La siguiente animación de nombre «Game Launch Rock!» es un video musical que cuenta la triste historia de las últimas consolas (y las próximas), sus juegos y la gente que los compra durante su lanzamiento. Ah, y no se pierdan los textos de epílogo después de los créditos:
Si sólo quieren escuchar la canción:
Back in the 90’s when you bought a new system,
It was basically ready to go!
But those days are gone by, so buddy, don’t be that guy
You wanna be the first in line, but I say no, no, no, no, no!
They won’t have near enough games, no matter how great they seem,
It takes at least a year or two before they’re runnin’ full steam,
Yes it’s a dirty little trick, so you gotta be staunch, kid:
Don’t ever buy a console at launch,
I’m bein’ serious!
Do not ever buy a console at launch!
THE KID:
But the video game companies promise all these great games and features within the first year!
SIR GAMEBOY:
Sure, just like presidential candidates. They’ll say anything to get your vote, the way game companies just want you to buy their console!
THE KID: Didn’t you want a new Wii U?
SIR GAMEBOY: More like Pee-Yew!
THE KID: PS4?
SIR GAMEBOY: Oh, give me more!
THE KID: Xbox One?!
SIR GAMEBOY: Xbox done!
THE KID: Ouya?
SIR GAMEBOY: Uhh… what?
The OS’ll be a mess, so you gotta be staunch,
Kid, don’t ever buy a console at launch, now sing it with me
BOTH: Do not ever buy a console at launch!
SIR GAMEBOY: That’s right!
And even if they release a picture perfect device,
You know that 6-to-12 months later they’ll be droppin’ the price!
Ain’t that some crap? It’s a trap, so you gotta be staunch, child,
Don’t ever buy a console at launch
(Or Apple product)
But don’t ever, never, never buy a modern gaming console at launch,
Don’t try it, don’t you buy that console at launch!
Yeah!
