miffy495 Posted February 17, 2012 A boondongle is a word that jumped into my mind a couple of months ago when the circle pad attachment for the 3DS was announced. It is a (usually control-oriented) addition to an existing piece of gaming hardware that is never actually accepted by the gaming public and ends up being a failure for the company that put it out. Possible examples include the Donkey Konga drums, uDraw pad, and (if it ever comes out) Wii vitality sensor. Whether or not the circle pad turns out to be this, it is responsible for the word coming to mind. Knowing that Giant Bomb loves stupid shit like that, I sent it to the bombcast in an email.

subbes Posted February 17, 2012 Subbes, you're really channeling the spirit of GlaDOS there Thanks! I attribute it to reading a lot of Kate Beaton's stuff and also being quite tired and therefore a bit punchy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
