Random: Logan Paul Made A Table Out Of Game Boys, And The Internet Isn't Happy

The "Look how they massacred my boy" meme has never felt so contextually appropriate.

To each their own? I'm not a fan of these guys at all but people tend to go nuts over anything that they do.
If Sakurai did this then people would be glamouring all over him for it instead

Even if he had used broken gameboys, it's worth noting that most broken gameboys just need a good clean to get them working again. And if they are truly broken, it's usually not much work to get them fixed - especially now that there is a wealth of aftermarket parts being produced.

If you want the Gameboy aesthetic, there's a lot of cheap reproduction shells being made now. Those could have easily been used for a project like this.

Gameboy prices (and game cartridge prices) have increased a lot in the last few years. Doing things like this won't help that and will make it harder for people who actually want to play Gameboy to get one - and I'm also uncomfortable with the idea of destroying something that is no longer in production and only exists in a fixed limited quantity.

Looks like some art to me. Probably more art than the way most Game Boys are used. Like it!

i can't argue it looks cool, but so do, like, blood diamonds

Pretty cool table, probably a better use for the gameboys then all the ones collecting dust in some cellar.

It is wasteful, but I don't think people would be half as wound up about this if it wasn't Logan Paul...

@Zuljaras There isn't really good reason for hating on him more than any other celebrity tbh. People are mostly mad that he has continued to silence the critics that laughed when he set out in the sport of boxing. He wasn't supposed to get this far - not even close. He needs some more major matches to show he can hold his own and isnt a faker, but he is actually a pretty good boxer considering he hasn't been training since the age of 12, or something like that. The GameBoy thing is a non-story really. Not a fan myself by any means, but he is just another mouthy fighter that happens to have beaten the odds.

@smithyo I think filming the corpse of a suicide victim and posting it online is a good reason for hating him.

People are putting everything in those resin tables these days and this is no different than some collector hiding one away never to be seen again.

I don't like Logan Paul, but there is literally nothing wrong with what he did in this case. The end result looks great as well.

@RubyDevilNine look harder to find the unboring internet people. We are here when you know where to look

Who????? Another idiot with more money than sense. No doubt he has a following of sheep that give him money for nothing. Defend him to the hilt and claim him as a saviour. Cult like figures like this have and always will be a danger.

@Splodge wow. Is that what he did? And he still has a platform and followers? SMH.

@Stocksy mmmm, you might be over-exagerating this a bit. Paul is hardly a 'cult figure' i mean he makes his money from fighting - not from people 'throwing money' at him.

I really don’t like this at all, it’s like he’s learned NOTHING from seeing his Pokemon TCG videos turning both vintage and modern collection scenes into absolute dumpster fires.

If he's paid for those then I'm pretty sure he's free to do whatever he pleases with them. People get triggered over the most stupid things

@smithyo does he?!? How many pro fights has he had? I need to google it…. Boxers/MMA fighters make very very little money until they are proper lot respected and top of their game. Surely he is neither? If he is making loads of money from fights it’s nowt to do with his ability and more his “influencer/celeb” status no?

Hilarious though not surprising people are mad. So silly what gets people bent out of shape these days

I don't really care. He bought them, so he can do whatever he wants with them.

as much as I hate Logan for doing this (and Logan Paul in general), can you imagine if he did this but with rare games like: Tail Concerto (USA), Gotcha Force, Amazing Tater, Trip World, Haunting Ground, Red Sea Crossing, Little Samson, Panic Restaurant and so many more.

He ruins things for attention to make people mad and stir up controversy. Pokémon cards, boxing, and now game boys. Don’t fall for his crap. This is nothing but a “ain’t I a stinker?” Bugs bunny moment.

Twitter/NL getting worked like marks and giving Paul attention. It's exactly what he wanted.

Well, that and a cool table obviously.

I dislike the man as much as the next person, but to actually get offended by this? Go outside and touch grass

A bunch of miserable whingers on Twitter is not "The Internet" (thank god) He paid for them so he can do what he likes with them.

@nhSnork legend

I feel like they would've acted like this towards The Retro Future, but remember, this is Logan Paul.

The frame looks tacky and it doesn't need the light. But the effect of them in resin is cool. I don't know who he is, so can't comment there.

Yeah you could stick them in a display case just the same but they're his to do with as he wants. You gonna get mad at everyone who wrecked one of these editions as a child? It's a shame sure but it's not like there isn't a lot of ways to still play GameBoy games. They're objects and whilst our own are precious to us what others do with theirs is up to them.

Guys a total dbag but I mean 15 Gameboys ruined is not really that many in the grand scheme of things.

Looks meh anyway, especially with the lights. Not EVERYTHING needs LED lights, believe it or not.

i have no interest in internet people or this guy in particular, but making ugly crap with valuable things is gross. anybody saying "they made millions of them! you can buy them on ebay!!" clearly hasn't lived long enough to see change in their world.

as a finish carpenter, I can't think of anything more played-out than "pouring epoxy over X makes table."

@UglyCasanova 15 gameboys ruined accidentally, sure. ruining 15 gameboys to make a large, toxic raft of ugly garbage is pretty lame. maybe its not a large dent in the total number, but its well over one responsible person's normal allotment.

and yeah LEDs are super played too. i mean, have some dignity, people. its a shiny thing. 🙄

People react to it as if they're communists... we don't have common ownership on Gameboys >_> he could also dip them in acid, and he would have all his rights to do it

He knew perfectly well when he did this what kind of reaction he would get. That's why he did it. Logan Paul trades in notoriety, like a bad rapper who can't get enough attention with his skills so he courts controversy instead. It's his entire business strategy.

I don't like the guy very much - he gives me major trashbro vibes every single time I read about him - but I'm not going to get too worked up over the fate of 15 Game Boys. It's not like the guy made a table out of the Mona Lisa.

he's literally recycling garbage. I don't get the uproar?

On the face of it it's pointless destruction, literal vandalism. It's only not if something worthwhile is created in the process.

Most of the comments on Twitter aren't negative. Weird to frame this story that they are.

lets face it with most of these dying people that repair themuseually upgrade screen etc etc so nothing like the original. Its like game gears sega cheaped out on capacitators so now all are worthless junk unless you replace half the insides

Who is this Person and why does he destroy classics?

Stop making stupid people famous.

Twitter outrage is never news. Tell me when Twitter isn’t outraged, now that would be news.

It’s his property, he can do whatever the heck he wants with them. He could build a Gameboy bonfire 🔥 and roast marshmallows if he wanted. It isn’t anyone else’s business what he does with things he purchased with his own money.

It’s like people suddenly stopped believing in the right to own personal property.

And for the record, I think it looks slick. Not something I’d do, but then again I’m not a multi-millionaire.

I love how complete strangers think they have a say in how someone else spends their time/money.

As someone who builds things, great job is all I have to say.

Idk, looks pretty awesome to me. The internet gonna always cry about something 🙄

Oh boy if this was someone else it would cause a bit of controversy but not a lot but put Logan Paul doing something and it immediately cause a lot of controversy.
P.S I don’t approve of that one video he did so I’m not blindly defending him. Also can you just use a gameboy advance to play GBC games?🤨

I don't need more reasons to... dislike... this... person.

But you found another one and it was the headline on this page.

@Greatluigi You can. But the resolution is different and many purists aren't a fan.

The guy is an idiot, but it's is time and money at the end of the day, giving him any coverage/attention at all is the real crime here.

Not a fan of the guy, but it doesn't look like there's motherboards in any of those Gameboys, and most of them (possibly/probably all of them) are repro shells.

Just some dude flaunting his wealth again. I guess once you have that much "F you" money, you start to lose touch with reality and practicality.

Can't someone just take this table to the Cinnabar Lab and have the scientist restore these Gameboys from the resin?

If this was done by a random person, everybody would love it. You guys are acting like he stole your personal Gameboy after breaking into your house. At least he's doing something cool with them instead of them just collecting dust on a shelf.

NintendoLife posted a Logan Paul article, and I'm not happy.

If you are going to put something into resin at least do something interesting like a Meteor hits building diorama lamp or Star Wars diorama desk.

But at least he got to feed his addiction to attention for another day.

Stop giving those idiots press.

I still remember the clip of his trip to japan, where he went to a store that sold retro games, took a Gameboy and threw it on the ground. I swear this man just hates Gameboys for no reason.

Sounds like they are just desperate for attention. Don't care.

Eh, who cares. In the grand scheme of things, nothing of value was lost, and in the meantime, he has a pretty cool looking table.

It actually looks pretty nice to be honest! Although I don’t even have 1 Game Boy so this kind of stings lol.

What's the issue? Im sure if you wanted one, you would have one already, so stop getting upset for other people. And him using these, doesn't take away your chances of getting one, if you don't have one. It's not like a 69 mustang or ps5/xbsx. If he did something to one of those, then some ire should be raised

People care about this? Why?

"Local man takes items he owns and does things with said items"

Make your own money, and you’ll be able to spend it how you want. Until then, shut the ***** up lmao

Some of ya need to take a timeout from social media, go outside and touch some grass.

'I've been trying to buy a game boy color for years"... Good God, another fake collector - retro guy who just spreads misinformation. People should just be honest and tell "you know what, I hate this YouTuber so that's why I am telling this", don't play the fake "I love retro" card.

Oh no the Internet is angry at what other choose to do with things they payed for. Chances are most old gameboys that people buy don't actually get used any more anyway and just sit somewhere in someone's collection.

Perspective is so important. If Brie Larson did this the article would start with 20 tweets about how creative this was and what a true gamer she is. And then they would have a few straggler tweets about how it's wasteful. But since it's Logan Paul who is equally idiotic but liked by an inverse set of people, it's flipped.

@Zuljaras probably because they ruined multiple gameboys 😃

I see nothing wrong with what was done to those Game Boys. Seems like a cool project.

And after 20 minutes reading Twitter and nintendolife comments about this gameboy table I wake up and ask myself: "why am I reading all this when I don't even care"? 😂😂😂

@RubyDevilNine i was not talking about logan paul .. i can not stand him or people like him lol i was talking about me .. was kind of a joke that seemed to of missed the target

@Chocobo_Shepherd
Probably spot on here, as sad as it is.

Lol at the guy saying he’s been trying to buy a GameBoy Color for years.

•Like any of us were gonna buy those exact Game Boy Colors.

•All consoles are going to stop working eventually.

•Game Boy games are probably coming to the Nintendo Switch someday soon, and maybe we'll even have a Game Boy Classic someday. There's also plenty of third-party alternatives like the one that just came out. No shortage of ways to get your GB fix, if preservation is your issue.

•If you want to collect something just because it was limited edition, you probably weren't going to play it but just wanted to keep it locked in a display case anyways, so you may as well laminate it to your wall.

•It looks pretty rad.

•This is a first-world issue. He isn't wasting food.

•No one bats an eye when people modify their rare amiibo. This one irks me, but at the end of the day I have no right to tell someone what to do with their property. This argument is also made for modding consoles, so if you condone hacking, you can't have it both ways.

•Not thinking this is a big issue doesn't mean I "simp for Logan Paul," as I saw others being told on Twitter. You can disagree with something--or multiple things--somebody did because it was in poor taste, but that doesn't mean you have to get upset every time they eat a sandwich. You can be a fanatic who blindly loves someone, but you can be a fanatic who blindly hates someone, too.

•Cartoon Network's Chowder (2007) is a good animated series. This is not relevant to the article, nor the rest of my bullet points.*

*Bullet points are not real bullets and therefore cannot actually be used to load a gun.

@HamatoYoshi I mean... the one "hidden away" still works ???

@Zuljaras Not just that video, but the video where he tased a dead rat. With those two videos, he single-handedly destroyed the chances for a lot of smaller YouTube channels just starting out, like my own, to be partnered.

Now, to even be considered for the partner program, I and everyone else need more than 1000 subscribers (and I only have one, a friend of mine from high school), over 4000 valid hours of watch time within the past year (and I had no more than 20), and more than 10,000 lifetime views (and I only had a few hundred).

And because YouTube's algorithms prioritize larger channels, because they bring in the ad revenue, smaller YouTubers like myself are pushed off to the side, meaning we have more difficulty being discovered, much less building a subscriber base. And that sucks.

While the COPPA fiasco may have been the final nail in the coffin for my channel, but it was Logan Paul who built it, laid my channel to rest within it, put the lid on, and started nailing it shut. I'll never forgive him for that.

This is the guy that, in Japan, bought a GBC, smashed it twice into the pavement... and then complained at the shop that it wasnt working.

I hate this guy.

@Onett Err, I think you kinda miss the point. so should he play for LA Lakers too? Upfront for Real Madrid? Should he star in a Hollywood movie? Be in the 100m olympics final coz cmon after all he brings a lot of eyes…. Roll eyes. Like I said money for nothing. If you like boxing or are semi interested and you watch him…. It’s not boxing. Certainly not 20million earning boxing. Just because he has earns a lot of money doing something - without the usual dedication and journey doing it - just underlines my cult point. As does your reply. You are basically saying people will watch him do anything and pay lots for it.

@Jumping_Dead but does it? If it’s still sealed it may not. Schrodingers gameboy

@RubyDevilNine Well if you want to see somerhing that is not the same crap you tend to see .. try me. It might surprise you to see what you csn find https://youtu.be/2BRXYCmFOiU

I don't give a flying (censored) about Logan Paul, or what he does.

Lol he can do whatever he wants with his stuff. I don't see what the big deal is

0.000001% of Game Boy Color units have been taken out of circulation. Quick - everybody panic!

This entire article and everything about it pretty much sums up everything that is wrong about the internet.

People saying he can do what he likes with them because he paid for them. Yes, true. However, any rich person could take this logic, by most of a rare thing, then destroy all of them. Maybe this would be fine to you, but yes, there is a finite number of objects in this world, and those fifteen are gone for temporary internet buzz.
It sucks, I'm not gonna start a crusade over it, but others have a right to be bothered just as much as he had an unfortunate result to ruin those Gameboys.

I wonder what will be the last straw towards Logan Paul that will have him be put down for good(in a manner of speaking, i.e.: all of his money, property, and among other things get taken away from him)?

Loved him in crocodile Dundee
