Silent Bob wants to be in a video game

Dec 14th 2006 4:38PM (Joystiq)
Sorry Kevin Smith,

I used to like your crap, but Clerks 2 was SO bad - so incredibly fucking bad - that I simply cannot "trust" any future project of yours.

If Kevin Smith made a game, it'd be a crappy, unfunny vanity piece just like Clerks 2 was.

"You don't do ass to mouth!" God, what a lame movie.

Skate footage impresses, asks Tony who?

nea ...

pfff. Come on man. You know skating is crazier and way more tech than rollerblading could ever be.

come on now.

Gears of War credit roll "a hip-hop fart to the face"

Is this the ending music? I beat the game and I honestly can't even remember this ....

RTFM: PlayStation 3 manual is fashionably early

Tons of video support?

Compared to what?

Microsoft to launch Xbox 360 in Brazil next month

Cause it's third world? I don't get that.

I mean, why would MS charge *more* than normal. I seriously don't get it.

Rumor: HD movie downloads on Xbox 360

I would think that this would be heavily compressed, hopefully leveraging the 360s power to help de-compress the footage - since there's likely no way to use to content on other devices.

I imagine they could get it down to 500 megs per hour of HD content.

The wait is over! A portable Atari Jaguar

Finally!

eBay gets strict with PS3 / Wii listings

Capitalism is one thing, simple and utter greed is another. But that might somehow be confusing to some people, I guess.

There's no point trying to show how shitty/shady it is to exploit a shortage and cash in on your fellow man, cause well, you guys just don't care / can't understand that.

So, please continue to confuse capitalism and chasing after a dollar bill by buying something before a kid can and then turning around and selling said item back to said kid. Continue being a low-life.

The Big Boy comment was making fun of Akbar. He called himself and his roommate "Big Boys." I just thought that was ridiculous and pretty funny. I'm sure he just meant he was fat though (How's that for name calling, Chris! ;-) )

So again .. next time any of you want something that's in short supply, give me a heads up so I can buy it first and sell it back to you at a profit. That's what you want from me, right?

Here's something I learned from reading The Rebel Sell:

When you feel like doing something, ask yourself two questions - 1. Is this creating work for others? 2. What if everyone did this?

I'm sure neither of those questions will have any impact on you, and I guess that's kind of my point.

You guys are going in circles, and over explaining a very simple concept that we all get.

We all know that no one is FORCED to buy a PS3
We all know that no one is FORCED to pay extra for a PS3
We all know that jerks are allowed to do anything legal
We all know that some people are stupid
We all know a fool are their money are soon parted

There aren't enough playstations for people who want them. So you are furthering that problem and cashing in by "riding" the demand. Not a hard concept - stop trying to reexplain it.

It's simple and you're not smart/clever/crafty to have thought of re-selling a popular item. Jerks have been doing it for a while now.

But don't make it sound like you're doing something perfectly normal or healthy though. You're buying a highly sought after item for profit by exploit - nothing more. Greed and the "american way" at its finest. I mean, the world could always use MORE middle-men, right? EVERYONE should do this to EVERY new product that comes out from now on. Fuck that'd be awesome!

Next time you want something, be sure to let me know so I can buy it first (I'm a big boy, you know, so I wake up early in the face of potential exploits) and re-sell it to ya. I mean, hey! You're willing to pay the price right?

---

Oh hey, Did you write down that newspaper business plan I gave ya? On big news days, newspapers sell out pretty fast. Be sure to wake early (you big boy, you) and buy them all up! Then people will be forced to pay more if they want to read the paper!! Everyone wins! You profit as an unneeded middle-man and they end up getting their paper (for more money than usual)! yea!

To Akbar,

Good for you. Stand in line at 5am, buy your toy and re-sell it on EBay. No one's stopping you or trying to make you "feel bad"

Doesn't change the fact that I think it's a pretty lame and shitty thing to do.

Stocks and real-estate eh? hahaha. Nice comparison there boy - trying to sound like a grown-up are we? You knee-deep in the Wall St game now too? I'm suuure you are. *rolls eyes* / *makes jerking off motion*

I tend to buy things I want. I guess you buy things you can sell. Do you also buy up all the newspapers on a big news day and sell those too. Look, a new business model for ya!

Be greedy and be "happy" ... I honestly don't care about you. It's just too bad people like you ruin it for people who, you know, ACTUALLY WANT a ps3 to play and own.
