrying its own weight in most nerds...

I bought my Gameboy so that I would have something to do instead of exercise my wrist.

But, if you had a foot petal you could charge and play at the same time.

I can't see how this would work for regular games, but if they put porn on the Gameboy, it'd be a surefire hit! Er, quite literally.
but I can see the use of it. How many times I run out of battery power and think, how am I gonna solve this? No battery switching (certainly not in the sp since it's embedded, you recharge it with an adapter!) cause you are not a saveable point, what to do? Try to make it back and die horrible!
However most games thought of this, so it shouldn't be that much of a problem, but still a help after all.
Why not make it a kinetic charger though? So when you move the gameboy it gets charged, that would help...In stead of jumping higher you get extra energy!

So next time you're going camping for a week and can't take all that nature, just get the solar charger and enjoy some quality Advance Wars 2 time without having to watch all that annoying nature.
