The Average Lies
You go to the local game shop that is a sponsor of GameCube and get ready for something like this…
(Gamer walks into the store)
Trickster1= How can I help you son?
Gamer= I want to buy a system today.
(The trickster’s eyes open widely and he turns around)
Trickster1= Ed we got a gamer here!
(Trickster2 walks from outside a door and stands beside the first trickster)
Trickster1= Well, you should get a GameCube. Did you know that it has the best games and it has great graphics.
Gamer= Wow!
Trickster2= The GameCube allows you to play with four friends and one day it will be worth a lot of money.
Trickster1= It transforms into an action figure if you treat it good and if you buy one along with a memory card, cheerleaders will fly out of the GameCube and bounce around your whole room.
(The speechless gamer passes the money to the tricksters then the tricksters gives him the cube with a memory card)
Poor defenseless gamers are reduced to nothing as they fall into a trap that catches so many. But sadly the tricks are getting more convincing and the gamers are getting more gullible…
The Buy it Get This Free Technique
This technique has been used so many times that it is fading away and it usually only happens to the fairly dumb but it still surprises gamers when they are unguarded from attack…
(Gamer walks into store)
Trickster1= Ed we got another one!
(Trickster2 stops looking through the supply and stands next to trickster1)
Gamer= Um, I want to um …..buy a um…..PS2 controller.
Trickster1= You are sooo lucky because today we have a special.
Trickster2= Yea, today you can buy a PS2 controller and get a piece of string free!
Gamer= Um that’s um…. killer!
Trickster1= Did you know if you give us an extra 10 we will give you a cat! Oh, and if you add 100 dollars we will give you the controller, the string, the cat, a safety pin, and a backrub!
Trickster2= Better yet if you give us 200 dollars we will give you only the controller totally FREE!!
Gamer= Dude that’s um…. killer!
(Gamer gives the tricksters the money and the tricksters give him the controller)
This man isn’t really that dunce. At least compared to the next gamer…
The Pay And Run Trick
(Gamer stumbles through the store doors)
Trickster1= Ed here’s another fool …..I mean gamer.
(Trickster2 gets off the chair he bought with the another gamer’s 200 dollars and stands next to his partner)
Gamer= Like hi. I like want to like buy Britney’s Dance Beat because Britney is like my total girl.
(Gamer laughs uncontrollably as the tricksters watch)
Trickster1= Well that would be 7 billion dollars miss.
(Gamer passes money to tricksters)
Trickster2= Now we need you to close your eyes and count to 1,000,000,000,000,000,000.
Gamer= Like sure no like prob.
(Gamer starts counting)
By the time this gamer opens her eyes the tricksters will have moved the stores location and left to another town. How very sad it is that this happens so often. If you think that’s the dumbest gamers could get, you haven’t heard of this next occasion…
The It’s invisible Trick
(Gamer trips over and over again as he enters the door of the game shop)
Gamer= I recon I be buying the best video gamer youz all gots in her.
Trickster1= Ed we got a really smart one here.
(Trickster2 stops counting all his money and stands beside trickster1)
Trickster2= Sir, do you want to know a secret?
Gamer= Tell me your tiny little se-cat.
(Trickster2 extends his right hand to the man and opens it to reveal that noting is there)
Gamer= What in tarnation youz all gots there?
Trickster1= It’s the best game in the world! To use it all you have to do is throw it at your television and it will began playing. It’s invisible!
(Trickster2 hand the man the “invisible game”)
Trickster1= In total that would be 70 trillion dollars please.
Gamer= How much is that in chickens?
Trickster1= We only accept money sir.
(Gamer gives the trickster the money and leaves with a smile on his face)
Now how sad was that?
In conclusion all this has got to stop. But I don’t think we will ever live in a world without trickery.
THE END
