Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



If you loved Braid, as the majority of Destructoid's staff did, you're going to want to sit down for this one. Rapper Soulja Boy posted a YouTube video which shows himself and a friend sharing their feedback on Braid, including such gems of insight as "it ain't got no point to the game" and "it's like Mario in the future". Wow. Just ... wow.

Of course, Braid is stupid and has no point! It has no guns, and worst of all, no titties! Of course, the composer of a triumphant ode to the beauty of women such as "Booty Meat" is an ideal person to comment on a game that challenges intelligence, emotions and interpretation all at the same time. Stick with what you know, kid, because this sh*t just makes you look bad.

[Thanks, Action Bastard]

Yes, all 50 people on the Cblogs saw this video. Now lets let the other 90,000 people see this video on the front page.

Honestly guys, cut that shit out.

Hey, when I was that age, I was smoking the weed, drinking and playing Mario Kart on the Snes and if you asked me to explain that sh!t i'd of said it just as fecked up as him.


Seriously, after a few tokes and drinks, trying to explain being an italian plumber in a go kart throwing green and red turtle shells at things sounds pretty crazy.

Now I never played Braid at all never mind stoned or p1ssed... but I can see where he's coming from on one level.


He's still a t!t though & need to lay off the drink n herbs :)

Honestly, yes, he is a bit of a retard, but I wouldn't be surprised if some people actually bought the game BECAUSE of wannabe Lil' Bow-Wow (which isn't saying a lot), they might actually get into it, and have a religious experience. As far as I can see, there's no real downside to this, other than having to listen to that bitch some more.

Oh, Christballs. I'm going to step back from video games for a bit and look at the bigger picture.

Not only is this moron ruining hip-hop and rap, but he's also a role model for millions of children, and that my friends is what's really depressing.

If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go listen to some real rap. Not some derivative piece of crap with candy ass beats. Fucking studio gangsters...

I'd like to organize a Destructoid assault on Soulja Boy's Youtube video. Let the spamming commence!

There are numbers to back this up, and I'm sure Hamza has access to them: lots and lots and lots more people read the front page than the c-blogs.

The numbers I threw out were exaggerated as both numbers are more, but still, MORE PEOPLE come to the front page than the community blogs by far.

This is what happened to me when I was watching that video. First, I saw that it was that Soulja... humanoid... thing, and sighed. I pressed play and cringed a little. Then, I turned my head away slightly, as if to protect myself from the little bits of stupid flying at me. Then I began to smile a bit, denying myself that this was really fow weels. Then, I cringed a bit more and a strange thing happened - I turned to the right, place my hand between my thighs and closed my legs as if I had just been raped.

This person is such a thickie, I felt like he was raping me with his stupid words. It was horrible.

It's actually pretty interesting, that after all of the internet hubbub about what the story is trying to say, or not trying to NOT say, and the whole pricing thing and the internet darling-ness, and jonathan blow and all that....after all that nonsense, it comes down to is the game fun, and apparently for some people it is.

I like how he says there is no point to the game. Seriously, its something that people making these types of download-able games should look at, if the basic gameplay isn't fun, then it just isn't worth it. he definitely was cracking up, but like he said, it's something that he primarily plays when he is drunk or high, relagating it to a "mess around" game

I know alot of people are going to see this and claim he is playing it "wrong" or that he has no idea what he is doing, or something else negative towards solja boy's music (which isn't the topic here) or etc, but if you have to say those type of things, doesn't that speak to the game more than anything else? All I'm saying is this, for all those who felt that buying Braid was some kind of "duty" they had to fulfill to support independent gaming, or to say that they experienced something that was "surreal and innovative", someone else (in this example, solja boy) just purchased it justt to play around and laugh at/with...but both of your $15 dollars are the same, so is any player more right or more wrong then the other? not really.... If anything it's makes both people RIGHT.

Point of the story?: Don't think you are somehow "better" than him just because he sees the game in a different way... remember Gamer/Internet Etiquette from a few posts ago?...

I'd love to see him review the recent Prince of Persia games. I don't get how he can be so amused by the reversal mechanic. I love how he makes an aside at 02'05" thinking that anyone else will agree with him, but then again he and anyone else who would aren't us.

Soulja Boy's new hit single: WOAAHH

Soulja Boy Tell'Em
Never running out of my time potions
This funny ass game is like a 3 wheel motion
I can go back when you was a youngster
Then I make look like a big punkster
I'm like Mario in da future
I got a suit and tie
And my orange hair dye
If you mad drunk, hit me up
And if you high, you can rewind time

Then I'm WOOAAH
Like WOOAHH
Now get WOAAHH

Soulja Boy psyched your ass out bitch!

Pay attention, dude. It happens frequently, and it's been happening ever since we got the c-blogs. The front page is not the c-blogs. No one "beat" Colette to it, because no one else posted it on the front page. Action Bastard sent in a tip, the staff read it, and they posted about it. End of story. Fuck, what is so goddamn hard to understand about this, people?

As I said on Workmeng's blog, Soulja Boy makes me wish I was racist. I seriously would love to see Blow's response.

Soulja Boy playing Braid? I don't think I've ever seen two more opposite things interacting. I'm surprised the two didn't both disappear in a giant flash as soon as the game was turned on.

And for the record, I think he's pretty damn funny. Yeah he's a moron, so what? That's half of what makes it funny.

And here I thought the video was supposed to be about them reacting all silly about the time mechanic. You know... a joke? The community reaction kind of reminds me of console fanboys actually. :p

I thought it was funny. Gets old quick, but it was funny the first time through.
