Uli could seriously afford a new computer, windows 7, and better internet if he just started a Platform Masters kickstarter

heck, all he needs to do is to go down to his local markets and order more of those embroidered platform masters polo shirts

yolo is the dumbest thing ever because it's so ambiguous it can mean "go out and take risks and do stupid poo poo and have sex with thai prostitutes" but also "don't take stupid risks be conservative in all things save your money and take your vitamins"

you should only support a kickstarter if you think the project is cool and you want to see it succeed and you'd rather give them a fiver than go get slim jims

if you donate (yes DONATE its a donation dammit) to a kickstarter and expect anything in return you're a moron

who cares it's still android and all they did was port the software they've written for smart tvs to run independently and the cpu they're using is garbage used on garbage chinese tablets and is also dual core/dual core gpu so it's already a dated pile of rear end

the best kickstarters are crazy projects by credible people that might not work out but if they do holy crap

thus yet another goddamned bideo game console does not qualify as a cool kickstarter

so this is like those tv-game things that were a knockoff N64 controller that plugged straight into the TV?

the ones with the box boasting "1798 GAMES!" but really there were just 20 terrible tetris knockoffs and they counted every level and skill setting as a different "game"

i went to a mall with a rich person with no impulse control because he had to get borderlands 2 RIGHT NOW and you can't buy a thing and leave gamestop without a greasy goateed guy trying to sell you pre-orders and the entire store is visually appalling and its like everything i hate rolled into a tiny lovely location.

same.

they've gradually differentiated the locations tho at this mall, so one of them carries most of the new games and the other seems to be more heavily focused on preowned and older systems.

there's an EB near here and it's loving huge and always packed

my friend worked there until recently and said 50% of the people in there were either kids trying to trade in 15 PS1 wrestling games, or the parents of those kids shouting about how 15 copies of WWE Ultimate Wrestling Smackdown Showcase '98 were totally worth one 360 game and how they were going to call the police if he didn't agree
