Just wanted to share my latest use (perhaps misuse..) of time with those who might appreciate it. The spray paint job is a little shoddy, but it's the first time I've ever painted a Gameboy.. what can I say. Enjoy.

Whoah... it's like I'm back on 8bc again.
But seriously, it's an OK paint job I guess, if you're going for the "covered in grease pencil" look. And an interesting way to maybe recycle an Xbox controller badge and buttons maybe. Still, I'm sure after a few attempts you can make one that looks better.

This happened the moment users were allowed to name themselves after Pokemon.

I'm sorry.. I didn't mean for it to be painful..
Yeah, I had an old busted controller, lying around, and decided it would be kind of fun. Next time, though, I will be sure to use much less clear coat.

Things like this belong in a blog or in a "For Sale" thread, not in an entirely separate thread just for this. If you want to show off your work, get a portfolio going and start doing commissions or something like that like Thretris does or whatever. Whole threads devoted to what a Gameboy looks like are a waste of server space.

Agreed.
