True Stories of Pictochat

Joystiq has a great story up right now about weird pictochat sessions. The story has sparked some great comments from users, describing their own pictochat happenings. I posted a few of the more entertaining stories below.

Sam's Story
so ecbc and I go to gamestop to get Mario 64 DS. and i bring my DS along. then we go to this chinese restaurant. and as ecbc's coming back from the restroom, he's like "dude did that kid steal your gameboy?" there was some kid at another table fucking around with PictoChat on his own DS so i changed the nickname on mine, found the room he was in, and scribbled "What you just ate wasn't chicken." and sent it and like 10 seconds later i hear over my shoulder "EWWWW!" apparently he showed it to his mom i powered mine down and kept on eating. that was the best thing EVER.

Yup, I was standing in front of the school where I had to pick up my girlfriend. I was waiting so I took out my DS and started playing some Polarium. Suddenly, this younger kid (around 13, I'm 20) takes out his DS and we played a little 2-player polarium together, without saying one word 'live' to eachother =D Another story comes from my cousin, who was sitting in his room pictochatting to himself, when suddenly someone entered the chatroom. It was someone waiting in the room below his room. Because my uncle is a doctor, a lot of people have to wait and read some magazines. They ended up playing the Hunters Demo. My cousin won easily =D

Dmitn's Story
I was at EBgames getting Meteos and Feel The Magic. So I decided to try it out, but I figured I should check out pictochat since I was at EB. Anyhoo, there was a room with 2 people in it already, so I obviously jumped in. And I swear to god, you can't make this up, one of them asked if I wanted to have an orgy.

Exbzurg's Story
When i went to see star wars episode three on midnight opening night(morning?) i brought my ds and my metriod demo and mario64ds. We showed up like 2 hrs early because of the lines etc. so i played mario for a bit. after about half an hour sitting in the theatre i pop into pictochat. no one was there so i doodle to myself. then about 5 mins later someone enters. we chatted for a bit when 2 more ppl enter. we setup a mario 64 game. when we go back to pictochat and theres like 5 more ppl there. by the time the movie started about 30 ppl where spread across the pictochat rooms. i only ended up being able to see about 3 of the ppl with a ds in my theatre so i guess with all the overlapping signals i was talking and playing with people in the other theatre rooms. it was extremely fun. it was like playing online b/c i never talked face to face with anyone i played with. what was really fun besides setting up metriod mini tournements(frustrating to keep the wrong ppl out) was drawing little sketches during the movie. some were funny and others where just wrong but it was fun. This has happened at other movies but with fewer ppl. O and once at the park i pictochatted with and played against some random kid and his friend in mario64(i won easily).
