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).

I watched teh video and i have a few comments, is that two widescreen tvs he has, one with Halo 3 playing, i think it is, and i think thats how i would want it also. Secondly, can someone confirm if he has the full retain version or is that just the demo, thirdly as far as reviewing he got the point of the game pretty down pact, i think this guy and zero punctuation could do well together, fourthly, can we get this guy to write for x3f, i think hes got what it takes.

That shit wasn't even funny. All you people thinkin that video is funny must be half retarded.

X3F - Wow. That's pretty lame... sorry but you lost some credibility in my book. That's not very "for the gamers". You talk so highly of a game, and never even bought it or played the whole thing. Wtf.

tbh I never bought it either, i played the demo all minute and a half, & I never tried to coherce people into buying a pos game. And I sure as hell didn't do a 5 min video about how much I hate the game, but yet he still paid for it after probably playing the shit demo. this dude's totally homo, and his music sux worse than braid. :/

They reviewed their promotional copy, they didn't buy one.

Yes, of course we bought it -- with our own money. I was being sarcastic (and being fairly obvious about it, I thought).

I love Braid. It's all I talked about for two weeks. It's easily one of the best games on Xbox Live Arcade.

This has been your explanation of the sarcasm from Fouad (of Family Guy fame).

Dear god........... please don't take gaming away from us. Please no more 50 Cent nonsense... just leave us alone or I will have to kill these people or myself.

You should kill yourself Anticrawl, because one you knew exactly what was being posted and still came here and two because Soulja Boy makes more money in a week then you will in your lifetime, seems like a logical reason for suicide to me you can go join your hero Kurt Cobain yayyyyy!
