I admit it, yes. Then I tracked it back where it came from and RPG Codex was the source. There was a glimmer of hope that Fallout 3 would not be Morrowind with Guns and I should have realized that hope is a fallacy and worthless.
This is not a joke. Simply false news done so in a malicious way and should be dealt with accordingly by civil law when a news site, may it be on the web or some other media, relates false information about a company, individual, and/or product.
Sorry, I don't find yellow journalism and hoaxes one bit funny. Never have and never will.
