One of the
greatest Nintendo creations was the Zelda game watch. Even though the
features of the games were quite limited, I cannot even begin to tell you
how much time these watches could kill, especially during a droning math
class lecture.
Professor: "Roger, what are you doing there?"
Me:
"Shut up! I'm trying to kill a bat damnit... er... I mean, I'm just
checking what time it is."
Professor: "Oh really? Then would you care to explain to the class why
you've been 'checking what time it is' for the past hour?"
Me:
"Goddamned bats! The Tri-Force is mine motherfuckers! What? Oh yeah, what were you saying?"
Ok, so some
teachers caught onto my secret gaming adventures faster than others. I'm
sure it didn't help that I often forgot to turn the sound off, which
of course interrupted the teacher's lecture with the constant "beep beep boop beep boop beeps!"
