This time, it's a collection of accessories for the Game Boy, including good ones - like the Game Boy Camera and the Game Boy Printer - bad ones, and even a patented one that was aimed for use in hospitals.

    James destroying the Handy Boy on accident was one of the funniest things. The same when he smashes the lamp with the whip.
    He gets angry at the same things but when he has an actual reason to get angry, he acts so calm. They goes to show that James is quite the opposite of The Nerd.

    The device may seem silly, but the gameboy sedation device at 15:00 seems similiar to many contemporary Children's sedation devices: gamify a procedure and calm a patient before making them go under. They've especially helpful for children who are hyperactive. One similiar one I've seen make it seem like you're blowing into a balloon.
