  1. Dead Battery? by guttentag · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    I can see the winner posting a series of YouTube videos:
    • feverishly unwrapping it
    • documenting the unboxing
    • inserting it into his NES
    • playing it for six hours
    • saving
    • coming back to find that his save is lost because the 25-year-old battery is dead
    • throwing a tantrum involving a lot of yelling and smashed ABS plastic
    • a sad, drunken admission that the only reason he bought it was because the battery in his old cartridge had died and he assumed a new one would have a fresh battery
