This is Why it doesn't Suck: Twilight Saga.

Mystery Science Theater 3000

I live in a backwater country when it comes to quality offshore entertainment. Shit, son, I pissed my chance at even the tiniest glimmer of quality entertainment. Sure, I had X-men, Sonic Sat A.M., Transformers: Beast Wars, Power Rangers, Beetleborgs and many others like it. But, in the end, there’s a couple of things of entertainment that we missed. To which all I could do was shed many a manly tears. When cruising forums I sometimes get across some of these gems. However, I usually have no clue what they are talking about. Like for instance: Thundercats, G.I. Joe and many others. One of these gems I just recently discovered on the vast and immeasurable wastes of Youtube.

Mystery Science Theater 3000, or MST3K for short, is a program starring Joel (Followed by Mike), his robot friends and whoever would be feeding them bad movies to watch.
Two mad scientists named Clayton Forrester (No relation to Ridge) and Laurence Erhardt, launch their janitor named Joel in to space. This to find the ultimate bad B-movie that was so bad it would drive all who watch it bat shit insane. Trapped on the Satellite of Love, Joel creates his robot friends. There’s Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot who accompany Joel as he watches these movies. And then there’s Gypsy and Cambot, the camera of the show.
Upon receiving these B-movies, Joel is sent to the screening room with Tom and Crow. They sit down in front of the screen in cinema chairs and give their comments on these horrific movies as the movie plays. Intermissions do occur however as Joel performs some skits with his fellow cast members.

That, my friends, is Mystery Science Theater 3000 in a nutshell. I think you’ll be happy to know that Joel managed to escape the Satelite of Love. Unfortunately for Mike Nelson, another janitor of the mad scientists (no relation to Doctor Insano. I think … you never know.), the mad scientists strap him on a rocket and launch him to replace Joel on the SOL to watch more crappy movies.

So, let’s get my opinion out of the way so you can watch an episode, as provided by tirol9 on you tube.

Even though I would never, ever watch these movies, they’re still watch worthy when you stick the MST3K guts in front of it. Seriously, this is absolutely stuff. You’d never suspect that the show is so awesome from the opening alone. I never saw the funny stuff coming from the first episode that I watched on the tubes. Normally I care a lot of some idiot is talking during the movie, but these guys are absolutely forgiven they are so funny. If I had to give this show a score, it had to be:

10/10!

Now stop reading this crap and watch this episode:

Ka-CHING!

Did you hear that? I think ... yes it was! That was the sound of money.

What makes the world go around? No, silly, not the earth's core! I'm talking about currency.
It all started years ago when mankind invented trade. One would trade one item with another of equal value. Sometimes this meant that you have to give more of your item to receive the other item. Sooner or later, people gold and other materials to pay for their articles. But, seeing as these were too heavy to carry around if you have it in large numbers, banks were invented. You went to the bank and deposited your gold. In return you received notes on which were written how much that note was worth in gold. You could turn in this note at another bank and get back your currency.

THIS, is what makes the world go around. These notes became the standard currency combined with coins. For working a set time you received a certain amount of money. That money could be spent on articles, thus giving the companies money that give the money back to you so you can purchase their products.

The industry has always followed a similar line in the sense of buying and selling.
The woodchoppers chop their wood and sell it to the factory.
The factory process the wood and make a product out of it. They sell that product at: The same price + Cost + profit.
The bulk supplier bought the product and sells it again at: The same price + Cost + Profit.
The warehouse supplier bought the product and sells it to the stores at: The same price + Cost + Profit.
And this is just the simplified version. Because there's also taxes and whatnot involved. Everyone needs to make money and everything you do costs money. Thus raising the price exponentially.

In the end, the price for a simple disc with a program on it could cost 60 bucks. But it shouldn't. Wanna know why not? Okay, listen up: Stores are not allowed to sell a product at loss. Which means they can not lose money selling a product. Now, let's take the last gen games. Most of them cost 60 bucks when they were released. Yet, the stores are selling them for 5 - 15 bucks at the moment and getting away with it. Which means they aren't selling them at a loss because the only time allowed is in the sales period.

So, the price for games is just insane. What the hell is costing this much? If the stores buy the games at such a low price, then why the fuck do they cost that much? I know that the starting price is always high. Just look at the playstation 3 and the PSP GO. They had a high starting price because of all the work put in to them and the quality of the machine. But now, years later, the PS3 is still insanely expensive. Luckily there's talk of a 100 bucks pricedrop. BUT STILL.

On the flipside of the equasion you have the fact that if games didn't cost this much, the gaming industry would look a lot different. Why? Because if the prices were low then people would buy them more easily. If people would buy them more easily then the gaming industry would look a lot more like the movie industry where the good movie bad movie ration is 1 to a thousand whilst in the gaming industry, you have to work to get the money's worth. Of course, there's still developers that only make a game to make a quick buck, see movie based games or trend based games or games for girls.

Meh, this has been my two cents on the matter. Final word: Lower the prices faster and have a lower starting price of about 45 bucks.
Peace out!
