You Will Be Able To Revisit The 90s With This Brand New Game Boy!

By Tanya |

After the crazy success of the little mini NES Classic that came out last year, a company has decided to continue bringing the nostalgia to the people who have demanded it. This time, it's with the original Game Boy!

That's right! A Game Boy that looks just like the original one will be coming stores by August! Excited? You should be!

       Giphy

There are a few differences from the original Game Boy. First, it isn't made by Nintendo. This little unit is made by Retro-Bit, but will work with your Nintendo cartridges from the original Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance.

Second, you won't need to steal batteries out of the TV remote like you used to in the 90s. This new Super Retro Boy is rechargeable through a microUSB that will last for about 10 hours.

Also, the Super Retro Boy is back lit so you won't need to pull out your old Light Boy - the light they made for the original Game Boy.

The unit looks pretty amazing and will be available for $80 in August.

How badly do you want one of these?

The True Story Behind "The Sound of Music" Is Even Better Than Whiskers On Kittens

By Jon
When Julie Andrews brought the sound of music down from the mountains and into our hearts, she brought with it a love for the real-life von Trapp family, who the story was based on. The movie follows the autobiography of the real Maria von Trapp, who was a nun that became a part of an Austrian family before the Nazi occupation in World War II. The film accurately portrays a lot about their lives and demeanor, but in Maria's published memoirs (that the film was based on) it is easy to see how much becomes simple Hollywood figment. Here are

10 Foods From Our Childhood We're Surprised Haven't Been Banned By Now

By Meg
Growing up, we were exposed to a lot of foods we probably shouldn't have been. We didn't necessarily have any of this "all natural organic free range sung to sleep by angels" food that people eat now. We ate what was given to us and didn't worry about the consequences. That being said, there were some pretty questionable foods from back then that are still eaten today, and we're not quite sure why. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying these foods should go away, I'm just saying I'm surprised they haven't. 1. SPAMEaterAs a general rule of thumbs, I

By Alex
Movies are supposed to entertain you. They are also supposed to elicit an emotional reaction out of you, whether it be: happiness, sadness, fear, joy, anger, contempt or any number of others. That's the great thing about movies and television, you can essentially do whatever you want because you are just telling stories, that is unless you do something that gets the masses up in arms over what you have created. Some movies are hit the big screen to such controversy that they actually inspired protests. Some were even banned in certain countries because they were deemed to be far
