you know the thing that really fucking me to about this whole insider bullshit is, people on this site or reset could EASILY confirm just simple numbers for us. But then you hear the whole "wellz i dunt wabtz my sources in trouble" BITCH i aint asking you for your source or his or her name, all I want is to confirm some damn numbers. How the fuck does that jeopardize their source?

It's really simple. They don't know shit.
If they make vague and broad statements, there is a 80% chance it will come true eventually. Classic fortune telling trick.

Saying "PS5 and XboxSEX are very close in terms of power" allows them to easily weasel out of it when it turns out they're wrong, you'll see shit like "difference between 9TF and 12TF isn't that big!" or "Other hardware components are very similar, so it evens out in the end!".

They aren't getting that leeway if the specified the exact number.

 

[Ichabod]

I thought he deuced out with the others during the big split.

 

[The Pleasure]

Wasn't cboat banned for titanfall by stating it was 720p and to fuck with him they made it like 740 or 750p?

 

[Heinrich]

That is the one that really irritated me, and everyone took what he said as gospel. I got my first ban ever from anything here disputing him on some fake claim he couldn't back up.

It was taken as Gospel because it fit their narrative. He was very anti Xbox. All his rumors were to shit on Xbox, that's for sure. No wonder some people loved it here

That's not what CBOAT did.

He always left precise hints to what was going down.
Yes, he was banned for being off target (ONCE) but I put that off as this site being strict on insiders.

He did get us a lot of info ahed of time, back in the day, that you might sell off off as cheap parlor tricks now, because you KNOW how everything went. Now you do.
Without CBOAT, some of us would not have known in 2013, or whatever.

He was a big part in discovering shit that is widely known now. For us.

LOL no. Go through his history. There was A LOT of bullshit. Remember this black tusk crap that he was talking about meh.
I would take EVERYTHING he says with a HUGE grain of salt.
Everyone should do that, even if it fits your narrative.

 

[GymWolf]

 

[TeddyShardik]

I guess I forgot my /S....

Of course "insiders" are always to be treated with a grain of salt.

But when someone is verified by the staff here you usually trust them to at least sprinkle around a bit of truth.
That was the standard we usually lived by around here, before all your reddit threads and all...stupid young'uns

CBOAT was one of those trusted sources.

You can't just go "he's back!" when he was explcitly banned for breaking these standards.

 

[Proelite]

CBOAT's info is really hit or miss, depending on who's the user behind the keyboard.

 

[TeddyShardik]

CBOAT's info is really hit or miss, depending on who's the user behind the keyboard.

Well, all I can is that he WAS pretty reliable once.
HIs last outing led to his ban here, but until then he delivered solid info.

We would not be discussing the random (banned) user CBOAT in any other circumstance.

EDIT: As in, people would not know this name to this day if all he did was spread false info.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

People saying CBoat leaked negative news about the xbox one. He didn't, it's just that there were no positives to leak.

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Didnt he say the Xbox ones already weak ass APU was getting a downclock because of yield issues, then Thuway and the other mongs jumped on it saying "yes I'm hearing this too". Of course in the end the opposite happened and it was clocked higher than the original numbers.

All these 'insiders' are useless unless they post something specific which can't be achieved by simple cold reading and a keen interest in gaming. Ntkrnl is the benchmark.

Exactly last i remember CBoat left in shame after claiming a number of rock solid negative xbox information ... which all proved to be wrong.

Can someone clarify what his last "leaks" were and if they were accurate?

Last thing we need right now is another leaker spreading false information.

Fixed lol

 

[Hideous Snake]

Lort do you snort bruv? You reply outside of the quote box not inside

 

[MayauMiao]

So...is this CBOAT Neogaf version of EGM's Quartermann?

 

[Caffeine]

last minute optimizations

 

[SleepDoctor]

I used to lirk then but not as much. So im impartial to another "insider" stirring shit up.

But seeing as most "leaks" are pro ms and negative sony, its not surprising the Sony fanboys are the ones excited lol. Most have been on the brink of a meltdown already

 

[joe_zazen]

Cboat was about fun and games mixd with leaks and laughing at x1's full retard strategy. 2013 was an epic year here, so much much fun except for the xbox warriors i guess. Funny to see 7 year old animosity from corporate tools still raging. Get over it.

anyway, would be great if we got a couple more old time cboat posts to dissect.

 

[Strife In a Teacup]

Piss coming out of my
ASS

Been eating/drinking too much of this I take it?

 

[Journey]

Where ntkrnl? The real true leaker from last gen.

CBOAT lost all his clout when he started showing bias, and then got banned for posting false information.

I don't think CBOAT knows shit anymore, but I'm willing to be proven wrong.

Exactly as I recall

 

[Heinrich]

People saying CBoat leaked negative news about the xbox one. He didn't, it's just that there were no positives to leak.

What? Did you even read what he was talking about?
he said shit like the Xbox ones already weak ass APU was getting a downclock because of yield issues. Of course in the end the OPPOSITE happened and it was clocked HIGHER than the original numbers.

same with titanfall, that it will be released at 720p but in fact it was HIGHER than 720p.
Also, about the Black tusk "game", that it was in Development hell etc. Although they weren't even working on a game at all, just getting ideas etc.

so much bullshit from this guy and it was proven false. And of course it was negative Xbox crap, that couldn't be disproven before launch.
Now we are again right before launch of Xbox series X and we will see if he tries to do the same shit show. I will not believe his lies and I hope you guys will not war his shit up.

First of all stop trolling and talking nonsense. Only in the mind of a super fanatic are most leaks negative against Sony, wth have you been? Almost all leaks have been given Sony the edge minus tht github bs tht Matt since shot down so even thts not good. Some fanboys are praying its true because you know their love for the other side. You have been very transparent since the beginning but chill its not tht serious. We know who will catch an aneurism if what thy want to be true turns out not to be.

Word lol he was definitely on point about the always online messaging and Drm and weaker specs. Then.... The meltdowns ensued and you can still feel the animosity in the air about what happened back then

When he left most ppl were like "damnnn why" and it wasn't just Sony ppl.

Not trolling lol. Calling out what I've seen thus far. As ive said before, i just want something official so there can be a meltdown on one of the sides. This shit is old already, over a week of bs and derailed threads over nothing but rumors.

 

[Alebrije]

CBOAT.....

Maybe its not the original...maybe its been always a group of leakers and not just one person. Well the leaks are the interesting.. Also looks suspicious before Sony CES and after Xbone game awards reveal....

Yup he was one of the guys around here spreading fake FUD about the Xbox One (the yield issues would cause shortages and delays, etc) that were bolstered and supported by Bish in his attempt to shape the gaming forum to his personal bias.

The Titanfall stuff if I remember right was where he doubled down on and got bit. He said that the beta textures and resolution were final. Which they weren't.

To be fair, there was next to nothing positive about Xbox One at the time. It was a disaster through and through. MS is in a much better place now so any leaks will likely be positive.

Was looking through his post history last night and came across this which was very interesting in hindsight.

There's a difference between there not being anything good at the time and making up complete and total BS, posting it, and having a mod here VERIFY the bullshit and ban anyone questioning it as "astroturfers".

That astroturfer bullshit STILL infests this place long after Bish is gone.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I thought he deuced out with the others during the big split.

He was gone long before their attempted coup.

His last login prior was 2015.

Oh there was definitely some fuckery going on with Bish at the time. You were on point saying he was trying to shape this forum to his own personal bias. Both gaming and politically. Dark times for sure.

Oh great can't wait for his negative outlook and constantly shitting on Xbox. He always came off like a bitter Xbox employee to me

[fuzaco]

FYI, cboat is not real. It's a dummy account that was used by the mods to relay leaks given to them from various reputable sources, and they made it seem like they banned "him" after it got out of control. This is nothing more than a cry for attention by Evilore.
