Thoth Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 Today, EBGames and Gamestops around the country had a Mario Kart DS tournament. I went to my local EB, and found one 8 year old accompanied by his parents as my only challenger. So I came out with this really gaudy, dumb, fake-sounding necklace that says "Nintendo Power play Saturday Champion" on it. I'll post a picture later. Anyone else go today?
Guest Princess Leena Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 How could you beat the 8 year old. A couple years ago, I won this Hot Shots Golf tournament against teenage kids at a Gamecrazy. I beat the crap out of them, and felt like a shmuck. So, I gave them the crappy t-shirts I won. But, then they bothered me more for being nice, so it was all a disaster.
MrRant Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 They just probably were hoping you would let them gangbang you.
Guest Smues Posted September 10, 2006 Report Posted September 10, 2006 I was at a Gamestop today but they weren't having any competition. No lame necklace for me
AndrewTS Posted September 10, 2006 Report Posted September 10, 2006 I'm shocked considering how much they promoted it.... Seriously, I've been to 3 stores this week and never heard of this.
haws bah gawd Posted September 10, 2006 Report Posted September 10, 2006 My store didn't promote this whatsoever. We do have several t-shirts, stickers, and the official Nintendo *BLING* necklace. Yes, the damned thing was called an "Official Nintendo Bling Necklace" on the packing list for the box that contained all the promo items. The necklace is a 2+ pound silver crown on a thick sterling silver chain. So, since no tournament took place today, my manager said hes going to give the bling to the associate with the best productivity neck week. Oh joyous day! I wonder what one of those things would sell for on Ebay?
fazzle Posted September 10, 2006 Report Posted September 10, 2006 Well I know *I* would personally pay out the wazoo for Official Nintendo Bling.
Thoth Posted September 10, 2006 Author Report Posted September 10, 2006 Well I know *I* would personally pay out the wazoo for Official Nintendo Bling. If you're serious, PM me, and I will totally sell it to you.
Youth N Asia Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 How could you beat the 8 year old. "We do not train to be merciful here. Mercy is for the weak. Here, in the streets, in competition. A man confronts you he is the enemy. An enemy deserves no mercy. What is the problem Mr. Lawrence?" --wise man
Sideburnious Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 I'm still shocked Thoth was a big enough bastard to crush an eight year olds spirit.
AndrewTS Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 I'd take an official Nintendo bling if it was like a gold necklace with a triforce.
Youth N Asia Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 After winning I can only hope he got inches from the child's face and busted a "You can't seeeeee me"
Scroby Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 So Nintendo is doing the Summer Saturday Series with EB and Gamestop now? Nintendo for the past two years has done the same thing with Gamecrazy but for some reason this year they didn't. Now I know why.
Rendclaw Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 Leena, Hot Shots is tough enough. Its not your fault none of the kids know how to play a golf game. Kick their snot-nosed asses and walk away with the prize and worry no more next time.
haws bah gawd Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 Feel free to delete this post.
haws bah gawd Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 Here is a shot of the *BLING* that I took with my cell phone while at work today. Bask in its glory!

Kick their snot-nosed asses and walk away with the prize and worry no more next time. It was really bad, too. Since I was one of the best players online at that time, too. Shooting -20 every round, while these kids barely knew what they were doing. It sucked.

Thoth Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Posted September 12, 2006 After winning I can only hope he got inches from the child's face and busted a "You can't seeeeee me" No, but the final match took place on Mario Circuit 1 from SNES, and I shouted, "This one's before your time, kid!" Then I followed with a "Seeya!" as I boosted off the line. I don't normally snake, but I snaked the hell out of him. The best part was his parents saying, "That's not fair! He's going faster than you!"
FroGG_NeaL Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 HAHA. I hope you talked shit to the kid the entire race, yeah bitch, wassup now, uh uh uh, get some, get some, yeah!
Thoth Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Posted September 13, 2006 HAHA. I hope you talked shit to the kid the entire race, yeah bitch, wassup now, uh uh uh, get some, get some, yeah! No, but I did get a phone call during the match, and I answered it. "Hello? No, sorry can't talk right now, I'm in a tournament. Yeah, right now, as I'm talking to you! No, just one other kid. I'll call you back in a few."
Guest Vitamin X Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 I'm still shocked Thoth was a big enough bastard to crush an eight year olds spirit. I'm not. I mean, just look at his avatar! If that doesn't just scream impending doom in sandals, I don't know what does.
Thoth Posted October 7, 2006 Author Report Posted October 7, 2006 The second power play saturday was today. I went; the game was New Super Mario Brothers. THE SAME KID SHOWED UP. After I won, the mother said to her kid, "You did a good job." I laughed just loud enough for people to hear if they were paying attention. I mean, fuck, it wasn't even close. 10 stars to 0 each time. He wasn't even being aggressive. That's not a good job. That's a fucking terrible job. He should be ashamed of the way he played. I didn't take the chain this time, I took the T-Shirt.
Hawkius Maximus Posted October 7, 2006 Report Posted October 7, 2006 ...I believe there is a special place in hell for actions such as those.

The Amazing Rando Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 if he shows up the next time you should give him just a tiny bit of hope at the beginning before crushing him like an ant at the end.
