It seems some kid so desperately wants a PSP he’s drawing some heart-string-tugging art, showing is slavish devotion to play a game that let’s you kill things with… stuff.
I honestly can relate. I only had an NES when I was younger. I really was wanting a Super Nintendo or a Playstation like the cool kids, and read up on all the cool stuff I didn’t have. When the first SoulCalibur came out, I was so psyched that I downloaded all the backgrounds and all the music from the game. But I never had a system to play it on, and I still haven’t played SoulCalibur I.
Anyway, looks like he got it now. Game on, man.

y’know. When I was a kid, and we hadn’t gotten an atari yet- I would go to the arcade, play videogames, and come home and “draw” games- sometimes the ones I played, sometimes stuff from my own imagination.
Mostly though, I liked to draw spaceship battles, like Star Blazers, and I’d draw a little line representing the laser, and when it hit a ship, it would make a little scribble to represent the “boom”, and when the ship was all scribbled out, it was destroyed. Naturally, bigger ships lasted longer in this game.
Then we got magnetic letters that stuck to the fridge- and instead of making words, the “A” became a space ship, the “I” became a laser, and the “H”’s became tie-fighters, and I’d make these crazy letter-magnet landscapes, space stations, and space battles.
