Moronic Submission Roundup

Well, it's my birthday, so I decided to do ourselves and you a favour by posting some pointers on what NOT to send through our Submit News system.

A Greek guy speculates on the happenings with the Fallout license:<blockquote>I've heard that the company of "Neverwinter night" (bioware) has the rights for the fallout 4. </blockquote>...even though a tiny bit of research would easily confirm that Bethesda Softworks has options to develop both Fallout 4 and 5. If you're going to send us something, make sure it's not utter bovine dung.

Speaking of cows, here's a nice one:<blockquote>Also in one of the special encoutars (sic!) in Fallout 1, you find some brahmin saying "moo I say." This is a reference to the secret cow level in Diablo 2. After you finish the a difficulty of the game, you can to the secret cow level. </blockquote>Yes, and Frank Horrigan is based off Uberdiablo, even though Diablo 2 was released some three years after Fallout 2. Get your facts and chronology straight.

The same goes for: <blockquote>One of te random combat taunts that appears over peoples' heads is "I'm gonna smack you like a red-headed stepchild". This is a reference to Asuka in the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion, and is a line from the fanmade parody Evangelion ReDeath.</blockquote>Wow, now I'm a total layman when it comes to anime, but Google tells me this fan-made movie is from 2000 AD - two years after Fallout 2.

This one makes me shed a tear:<blockquote>Is Fallout 3 ever going to be made cause I find it hard to understand all the information about it.</blockquote>We can post them for you. We can't understand them for you.

Some are even more desperate:<blockquote>Were can i buy it, i have looded every were. In shopes, on ebay and every dam web site on earth! Fallout 1 and 2 are the best and all i want to do is play fallout tacticts! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!</blockquote>I guess the Holy Flame hates you. I know I do, for not taking the effort to find a Stickied Thread in the forum, made specifically for the purpose of aiding you.

And some very to the point:<blockquote>Random Encounters you forget the "Error"...</blockquote>You forget the "brain"...

One of the readers came into caustic contact with a masculine piece of silica:<blockquote>ok this actually hapend to me when i was playing one time in golgotha in fallout 2 one of the rocks turnd alive and came at me he was super strong and killd me it only happend once though and i couldnt figure out how to get it again</blockquote> We're not really interested in your Jet trips, man.

If you spotted something unusual:<blockquote>I dont know if this was from Bethesda or some time inbetween that version and Van Buren, or it it's even Fallout 3 at all, but I found this recently and was wondering if you could help identify it. </blockquote>Yes, I can identify it. It's the same fake screen we've seen over and over again for the last five years because nobody bothers to search the site before reposting it.

And for Myron's love, if you get one of those from Bethesda: <blockquote>We are in the preliminary stages of development on Fallout 3. It will be a LONG time before we start talking specifically about our plans and what we're up to. We'll let folks know when we have some information to share on the game and its development.
Thanks for your interest in Fallout 3.</blockquote> - know it's their standard response for the time being and WE DON'T REALLY WANT TO be notified, thankyouverymuchforthat.

Oh, and a thank you goes to all readers who sent in actual valuable stuff in these few past years. We love you guys!

Maybe I can track him down and smite him in person :o

Actually, this newsbit (that Fallout 4 is under development by Bioware) was printed in a Greek games magazine which I buy. I e-mailed the author to bring this error to his attention, and eventually I found out that he was misled by an April Fools' post that was made last year in Obsidian's Fora regarding Fallout 4 being made. :D

Hilarious!

That reminds me of the vatted thread "Dogmeat is a Hubologist".

I wish people would take screenshots of such strange errors in-game.

David Bowman, upon leaving the rest of the human race:
"My God...it's full of 'tards!"

Of course the children on that forum are a bit slow, often only capable of maintaining a semi-coherent thought for one line, maybe two, and yet still nowhere near the mental ability we could expect from finer sites like...say...Crackhead to Three forums. The only ones capable of forming anything past a sentence or two seem to STILL be sorely limited in reading comprehension. Which makes it even more funny when you realize that those who DO write a bit more than a single line are those who apparently run the site, and are totally clueless themselves.

But what else can you expect of Bethesda's target audience? The children on that forum are pure Lowest Common Denominator. dhex, with their amazing ignorance involving trademarks (including why Interplay had to use Fallout instead of making a Wasteland sequel), demonstrates the general level of argumentative ignorance of those children. I say children, because it's obvious they have no clue about the history behind Fallout or Wasteland, the reality of game development and standing up for what you believe in or you end up with garbage designed to pander to Gamer's Quarter's preferred brand of idiocy, and decide to make these idiotic console whore remarks. Hell, they obviously don't know shit about Bethesda to be making half of these assumptive remarks. Or even anything about game development and intellectual property. And then think they are the first persons with the "insight" to make these comments about us, when we've heard this and even more unbelievable apologist idiocy since Fallout Tactics.

What is also funny is that these children don't know about the decay of TES, including the Father and others leaving, only that it's shiny for their own personal vapid amusement. Wait...these morons seem to love the series AFTER the Father of TES left and the rest held it down to be gangraped by the X-Box morons. These asshats only care about what makes their personal marbles feel good (durrrrr, SHINEY!!!!!), and don't to have a series match expected quality and characteristics from previous titles in said series.

And yet, these apologists think that because we're gruff, we shouldn't be talking. Riiiight. I'd rather be an asshole than a clueless moron, when these idiots can't understand that we undoubtedly know more about the development as fans and news posters (and not to mention, a few developers as well), than what they as random console forum trash can pull out of their ass.

You may be an asshole, Rosh, but I love you for it- and so do most of the others here. The ones who don't are, as you say, too stupid to see intelligence and/or knowledge when you rub their collective faces in it. Or, as I like to phrase it, "You can lead a whore to culture, but you can't make her think." It's almost funny how some people are so color-blind that they will try to tell you the sky is green, the grass is blue, and Bethesda is the god of gaming companies, when the truth is so self-evident. Apparently, it's easy for some people to be blinded by the flash many new games rely on, and they overlook the reason that classic games become classic: the fun and (re)playability. Who, ten years from now, will be playing TES: Morrowind? No one. Who will be playing Oblivion? No one. Why? Because they were based on 'shiny' sales, and in ten years the shine will be very dull indeed. But in ten years, we will still be playing Fallout (in XP compatability mode, no doubt) because it is a G*R*E*A*T G*A*M*E.

And I think we we all devoutly hope and pray Bethesda goes belly-up and sells those rights off to someone with the foresight, skill, and common sense that they lack. Before they rape FO3, if at all possible, so that someone else gets that, too. I'd rather wait another five years for the next game than have them sling us a steaming plate of boiled shit with the Fallout name on it.
 
I think this post sums up the majority of the posters on that forum:

I've never really liked Western RPGs, because they involve too much brainwork. I literally couldn't force myself to play Fallout until I got a patch that would make me invincible, because I was too nervous about the prospect of investing a helluva of a lot of time in it and then screwing up irrevocably somehow. This is also why I've never played Fallout 2 and feel very bad about losing my copy, because you talking about it is making me pretty interested in playing it again.

You know what's truly funny?

Only the mainstream Japanese console trash RPGs are translated to take advantage of the sheep on both sides of the Pac Pond. The ones with complexity, depth, and writing are about as rare as can be found in the US, but aren't translated. And translating the nuances of keigo to American is usually a nightmare; Japanese -> American speech trees about complex topics are nearly impossible, which is often seen in the questionable reading of bishojo and ren'ai titles ported over, which are inherently nothing but speech trees, but the ones translated are often the simplest to translate.

Many game developers there fondly remember Wizardry and what it gave to their genre, but to do that kind of work and THEN try to port it over...hell, it was difficult enough working with PonyCanyon for the Bastard Ultimas, including the console version of Savage Empire that is far more commonly found in Japanese than English due to publication reasons (EA, mostly).

So, yeah, in their ignorance, these idiots mistakenly think that the trash shoveled out from Japan for the Lowest Common Denominator is indicative of the whole JRPG flavah. They have different conventions and preferances than the Western folks, but what has been translated to the US has mostly a mass-market cattle appeal to afford a team to translate...a simple, linear story without any character depth or interaction worth comparing, to shovel out to the mass-market cattle that speak a different language.
 
Are these fuckwits serious?!

Sarcasm is usually obvious, like that of St. Toxic.

With those idiots, you can't tell if they're being serious or sarcastic, given the focus and quality of their uh...I'll just be nice and call it a console e-rag. They might just be *that* special.
 
Time for more moron fun!

A moron complaining about how we treat his fellow mental midgits said:
time to take a bit of your own medicine. i was appalled recently at the way you spoke to the fallout community about what they email you about regarding fallout 3. you should realize there is a lot of excitement about this title and not use your forum to make fun of those who are just interested and excited in this upcoming title.

now, in your lastest post on october 7 -- you state there will be an announcement coming up on november 1 about fallout 3. how about including the fact that the blog you got this from was listed under the topic "CONSOLE GAMES". bethesda has stated that fallout 3 will be a pc game, so the november 1 announcement will not be fallout 3.

how about reading info before posting stuff and getting people excited?? here is the complete listing:
(Snip repost of kathode's remarks.)

How about reading the fucking site, or even the news (of which consoles have been mentioned a lot - it's where we amazingly picked the quotes to use for the page) before making yourself into the biggest moron YET with such a stupid or ignorant lie? Yes, the person who sent that in is the winner of the morons. Please report to your local landfill and wait in the compactor for your prize.

If, after reading that link, you don't feel scared about the future of Fallout 3, then you're either a vegetable or a whore. Take your pick. My guess is a whore, washdc.dsl-w.verizon.net ;)
