Game Boy makes the perfect home for papercraft
When our handhelds die, we tend to either put them up in the attic (our own little "console heaven"), or throw them across the room in a fit of rage, depending on the circumstances. Never are we as productive as Josh Burker, though, who made an awesome housed diorama with his dead Game Boy.
There's no big mystery to this beauty; it's simply a work of papercraft encased by a Game Boy shell (which Josh gutted himself). We know the papercraft is in color, so it's not an accurate artistic portrayal of the DS's portable ancestor, but the creativity and craft work put into this project are astonishing.
Hmm, maybe our broken Game Boy is still in the attic somewhere ...

There's a mushroom sitting on that "?" block that hasn't been hit yet. I do not consider this papercraft canonical.

You seem to forget about the "brick blocks" as I call them with hidden items. There could have been one two spaces left of the one with the mushroom over it!

Ah, but when those blocks are hit, they ALSO change. There are none of those in this scene.

I'm convinced my Game Boy will outlive me.

Man, that makes me want to go and pick up some broken handhelds and see what creative things I could come up with...

Why would you gut a handheld as awsome as the Gameboy to make that piece of crap? That's stupid.

His Game Boy broke... what else was he going to do with it?
Josh Burker @ Mar 5th 2008 12:26PM
That's right: the Game Boy was broken, so instead of throwing the whole thing out I got a little creative in my efforts. Don't be such a hater.... :P

Oh my bad. The post didn't say it was broken.
AnOffday @ Mar 5th 2008 2:48PM
Oh wait. I guess it was to be assumed. I see it now. My bad again.
