Oh Oliver... The entire GiantBomb community is ashamed of you.
 
Someone find him, shave his head, and send him to Boot Camp.

" Why is everyone so pissed about Oliver.   Did he sell his beta key?   If that's the case why the fuck do you care?   I'm not a starcraft fan at all and I'd have done the same.   That way someone who likes starcraft could enjoy it and I'd get to buy something that I liked.   You people are fucking retarded. "

well if you don't see whats wrong with what he did, your seriously lacking in morals or a sense of right and wrong "

So all the people who camp for consoles and sell them for profit are evil. If you were to win say a washing machine at a raffle or a contest and sold it you are a douchebag? If you go into the prize is right and later on sell the car you are a dick? IT IS YOUR FUCKING THING. YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH IT. Maybe he doesn't have a good gaming computer, I don't have one if I got a stracraft beta key I would give to a friend who could run it or sell it. Sidenote: what he did was wrong in the sense that Beta keys are not products which I believe can be legally sold (I think it says it somewhere in the fine print). But since no one here is arguing that, rather the whole "its an immoral thing" I am complaining against that because you are allowed to sell shit that people give you cause it is your own shit. "

Oliver spilled and Half-beard false-started.  Spencer came in 3rd, but by the rules he should have won.

that's not even close to the same thing  your paying for the console to began with "

Eww, disgusting.

I can't believe Oliver, after all that...

Jesus Christ, that really is a half-beard.

" @chililili:  it is immoral because he entered the contest to get a prize that he damn well knew he didnt want. Espically since its something that rare..and why sell it? why not just GIVE it to someone, like one of his friends. "

Felt kinda bad at what Oliver did. People went out of their way to give him that awesome prize and he turns around and tries to sell it? That just makes the Giant Bomb crew and community look bad... and since we are  the greatest community of all time, and most of us (I feel) wouldn't do that shit, it hurts to see our name tarnished.

Someone in the crowd was wearing a Liverpool shirt with Gerrard on it.

why does that kid olivers hairdo look like he got a swirly 
 
 
and seriously i dont understand why everyone is bitching about oliver. what happened?

yep that oliver guy looks like the type of prick to do some shit like that  
 
 
go to hell oliver

I don't care if Oliver did it or not. We live in a Free Enterprise society, and its his right to do with whatever he was awarded. End of discussion.

oliver you bitch...

Wow good job for Oliver now wherever he rears his head, he may then be recognized as the dumbfuck who screwed himself over. Kudos to you.

OLIVER GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE SITE WHOEVER YOU ARE...

Long live Half Beard 

Half-beard is the stuff of legend.
 
Oliver is a little bitch.

Fuck you, Oliver.

" @Besetment:  watch this video again, all i am saying is that after they picked the people,  bob said he was giving a key, the honorable thing for Oliver to do would've to go.."oh well..i cant use that", or "i dont want that" and opt out "

Bob was so nice to Oliver and he does that kind of shit? Fuck that guy...

wow when did he say he didn't want the key?

This just in Oliver is a douche waffle more details at 11.

that's not even close to the same thing  your paying for the console to began with

Oliver, that jackass.  We know how you operate, kid!
 
Also, Half Beard... that needs to be your username, from now on.

NOOOO, The meatbowl has swine flu!

I don't like Starcraft all that much but if I were offered a beta key to Starcraft 2, I'd be honored and gladly accept that prize. Man Oliver, what the hell.

Fuck Oliver.
 
I'm a pure capitalist, but I have a heart.
 
I would never sell a gift from a friend right in front of that friend.

Nice contest. I wonder if those where Blizz shirts or Giant Bomb shirts.

It's a really Douchy thing to do, but what really pisses me off is that he sold it at the fucking BLIZZARD BOOTH! I mean Jesus Christ, he's like that crook who gave his address to the Cop than ran and hid in the house (which turned out to be his mother's). It would be funny if it weren't so..... you know what  FUCK HIM

Fuck you Oliver. Fuck you.

ughh sales people

Shame he got got busted trying to sell the beta key.    ಠ_ಠ  Idiot. . . 

Yeah, I'm just gonna say, it's good to see these guys back together. This is the dream team that made Gamespot, On the Spot the show I never missed. It's just too bad it had to end the way it did, with everyone leaving, then Jeff getting fired. That's when I left, when Jeff got canned, because that was just flat out wrong. So it's good to see Giant Bomb being even BETTER than that hack site could have ever been. I just wish Rich and Alex ... oh okay, and Bob ... could be there too. Also it would be nice if they had more developers stop by.

Hilarious video. Just my 2 cents on the whole Oliver deal,  like everyone else was saying, it was HIS key. He could do whatever the hell he wanted with it. I admit i would have done the same thing in his shoes. Even though i love Starcraft and i would love to get into the beta, i would have sold it or given it to a friend because my computer is shitty and im broke as hell. It is however really fucked up that he went to sell it at the same damn place later that day.  I dunno thats just what i think.

my god look at that half beard
