Darque Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Sheer stupidity, that is all it is. Only an idiot would post a hoax on a news site. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's just a joke. Don't throw a huge fit. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Given how many people wanted this very thing to happen, it's a VERY cruel joke.
Laozi Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Sorry, but I don't see it that way. A news site, television station, or newspaper has to maintain a certain level of professionalism 100% all the time otherwise what would be the point of reporting the news in the first place. It would be no better than those lame arse tabloids with huge headlines talking about Batboy or putting out false information on some celebrity. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But those are funny too. When I went back to college my friends gave me this tabloid that had the headline, "World's Smartest Chimp Goes to College" and I hung it on my refrigerator. I still laugh anytime I get a coke ::looks at refrigerator and giggles:: People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.
Judge Hades Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 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.
jaguars4ever Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 That's why I watch CNN. Heck, it's even endorsed by the Dark Lord of the Sith. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Can't say I've ever seen CNN cover any gaming news. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I find you lack of faith disturbing.

I just took a look (my curiosity was too great) and the closest thing I saw was an Entertainment section, with subsections of movies, music, tv, and books. No gaming section to be seen. Not that it matters much, though. "Who could blame Skynet? He's such a cute, innocent, steel-bolted robot." -Gauntlet

Judge Hades Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Hmmm... I don't watch television except for the Sci Fi channel.
jaguars4ever Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Hmmm... I don't watch television except for the Sci Fi channel. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> All you need is Sci Fi, Animal Planet, History Channel and CNN. :D

jaguars4ever Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You see that Hades - that's the sign buddy! These dames just play hard to get; but once you roll off your nihilistic charm, she'll swoon faster than Obsidian can say "Patch is Coming Soon".

Judge Hades Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 I am more likely to have my hair fall out before I have a heart attack and that isn't going to happen any time soon.
