wish I had pictures of my old 3ds still. I was in a terrible car accident years ago where i lost control of the car, it rolled 3 times and I Was ejected from the windshield. Long story short, i pronounced dead on the scene, yet i somehow came back to life, and removed my own white sheet from my body asking everyone what happened, was rushed to the hospital and taken care of.

Later I found out the car had a small explosion and went up in flames. 90% of the things I had in that car didn't survive. The only things that did were my laptop in which i had to replace the screen (still do, its sitting in the storage room somewhere) and my OG 3DS. The top cover is burnt, bottom was burnt, screen had some scuff marks on it, yet the damn thing still worked. Those things are built the last, the charger wasnt though lol.

eventually over time I decided to retire it (it sits somewhere right in a box stored in my storage room, still able to work) and replaced it with the XL.

Holy hell! I'm happy you survived. That is just crazy.

Damnit Dave, why'd it have to be this way.

Really though I wish my DS Lite had been this durable, hinge cracked and it's basically useless :/

Same thing happened to me.
I chucked it. It was a pain in the ass to hold up right.

OP: This 3DS got a little charred and somehow still works!
mgs2master2: Oh yeah? Well I was once pronounced dead and came back to life.

Good Lord. Best thread hijack I've read in awhile.

yep lol, still relevant but hijacked too.

It's seen fire, and it's seen rain. Has it seen sunny days that it thought would never end?

You just got me in trouble at work because I was laughing so hard. Bravo!

 

[Revolutionary]

Why couldn't they give the same attention to the damn shoulder buttons? Those things stop working after a year or two.

Still pretty crazy that it still works though!

That almost happened to me 14 years ago
The car rolled over . And I was thrown away from the windows and I instantly lost consciousness
Everyone thought I was dead because there was really big scar from my forehead and my leg deformed
Anyway,I survived.and the game boy colors survived too
