Ghosts of video games past! When they first began to go handheld. Were these expensive back in the day? Were kids who had them considered cooler than everyone else? Loving the nostalgic packaging.

So, OK, I guess it's time to post a little content. How convenient that I am just back from #Copenhagen, my second visit. I was doubly blown away this time. Walked a ton, rented a Donkey Republic bikeshare. Kicked the tires from every angle. The verdict: that shit is REAL.
