Finally! Soulja Boy reviews Braid

Okay, we have to come clean: we haven't actually bought Braid. Yes, we dumped effusive praise upon its digital being. We even devoted an entire feature to convincing people how great it is, but still we did not buy it. Why? Because we were awaiting the learned opinion of one man. Yes, that man is (of course) Soulja Boy. We'd like to attempt to summarize his opinion of Braid but, frankly, it has a profound eloquence that cannot be captured by mere mortals like us. Suffice it to say that you're just going to have to watch it yourself. Find it after the break (it's NSFW, by the way).

The depressing thing is that prat is richer than me, you and everyone else. Proof the world is wrong in so many ways when a jackass like that can be successful.

This stupid Soulja Boy crap has got to stop.

This site I thought was for actual gaming news not crap from unimportant stupid so-called famous people who can't talk putting up crappy reviews on youtube. XBox 360 Fanboy has sunk to a new low.

Soulja Boy is so stupid kid who stays home all day getting high wasting his brain cells away getting money from crappy music he makes when in fact he should go back to school to learn how to read, writing and talk like a real human. Instead of staying home getting high and being amused by anything that might happen in a video game and then make a post about it on you or myspace or whatever crap site he goes to to post this crap.

Xbox 360 fanboy make sure you post real new for now on not this kind of crap.

You should talk...

"...putting up crappy reviews on youtube."

Have you seen youtube? It's filled with crappy reviews. This one is at least entertaining.

"Soulja Boy is so stupid kid..."

Nice grammar.

"...he should go back to school to learn how to read, writing [sic] and talk like a real human."

Again, WHO should go learn how to write? Excuse me, go 'writing'?

I find your sense of irony, or lack thereof, hilarious.

wah wah wah wah wah

Would you people STFU about "This isn't news, don't post it here!! You make me cry, post real stuff!!"

This was a review about an XBLA game with a humorous edge to it. It relates to the 360, therefore it doesn't NOT belong on here.

If you don't like it, ignore it and move to the next news item, don't spend it whining and moaning on a comment board for a 360 "news" site.

And yeah, he's an idiot - but that's what makes it FUNNY.

OK SugarDaddy,

Yes youtube is full of crap reviews all over the site. I really hate youtube and I do not find this video or most of the videos on youtube at all entertaining.

"And you should talk?" I don't go and upload any type of videos on youtube since I hate that site. So what are you talking about?

And about those grammar mistakes, as soon as I hit the add comment button I noticed them and could not go back and change them.

And it is also funny how you like to point out someone's mistakes of spelling in a post and yet find a video where someone who doesn't know how to speak correctly and trying to make a review of game but yet making himself sound retarded and making absolutely no sense and yet somehow you find that video entertaining.

Wow! Just wow!

Reply - Fail!

He gets to point out YOUR mistakes because you are trying to be the "holier than thou" man who thinks he's better than everyone who likes this.

Soulja boy is just what you see, at least he's not pretending to be smart.

And to be honest, I believe he is the one with the fancy automobiles and a bank account that has more zeroes than you can count.

So who is stupid and uneducated?

Well, him probably - but he at least knows how to make more money than you can possibly fathom.

This guy is totally smart and in no way a walking stereotype. I am now stupider for having watched it.

LMFAO! This makes me wanna get Braid! And why does there have to be so much drama about a funny yet retarded video? That's reality! There's probably more dumber videos than that on Youtube, because like me, you guys have probably seen them and wish that you had "this many seconds of your life back" and wished that that video never got filmed! Soulja Boy may be the most dumbest rapper in the business, but his music is catchy, it makes people laugh, and most of his songs are all dancing songs! At least he doesn't attempt to rap like most rappers these days who pretty much just suck and can't speak something truthful or wise and only speak what they think is "gangsta"! Most rappers say this and that and can't even make sense out of anything. I give props to Soulja Boy for just being himself and not like other wannabe, pretend-to-be gangster rappers who just rap for the soul purpose of only trying to get the money and the fame! So yeah, you might wanna think about why all this drama started, because really, it didn't even need to start in the first place. :D
