Soulja Boy tells 'em about Braid

Oh, and while you watch, try to decide which is more entertaining: watching Soulja Boy mistake Braid for bong time fodder or reading comments from people who are so angry at him for not "getting it."
[Thanks, Kat]

Soulja Boy tell'em.

Speaking of being high....
Badboy1979 @ Sep 17th 2008 1:08PM
I think he's already told us:

... he makes money off of every pageview ... and every comment (even if it's negative). At least that was he says. Must be nice.
DEEZNUTZ @ Sep 17th 2008 1:57PM
Good review. Wish I would have seen this before I bought the game.
SARCASM BI*CHES!!!
Josh @ Sep 17th 2008 2:52PM
Hahahaha, amazing, Badboy.
dwhite @ Sep 17th 2008 3:36PM
Another Braid thread? Wow, this game is like 2 girls one cup, it just won't go away.
shaun c @ Sep 17th 2008 12:53PM
haha this is retarded

I love the 'wooooop' noises they all make when time goes backwards
Pureshooter @ Sep 17th 2008 12:53PM
I am SO angry at this guy. It's like he just doesn't "get it".
Shagittarius @ Sep 17th 2008 12:53PM
I agree with him about the character design being insipid. It makes me want to puke.
But I haven't played the game to comment on gameplay.
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Sep 17th 2008 1:00PM
I agree son. Homeboy should have huege muscles and have guns and shit. Also he should have a bitch all over him. That'd be gangster.
Grammar freak @ Sep 17th 2008 1:24PM
Commenter Vegeta = Carlton Banks
BananaBoat @ Sep 17th 2008 1:29PM
I'll give two shits about his views on braid when he learns to spell, learns to speak so that I can understand him, and back peddles on the whole "This is a great game if you smoke weed and you are high" thing.
I'd be jealous, but we all know he'll blow his money on weed and houses, just like Hammer.
Kevlar @ Sep 17th 2008 2:39PM
For someone so concerned about proper English, did you, perhaps mean "backpedal"?
I've never done any back peddling, but I imagine selling spinal columns is not a particularly lucrative market.
Erluti @ Sep 17th 2008 4:06PM
The design elements are brilliant! The suited man makes him so plain and relatable. And the whole game sticks pretty closely to the mario paradigm, opening up a focus on time mechanics and not on how to play the game.
BananaBoat @ Sep 17th 2008 4:34PM
Do as I say son, not as I do.
I could make a long argument about how one could backpeddle (go back on the peddling of a stupid statement) but I shant good sirrah. Backpedal may be sort of correct, but I get my correctness from the gut. The truthiness of the backpeddling shall henceforth be clear.

@Grammar
I'll take that as a compliment.
Blank-Mage @ Sep 18th 2008 12:33AM
Banana Boat wins! Good game, people, good game!
Michael Bolton @ Sep 17th 2008 12:55PM
Soulja Boy huh? Someone send this idiot over to Iraq and Afghanistan if he's really a soulja! I hope Ice T has some street cred left and beat him within an inch of his life.
Justin McElroy @ Sep 17th 2008 12:57PM
Wow, I know one mid-nineties recording artist that's bitter about his rap project "Bolton It Down" going tits up.
DWells55 @ Sep 17th 2008 1:09PM
Joystiq: the only place where you'll see Soulja Boy get told off by Michael Bolton.
xGeneral DEATHx @ Sep 17th 2008 1:24PM
"The worst part is I told those cocksuckers that I loved Michael Bolton's music!"
FOXHOUND @ Sep 17th 2008 1:35PM
"Why should I change my name? He's the one that sucks!"
OFFICE SPACE = Sadly, a documentary not a comedy for many ;D
xGeneral DEATHx @ Sep 17th 2008 1:39PM
Sad Fact: I live out at least one scene of Office Space-like behavior per week. Sometimes even daily.

In the words of Soulja Boy:
"Yaaa Trick YAAAAAAAAH!"
Lol. I know he's ghetto but you guys are taking it to the far corners of the uptight spectrum. That crap is actually funny. Thats the same thing you'd hear from me and my friends if someone sat us down in front of that turd with a case of beers. Games shouldnt have easy buttons.
AwesomeTown @ Sep 17th 2008 12:55PM
Wow. Just.. wow.
I don't even want to comment, though it was pretty funny.
Fenix @ Sep 17th 2008 12:56PM
OMMFG! This guy is one dumb mofo! I wish I could just reach in my PC as slap his dumbass. Did he even graduate? This bastard cant even communicate, how the fuck is he making money again? Its people like this that bug the crap outta me. Its like they are proud that they are ghetto or something.
DemonGSides @ Sep 17th 2008 1:07PM
How does he communicate? Have you listened to modern rap? You barely understand 1/3 of the words out of these idiots mouths.
Give me some of the classic. pass me the Dre, pass me the Snoop, pass me the Nas. Hell, even Ludacris is better than these guys.
Fenix @ Sep 17th 2008 1:17PM
I listen to rap and am a fan of some rappers but this guy is taking it to the extreme. I wonder how he tells someone something normal like hes going to the store to buy some toiler paper or that he needs an oil change. I'm just amazed at what is accepted in our society.
dark_inchworm @ Sep 17th 2008 1:34PM
You can understand Snoop Dogg?
For *rizzle*?
HighFiveJesus @ Sep 17th 2008 1:42PM
yeah snoop speaks english just fine but you can't be whiter than a brand new pair of nikes.
dark_inchworm @ Sep 17th 2008 1:53PM
Yeah, um... what?
Ok...
tdub301 @ Sep 17th 2008 2:17PM
Modern rap has sold out. Anyone who isn't already established as a quality rapper (some people here probably don't think there is such a thing) just puts out some stupid dance song to make money.
This guy did nothing more than put terrible, incoherent lyrics onto a catchy beat that someone he knows made and that people like to dance to in clubs/jam to on the radio/etc.
I don't even think most people know what his hit song is about, definitely not subject matter a respectable woman would dance to. And he won't get as much as you think, his record label will make the majority of the money
And for the record, Souljah Boy owes Ice-T, if it wasn't for people like him, noone would listen to the crap that gets put out nowadays. Ice-T shouldn't waste time responding to or even paying attention to anything that anyone on Souljah Boy's level says
riggs @ Sep 17th 2008 2:07PM
he takes my people back 100 hundred years everytime he opens his effin mouth. we're in 10000 B.C. right now.
RUN! MAMMOTHS!
embassy @ Sep 17th 2008 11:56PM
oh please tub103,
ever heard of MC hammer? Vanilla Ice? 2-live crew? Sir mix-a-lot? Third Bass?
silly raps and over-the-top dance moves have been a part of hiphop for over 20 years so you can dead that nonsense of yours now.
this always happens every 5 years or so...people all catch amnesia and forget about the silly dance songs *they* listened to as kids, just to bash the music kids listen to today. sad, really.
SoCoolCurt (PSN: KillaKornbread) @ Sep 18th 2008 12:09AM
im with tdubbs and riggs. nowdays rappers make more money selling ringtones than selling albums. so now the music doesnt have to be good, it just has to be catchy. i hate all of Soulja Boy's music as someone who has been listening to Nas, Jay-Z, Outkast, Eminem, Big L, etc. for years but i will admit that his music is very catchy. if people actually knew what they were singing about and what "superman that hoe" actually means, i guarantee they would not play it at all. this is almost as bad as before everyone figured out what "skeet" meant.
Hip-Hop is dead, and it's people like him that dont know anything about rap past the new millennium that are setting our people back.
AudioHawk @ Sep 17th 2008 12:57PM
It's sad we seek the ignorant opinion of someone as pointless as this.
Funny vid though, but in sheer stupidity than particularly comedic
RanWitScissorz @ Sep 17th 2008 12:58PM
I think this deserves a south park reference.

Well, there are always those blasted noggers...
Shmil (Mr ESC Liberation Front) @ Sep 17th 2008 12:57PM
So what does this well spoken and educated boy do that allows him to be so rich and famous?
Donald @ Sep 17th 2008 12:58PM
Considering he's the person who brought us "Crank Dat", I don't think Soulja Boy is in a position to criticize anything.
Travis @ Sep 17th 2008 12:58PM
that was awesome... i should play it baked
Zertoss @ Sep 17th 2008 1:01PM
Simple people are easily amused.
Fernando Rocker @ Sep 17th 2008 1:03PM
Ignorant people is ignorant.

Correction,
Ignant peeps be ignant yo...
Superstar90 @ Sep 17th 2008 4:46PM
hes la-able to beat yo ass, why u be callin him out like he ignant?
Iceman @ Sep 17th 2008 1:21PM
umm im pretty sure he gets the game... its probably just in the interesting of entertainment cause that sh*t was funny...
Dantarion @ Sep 17th 2008 1:05PM
This makes me ashamed to be black.
I mean seriously, this is the type of guy that is popular in terms of black entertainment? Does he have any musical talent, or even the ability to speak properly?
