This is a video of a gamer girl (A gamer girl, not THE gamer girl) testing the durability of NES cartridges by freezing them, putting them in the washing machine, dropping them off buildings, drilling them, fireworking them and running them over with cars. How do the games fair? You'll have to watch all 7:30 to find out! Kidding, they all survive. SPOILER: this was supposed to go before that.
