MarioNowWorksForGamestopWOOHOOOOOOOOO!
Necros \| 7:34 PM on 11.12.2007	13 comments

This should really not make me laugh as much as it did, because what we have here is essentially Charles Martinet making Mario shill out for Gamestop. He even does a bit about trading in games for credit, though he at least promotes buying the game new instead of used. And some of it just seems forced, such as when he says that the princess makes his heart "go bada bing, bada boom, bada ba." Oh well, guess it's just a sign of the times.

Interesting footnote: not one minute after I saw this video, I got the call myself. Made me feel like I had wasted two minutes of my life.

I didn't think I could hate Gamestop anymore than I already do, but here we are.

Isn't this one of the signs of the apocolypse?

Ha ha, I know better than to click your links without checking the actual URL first.

What in the name of lasagna lovers everywhere is wrong with Charles Martinet. Has-a the man no shame? WOO HOOO!

Your avatar answers that question. Nicely!

I wonder if Martinet gets paid in Store Credit or takes 10% less to get cash. In either case, I'm sure he plunked down his EDGE card for a 10% bonus.

I just got the call about an hour ago...I knew it was coming, but it was still hilarious!

Woo-Hoo!

about me

Yo. I'm a junior at Syracuse University, studying Television/Film at the Newhouse school.

I love video games, gaming/nerd culture, examining games critically as an art form, and all the useless trivia and data surrounding games. I am a consumer whore. Gaming is obviously one of my primary hobbies, though not the only one. I'm a regular on Failcast.

I also watch anime and read manga when I get the chance. It's mostly just mainstream and shonen stuff as a result of the ease of accessibility, though I try to see some more obscure series when I get the chance.

I have epic hair.

I play bass guitar and have been in a band. It's broken up. I lived the dream.

I love rock. I tend to gravitate towards various types of punk, alternative, or indie, though I'll listen to anything. Bob Dylan rocks. Also, random weird underground stuff. The NES sound chip was amazing.
