Fail Quotes

this article author is an obvious sufferer of mental retardation, with no patience. never a good mix.

Apparently we're the ones who have no patience....

‎"Contrary to Republican talking points, President Obama has pulled us out of a massive recession over the last three years by initiating a wage freeze on federal workers and cuts in government spending in some areas (austerity) and boosting the economy with targeted spending in others and tax cuts (stimulus). Strangely, it seems to be working. Albeit slowly."

And here we have Pooka failing stupidly...

and for some reason, in his case, he seems to be pretty clueless. (no, not you D, the dude you quoted).

@ evensgray: well, some people live in a non-world.

I really wish Totalbiscuit wouldn't try to talk about economics because it's really not his field.

In a nutshell, in talking about used games, he talks about how he used to work for a game retailer and that they were told to always try to encourage customers to buy games used whenever possible and he claims that this is proof that used game sales take money out of the hands of developers.

I haven't worked in a game retail store and even I know he's grossly oversimplifying the matter.  Used games are pushed because
A: They tend to be a pain to clear from the shelves.
B: They're a greater loss to the store if they don't sell.  Stores pay more individually for used games than new ones because they tend to get bulk discounts buying from developers.

He seems to think selling used games is the road to easy money.  It's not.  It's very fickle, far more than selling new ones.

Um, not to mention anecdotal "evidence".
Does he have any studies to back up this spurious claim of his?

Wait...he actually believes that bullshit claim that "used gaming sales hurt devs"?  Seriously?
God, he's an elitist...

As someone who has bought used games in the past I can tell you a lot of the time it's buy used games or no games. Especially if I am looking for a specific used game. Also what business is it of his if someone buys used games. It's their property.

Someone asked me "Why is it such a big deal that Obama signed the NDAA?" "It would have been passed over his veto anyway."

In response to the fail I simply posted this.

An image that applies to most--if not all--of the U.S. presidents, I'm afraid.

[Goaticus]

Yeah, and I also apply it to any Senator or House Member who voted for the NDAA.

You should really make a video about this.

Posted on an old friend's facebook page. I wouldn't exactly say he knows any better, but still...

EDIT: Crap! Meant to post this in fail quotes. How do I move posts again?

EDIT 2: Thank you, Mr. Bogosity! =D
