Hero to Goat - in just 3 hours
Hehe - rule number one about trolling: know your audience. thunderhawk555 (who's been around our forum for quite a while, but just today earned his Trolling stripes), posted a note purporting to contain information from the upcoming EGM issue (due out to subscribers soon, and on store shelves by the 14th or so). In it, he discusses a gametype that many people have proposed over the years - and describes how Frankie tells the EGM guys all about it. Folks were drooling... until Frankie himself stepped in and stomped - HARD - on both the rumor, and the fact that it was included in EGM. Hehe - and now it looks like thunderhawk555 was simply parroting information he found on the XBLGamers forum (a host for multiple false rumors) - and passing it off as his own! Moral of the story: if you're going to make stuff up, make sure you're doing it in a place where folks can't fact-check you. (Louis Wu 17:56:28 UTC)
