Photo: Nintendo DS Blasted Through a Wall

- By - Source : Tom's Guide US

She'd make a great pitcher.

We've all had frustrating moments in gaming when we've wanted to throw something. Sometimes it's a handheld, and sometimes we really regret it if we have to buy a new one to replace it (and have to attend anger management therapy). But what if we had super human strength and could literally blast it through a wall?

The incredibly fashionable French gaming lifestyle magazine Amusement has a photo feature called "Overheating" that depicts what it would look like if we could throw our portable gaming devices through walls.

They should have used a Wiimote. Then people could see what their walls will look like after a few slips.

Guess that is better than having two left feet :)

Ha.
Thanks for these Toms.

Now, gimme better handhelds. How about a magnesium and carbon fibre PSP 4000? (With a 1GHz CPU, 256MB RAM, 32GB internal memory, higher res screen and better battery.)

That's the ultimate hardware test. Tom's HW should do these too especially on those very frustratingly slow netbooks.

I'm going to give some credit to the DS here. The phone just went through drywayll, the DS went through plywood and came through in just 2 pieces. $20 fix. Much cheaper than anger management.

My only question is, why? What purpose does this serve?

Amazing what these "photochop artists" can get away with today.

I'm sure MythBusters will want to test this.

There's an app for that too.

Nah, the foot's fine. Check out the lateral maleolis. It's in the right spot. The toes just look fun due to perspective.

To throw a DS through a particle board you'll need something more than a fast pitcher!

And the DS won't go flying through it like shown on the bottom pic!

It'll most likely be smashed to pieces before it even makes a crack in a particle board!
