A Better Shave For Gamers

[Anton P. Nym]

Bad product (5 blades? c'mon...) but I, for one, support their willingness to dump inordinate quantities of moolah into sponsoring game development and video game events in an attempt to sell this monstrosity. If their money's in games, they're not going to be backing the Jacko (the Whacko) Thompsons in the courts.

*puts his face in his hands*

I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Maybe a cleanly shaven face in your hands will help a gamer like you decide.

What I really want to know is what will the first six-bladed razor be called, and who will the target market be? My guess-

Name: The Gillette Roku
Target market: Asian Wannabes

 

[Extravaganza]

dear sweet Cthulhu, that is monumentally idiotic.

Fact - Did you know OP is retarded???

 

[SmugFrog]

Are the guys in the picture trying to force choke me? Or trying to force persuade me into buying it? I'm confused; and their insane tactics are not working on me.

My wife saw one of these in the store. Thank God she didn't get it for me.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

If internet quizzes are to be believed (and they are!), if I keep scruffy-looking I'm Gandalf, but if I shave I become Saruman. The line between good and evil is razor thin...

Your puns. They hurt me. They hurt me so.

I will settle for nothing less than <a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV42I26tx2s' target=_blank>this.

i see your quintipio and raise you this

as for the razor, they're all the same really

 

[Inverse Skies]

Bah. Real gamers have BEARDS.

Oh no! Not me. First thing when I wake up is straight out with the electric razor (I wouldn't but the one advertised here, I cut myself waaaaaay too often with a manual) to cut off the nasty stubble that invades my face. I'm a clean cut gamer.

 

[Markness]

I never knew news could be so entertaining.

 

[Radelaide]

Stupider than the stupidest thing ever, and with a little extra stupid to put it over the edge.

5 blades of stupid? I wonder how it would go shaving legs?

What's next? A gamer toothbrush? Actually, that might have some use... quicktime-event toothbrushing?

"Press X not to get cavities"?

This is kinda sad. May be it comes with a controller and it's a game like Katamari, except you've gotta roll the razor around, not missing patches?

 

[Corven]

I saw some of these on display in Walgreens a couple of week ago, and thought pretty much the same things people have posted in this thread.

 

[Slayer_2]

Wow... if any gamer buys this, I will die of humiliation from being known as a gamer.

 

[Flying-Emu]

Bah. Real gamers have BEARDS.

Agreed.

Now, if they made the Super Mario Brothers trimming scissors, which would play the Mario theme as long as the snips were fairly consistent...

 

[tthor]

dont most gamers tend to lack facial hair? so why would we need a really good razor?
...wait a minute, of COURSE! this isnt focused at gamers, but wannabe gamers, who want to look like they are real gamers by shaving off their facial hair
....um wait, why would someone want to be a true gamer

 

[tthor]

It'd be a gamer razor if they had pac man on it that you could play while you shaved. There'd probably be a lot of people accidentally cutting themselves, but I'd probably buy it.

of course, its perfect!
the true gamer razor. you press a little button, and pacman pops out of your razor. then you just use a joystick and make him eat the hair XD

 

[Labyrinth]

Bah. Real gamers have BEARDS.

I resent that. No matter how much I game, never shall facial hair populate my jaw.

What next, I wonder? 1337 pens, guaranteed to only write in webspeak so long as you don't use them any other way? Shirts with a -4 THACO bonus? Where will the consumerism end? It's nothing more than money-grubbing and a vague attempt to appeal to demographics. There are so many better ways to do it.

Here's a genius idea! Have an add in which a gorgeous woman uses the razor on her legs or something, then cut to a shot of a gamer using the same brand blade! That'll sell. If it's good enough for her...

 

[Zippy1313]

Real men don't use anything less than the Warp 2000.

Fuck yeah! I am getting one tomorrow!

 

[Fenring]

Yet another reason for me to stop shaving. I think I'd look good with a beard.
