Trapped Chilean miners get PSPs, are probably disappointed

There%26rsquo;s nothing funny about being trapped in the cold dark for months. While supply lines have reached the headline-dominating miners, who have been isolated since the collapse of a Chilean mine on August 5th, it will be months before they'll see daylight again. So the rescuers, in a bit of misguided compassion, have provided them with PSPs to pass the time.

Still, the Chilean government and people are doing their best to keep the miners%26rsquo; spirits up, and their efforts should be applauded. Many have argued, however, that DSes would have been more prudent. Pokemon can pass a lot of time.

In seriousness, we wish all of the miners a speedy and safe escape. We can't possibly understand what they're going through down there, but we can come up with silly "what if?" questions, so tell us in the comments: how would you want to pass the time if you were trapped in a damp tunnel 2,300 feet under the earth for five months? If you had to choose a videogame to keep you sane, which would it be?
