Quantcast



We receive all kinds of email at Destructoid. We mostly get death threats, naked women covered in video games, news tips, legal threats, polar bear ransom letters, and desperate pleas for Summa's home address. Once in a blue moon, however, we receive stories chock full of win.  Ladies and gentlemen ... meet Brock Dainjer.

Living in L.A., I get to see a lot of interesting things, like well dressed homeless people with nice tans.  Or non-well dress homeless people with poop on their hands and an utter hatred for people without poophands. Last tuesday was certainly no exception.  After learning that the reason that everything outside looked like a background from Bad Boys was due to the smoke from the Griffith Park Fires, I drove to the local Best Buy mall complex to get a good look at it. 

Continued: 

 

 The fires were fucking crazy, although these cel-phone pics don't really do it justice. And I also missed grabbin a pic of this homeless woman that was completely doable. But anyways, after watching the fires whip around the hills for a little while, I decided to go into the Best Buy and see if any good movies had come out.  While roaming the dvd's, my friend noticed a big to-do over at the gaming cage. Upon further investigation, we had apparently wondered in right as a shipment of Wii's were being unloaded. So I immediately got in line and had my friend put back my two copies of Music & Lyrics (one to lend out and one to tape to ceiling over my bed). 

 

So, to make a long story a little bit longer, it ends up that after being beckoned to the Los Feliz shopping center by the insane Griffith Park fires, I as well as several others had shown up at just the right time to purchase a Wii from a shipment that Best Buy didn't even know was coming. Coincedence? Or the Japanese version of viral marketing? Well, Brock Dainjer is just one man and this is just one man's opinion, but I'll tell ya what, brother, I'm gonna go get shitfaced and find that hot homeless lady and never think about this again.

 

Also, cocks.

Looks like he found a wii cuz the city was on fire :) Which is a valid reasoning... i mean who the fuck goes to buy a wii when their house might be on fire in a few hours ;)

whist at the best buy area, he sauntered into see what the ruckus was about. why did he go in? to view the television sets in HI-DEF about the story that was blazing outside. naturally his eyes spotted a WII and everything afterward is lost to the memories of history. the moral of the story is to always depend on HI-DEF for your news. it's more real than real life.

Yikes, so much hostility. I'm hoping thats about the bug and not about the incredibly awesome pic of me caught in between two much funnier faces that i had made.

When I told someone standing in line behind me back in November that "there's no way in Hell to get a Wii without waiting in line for hours", I was wrong. Brock clearly has scored a Wii in Hell.

Kudos.

I stand corrected.

You know what pisses me off is that my uncle gets a wii after I do without waiting in line for hours and sells it after a few days because he wasn't using it.

I camped for twenty-three hours (I know some did longer than I did) in front of the Best Buy I work for.

Brock Dainjer is officially the coolest guy ever. 9/10 of that is his name, and the other 1/10 is his crazy good luck and his apathy towards a Japanese marketing conspiracy.

Forget about the Wii, I wanna hear more about this hot homeless chick. I'll bet you could trade a 5 piece chicken nugget for some hot homeless roast beef.

you don't know brock dainjer like i know brock dainjer. he could've had it all. but he pissed it all away. too much jager, jager bombs, and jager and spirtes led to the end of the brock in knew.

he was once half of the greatest robot bounty hunting team in the northeast. now he's too busy banging homless hotties underneath the pier too answer an old friend's phone calls.

now i collect robot bounties by myself, no partner can ever fill his shoes but, without dainjer, i'm almost always in peril.

don't believe me?, just ask brock. he can tell you all about Colt Kincaid.
