do you not remember the whole "diablo infinite" thing?
I didn't know what you were talking about and looked it up... holy shit they both really did bitch about the crowd not liking the stupid fucking diablo mobile game, and were supporting blizzard. I did glance and see this comment that summed up their shitty podcast quite nicely though.
Pat's podcast... Oh boy, I always wonder why people listen. A video game podcast hosted by a man who hasn't followed the hobby since 1995, and a man who doesn't follow the hobby but thinks he's an expert cause he works retail. It's like listening to a movie news podcast hosted by a man who has only ever watched or follows children's films between 1985 and 1990, and a man who hates films but works at an AMC ripping tickets and cleaning up popcorn.
but yeah i worked at a pc shop and we'll be as lazy as fucking possible with whatever gets dropped off, three days minimum. 99% of people are fine with it since they think computers are magic and we're wizards and we need to spend time casting spells or something on them to get them back up again, but you'd get that 1% that get turbo butthurt and call every hour asking if it's done yet then they throw a bitchfit that they need their 10 year old lenovo with a busted screen fixed NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW. most of the time we'd just tell people it's not worth fixing and to buy a new one.
draining and refilling a water cooling system is fucking retarded, you're rich faggot just buy a new one. you blew $10K+ on fucking gold-colored plastic don't tell me you don't have the money.
I worked at a repair shop for a little bit as well ages ago, and I think the minimum turn around was 5 days? That scene in Star Trek where Scotty explains to Geordi that you don't ever say you can do a 2 hour job in 2 hours, you say you can do it in 6 and end up as a miracle worker is the truth. Last thing you'd want is to promise a 1 day turn around, some shit goes unexpectedly wrong(maybe due to your own fault or just a bad initial diag) and suddenly it takes 3 fucking days would cause nothing but bitching. But if we told someone 5 days, and then called them on day 3 to pick it up and only charge 'em $80 or whatever for the simple shit they were always happy(and sometimes become repeat customers).
And yeah, thinking about getting an irate frantic retard freaking out because he can't drain and fill his own custom watercooling loop is dumb as shit and I wouldn't want his business either. Realistically you can't charge much for that, or like I said you quote a "go away, we don't want to do this" price, or just ghost the idiot.
Getting to the actual AVGN video
From the latest Cinemassacre video on theaters
justin.mp4
I wonder if he did that intentionally for that fatass.
As far as the rest of the video. Yeah, the ads are fucking ridiculous. I get why the theaters do it, it's because the distributors keep fucking them on ticket revenue, but it's an industry that's choking itself from the top down.
The fees and subscriptions, again bullshit attempts to get more revenue to make up for being fucked by the distributors, to make up for the inflated production costs. You can actually tell when these production costs got truly stupid, 2007 pirates of the caribbean 3, 300 million dollar budget, adjusted for inflation 500 million. pirates of the caribbean 2 was "only" 225 million in 2006, which is only 377 million adjusted for inflation. They were willing to crank the budgets up because they realized they had a billion dollar franchise on their hands. And that still doesn't take into account marketing costs.
Concessions, even back in the day I rarely bought 'em, just cost too damned much. For the rest of the video he's just bitching about the modern theater experience, which is the point but... yeah anyone who didn't already hold these opinions is an idiot.
The complaint about the movie poster signage is dumb though.
