It's also worth noting that he actually did work for Lucasfilm for years though he's retired now.

I knew of a boomer who did that. He built a big-ass garage in an area known for vacation properties/rich people with second houses which the land alone would have been like 150K a decade ago. I mean it makes sense, might as well cruise around a tourist spot in your retro cars when you actually decide to visit.

I don't think I've ever seen that from LMG or any other "technology" channel.

I cannot fucking stand retroomers. I just wanted to buy some damn games for cheap, play them, and not have take out another mortgage to be able to afford it, so I feel you there.
An NES is not worth $200. A Banjo Kazooie N64 cartridge is not worth $100. They are both more common than dirt, massively successful, sold a metric tonne of copies, and can be had for free with emulators and downloaded ROMs. Shut the fuck up you stupid idiot asshole, stop trying to sell it for 2000% of its worth, and stop buying it just because muh Nintendo muh recognisable brand muh favourite manchild YouTuber talked about it.

The whole thing is kinda autistic anyways.
Like I get it. You’re in your 30ies/40ies and maybe life is great and you just want to capture those feels you had as a kid. Maybe your life is shit and you’re trying to fill the void inside.
But ffs, SNES/whatever games? You can download those and run them on emulator, and unless you’re a hardcore autist or want to play some obscure Bulgarian game that relied on a particular registry hack in the OG SNES processors, you’ll be fucking fine.
Just seems like a huge waste of money to spend 200$ on a game and get little of tangible value because you can download it for free.
Like, even if you have that autist scratch to collect shit, there are things to collect with you know: Tangible value.
You sure about that bubble popping bro?
There are only more 80ies/90ies kids starting to earn fat salaries and with a big emotional void to fill.
Wouldn’t be surprised if prices keep growing.

Thread tax:
Factors at play:
Several reasons; first among them being that what you're hearing isn't really a "white American women" accent. It's fake, but very appealing to their target audience.
Factors at play:
- They are marketing to fat adult-toddlers and old people with hearing aids, so they have to speak slowly and exaggerate certain words.
- Off of the above, their manner of speaking is also very common in Evangelical churches, so it's familiar to a lot of the audience. Someone else will have to elaborate on that phenomenon, though, since I don't know the origins of that one.
- The Home Shopping Network is based out of Florida, but they're trying to emulate the "normal TV accent" which is itself a Californian thing. There's a lot of accent leveling in America, so it does sound like everyone has the same one, but once in a while you'll run into differences that throw you for a loop when you're listening. People who have those accents have to consciously overcome them when speaking for TV/radio/etc.

I blame Youtubers and the like for why old games are very expensive now. I feel like if we ignored these collectors with Youtube channels, the prices would remain largely the same.I cannot fucking stand retroomers. I just wanted to buy some damn games for cheap, play them, and not have take out another mortgage to be able to afford it, so I feel you there.

Well what do you know!
One man’s audio aggravation, is another man’s surprise fap of the day!
The only thing that pissed me off to an irrational degree was the electric whisker thingie.
YOU LAZY FAT NIGGERS!
An ELECTRIC whisker? All you need to do is move your wrist around in a circular motion! If you can fap, I’m pretty sure you can handle this task by hand.

I'm looking at this article below:
Direct Link/Archive Link
So, this is what you get besides a pathetic drink:
- A Star Wars backpack
- A Star Wars water bottle
- A Hyperspace-themed room decoration
- A bottle of personalized sparkling wine from Skywalker Vineyards
- A voucher to go to Skywalker Ranch
I rather just apply to Lucasfilms and visit Skywalker Ranch as an employee than just waste $5k (and some additional money for the cruise). At least I'm making money, and I have a chance to visit there on the company's dime.

What the hell is Skywalker ranch anyway? Wasn’t the moisture farm on Tattoine called the Lars Homestead (as in Owen and Beru Lars)

It's George Lucas's movie ranch. I don't see the point of going there since it's very close to shit capital San Francisco, and it's just a ranch. I don't see anything noteworthy there except it's Star Wars based.

kyber crystals are named after the khyber pass iirc, kinda like how jabba the hutt is allegedly based on some arabic phrase that includes hut (whale), implying fatness. george lucas is a total autist about these things so i believe it.

>Drinks
Cheap, dyed liquor called Luke tears or hard blue milk x5; $10
>A Star Wars backpack
All Disney merch is manufactured as cheap as possible to maximize profits unless its with a brand collaboration; probably worth $15
>A Star Wars water bottle
Again, cheap plastic bottle just printed with Reys face or something dumb on it; $3
>A Hyperspace-themed room decoration
Plastic molded garbage unless its like an artists painting which is probably isn't; $30
>A bottle of personalized sparkling wine from Skywalker Vineyards
Skywalker Vineyards' list price is $120 for sparkling fuckin wine, not even Champagne; $120
(For reference a good bottle of Champagne is only $50-$60)
>A voucher to go to Skywalker Ranch
Napa Valley wine tastings range from $75-$300 depending on the winery and tour plan. Ill be generous and say Skywalker Ranch is worth $200 even though most sommeliers would never recommend it.
All in all its only roughly $378 worth of merch for the price of that stupid $5000 'drink.'
I can think of a million better ways to spend $5000 than on this. You would have the be the ultimate Star Wars consoomer or a Saudi who spends money on dumb shit to buy this.

It also doesn't include airfare or accommodations, you have to find that on your own. Since it's only one voucher, if you want to bring a friend that could easily end up being a $15,000+ trip.
Though I suppose if you're the retarded kind of wealthy and jerk it to Vader it's probably not a problem.

Untrue I've seen them flocking in mated pairs on the youtube around Disney. Though I suppose it could be some sort of hostage situation.

It's not, the drink is (supposedly) mixed from really expensive liquors which run $1-3K a bottle and you get three shots of other very expensive liquors. It's rather overpriced since by the looks of the shots you'd probably get all three of those for no more than $1K combined and I doubt the cocktail would be much more expensive despite the cost of the drinks. Or you could make the damn thing yourself at home and for $5K worth of liquor you'd be able to make enough for an entire party. I'll be generous to Disney and say they're selling you this at a 200% markup from what a normal fancy bar would sell it to you for which by Disney standards is actually pretty fair.
You also get to keep the container the drink is served in which looks like a movie prop (and by Disney Star Wars standards is designed pretty well) but is probably cheap and will fall apart if you try and use it to serve drinks at home with.
The only things that sound anywhere near worth the price are the drink itself, the container it comes in (I mean it's a movie prop-looking thing), and the Skywalker Ranch wine/trip. It's downright insulting they throw in a fucking water bottle and a backpack, unless they also look like movie props AND are ultra-durable made from high-quality materials.
It's just like the stupid Star Wars hotel, why would you spend 5K on a Star Wars drink unless it's being served to you personally by George Lucas, Harrison Ford, or a harem of Twi-lek slave girls--oh wait those aren't canon anymore.
