The information is all Captain Obvious stuff and the presentation is Yahtzee minus any actual entertainment. The guy would have done better to present his arguments in a coherent manner that wasn't trying to shamelessly capitalize off someone else's popularity.

Ugh, all that terrible mumbling. I suddenly have more respect for Yahtzee's speaking skills.

Guess what, there are so many dumb fucks that bitch about Gamestop, and continue to shop there. They continue to trade in their games for crappy prices and bitch and moan their way out the door after they've forked over $54.99 and tax for a used game.
The fault rests entirely on the consumer, those dumb fucks. A business' main m.o. is to make money, and lots of it. And Gamestop has found a great way to do that, because they have targeted a legion of retards that continue to feed into their bullshit. Gamestop sucks, the customers suck more, because they help keep them going.
And an fyi, I work for that shithole.

I am british. I cannot understand what this guy is saying. He may aswell be drunk.

Any americans having this problem?

damn I cant believe this got front-paged... there has to be something better to spotlight. Everyone that watches these more than likely knows how Gamestop rapes used games. Its a waste of time.

I could understand him as well. I'd be more concerned about Yahtzee getting wind of this, and going after him for mimicking his stuff.

I understand him just fine. Good videos in my opinion.

I love when drunks trade in games. They expect so much and all we give them is shit. This guys special edition of Halo 3 only gave him $18 cash. Guess he was going to get drunk on monkey piss.

I don't care whether or not he was being informative or accurate or whatever. That's great, you're gonna make a really huge dent in Gamestop's sales because people are gonna stop being morons overnight.

I would much prefer if it was entertaining, but it was boring, unfunny, and a lame imitation.

My cousin works at a gamestop and LOVES IT.

He's close to being DM....then he can give me a job with Tenure

I don't really see what was wrong with it. I understood the guy just fine on one sit through. Yes, some of the info he gave was old news to Hardcore gamers, but some wasn't. It was interesting. He didn't make it to be primarily entertaining, he just wanted to make it informative.

Overall though, it looks like most of you are too simple to understand his purpose. If you had actually bothered too pay attention, rather than harshly dismissing it for superficial reasons, you would've noted that he wants this message to get to the main people that shop at GameStop: casual gamers and non-gamers.

He says that hardcore gamers don't shop at GameStop (at least often enough) because they know better, but the people that GameStop thrives and leeches off are kids, casual gamers, and soccer moms. In the end, the main thing he wants to do is not tell Hardcore gamers things they've heard off the internet for quite some time now, but to inform the masses on the truth behind GameStop's fradulent practices. In the last video, he also asks the viewer to spread the message to these people that simply are oblivious to GameStop's BS.

Now, why post it here at Destructoid? Because most of us are amongst the group of people (hardcore gamers) already in the know that need to spread the message to those that aren't, and rather than doing it ourselves, it's easier to just show them through this video.

What's the point of doing this? To produce educated consumers that would avoid GameStop and any other such store unless improvements are made. The point is not to put GameStop out of business, only to have it be replaced by the same type of store under a different name, the point is to make the situation better altogether. To drop all the bullshit, and shape up to a respectable store. To treat their customers with a sense of respect, rather than treating them like suckers.

It's sad to see that most of you honestly had no idea what the fuck you were watching. This isn't rocket science, but then again... This is Destructoid after all. I'm not surprised.

I watched them all, and I have to say that not all of it is common knowledge. I mean yeah we all knew GameStop rips you off crazy like on trade-ins, but I had no idea just how bad the company was.

I thought it was good. There were some things I didn't know there. His attempt to rip off Yahtzee was a way to remain anonymous and provide filler for his videos that would otherwise have to be populated entirely by google images.

Possibly. If half of the shit in this series is as bad as the series describes, then continuing to work for them does indeed make you "dumb as fuck". Unless you were born with a bomb in your chest that explodes should you be employed anywhere else.

Though, shit, maybe GameStop is the best place to work where you are. Maybe your store is a good store to work at. I work at a BestBuy that treats it's employees very, very well; we all love our jobs. I've heard stories from people that work there that say that other BestBuy stores are hell to work at, with slavedriver managers that don't give a fuck about you. Not every BestBuy is the same, just like I'm sure that not every GameStop is the same.

Just because almost all of the people that work at GameStop (at least my two local ones) know jack shit about games, that doesn't mean that there isn't a GameStop somehwere that has decent employees who don't want to kill themselves.

You may be the minority.

why pay 54 for a used game when amazon.ca sells new games for the price of a lot of ebgames used games
