Triforce really just there to get a free meal tbh.

Lmao.

 

[NHarmonic.]

This is dumb.
But if he wants to do it, power to him.

 

[JaseMath]

So...do these people not bathe for a month? Do you just have take-out food delivered to you? What about the bathroom?

 

[Neoxon]

This is why I pre-ordered.

 

[Skux]

What's the chance Nintendo botches his preorder?

 

[KZXcellent]

What's the chance Nintendo botches his preorder?

Then this becomes the best video series.

 

[AdanVC]

I was totally sure this was going to be our Joy Con Boy, Etika. I have seen some videos of this CND guy and he is truly a massive Nintendo fan but damn, no need to do this... But I guess it's perfect to attract attention to his channel and it seems it's working so far.

 

[Malice215]

If I didn't have a career or a family to take care of or any other responsibilities to worry about, I'd do some crazy shit like wait outside of a store for a month with Triforce for a video game console. Just watch him at the diner though.

I'll just walk in and grab my preorder like everyone else.

 

[Kamina]

One month outside, in winter?

 

[Outtrigger888]

There's no way he's sitting out in front of the store right now. If I lived in New York I'd plant a chair down just to see his reaction when he shows up.

 

[Crazyorloco]

I'm in new york city. I should steal his thunder and go and wait there. I doubt he's there now.

 

[Forearm Star]

Triforce is slacking

First person I thought of when I read the thread title.

Why does this always happen for Nintendo hardware releases?

 

[paragonpro]

I couldnt stomach to watch more than a minute of that annoying kid

 

[Sushigod7]

I'm sad I clicked the link and made him money. I get lining up is fun I've done it but a month? Bathroom, showers, electricity? That is also a busy area during the day I can't imagine the city or the store will let it fly this far in advance.

 

[Madao]

first person in the world and he lines on an american store?

he already lost. japanese people will be playing Switch before the US store has even opened.

Someone walk down there and tell him please. Live stream.

 

[Hattori]

wwwwwwwwwww

 

[nbnt]

Funny that a YouTuber is doing this considering Nintendo and their YouTube policies.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

FIRST!

 

[BGBW]

If you want to be the first person in the world to publicly get something, don't do it in a American timezone.

Most of the world will have already got it without the need to waste a month of their life outside one shop.

 

[Mihos]

Funny, every time I order from Best Buy I get new releases a day before release. I should text a picture to him of me in my pajamas getting mine off my own porch before he gets his.

 

[Fraeon]

I came here to make a Triforce joke.

I'm late.

 

[cordy]

Nintendo's gonna pull him aside in a few days and say "listen kid, just show up here at this time and you'll be the first" and he's good.

 

[Roufianos]

It's sad that he's had to stoop to this level to get YouTube views.

 

[ConceptX]

Damn, Nintendo has a pretty nice store.

 

[Sushigod7]

It's sad that he's had to stoop to this level to get YouTube views.

100% this that intro to the video was embarrassing.

 

[Kintaco]

I'm hoping Triforce is helping him save the spot then at the last moment betrays him and takes the #1 spot on the line!

 

[RedAssedApe]

Just in case someone should stop by and tell him that retailers have released more preorder stock.

 

[ChosenPredator]

awesome good for him

 

[New002]

When the stores across the street stop allowing him access to their bathrooms what will he do then?



It's gorilla glass bro.

Donkey Kong Glass™

 

[vgamer1]

Just in case someone should stop by and tell him that retailers have released more preorder stock.

Best buy is already sold out.

 

[Nia]

Glad Triforce found someone to pass the torch to. I'll be watching his updates. It takes a lot of dedication to do something like this. I'm content to sit and wait for my preorder, but I can respect when someone wants to do this.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Triforce HAS to owe people money. Debt collectors ya'll know where to find him.

 

[Ivan A Nguyen]

Twitch IRL stream or it isn't happening. Still I'm going to watch. Any youtuber who can find a way to make money off nintendo without nintendo taking their hefty cut is worthy of patronage in my book. Change your policies Nintendo!

 

[Sr. Wiggles]

I'm confused... so this stunt is for views/subs, fine. But then once he acquires the system it's not like he can use it to make money via videos / streaming, right? Thought Nintendo didn't allow that sort've thing?

 

[Cuburt]

But people in Japan will have it before him because of timezones 🤔

Time for him to fly to Japan if he doesn't want to be beat.

 

[Bronetta]

I don't have anything nice to say about this nor do I think its a good idea. I'll refrain from calling the guy a loser/idiot though.

 

[DMONKUMA]

Couldn't he just do a unboxing video to get the views????

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

I bet I drive by at 4AM in a week and he's not there.

 

[qa_engineer]

So this is a thing eh?

To each his own.

Thats not enough. Gotta

every last view

They do, he'll just have to partner with Nintendo and share ad revenue for Nintendo related content, I believe.

That seems to be what upsets YouTubers since they refuse to share ad revenue with Nintendo and think their content should be protected under "Fair Use" while YouTube has tools which skew towards protecting copyright holders.

 

[bryt]

Triforce is gonna poison this kid's mind and recruit him into EMP.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Y'all do know he goes back home at 9pm right? It's a 9am to 9pm thing.

 

[Hasney]

But people in Japan will have it before him because of timezones 🤔

Hell, I'll have mine before 10:30am GMT, so I'll have him beat.

 

[SuperBlank]

That's some real dedication.

Too bad it's dedication to a really dumb idea.

 

[Audette]

I could see somebody doing this without a pre-order. Using the views and popularity as leverage to try and get a free one from sympathy and public outcry, having been denied one after the whole wait.

 

[Lynd7]

first person in the world and he lines on an american store?

he already lost. japanese people will be playing Switch before the US store has even opened.

Haha oh yeah, I'll also beat him in AU probably.

 

[Bronetta]

Y'all do know he goes back home at 9pm right? It's a 9am to 9pm thing.

Whats the point then?
