YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK! The contents of this page have been bought with taxpayer money! |
The PlayStation 4 is a video game console created by Sony, originally released in North America on November 15th, 2013. It is generally considered one of the frontrunners of the eighth generation of gaming, alongside the HEXbox One (with the Wii U trailing behind in sales but never falling off the market share). At least 35.9 million consoles have been sold by January 2016.
Despite his fanaticism for the system's predecessor (and his tendency to spend hundreds of dollars on games for it), for two years following its release Chris made no indication of wanting to buy the life upgrade upgrade. This was most likely due to his family's health problems (compounded by his run-in with the law) draining him of funds - as evidenced by him repeatedly begging people to give him money/buy him LEGO sets, He did show contempt for its competition - getting banned from his local Walmart for defacing an Xbox One standee - but this was the only thing he had to say about the modern "console wars" (which have been intense enough to be dramatized in South Park, among other places). He also purchased a Wii U some time later.
This would change in February 2016, around his 34th birthday.
The birthday saga
The outset
On the first of the month, Chris asked for a PS4 and PlayStation Camera on Facebook (alongside a frankly ridiculous statute of limitations - notably, he would later specify a white Destiny bundle). Whoever saw fit to waste their hard-earned money on this gift would be reimbursed with a $500 voucher for his Etsy shop - believing that his comics, medallions, and amiibo are worth any money (let alone hundreds of dollars). In fact, a $500 voucher would probably allow the donator to buy everything in the shop and still have around $50 in now-useless funds to spare. Making this even more ridiculous is that he would further clarify that buying him anything less than the Destiny bundle and camera would reduce the voucher, showing an unbelievable amount of entitlement in the process.
"Sorry for being entitled - lol jk give me free shit"
The twelfth would see Chris upload a video that opens with him apologizing for setting these demands - though he openly states he doesn't understand why anyone would be offended, further showing how talented he thinks he is. Further showing how insincere his apology was is the ending, where Chris reiterates his demands once again.
Things go sour
Predictably, February 24th came and went without anyone sending him a PS4 - instead, weens sent Chris worthless gift cards and a losing lottery ticket. A day later, he would upload another video complaining about this. In a move somehow both unexpected and unsurprisingly, Chris appeared to have been so confident that someone would send him an expensive video game console that he became somewhat depressed when they didn't.
Chris finally gets one
However, despite all his whining, it transpired on March 5th, 2016 that he had, in fact, obtained a PS4. It was commonly thought that he had finally given up and purchased it himself, until he revealed on Facebook that someone actually did take him up on the offer - a "Miss Kagney Lynn Moore from Seattle, Washington." At least this is what Chris claims happened. Closer examination of his Facebook page shows that the details of the order are linked to Fingerhut, the company he bought the PS4 from. This proves he bought the system himself. The name of the fictional donor could be derived from Kagney Lynn Karter and Kevin Moore who have appeared in porn films together.
