This started when Ads was playing UEFA Euro 2008 against a certain ‘Recon_2 today. After quitting the game (you can’t have a laggy game of online football) Mr. Recon_2 sent him a message.
The message read:
Recon_2: “I Am Putting You On The Cheating Website”
To which Ad replied:
Ad: 1. Your connection was laggy and 2. I don’t play with people using assisted shooting every shot is a goal and it’s for noobs. Add me see if i care.
He got this shortly after:
Recon_2: people will not play with you ps it was a good signal cheat
I thought this was hysterical and decided i’d not had a good rant in a while (since Madden 09 Soundtrack) so I waded in on this and thought i’d act a bit crazy (to say the least).
Barmelo: What’s this cheating website you speak of? Can you add me? I too hate laggy games and noobs like yourself who use assisted shooting. Good luck on your quest to stop the ‘cheats’ and may the force be with you my young padawan.
See I told you I went a bit crazy. If someone’s gonna be a dick then it’s a right laugh if you start to confuse them with a bit of weird lingo and stuff. I got this reply back:
Recon_2: i am new to the game tell me how to take it off. ps your a nob.
A bit of a weird message there he asks for help than calls me a nob (a dick to my American readers). Regardless I carried on:
Barmelo: That was the best experience of my life. I am not a nob. Now listen you must, I will teach you the ways of the option menu. Go into my Euro 08 and then settings go to controller settings and there it is. Regards, your friendly neighborhood Barmelo.
Here’s what I got as thanks for my help:
Recon_2: tell me where you live and I will kick your teeth in
Nice. A threat so I thought i’d step it up a little more. As you can see I continued my Star Wars esque ramblings too.
Barmelo: Fighting talk young padawan you must first learn to use your powers wisely. Agression is the path to the dark side. Please he…PLEASE INSERT $10 TO CONTINUE.
The Star Wars chatter continued and got some really well articulated results:
Recon_: You f***ing freak I am at the darkside.
I wonder if the dark side is nice? Well I decided to investigate a little more? Maybe it was a Pink Floyd reference. I tried to find out.
Barmelo: In regards to your previous message I live on Tatooine come find me my name is Yhatzee Yodatov I am a funk/soul legend from Bulgaria. Is this Pink Floyd? Get out of my fridge! Signed, Monkey Tennis Champion 1993 Yhatzee Yodatov.
The Star Wars theme continued (I don’t even like it that much) and I dubbed myself Yhatzee Yodatov (I was playing Euro at the time as Bulgaria everyone is something-tov there). I did address my concerns about Pink Floyd and also decided to include my old favourite Monkey Tennis in there too. You want to see what he put next? Course ya do!
Recon_2: are you f***ed in the head if so cool.
Now that was just weird. My barrage continues:
Barmelo: Have you learnt the error of your ways young padawan?
He didn’t reply after this but I continued:
Barmelo: Cheese
Cause everyone likes cheese. I end with:
Barmelo: I have taught you all I know young padawan. Game sausage & goodbye. Yodaov out!
It might be E3 week and there might be a lot to do but damn, that was a right laugh.
“That Thing” is the podcast I announced a few weeks back. Yeah it’s still coming i’m just trying to confirm all the details with my co-host(s) and help get a plan sorted about how we’re gonna go about it.
The interview is currently on hold as I have nothing to confirm it can go ahead (but it will, maybe not the 1st one but that interview will go ahead).
I seem to have created an air of mystery and intrigue (or maybe not) about the whole thing but I’m just posting to say that yes we still want to do it and we want to get it done next week after E3 so there’ll be loads to talk about.
Thanks for your patience, I know you’re all dying to listen to this.
Whooo! E3 starts today and even though i’m not there i’ll be continually updating the blog with all the major happenings on the Sony side. I’ve just been checking out the time of Sony’s press conference and it’s on Tuesday at 11.30am PDT which by my calculation should be about 7.30pm GMT so i’ll be liveblogging the Sony press conference (which i’ll be watching via IGN).
I was hoping i’d have some other writers by now (i’ll try and rope Mysor in) that way XeNonX could have covered all of the conferences and made E3 the first time the blog would cover a majority of multi-console stuff. I guess there’s still time but I think it’ll be Sony only.
Today’s the day of the Microsoft conference. I guess I could do it but i’ll wait and see.
I’ll be putting up a full conference schedule later on today so you all know what’s happening when.
Let the games begin!
