    .....Are you kidding me...They screwed up everything in NS so badly. A fade lays down webs? And that screenshot....Was that wierd looking green arm thing the original fade claws or something? I noticed it in the models folder and it always confused me...

    Yeah this is just a warning to the dumb

    THE POINT OF TRUTH MEDIA IS TO MAKE INTENTIONALLY INCORRECT REVIEWS THAT ARE SO RETARDED AS TO ELLICIT FLAMES FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE TOO STUPID TO GET THE JOKE.

    That said this is pretty damn funny.

    Obviously that moron has never played Natural Selection because he doesnt have clue about the story, the aliens, the marines or any other part of the game. The "Khalat" as was named, were compared to the Zerg. It was humorous when he compared the Onos to the zergling. He misnamed the TSA. It seems he had no idea what TSA stood for so he just took a guess. My only guess is that he heard hearsay about the game and decided to report it, hoping to get some attention. I love reading these articles because they remind me of the college paper i have hear. These so called writers hear something and jump all over theirselves to bash whatever has come up. The only problem is they forgot to do a little thing called "RESEARCH." All we can hope is that the ignorant will dislearn how to reproduce and become extinct one day.

    Yeah, if you guys respond to that, I'm going to laugh at you.

    It's nice having some knowledge of how SA works. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Oh, and BTW: I just think it's funny he says 'blizzard, sue them' when he uses copyrighted images and names in the review, which Flayra could rigtfully sue against <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It's the old version of Hera.

    The marines used to spawn out on the landing bay.

    MMmmm.. yes, I'm with piele.

    Hilarious review, though, if I do say so myself. (truth media's always funnier when you actually like what it is they're 'reviewing')

    onos, SA did something on NS *cries*

    You ever think that SA, being based on **** ppl off just to get a reaction, is anything like those people that join servers and just start spouting racist hateful comments? To me a bears a great simaliarity, and it would seem that supporting SA will only ecourage ppl to continue this kind of behavoir

    I think the difference is that you don't have to read SA if you don't find it amusing, while the dingus on the server is forcing you to leave if you don't like it.
  • ConfuzorConfuzor Join Date: 2002-11-01 Member: 2412Awaiting Authorization
    Yes! It's getting coverage!

    Its like MAD Magazines, really. If an actor/actress hasn't been insulted by it, its probably because he/she isn't very famous.

    Natural Selection; first in PC Gamer, now in SomethingAwful... it's famous alright. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->


    we don't want it to be too popular though...

    I found said article to be intelligent, well written and educational. Ah, it was like a creamy Yoplait™ yogurt, the fluffy strawberry kind.

    Hooray for Lowtax, by the way.

    <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin--> If you have stumbled upon this page, the index that contains all the TruthMedia reviews, chances are you have at least some iota of intelligence. This is a good thing because each and every single "TruthMedia" review in this section is complete and total **** created solely to generate flame mail from Internet citizens who, for some pathetic reason, have attached their egos to a movie, band, or game company. The sheer intensity that some people exhibit while defending whatever silly movie or band just boggles our minds, so this section of the site was created to prey upon these people's idiocy and use it for our own personal amusement. Flame mail from every article will be posted randomly throughout the week, and the more flame mail, the better the ranking the author receives.

    Most of the authors have not even seen the movies, heard the music CDs, or used the software reviewed; we simply leaf through various online reviews and summarize them while creating grevious typos, factual errors, and outright fallacies in an attempt to shatter the fragile little worlds of people who associate their entire personality and sense of being with a random form of capitalistic media. We plan on continuing to do this until America realizes that we're not defined by the music, movies, and products we buy... so basically, this section will go on for infinity or possibly longer.

    Please help us increase the amount of stupid, incoherent, rambling flame mail by forwarding direct links to the reviews to all your zealot, media-obsessed friends so they will write us and result in unintentionally entertaining every rational, sane person who reads this site. Under NO circumstances should you spam, flood, or harass people, newsgroups, or websites with these links.

    Oh, and while reading the flame messages sent to our "reviewers," make sure to keep in mind that by a single click of the mouse any one of these moron readers could've reached this page and read this text explaining that the entire review section is a joke and 100% ****. You know, if your outlook on all humanity wasn't depressing enough as is. The Internet makes you stupid.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    Ok, we all know this was a joke to get flames, and some of you managed to laugh at it, but this was crap either way. In fact, I would have more respect for the guy if it was a real review. How you guys thought that was funny, I don't know. I could write one off the top of my head many times more hilarious.

    What a waste of bandwidth and time.
    I would hope at least the flame mail is funny.

    haha.. this must be a joke.. i mean, except that there are aliens vs marines there is no correct information.
  • InexorableInexorable Join Date: 2002-09-28 Member: 1360Members
    You miss the point. The funny part isn't till a week later when they put all the raging flame mail that the article created up on display.
  • mojojojomojojojo Join Date: 2002-11-01 Member: 2017Members
    This sounds like a chance to strike back... why don't we all send loads of emails praising the review. Interesting to see how Lowtax responds...
    I'm going to hold off on this idea until someone else comes up with a better idea...

    H00ray for SA, now lets see if we can get a forum thread nominated for ALOD.

    Did the **** who wrote the article actually play NS or some weird fvcked up clone of NS?

    He says it doesnt have the replay value of DoD? I feel the opposite is true!

    1) Lowtax didnt write the article, he doesnt write truthmedia.

    2) I am personally going to point the writer of that "review" to this thread so he can get some of the "comments" from people who do not have a clue that the review was a joke.

    3) Lowtax is god. SA is not.
