10 minutes of torture for a Nintendo customer rep

(sorry for the reup, the embed was entirely broken for a ton of people and i didn't notice until now)

Nintendo fun time everybody now!!

I just recently did a charity streaming event which showcased Wii Homebrew, a Mega Man 9 No Death Speed Run and a Punch Out Wii career run.

The event ended up being a huge success, thanks to everyone here who attended/donated. Anyway, here's one of the highlights and it was a support call to Nintendo. The live original version was 17 minutes but it was cut to 10 due to YouTube limits. Hope you all enjoy!

CUSTOMER REPS ARE NOT HUMAN BEINGS, ITS OK TO BE AN ASSHOLE TO THEM AS LONG AS IT FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT OF OTHERS.

Jesus, what are you 12? Nice job being an asshole to some poor shmuck doing his job.

At least in your other griefing videos you're just bothering like minded retards like yourself, seriously I don't get what's so amusing about griefing, I truly don't, we all payed for the game we're playing, in this case its a person doing his job and there's always gotta be ONE GUY, one asshole who just ruins it for everybody or think its funny to be a clown to some stranger.

Oh and most of your blog posts come as of advertising for your site, just FYI.

In conclusion, your an asshole and you're nothing special because you make people angry when all they're trying to do is play a damn game/have fun.

Now go ahead and tell me I won't amount to anything cause of my avatar like you did last time.

Oh and the fact that you did this for a CHARITY, just blows my mind.

Hahaha, I'm disappointed they didn't actually get Miyamoto on the line to lecture you. Was Chris Savino a reference to the animator, or just a random name you pulled out of your ass?

And as someone who used to work in customer service, I can confirm that we give up all rights to be a human being as long as we're employed there. We're fair game to abuse in any way seen fit.

I have to say I like your normal shit but this was a tad long, and the guy didn't really fall for it. This guy actually did a good job handling your insults as well, so the opportunity for comedy kind of fell to the wayside.

Also, I get casual griefing (you can always quit that particular instance, or just beat the griefer in the game to shut him up), but I agree with Kyo in terms of messing with a random dude: unless he didn't mind it, which I'm not sure of.
Cadtalfryn's Destructoid Blog
I completely agree with Kyo. I deal with idiots all day at my my job and definitely do not appreciate BS like this.

That was a human being a work you were talking to. He probably wasn't having the best of times before you called and you made one of the most boring parts of his day into a frustrating one.

Nintendo Customer Service is really helpful and to see this poor treatment towards a regular guy trying to do his job is just revolting.

>Now go ahead and tell me I won't amount to anything cause of my avatar like you did last time.

He's just projecting, it seems he's resigned to the fact that once the "WACKY videogame reviewer" bubble bursts, he'll just be another dork with a website. He'll never be famous, he'll never be distinguished. If he's lucky, he'll just graduate from college, get a mundane job, and live in a mundane house while living a mundane life with mundane friends. That's really what he deserves anyway, living his life being smart enough to know that no one gives a flying fuck about him no matter how hard he tries to present his "opinions" and "social commentary"(which he uses as code for "I have no talent").

The very idea, calling people at work? How's that clever?

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
