Hasta La Gadget!

Has Nintendo of America fallen on hard times? Why else would the company make one of its most beloved characters (or, at the very least, the brother of one of its most beloved characters) take Windy City public transit? Oh, that’s right, the gaming giant has decked out the “L” train with ads for its new Super Luigi U title. The mustachioed plumber is riding the Brown Line in this Twitter shot, so be sure to be on the lookout for suspicious looking dinosaurs in the area (if you see something, say something). No word on whether he’ll be making house calls today.

Musing on a dystopian near-future where you really don’t want to see your fellow commuters, Sony Japan’s Twitter account just offered us the above image. Is this what’s going to happen when the likes of Sony and Google have managed to supplant our affection for smartphones with eyewear tech?

Mat: “We’re going to need more charging sockets.”
James: “Perhaps not the best time to be watching Unstoppable.”
Richard Lai: “You’re seeing this ad because your fellow passengers are also watching this.”
Tim: “Nice shoes.”
Steve: “We’ve arrived? I’ll just finish the movie while crossing this intersection.”
Dan: “Trainspotting? I haven’t seen a train in years.”
Jon Fingas: “Seeing where you’re going is so 2012.”
Brad: “We just can’t get enough of that amazing Galaxy S 4 launch event.”
Edgar: “Glass? Where we’re going, we don’t need Glass.”
Ben: “Where am I? What’s happened to my life? Oooh, a new episode of Deadliest Catch!”
Darren: “Geordi La Forge is all up in these royalties.”
Terrence: Blah, blah, bah, something, something, something, private porn watching.
Brian: “You guys are going to the X-Men auditions, too? Cool. Didn’t want to miss my stop.”
David: “Do you know where we are? Hmm, about ten minutes into the season finale of Game of Thrones.”
Jon Turi: “Victims of the Krazy Glue prankster all try to go about their day.”
Michael: “Sony says all your face are belong to us.”
Don: “Wow. This is just like being on a train.”
Myriam: “So those grab-handles double as VR glasses, right?

We’ve been known to strap on a few GoPro cameras in our day, but our efforts are merely amateur in comparison to this guy, who we can only presume is about to perform a stunt so extreme that no less than seven GoPro cams (and a DSLR) are required to capture it.

Don: “GoPro Hero.”
Darren: “Amateurs gonna hate.”
Billy: “I see your 3D and raise you another 5D. 8D is where it’s at.”
Jon: “I’m so liveblogging this. And Instagramming this. And…”
Brian: “Someone take a picture of my weird helmet thing! What do you mean you don’t have a camera?”
Brad: “Hey bullies! I’m now twice the four-eyes you thought I was in high school. What have you done with your life?”
Edgar: “From now on, you shall call me GoProusa.”
Tim: “Anybody have an SD card I can borrow?”
Mat: *BATTERY LOW*
Jamie: “Patent pending…”
Christopher: “A&E Presents Helmet Hoarders: The GoPro Edition“
Sharif: “HQ, are you seeing this?!”
Myriam: “Go-Go-Gadget GoPro!”
