Finger Lickin' GameBoy
On a recent research trip to Seoul, I discovered a business in the basement of the COEX mall that would screen any digital image onto a small device. They meant it mostly for mobile phones, but I couldn't resist the chance to re-cover my GameBoyAdvance SP. What would be appropriate? I had already picked up a Colonel Sanders charm from Harajuku - the little icon of cross-continental deep fat fry hanging off my Final Fantasy Tactics Advance delivery device. Searching for something to screen, it hit me immediately - carry out the metaphor. I asked them to wrap my device in a picture of fried chicken:   Now my GameBoy is finger lickin'. Mostly I'm happy because it makes me laugh to look at it. It actually turns out to be hard to find a good large picture of fried chicken online! One good enough for plastic screening onto the device. I tried getting close to the menus above the cash registers at KFC in Seoul, but that wasn't winning me any friends or good pictures either. I also found a picture of Bill Murray to make a Lost in Translation phone. Fun! Posted by justin at November 19, 2003 12:53 AM | TrackBackComments
haha how bizarre. If you ever get tired of it, though, how easy is it to remove? It would be funny to scan a briefcase image or maybe scan other consoles to make your GBA look like a mini-SNES or mini-Xbox (oxymoron). I would probably scan a picture of myself playing GBA so that it goes into infinity. :P Posted by: Draigon on November 19, 2003 01:05 AMThat is so cool Justin, I love it!!! And the KFC accessory thingy really sets it off. Nice job! Posted by: Liz on November 19, 2003 09:35 AMyou are a genius. Posted by: yi on November 19, 2003 12:15 PMNo, he is the Blogfather... Posted by: Fleischman on November 19, 2003 02:23 PMwouldn't wanna be sick n wanna play gba, cos it might make you lose yar lunch ;p n watch out for "big boned" people,.. u could get sued if they break their teeth on it... i think .. ;) Posted by: sven on November 20, 2003 01:23 PMFor relaxing time, make it Suntory time! Posted by: Jake of 8bitjoystick.com on November 20, 2003 02:03 PMThe timing for this couldn't be any better either. Apparently KFC has declared that fried chicken is an integral part of a balanced diet. Posted by: erick on November 20, 2003 05:48 PMOh my! That is just awesome! I'm speechless. I want one now (I guess that would be if I could afford one). Posted by: Monoboy on November 23, 2003 12:32 AMThat's like, ironic, right? Posted by: chrisb on November 23, 2003 06:29 PMI saw some "skins" like you described on ebay recently. They had them for ngage & SP. Looks like you can put KFC or something even more delicious and healthy on them. Posted by: doyleb on January 10, 2004 02:08 PMGuys, while the KFC thing is neat, it's not exactly new. Go to www.gbamod.com and you can order all kinds of skins. I currently have this one http://www.gbamod.com/itemdetails.php?PID=1387871407 Posted by: Dalthanas on January 25, 2004 03:01 PMGuys, while the KFC thing is neat, it's not exactly new.
