[quote name='BmBoWnZ']I'm currently writing on this topic for my college thesis[/QUOTE]

i would like to read this. it is interesting to see how many people do not like him, and unless i missed something, he really doesnt do anything more than the rest of us.
 
[quote name='mguiddy']But he buys games that other people don't like and is enthusiastic about doing so![/QUOTE]

everyone does that, i hate halo and people brag about buying that all the time.

Long story short, he would brag about picking up games most of us wouldn't spend any money on saying he got them for $x.xx shipped like it was something great. He also raps about hating people on GameFAQs, spent time at work creating videos, created videos while driving his little ex-girlfriend around, has been banned from a good number of forums, talked about getting STDs on GameFAQs, and uses Ebonics like he went to school solely for that. He's the complete package of what's wrong with youth today.

I actually feel the same way. I feel he doesn't do anything more than the rest of us. I mean he does purchase some shit games but that is his choice if he want to play drivel like that. I am guilty of buying some bad games just for the gamerscore, so I really can't give him too much shit. That said there are worse people on this site that deserve the banhammer waaaaay more than he does.

Honestly though everyone telling him how to spend his money should honestly fuck off. If he chooses to spend it all like this then let him. Stop trying to be his mommy & daddy already. If he fucks himself over then let him. Not your life, go live yours, good day. :whistle2:#

The one thing that does get under my skin a bit though is him calling all these obscure shit games Rare & Valuable. :roll:

My biggest problem is seeing how often he talks out of his ass. We're talking about a kid who posted on a forum that he wanted to make $1,000,000 in 3 years without working at all. Sure, none of us can really tell him what to do, but we can say how we feel. I hate him because he wastes thousands of dollars on video games when some people work day after day and not get anywhere in life. I guess it's a matter of having things handed to you versus working for them. That's why nobody says anything about you, ZXT. I know your work schedule and you earn every dollar you make. F_T sat in a store making videos on the clock for money.

I guess I can agree with that. But honestly if he wastes his money like that it WILL bite him in the ass later on then that is the time for everyone to say "I told you so". ;)

As for the way he acts... I actually find hilarity in it because he is different from the "token" troll, or at least I think he is.

You must hate a lot of people on this site.
 
Well.. trying to get back on topic a little bit... I got some stuff this past couple days..

DQ V: hand of the Heavenly Bride and some other goodies from Gamestop.

All of these are from 1 specific gamestop I go to every now and then. It's out of the way for me, maybe 15 miles or so. They always wait to take guides off the rack..

1000507i.jpg


They're all in good condition, Mass effect and MPT are still sealed. The game is in excellent quality and complete!


I also stopped by a good will that was way out of my way. They had practically nothing game related, but I saw a telescope by Bushnell for $20 that im going to go check on later this week. It looked nice, and it was huge, anyone ever bought/sold one before?
 
[quote name='salty tbone']You must hate a lot of people on this site.[/QUOTE]


Everybody.




Not really, but 99% of the people I encounter don't use "Shawty" or "Beast" or "Gucci as fuck!" If you're going to speak like that, it doesn't really need to be brought onto a forum for video games as well...
 
[quote name='Animal7390']everyone does that, i hate halo and people brag about buying that all the time.[/QUOTE]

Sorry, thats not at all the same.

[quote name='Fire_Thief']Not really. I see it aggravates you herbs and you guys only encourage me. Truly pathetic on your part.[/QUOTE]

lol, you still don't have a job

Hope this helps

Its nothing to do with you. There were numerous posts about fire thief that made the thread derail.

Wow, great shop you got there!
 
[quote name='lmz00']One to play, one to keep sealed.[/QUOTE]

Is the game rare or something? Reviews are terrible, not to mention...


...it's the Spice Girls :whistle2:s
 
I don't think so. I got them both for $50 shipped. I'm keeping the sealed copy just to have it (I'll probably send it to VGA eventually), not because I think it might be worth a lot of money one day. I don't buy games as "investments." And I'm all about the Spice Girls.
