triforce cooking his rare liquid gold for him

 

[Zakalwe]

Aww, dude's been doing this a while now. Look how cute he was five years ago!

Seems like a silly stunt, he obviously won't be waiting in line for this entire time but perhaps he'll have some fun adventures around NYC while he waits. Seems like an average guy just trying to make a living on Youtube, good luck to him.

 

[btrboyev]

and I'll have it waiting at my door step on day 1. Haha.

 

[kingofthedead45]

You cant get knew moand ya in cold weather

Wut.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Wut.

Don't question genius.

 

[Type40]

I'll have one before him since best buy is doing midnight launch at select stores, and NWNY won't be open till 10am.

 

[kennyamr]

and I'll have it waiting at my door step on day 1. Haha.

UPS always gets here around 8 or 9 am so yea.

 

[sneas78]

He said first person in line to get one. I don't get the hate.

 

[_PsiFire_]

I wonder if the Nintendo Store did pre-orders....and if they sold out with pre-orders...and this guy waits a month for nothing...

 

[Alpende]

Some people do everything for views.

 

[FonkyByNature]

I will never understand that kind of stuff but i'm pretty sure it's staged. I mean the guy has to shower, eat, take a dump etc. and all that without getting beat by some bad dudes, what a waste of life or maybe it's the views on YouTube ? don't know anymore...

 

[sangreal]

youtube in-line for hits, 1 month out

 

[sixteen-bit]

Lol Triforce

 

[Shiggy]

It's gorilla glass bro.

Any source on this? Would love it to be true.

 

[Spiral Insanity]

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



It's gorilla glass bro.

If it is, why did Nintendo include a screen protector with the official case?

 

[Milly Osworth]

Smart kid, he will get attention like this.

 

[Shaanyboi]

So he's committed to standing alone on the street for 3 and a half months?

EDIT: Weeks. god fucking damnit.

 

[Waluigilicious]

Can't get myself to like him. You know those people who try to look like they're a nice person but you can kinda see through it from some actions... I get that vibe from him. Feels like he's faking most of his emotions. Kinda the opposite of Etika actually who openly messes about and does dumb things but you can tell he's actually a nice person.

Looked at one of his older videos and he was kind of a dick to one of his friends, just as I expected. He talks about getting bullied for liking Nintendo but it probably isn't just that.

 

[PapaEmeritus]

eh- i have responsibilities, couldnt dream of doing this

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Triforce is slacking

I thought he quit and wanted to pass the torch onto a new generation of Nintendo fans, at least that is what he said during the last console launch.

 

[PAULINK]

his fake enthusiasm at the beginning of the video is too much

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

y

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

This is dumb. He will not be the first person in the world to obtain a Nintendo Switch. Europe, Asia and Australasia are all far ahead of the US as far as time zones go. Many people, myself included will be playing theirs before he even gets into the store.

 

[BareKnuckle]

that part when he's running up to the mario statue was like this

 

[Enduin]

K... I mean I'll be getting mine Midnight by just strolling up to Best Buy to pickup my preorder. Like I get that this is to promote his channel and apparent career on YouTube, but a month? Whyyyyy.

 

[Seik]

Now THAT is a pure, purist, top of the line, devoted, loyal fan. :lol

This is fucking insane.

 

[kobu]

Just pre order that shit from best buy and it will probably show up 2 days early.

 

[Wagram]

Someone remind this man that the internet exists for a reason.

 

[hemo memo]

This is dumb. He will not be the first person in the world to obtain a Nintendo Switch. Europe, Asia and Australasia are all far ahead of the US as far as time zones go. Many people, myself included will be playing theirs before he even gets into the store.

It's about the daily vlog and views to the channel = money. So no it's not that dumb.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

I watched the first 20 seconds of the video and was immediately turned off by his mannerism and delivery.

 

[DMiz]

A fairly young kid flew to New York City to be the first person in the world to obtain a Nintendo Switch on March 3rd. I don't really understand how he is going to do this but he plans on waiting at the store for a month.

I think he dropped out of school to pursue YouTube. Pretty insane that he's doing this. He posts daily vlogs, I think. I am really curious as to how he's doing this.

I get that YouTube can be a passion career, but this honestly concerns me quite often when reading stories about the hosts of some channels. I realize you have to sacrifice for art - and frequently, for success - but I guess the question that sits at the back of my mind is: "Would it really have made a difference for you to have started the channel a few years down the line, after completing the rest of your schooling?"

Yes, the nature of YouTube right now is contingent on hits and viral videos, but I don't see how when you choose to start our channel might necessarily depend on that... unless you are hoping to catch the bandwagon (a la the Nintendo Switch) and thinking it will carry you onwards for years.

 

[Spukc]

that youtuber is a greenhorn,

THIS BAWS counted to 100.000 in one video.

Spoiler

yay internet

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

This is such a stupid thing to do, honestly.

 

[ThomasAnderson]

The thirst for money is real

Fixed. No different from the rest of the world. I wouldn't do it but as long as he's having fun go for it.

 

[tiijj]

So he's committed to standing alone on the street for 3 and a half months?

3 and a half months??

 

[marmoka]

Natural selection

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

So he's committed to standing alone on the street for 3 and a half months?

Less than 4 weeks.

 

[Alebrije]

He's doing it for money so not stupid

 

[thiscoldblack]

The thirst for YT views is real

.

 

[Spiral Insanity]

So he's committed to standing alone on the street for 3 and a half months?

What year is this, how does time work. If I close my eyes, can people see me?

 

[13ruce]

I am a huge Zelda fan lol but this is insane.
Even if i was a youtuber i would not do something that dumb.

 

[Plumpbiscuit]

What's stopping other stores/retailers opening a day or few hours earlier lmao

 

[Lynd7]

He should try and setup a stream lol

 

[Spieler Eins]

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Was hoping it was papi g funk.

I have such a hard time understanding him ._.

 

[kpaadet]

He's gonna be so sad when he finds out about Nintendo's YouTube policies isn't he? Also why would you waste your life standing in line for a month for anything let alone a video game console.

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

I remember I used to go to midnight launches of games when I was younger.

Halo, GTA, Gears etc. I have honestly never been around as many smelly people as were in those lines. That awful smell of BO.

I soon stopped going.


This is purely for attention and views on YouTube, nothing more.

 

[Nbz]

Nooooooooooo my man Triforce giving up the ghost. Fair enough though, waiting a month is just insanity
