Why Robin Makes Batman Better If so, does Craigslist have a j-o-b for you. Here’s the job listing:
Shawn Elliott (2K Boston) tweeted this this past week. Some wit up in Vancouver is offering Tetris lessons “at affordable rates,” one of those things the un- or underemployed will now rush out to imitate.
After a lonely Valentine’s Day, let’s head over to the infamous Craigslist Casual Encounters, see if we can find some zombies to join some hot w4mmm action. I’m clean and real, you be too.
Some guy in Wasilla is selling an Xbox 360. He’s selling it for US$250. That’s a steep price at the best of times, but when you read his pitch, it reads a little steeper.
Trying to think of a last minute Halloween outfit? Craigslist has all sorts of costumes, including these one size fits all Pacman ghost costumes, featuring Inky, Pinky, and Clyde. Pacman, Ms. Pacman, and Blinky do not exist, however. Made out of foamcore and paint, these costumes are light-weight and customisable, complete with arm holes. They’re $US30 each, which isn’t too bad. There’s just one catch. You have to live near Bushwick, NY (it’s somewhere in Brookyln, I think). Bigger pics after the jump!
From the Best of Craigslist in Raleigh, N.C., here’s an ode to true love that, to non-gamers sounds about like Survivor’s “The Search is Over.” But this should melt the heart of any girl who has taken controller in hand and crusaded against unrelenting hordes of enemies, wondering if there ever was a boy out there who considered her just as worthy of the fight. “Oh GameStop Girl, how you make my heart meter skip a beat. If you were being held captive in a mountain fortress by a ruthless mutant mafia gangboss and I had to fight my way through 16 levels of fire-breathing undead ninjas with swords the size of small ponies, I would find a way, even if, after every level, a small man continued to taunt me by saying that you were in another castle. EVEN IF.”
I’m looking for an apartment. Haven’t had to do this in about three years. So yesterday, I’m on Craigslist and I find the Cognitive Dissonance Bargain of a lifetime: Two bedrooms, 1300 sq feet, air conditioning, parking, cat-friendly, in San Francisco’s white-approved Noe Valley, for $US 1300.
“That’s a Nigerian 419 scam,” my friend at work said. “They put these dream homes up and try to sucker you into placing a holding fee or deposit.”
I was crushed. I could take the relentless fakery and heartbreak of trolling for online sex in the spam-soaked CL casual encounters. But housing? Was nothing sacred? And now there is this:
Yesterday we wrote about the haunted Ms. Pac-Man that a Bostonian was giving away because it made his little girl cry and his wife run screaming from the house.
We, and many of you, made jokes and laughed, saying how much we wish we could have gotten a free “haunted” Ms. Pac-Man cabinet. Well, apparently, the person who did land it isn’t so happy today. Was it a scam? No, says the new owner, but it was freakin’ haunted!!!
Everyone knows that Ms. Pac Man is filled with ghosts, four of them to be specific. But a fifth ghost?
That’s what a Boston-area Craigslister claimed when he was contacted to ask why he was giving away a Ms. Pac Man cabinet for free.
Someone on ArcadeControls.com contacted the cabinet owner for the explanation, which involves poltergeist, a crying 3-year-old and a “dark figure”.
