#2: Secret of Mana, SNES game circa late '93.
#1: Let's start measuring.
Minutes pass.

Scalpers are illegal online individuals who can be the bane of your existence at a time of popularity surging items.
In an act of anti-consumerism, scalpers go through illegal and policy bending routes to buy products in insane amounts of bulk with digital softwares such as bots before the product is even months away from release. Then, in a fruitful attempt to gain money through unofficial means, they sell company items for twice the price and have their listings on seller-acceptable websites.
Those with a large amount of inventory through illegal measures have their items on online listing, and when consumers cannot turn to official methods of getting their product, they lie in wait, hoping that a desperate buyer would have no choice but to submit to their prices, which are normally about 2-3 times higher than company price.
While scalpers are mostly to blame for the shortage of products in the online era, retailers are also to blame. Some retail workers are scalpers or spies themselves for one. Two, online retailers do absolutely nothing in their power to defend against bots. Some, like Best Buy, have taken some security measures to allow 5 minute windows when something is in stock, as well as 1 per buyer, but it's still not enough to counter scalpers. Websites like the famous Amazon and eBay allow for scalpers to show off their ridiculous listings.

Get the scallabummknee mug.(A.K.A. Code of Awesome, Code of Bro (not to be confused with Bro Code), Scale of Bro)
The point system used by Bros to define the awesomeness of a Second Bro to a Third Bro who has inquired as to the awesomeness of said Second Bro.
The point system used by Bros to define the awesomeness of a Second Bro to a Third Bro who has inquired as to the awesomeness of said Second Bro.
The Scale of Awesome:
1. "Aight"-said Bro can pass for Bro status, however only when half drunk and/or has just saved another Bro from a Breach of the Bro Code.
2. "Kinda Cool"-Bro is fun to hang out with on some level every other day, and can be considered a wingman on rare occasion.
3. "Cool"-Bro has passed required 3 assists in a fellow Bro's score of the night and can be hung out with for up to 3 days at once.
4. "Pretty Awesome"-Bro has saved a fellow Bro from disaster in the scoring area at least 5 times (although hopefully not the same Bro all five times, as this would result in a loss of that Bro's Bro Card for 48 hours after the saved 5th score); brings beer to parties without being forced.
5. "Really Cool"-Bro will give up a night of football on up to a 50 inch tv to assist another Bro in scoring if said score is a 7 or higher out of 10; can be hung out with for up to 5 days at a time.
6. "Awesome"-Bro will assist in a fellow Bro's score regardless of the rating of said score or what is on TV, (EXCEPTION: Super Bowl on 60 inch or larger television); has some musical talent on a relatively cool instrument (for example, electric or acoustic guitar, bass guitar, drums).
7. "THE MAN"-Bro has never violated the Bro Code; will not hesitate to assist a fellow Bro in scoring no matter what said Bro ranks on this scale; can entertain a large bar full of unruly drunks with musical ability; can be hung out with for months at a time.
