Poll Handheld consoles in public (266 votes)
This question in the past has been beaten to death but it recently came into my head again with recent experience. I made a mistake at my new job, I agreed to play the new Monster Hunter game with a group of coworkers. They are clearly very into it and my experience with those games is limited. at best. To practice I bought a New 3DS and a copy of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Because I don't have that much time, I thought because I have a hour to kill on the bus ride into the city every day for work, I would just play it there. But today I felt self-conscious about it all of a sudden. I'm a grown-ass man, well I try I guess, and I am holding a video game console trying my damnedest to not drop this motherfucking egg again and I feel silly and self-aware. Shouldn't I just have a mobile phone out instead? Do I really need this whole other device?
Now obviously this is a biased pool of people and I have pulled out a 3DS at PAX before because, yeah of course that's almost expected. But the Seattle Convention Center and California public transit are two very different places. Opinions?
