So long as there are fanboys roaming the streets (and electronics aisles), weird fetishes and unashamed overkill will still have their places, but it's not too often that a gaming addiction finds a home on Broadway. In The Game Boy, Matthew Gandolfo and Robin Rothstein's family-friendly musical, a well-taught lad dubbed Chase purportedly falls a bit too head over heels for his dear Game Boy, which presumably leads to all kinds of childhood development issues. According to the production notes, the kiddo is simply consumed in the pixelated universe, and strives to "always being the best," regardless of the real folks he ignores in the process. As predicted, this behavior eventually results in a life of loneliness and dread, probably forcing poor Chase to switch off the Nintendo handheld and seek out his long lost friends. Of course, his parents could have just shipped him over Amsterdam to remedy the issue, but if you're interested in seeing the outcome yourself, be sure to hit up the Vital Theater Company in New York City from now until April 22nd.
"strives to "always being the best"" - who's at fault here, the quoter or the quotee?
Someone post it on YouTube.
The heck with the musical. Where can I get one of those super-sized game boys?
That's not a super-sized Game Boy. It's a super-mini-sized human.
check out the band johnny classic and the classic johns for some hot music made with a gameboy
That big Game Boy brings back memories from my 8th birthday party in the back of a Gameswap USA. They had a giant GB back there that they used to use for promotional uses. http://www.flickr.com/photos/41114843@N00/421500998/
I'd rather wait for the sequel:
"The GTA sociopath"
