 Posted: Fri Feb 16, 2007 10:45 pm Post subject: Sardius's Cake (was: Biased nazi proto feature at 1UP.com) |
 |
|
This feature was up for less than 24 hours before it disappeared from 1UP's main page and search engine forever, which should tell you something about the author's careless lack of research. He calls Madden 96 unfinished, and he even dares to mention Sonic X-treme in some kind of context.
This is worse than the time they (very incorrectly) called Zelda's Adventure the worst CD-i Zelda game, and is almost as bad as when they used a picture of NWC 90 without the owner's permission (thankfully I was able to use my status as an unrelated third party and called them and threatened to sue, so they took it down - bastards).
Anyway I've already called my lawyer about this one but if any of you guys would like to report this asshole's article to the freelance feature police that would help too.

| Maybe i'm confused here, but i thought madden 96 WAS unfinished? It runs for about 17 seconds before crashing, even EA couldn't call something like that final code. |

Sardius, you are the Johnathan Swift of the game world.
Smeg, why couldn't you anti-alias your pencil sketch too? If we can send a man to the moon... |

Looks pretty good for using your other hand. And I'm an art major posting on the Internets, so obviously it must be true. |

| Hold on now, cake is only half of the equation here. We need to know who purchased this cake, and for what reason. |

It was technically bought off of the amazon wish list that I made for akuma sephiritopherroth, but Mia D bought it so I don't think it counts.
It's nice to finally see some results. However, I am still owed at least two more cakes! |

| As nice of a gesture as it was, that doesn't count. Sorry man. |

This thread is now about my cake.
Today, 1:15 PM
Wow, what's this? Did someone send me a steak in the mail? That's pretty weird.
Wait, this box looks too small for it to be a steak.
Surprise, it's cake! It didn't look like this originally -- the battle damage is my fault.
Well isn't that sweet. Thanks Not Akuma Sephiroth!
In conclusion, we made an afternoon out of filling the sink with hot water and throwing in all of the dry ice that came with the cake. |
