1:06pm: What's better than having a big scoop? Making one up, of course!
I bring you wank that is not only about a video game that isn't released yet, but which runs on a CONSOLE that isn't released yet. And no, it's not about the price of the PS3.

On May 9, Square-Enix unveiled "Fabula Nova Crystallis", a Final Fantasy XIII compilation which will be released at some point in the future on the PS3. Many people were excited ... the graphics are incredible, and the main character of the core game is girl who appears to kick some major ass. Alas ... some people apparently aren't content with just being excited about it though.

Enter Moogle Kupo, an individual with a very foggy grasp on the English language coupled with delusions of grandeur. He claims to work for SUPER ULTRA TOP SECRET organization called Gamerz Envelope "wich gets and sells media (vids,pics and interveiws such as this one) to diffrent magazines and sometimes sites. such as famitsu,hyper and opsm". Ahem.

He first appears with an apparent interview with Tetsuya Nomura.

It includes informative gems like this )

People respond with some skepticism.

Next, someone begins to persistently edit the Wikipedia entry for FFXIII with absurd, sourceless information about the battle system of the game, which it claims is called "Stop Fusion". It uses the Gamerz Envelope article as its source (even though there is no mention of that term in the "interview"). Interestingly, one of Moogle Kupo's early posts includes the comment "i think that the battle system will be a new one wich i call stop-fusion". Hm.

It gets better though. Moogle Kupo next turns his sight on the newly created FF-XIII.net forums.

Here are some of his greatest hits from that forum )

Despite the fact that pretty much no one takes him seriously, Mr. Kupo continues to work hard to provide us with up-to-date information from the mysterious Gamerz Envelope organization. Aren't we lucky?

On a final note, a genuine interview with the Fabula Nova Crystallis developers was translated into English (without aid of Babelfish) and released today. Moogle Kupo had some comments:

hmm yes good interveiw.

I remember watching them interveiw Nomura and the others while i was preparing my Interveiw with him, but it seems he was much more open with me than he was with them, i wonder why that is.


I wonder why, too.
Current Mood: Snoopy-Dancing
7:13pm: Godzilla. Tokyo. BNFs. SGA. Oh My.
You have to love Stargate Atlantis fandom. It has some very vocal fans and some extremely vocal non-fans. Take for example the new LiveJournal community, SGA_Hate. (Think fanfic_hate and you know exactly how this wank is going down).

To give you some highlights:

First, we get the trashing of the authors. Name calling and the usual. My favorite bits are when people are called crazy. Godzilla and Tokyo are mentioned.

Then, Chopchica gets called a 'nut' and shows up to say she isn't. No, she's more of a cashew, really.

The BNF-bashing starts here and here.

Whining ensues about how SGA has stolen all the good fic writers. It's so sad the Baby Jesus is crying.

And finally, we get insults about the actors themselves -- and that's just on page one!

The anonymous comments just keep coming.

*Pass the popcorn*

ETA: SGA_Hate journal was suspended. Guess someone complained. *g* Scroll down in the comments here as some lovely people have screen captures of the wank. Many thanks.

ETA #2: [info]sga_hate and its sister community, [info]sv_hate both got booted on El-jay, but Supernatural_Hate is going strong -- for now. Check it out.

And since I don't know which brother is Dean and which is Sam, I will leave the Supernatural wank to someone else.

ETA #3: I am psychic, call Dionne Warwick! Supernatural Hate got suspended on LJ. However, if you are missing your daily ration of wank, check out these hate communities:

Dr. Who
House FU
House Anon
Buffy
Highlander
Battlestar Galatica
X-Files

And my new personal favorite, who says:

No I will not unfriend you. Don't bother asking. If you're too stupid to use the ban_set you're too stupid to be on LJ.
