I agree with this.

But.

It was still pretty awful.

That's squirrels grasp of economics is pretty loose. Jesus.

Video-game developers have way too much time on their hands.

There are plenty of stores around here that are booming that buy games for half of what they sell.

Booming, I doubt. Breaking even? Surviving? Sure.

Booming. Like, multiple locations, putting several other stores out of business booming.

Yeah, well, it's in Canada. So it doesn't count.

Wings of Fire · #**548** 10-07-2009, 08:43 AM

Maybe it's some kind of trading law, but in England all stores I've seen, independant or not buy your games for half the price they sell them on.

Mac Sirloin · #**549** 10-07-2009, 08:43 AM

That's weird. I remember already reading that.

I don't mean that you're repeating a point, but I just got some Deja Vu.

Oh, and this isn't EB Games, Gamestop, or any big-name retailer. It's a semi local local business, so that plays a part.

I won't sell my used games, and I won't buy used games. I want to deplete their new inventory so that they have to order more from their distributor. If I like something, I want the people that made it to get my money.

Mac Sirloin · #**551** 10-07-2009, 08:47 AM

What if the game is out of print?

I won't sell my used games, and I won't buy used games, unless the game is no longer on the market. I want to deplete their new inventory so that they have to order more from their distributor. If I like something, I want the people that made it to get my money.

Does this please you?

Mac Sirloin · #**553** 10-07-2009, 10:20 AM

Yes. Feverishly.

shaman · #**554** 10-07-2009, 11:07 AM

Oh my yes.

Wings of Fire · #**555** 10-07-2009, 11:35 AM

Whereas I'm skint, so I beg, borrow and buy used games.

New Modest Mouse video is awesomely weird.

"Whale Song" for Modest Mouse from Bent Image Lab on Vimeo.

Edit: It works now.

This the most adorable thing ever.

Bullet Magnet · #**560** 10-09-2009, 03:07 PM

Yes, yes, I blogged it already!

Dammit I'm mad.
Evil is a deed as I live.
God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt.
To be not one man emanating is sad. I piss.
Alas, it is so late. Who stops to help?
Man, it is hot. I'm in it. I tell.
I am not a devil. I level "Mad Dog".
Ah, say burning is, as a deified gulp,
In my halo of a mired rum tin.
I erase many men. Oh, to be man, a sin.
Is evil in a clam? In a trap?
No. It is open. On it I was stuck.
Rats peed on hope. Elsewhere dips a web.
Be still if I fill its ebb.
Ew, a spider… eh?
We sleep. Oh no!
Deep, stark cuts saw it in one position.
Part animal, can I live? Sin is a name.
Both, one… my names are in it.
Murder? I'm a fool.
A hymn I plug, deified as a sign in ruby ash,
A Goddam level I lived at.
On mail let it in. I'm it.
Oh, sit in ample hot spots. Oh wet!
A loss it is alas (sip). I'd assign it a name.
Name not one bottle minus an ode by me:
"Sir, I deliver. I'm a dog"
Evil is a deed as I live.
Dammit I'm mad.

Mmm, palindromic.
