    XBox? Yeah right.
    PSN
    PS3? As if.

    Default I just came back from a yard sale......

    Yes.... it was, for the most part, a pleasant experience...... the birds were singing so many songs that it was basically a bird concert, except I didn't need tickets to listen, and the smiles and hearts of the people were as warm as the magnificent sun. Sadly, though, evil lurked...... a terrible videogame was being sold there for one dollar. Which game, you ask? I am glad you asked..... thanks...... the game in question is.... get ready...... Phantasy Star 3. If Phantasy Star 4 is named The End of the Millennium, Phantasy Star 3 should be named The End of Your Life... it's so horrible it makes even the strongest of people want to kill themselves..... so I confronted the seller....

    Me: Yo!
    Yard Sale Guy (A man in his late 40s): Hello, young man....
    Me: Why the heck are you selling Phantasy Star 3 for this much? The game sucks! You should lower the price by one dollar.
    Yard Sale Guy: But that would make it zero dollars..... this is a yard SALE, not a yard giveaway..... I am not forcing you to buy the game.....

    So then, right in front of his eyes, I snapped the cartridge in half...

    Yard Sale Guy: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING! THAT WAS MY SON'S FAVORITE GAME!
    Me: Saving your customers from a fate worse than death... and it's your son's favorite game? No.... it was his favorite game....

    But I am a good person, so I gave him one dollar to cover the cost.....

    More importantly, though, I bought a handful of games......

    Rocket Knight Adventures $16
    Dynamite Headdy $20
    Crusader of Centy $46
    Contra: Hard Corps $9
    LandStalker $23

    Are those games any good? Or did I get ripped off.....

    First, that story is total BS and you know it. If he's charging prices that high on those other games, he wouldn't sell PS3 for a dollar.
    To answer your question though, yes, they are good games, but you totally overpaid.

    Chaz I used to think your post's were funny, but this is such an obvious alt account and bull shit story that you have done yourself great in-justice...

    Boo to you.

    I think Chaz was channeling a bit of "The Sizz" for that post.

    Mostly that first paragraph.

    Possibility is infinity! You must be satisfied!

    No. No, you're not. And this thread is definitive proof. If the story is true, then you're a conscienceless punk with no regard for other people's property. If it's bs, then you're just an attention-whoring troll.

    Please, Brendan, just gather up your oversized ellipses and bad manners and go back to the negative museum from whence you were spawned.

    I agree. Chaz is no longer funny, in any way.

    Even Shandling knows when to cool it.

    p.s. I would pay money to see the OP trying to break a Genesis cartridge in half. You can't do it, even with super hueg videogamer wrists.

    It's also pretty bloody unlikely that somebody selling "their [DEAD] son's favorite game" for $1 would charge $46 for another.

    It's also unlikely that somebody posting at DP wouldn't know how to use the Online Rarity Guide.

    Chaz, you alone could sway me to support unlimited trimester abortions...

    Go into the forest, get lost and gang raped by a circus seal with a head cold and a minivan full of clown-midgets, contract various strains of genital/anal cooties and die. That's right... die in the forest. Then come back here and post about it. If you're real and not an alt then you're a joke of a human tragedy.

    When your folks gave you your first bath they should have held you under until the bubbles stopped...

    There, I hope that was close to the response you were fishing for so we can all get moving along with our day. Don't forget the forest!

    No-one believes that you paid that at a yard sale, douchenozzle.

    I try my best to take people at their word, but this story doesn't add up. If someone is selling their games for collectible prices, they most likely aren't going to sell a game they don't like for $1.

    This guy is so manly and awesome, I wish I was a girl so I could be his girlfriend.

    Snapping Genesis cartridges like that just to educate that man... amazing.

    Come on guys, if everyone thinks this is just a troll post, ignore it. Doesn't everyone know what trolls want?
