WoW Moviewatch: Pwn Stars

This is the simple tale of a pawn shop (er, pwn shop) where a group of goblins take in used goods and then sell them for profit. It's not a complicated gig, but we manage to see some happy customers, some unhappy customers, and one guy who struggles with the reality of his prize.
Pwn Stars was a lot of fun. It's always nice to see how Wowcrendor will branch out, and I feel like this was a good addition to his toolbox.

Very amusing. But he missed a couple of amusing tropes (probably for the sake of time). Really felt incomplete without somebody being offered an insulting amount for a valuable item. "Hey, I have to resell it and I need to make a profit, too!"

I was totally expecting them to try to haggle that raptor guy down to like 1,000g or something.

Honestly, Leeroy's Doomsaw needs to be an item.

... and the use ability would be a Charge.

Pawn Stars is one of the few shows I watch on TV, and I got a kick out of this.
I think If I were to make any suggestions, I would suggest all the gratuitous bleeps in the dialogue.

Whee, my favorite game and one of my favorite shows combined by one of my favorite machinimators! I feel like I won the lottery!
I giggled when they brought in an expert, because that happens in every single episode. I can practically say it along with Rick..."I know a guy who..." or "I want to get a friend of mine down here to look at this..."
Dumlee was perfect. His RL counterpart would totally buy a rainbow generator if such a thing existed. (And I wouldn't blame him, that'd be awesome.)
I'd have added more bleeped cuss words, and somebody demanding five times what an item is worth and then acting all snooty when they get laughed out of the store. Otherwise, from the on-screen prices and history graphics, to the Old Man's accent, this is spot-on, and I giggled madly through the entire thing.
Great job as always, wowcrendor!
