Video game characters' classified adverts

Features
By Justin Towell published 26 November 2014

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

What're ya buyin'? Or selling...

What're ya buyin'? Or selling...

"Welcome, stranger! Got a good selection of classifieds for you, stranger. Bold print, with a picture, without a picture... anything you want to buy or sell, we can help you find it. Er... stranger." Or so the merchant from Resi might address you if you went to him to place a 'small ad' or 'classified' in the local paper.

But what might a video game character want to sell in the classifieds section? Well, as luck would have it, I found a copy of the 'Invincibility Star' (that's a disappointingly basic joke name for a video game newspaper, sorry) and found a load of them. I know, right? What a co-incidence that someone with a copy of Photoshop and too much time on their hands would come across such a thing.

Arno wants to buy... a face

Arno wants to buy... a face

FACE WANTED: I'm having trouble with girls and I think it's my face that's putting them off. It's fine until I go to kiss them and then it disappears. So if you have a spare face (rogueish, charming, handsome devil sort of thing) then please get in touch. I'll pay handsomely, just name your price and give me a few days to get the funds together. Also if you need anyone 'disappearing', I can help with that. Contact Arno at Arno's house.

Wun bell eech?

That's the only snippet I could find. That's the problem with paper that comes from video games. Dissolves into its component pixels as soon as you take it out of the TV. Tsk. But yes, what else might a game character sell? Got anything for Trevor in GTA5? Let us know in the comments.
