I'll say it here, too: this is a well-done, touching video. No idea how that happened, but props.

Triforce Johnson: The world's most patient gamer [Polygon article]
- Thread starter Good Job Bob
- Start date
After the video finished, youtube autoplayed Arthur's Wii U video review. Holy shit the difference in quality is astonishing.
The only thing that is truly good about Polygon is their Features team/department. They do amazing work. Screw the reviews team and the 'news' team, Polygon should put more resources and emphasis to the Features team, 'cause it's apparent it's the only amazing thing about the website, and what really sets it off from the others.

They made a documentary about themselves. What do you think?

Wait... what?
I think the very definition of impatience is waiting in line a month for a system because you want to be first.

You could read the article but dunno... (He manages a Pro gaming group called 'Empire Arcadia' or EMP for shorts)

Well let's be real. On the list of reasons why he's doing this actually playing a Wii-U probably ranks pretty low
Oh yeah. Whoops. I just look at their stuff and start to vomit because their brains must have been swapped with those of hip, edgy teens.

If being a lifeless twat is being 'patient', then yeah! King of kings baby.

He may be a dweeb, but whatever - just let the man live.
He's clearly not an idiot - he's gone to college, worked to pay his bills and put a roof over his head, been married and lived life like an average dude. No reason to hate because of his hobby.
Every person on this forum isn't that far removed from him and his passion for games, anyway. I might not be part of some fighting game training house, but I've played in events they've been at. You might not be in lines for stuff, and you might not have changed your name to some game thing, but you probably have more than a few pieces of game-related memorabilia or something.
Anyone on this forum is probably a little bit more of a gamer than the average Madden or COD bro.

Well according to the article, that was an addition to his first name. His full name is "Isaiah Triforce" Johnson.

If he wanted to do something crazy, he could have called himself Link Zelda Ganondorf.

Isn't the Power Glove a Mattel product, not a Nintendo one?

Not familure with the guy other then knowing a lot of people hate him but how does Triforce make a living?

Maybe. But I still think the "worlds most patient gamer" title goes to this man:
I like the "Don't wait for it!!!" bit at the top of the receipt.

*salutes* I also like the state of the art phone.
I enjoyed the video- it was really interesting to see him explain his routine, and to do it so candidly. Yeah, his personality may be abrasive/awkward with the FGC, but the video portrays a different side. His whole "passing this on to the younger generation" was interesting too- he's hanging up his launch status? Whoa!

Is it ok for him to do it to others though and stir up shit in the fgc just so he can have another short time in the spotlight over and over and over again. It's cool he's done this and that takes dedication, but a ton of the flak comes from people that knows his more portrayed personality.
The people making low blows about divorce and stuff would be kinda bad buuuuuut you know that other stuff
In defense of the guy though, here's this

She thought he meant something different when he promised more waggle in their relationship.

Now he gets to waggle by himself....

Yeah I guess but that's giving him attention he hasn't earned in entertaining this. Like how is this anyone's problem but his?
Now I know what the power glove is for.
On topic, we all do stupid shit...just most of us don't get articles written about us to point and laugh at. If Polygon had done an article on how I shuffled $1.34 from one account to another through paypal to another separate account just to have $2.00 to rent ACIII from redbox for one night while I waited on my shipment a couple weeks ago I'd look like an irresponsible gaming loon too.

I am a gamer, also work retail at 27, and live at home with my parents. Plus I've never had a girlfriend. I feel miserable about it every day.
