The simple truth is that we
don't care why French magazine
Amusement shot small electronic devices through a wall. Oh sure, there are reasons supplied. Specifically, the gallery in question is entitled "
Overheating" and depicts several objects being hurled through a wall out of frustration -- including a
DS Lite. Yet, once again again, the
why really doesn't matter. The end result -- a flying, frozen mass of wood, sheet rock and plastic --
just looks cool.
And anyway, it's not like all of us haven't felt like hurling a console through the wall every now and then. Now we just have a handy visual reference.

Should have used the "after the jump" photo as the headline photo.
Hot chicks = Page views.

Amazing.
RagnarokSam @ Nov 5th 2009 1:43AM
also... somebody was obviously playing Contra 4.

This is 100x better than that "will it blend?" thing that got so old since yesteryear.
Orchard Pear @ Nov 5th 2009 1:41AM
Blasphemer!
"Will it Blend?" is timeless!
The Aquacharger (PSN:Elvenmonk) @ Nov 5th 2009 2:01AM
Made me want one of those blenders.
Levi (God Hand Defense Force) @ Nov 5th 2009 2:03AM
Are you kidding me Ridge?
"Don't breathe this!"
zanmushi @ Nov 5th 2009 9:32AM
"Dont' breath this" That was classic lol.
ihatereading @ Nov 5th 2009 6:31PM
Lol yeah, still isn't as bad as "Is it a Good Idea to Microwave This?" though. That shows really starting to go down hill.
Solace @ Nov 5th 2009 2:14AM
I believe your missing a tag joystiq which is "pwned"
ramuji @ Nov 5th 2009 2:50AM
How much you wanna bet that DS still powered on afterward?
esposch @ Nov 5th 2009 3:30AM
$50 says it doesn't.
If you look, it is completely in half and part of the internals are leaking out.
BTW, if by powered on you mean turned on at all (not necessarily functioned), then $50 says it does!
ramuji @ Nov 5th 2009 3:45AM
Hm? Does powered on have a different meaning than turned on?
Meh @ Nov 5th 2009 7:38AM
@esposch - you don't remember that Gulf War GameBoy then?

The gulf war game boy wasn't broken in half with a chip missing. Look at the damn picture before making stupid comments. There is no way that thing could work like the gulf war one did.
Territorial Oak @ Nov 5th 2009 2:07PM
Orion you're missing the point.
The idea was to tie into the long-running "Nintendo products are freakin indestructible" joke.

Yet nobody is whining like they did when Mega64 did that PSPgo joke? pfffft hypocrites. btw, im 100% in favour of people breaking things for my amusement, be that electronics or bones, i will laugh.
2nd Lieutenant Gunther (PSN: helghast102) @ Nov 5th 2009 3:43AM
*As long as it's not my own stuff though, then i would be pretty damn pissed off.
Cloud_ST @ Nov 5th 2009 3:55AM
Totally different man,that video was "supossed" to be funny,it was unfunny to a lot of people (me included) because it was just plain stupid in execution.
This on the other hand is a magazine article,they do crazy stuff for their photos all the time.
Dreaded Fear @ Nov 5th 2009 9:15AM
Sony fangirls get offended easily.
zanmushi @ Nov 5th 2009 9:37AM
Personal opinion: that Mega64 PSPgo vid was not that funny. Just made them seem pretentious. If they are unhappy with an electronic - then don't buy it.
Meh @ Nov 5th 2009 7:38AM
Jesus, look at all those scans.

THAT WAS....
Limited Mario Red Edition... lol
Mr Mobius - the wandering artist @ Nov 5th 2009 10:43AM
If they did that with DSi XL then would it be shooting a wall through the DSi instead?
Felipe @ Nov 5th 2009 12:02PM
a DS phat to DS Lite to DSi to DSi XL collision is in order.
gatotsu911 @ Nov 5th 2009 2:46PM
This is what happens when Bruce Banner plays Contra 4.
macabrearts @ Nov 5th 2009 4:00PM
relax, buddy. just because you've been playing n+ doesn't mean... oh. That was cool!
joeybeast @ Nov 5th 2009 4:15PM
Wait a minute,
what exactly did I win?
