Ok? I didn't say it was rigged in the same way, just for the same purpose.

I'm talking about the sealed copy of Super Mario Bros.

The person who put up the item for sale at the auction house is friends with the people who own the auction house. And it was not ever sold for anywhere close to that price beforehand. If just those two bits of info aren't enough for you then I honestly don't know what is.

The market they are trying to create, same way they created the market for retro games as we know it. Used to be just a whole bunch of regional collectors until the collectors noticed that a few people were just buying up tons of stuff but weren't selling it. A few years later we see the bullshit media piece about a sealed copy of Super Mario Bros selling for a million dollars. Yeah a sealed copy of a game that had millions of copies printed is somehow worth a million dollars. Nope just the owners buying and selling it to themselves to try and create a market to profit off of, and they did because people are dumb enough to fall for it.

Which is funny because odds are they are buying a product that won't work due to the battery in the cartridges not working anymore. They would be better off spending less money and getting one with a replaced battery.

I could probably make a pretty penny selling all of my old games but fuck paying someone to tell me how much something is worth. It isn't some antique it is a god damned game. Is it sealed? Do you have the box/manual? Does it work? Those are all of the variables that go into how much an old game is worth. If you think otherwise, send me $35 and I'll grade your response from 1-9.999999999 and if you pay me $35 more than once I'll another 9 on the end to make you feel better.

It is also time for shareholders to also be equally liable for any and all fines the company racks up. Not that they split the fine, the company pays the fine and the shareholders pay an equal amount, split up based on how much of the company they own. "But that could screw up retirement plans!!" I do not care. The damage this is doing to society as a whole is by far more damaging than retirement accounts not doing as well, which shouldn't even need to exist in a proper functioning society.

Not just butt sex.

I've corrected this a number of times but they were not stealing DVD players in the first Fast and Furious movie. They were stealing VCRs, VCR/TV combos along with camcorders. Picture of the back of the truck

Now what is stopping someone from making a Union Jack Sack?

Oh one thing you have to look forward to is Steve getting a lot of singing parts, which are honestly amazing. In one episode he becomes part of a boy band and unironically the song slaps, context doesn't really matter so if you want to see it then here is a shot of B12. The insurance fraud episode features Terry Crews rapping as well. Seth Macfarlane loves his musical numbers.

American Dad has a few ups and downs but does get better as the seasons go on. You haven't even seen the best Roger moments. The first 3 or so seasons they were still finding the footing of the characters but still has plenty of great moments. The Christmas episodes are all high points of every season. The quality does drop off slightly later on but still remains quite solid.
