Brianna Wu / John Flynt - DEAGLE NATION STILL LIVES

[Jaimas]

One more thing, and I realize that I may be really stretching here, but it doesn't look like there's a license plate on that bike. If you look at the hires pic, you can see grass through the lower hole which there should be a screw attaching the plate. Even if it were only attached from the top, you should be able to see the edge of it through the hole or along the side of the mount.

She doesn't have a license nor a vehicle registered in her name.

Wait, John Flynt, a failed game developer, who has nothing to show and didn't even apply to have a booth at PAX East is mad that the two biggest webcomic creators didn't personally reach out to him?

He realizes, they have huge, legitimate companies that go to their conventions, right? That their conventions are so popular that they run Pax Prime, Pax South, Pax East, Pax Aus, and Pax for developers, right? That they are often contracted to make comics for massive game developers. And John Flynt, a literally nobody that doesn't even have a game, thinks they should have called him.

Hah, Wu has more than 20 bucks worth of the premium currency in that shitty Star Trek game right now...

Who knows how much of Frank's money she's spent in total on this thing, just so she can boast about her leader board position. I'm guessing hundreds, at least.

Does Frank?

 

[Count groudon]

Wu just bought the trannycycle so she could show off what a badass biker grrl he is. I mean remember this is the guy who has spent a lifetime throwing away money on pointless shit he doesn't use/need in a sad attempt to make himself feel like he's above everyone else.

Hell yeah, I think I can figure out a minimum she's spent. Okay, you can see her VIP level up in the corner. She's VIP level 14. Every time you spend real money in this game, you earn points that go towards raising your VIP level, which earns you little perks like avatars and crew member slots.

Level 14 is literally the max VIP level in the game right now. It requires 50,000 points to get to that level. If she bought the biggest dilithium crystal packs, which is 8200 crystals for, I believe $100 US, she would get 5000 VIP points. So do the math. So she's got AT LEAST $1000 real American dollars sunk into this game. Because that's not counting any money she spent beyond that would push her past that VIP 14 level.

That's $1000 that could have gone towards a new craptop so he could FINISH HIS GAME!

 

[Coldgrip]

TL;DR: No, it doesn't look as if it's been used at all. This could be explained by excellent upkeep, but nothing I've seen from Wu would make me believe that this is the case. Someone who can't be bothered to dust their figurine shelves before a promo pic isn't going to be on their hands and knees cleaning stickers on the bottom of their motorcycle.

Considering John can't even keep his figurine collection dusted there's no way he'd have a clue about proper motorcycle maintenance and cleaning.

That's $1000 that could have gone to a lot of things, like vet bills, or a dog trainer. But instead, it goes to feminism, or something.

 

[Count groudon]

That's $1000 that could have gone towards a new craptop so he could FINISH HIS GAME!

Or $1000 that could have easily been donated to a women's shelter or any other charity that's been pissed away into a shitty pay to win game so that John can feel like a genuine winner for once in his life.

Seems solid enough for me. I had some spare time today and messed around with the game. I feel like I hit the money wall real quick on it so her getting so damn far is real telling. Time for a tracker update!

From February 9 to today, April 22, 2016, Brianna Wu has spent at least $1,354.91 on video games.

Her increased spending on mobile games would make sense as Brianna has spent a lot less on console/PC games than she usually does (I think I had her average at three new games a month at one point). I guess Wu feels she has nothing to gain from playing another fifteen minutes of a Dark Souls game just to sperg about it on Twitter.

EDIT: For further reference, here's what she's bought and the estimated play time for each game.

Firewatch - 2.5 hours
Dangan Ronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc - 1.4 hours
Undertale - 1.4 hours
XCOM 2 - 1 hour
Nitroplus Blasterz - 7-10 hours (Wu sure loves the waifu fighters)
Street Fighter V - 5-6 hours
Far Cry: Primal - 1.5 hours
Tom Clancy's The Division - 5-7 hours
Day of the Tentacle: Remastered - 0.4 hours

Shitty Mobile Games - who the hell knows

Another fun note that some of us have already picked up on: most of Brianna's play time is between 1:00 AM and 5:00 AM just from looking at her information. Sounds an awful lot like another prolific lolcow we follow on this site.

Eh, well that's only 2 weeks' worth of free Patreon money. No biggie.

 

[AnOminous]

I don't care if you're a millionaire, if you spend $1,000 on some shitty pay to win game, you are a complete fucking loser and you should be put against a wall and shot.

The most use that bike gets is when he sets it up for pictures.

In this photo from last summer, Flynt/Wu has actually pushed his bike out into the street in order to have a photo taken to give the misimpression that he's driving the damned thing.

As always, he fails miserably. Even children can tell that the bike is standing still while Flynt/Wu twitches his head about in a ludicrous attempt to create an illusion that the bike is moving.

Also, Massachusetts has a mandatory helmet law. So Flynt/Wu is breaking the law if the bike is even running. Has anyone seen a helmet in any of the bike photos or any images shot inside the Dust Palace?

I just want to see him sitting on it sidesaddle.

These false eyelashes she put in this poor innocent motorcycle are a crime against taste.

Nitroplus Blasterz - 7-10 hours (Wu sure loves the waifu fighters)

Has he yet to sperg out because one of the characters is named Ethica or would that reveal too much of his power level?

(though it might have been written as Echika in the translation, according to google translate that word means ethics but Wu wouldn't know that)

actually scratch that. pretty sure Ethica is the official translation

 

[Chan the Wizard]

Are the even any pictures of him sitting on it?
I never noticed before now that every picture is him standing next to it.
