MOD EDIT: the thread has spiraled into madness. Click here for a summary post.

Ok, so I have this Gamecube.



It looks like this.

If I sell it, I'll get at most 20 dollars, but I've seriously asked friends to take it from me and no one wants it.

So I thought I'd ask SA: What do I do with this gamecube?

Assume I don't want to sell it and that I have all the talents of an average internet user. I also own a Wii, so using it for Gamecube games is not worth the electrical socket it needs.

Can you help me turn this thing into a useful item again? Something I can have in my home and use as something other than a paperweight?

Do one of these funny things and post the results or I will ban you.

That's it. I'm no Abe.

And make sure it's a funny thing. So no cheating by just picking "throw it in the trash" something that takes a bit of effort and has humorous results please.

You have until I get bored of waiting.

Maybe a gamecube-bong would ease their suffering even more. :colbert:

God, I loved the Gamecube. For a system that wasn't considered that successful, it was a lot of fun. Especially for multiple people, which is the only thing Nintendo does right these days.

Melt it into some fantatstical Salvadore Dali style sculpture and sell it as modern art - or have it as an interesting talking point on your coffee table.

Alternatively, a house for a tiny mouse/squirrel :3:

Find the world's biggest idiot, slap a crude sticker on it that says "Project Cafe Prototype DO NOT RELEASE TO PUBLIC", sell to said idiot for a ludicrous price, profit.

But really, give it to a charity group. I actually feel a little bad now for selling mine through Amazon Marketplace.

Keep it at the bottom of your closet. In 20 years when you have children, if they ever act bratty, take away whatever gaming system may be planted behind their eyeball and give the Gamecube to them as punishment. Tell them cavemen created it.
