December last year when the FO noticed I was playing on a Nintendo DS and asked me if I liked the Nintendo DS.
Turned out he had one and we started talking about the DS other consoles and other videogames.
It allowed me to brag about my job(videogame journalist, the flight was from BRT to CDG and I had just done a series of developer interviews in Japan) he seemed impressed and we talked about videogames a lot making the flight a lot more pleasureable then these long haul flights ussually are.
