Well, being geeks to the extreme, we brought a Gamecube to Florida. Unfortunately the hotel attempted to prevent this by programming their TV and installing a modem on it to report back information. We subsequently hacked through the TV's settings and hooked up the Gamecube

It worked pretty well once you got it started (the colors would shift and fade every 5 minutes or so), but getting it started was a pain... the TV would try to give you an "unusable signal" error and everything.. hehe
Anyway, the bad part is that the Gamecube was located in my room. Therefore we went to bed at around 2 AM each night, getting up at 6 or 7... I guess it's not that bad, in comparison to the other replies!
