Apr 22 2009How To Pick Up Men: Nintendo In A Purse
Let's face it, there are few things in the world men respond more to than boobs. And fast cars. And vaginas. And beer. And fireworks. And dinosaurs. And guns. And meat. And meat guns. And sports. And power tool guns. Oh, and video games. So if you're a lady looking to score some attention from the lesser sex, but aren't ready to go topless (I urge you to reconsider), you may want to mod yourself a Nintendo purse.
Thanks to modder Jeri Ellsworth's creation, nerds everywhere finally understand the purpose of the purse. Hers has a built-in LCD and two velcro-on NES controllers for some on-the-go Super Mario Bros.
The guts of the purse are made from one of those system-on-a-chip deals that modders worldwide are so fond of, and the screen is just taken from a portable DVD player.
The system also has a Commodore 64 on a chip and some other basic computing capabilities. Which....is that Joust? ZOMG, Jeri, tell me you're in the DC area -- I'll meet you out for a drink! And not just to steal your purse. Okay, to steal your purse. Don't hate -- I look good with a manbag!

Thanks to Julian, who once dated a girl because she had an N64. Hey, nothing wrong with that.

i would NOT be embarrassed to carry that around, if people stop and ask me "why do you have a purse?" ill turn it over and said "why dont YOU have one?"

Well, at least it gives the poor saps left holding women's purses in the mall something to do while they wait.

19. Colby - April 22, 2009 10:25 PM
Wow thats awesome!
I wonder, and I can't believe I'm the first to ask, but can it play more than just Super Mario Bros or not?
20. Chen - April 22, 2009 10:36 PM
Worse design ever.
21. JJtoob - April 23, 2009 2:55 AM

seriously, any chick who is got one of these is marriage material.
esp if she's hot
25. Manda - April 25, 2009 12:05 PM
yes, neat, but not nearly large enough to carry my psp, DS, ipod, cell, portable hard drive and lip sticks.

@19:
Well, it can also play Joust (I say this because of the pic included in the article)... and you can mess around with a C64. Other than that I wouldn't be too sure.
ALSO I'm not the first and won't be the last. I must say this: she's incredibly hot for being a nerd of her calibre. Any relatively attractive female who can reverse engineer anything is totally HOT in my book!!!

"Everyone woman needs a screwdriver..."
I can only agree but who actualy does carry one, assuming we're not using the word screwdriver to replace dildo?
