I never realized that Gaf was a troll board. All I ever see nowadays is crying and circlejerking. And trolling, can't forget trolling.

Doritos and Mountain Dew installation load screens are next.

If I win one through that contest then I'll destroy it and post a video of it.

I want to take a moment to address this.

How are you, personally, defining 'trolling.' here on gaf?

How is it separate than condemning a company for their actions, which is what major media outlets are also doing, and well, anyone with common sense is honestly. Microsoft fucked up, this is a place to discuss gaming news.

Gaming news, unfortunately, isn't coming from Microsoft at a sustainable level that overwhelms criticisims of every thing on that list wrong with the xbone reveal/console/direction.

I think people are trying to act like this doesn't happen on gaf? The Wii has been a running gag on the forum, people condemned sony for losing their fucking minds, why is it different for microsoft? When Microsoft has been 100% responsible for every single COMMENT in response to their statements of dumbshittitry?

What are people doing, or faking, to get a rise out of an audience? Because everything that people are commenting on, is in fact, a fact that Microsoft themselves has provided for us. Dorrito & Dew was a joke, it was a JOKE, about how out of touch microsoft was, and how inlove with the Bro-Dude demographic out there.

Then they do this.


Again, what are you calling trolling? As I just see multiple people complaining that people are complaining about microsoft. There is a thread for Xbone fans to ignore the rest of the world, as well, here.


Where is the line, when is it ok to say that BP messed up, or that Enron Messed up. Surely, its nothing as disastrous as either examples, but this is a disaster by video game entertainment standards. What would you expect a population, who has been told to fuck off by microsoft, do?

"buh buh wait for...." (LINE, someone?)

TL;DR

Trolling would be someone on GAF creating a mockup of this idea.

Having fun is responding to it when it's presented as an actual marketing campaign.

There's a product for people who don't like cheese: it's called Pringles.

Looking at your post history you don't seem to be something different than what you're describing here. Unless it comes to the Xbone, for which you apparently don't have anything negative to say.

 

[Vamphuntr]

This isn't really surprising. Pretty common marketing. Wasn't there some Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker Mountain Dew in Japan? You could also unlock Doritos in the JP version of the game.

Can I share my dew and doritos with a friend and continue to do so?

 

[dejay]

Updated the pope for Next-Gen:

I will kiss his ring in supplication.

Needs a transparent smiling Don Mattrick-face in the corner in the background.

 

[PaulExcellent]

I don't even know what I'm looking at here.

Still, the bags look simple and relatively nice.

Updated the pope for Next-Gen:

Add a TV or some sports and it'd be perfect.

 

[harlekin]

Too meta. Broception.

Duuuude...

When I first saw it, I thought his blog got hacked and defaced...

 

[B-Dex]

What I find hilarious is on that dew and doritos website it says MS isn't even a sponsor of the event and has no obligations. Wat?

 

[BlastProcessing]

Reality has become indistinguishable from parody.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Now I actually feel real bad for Geoff.

You know somebody sent him this picture and he just stared at it for a few seconds before saying "Shit...now it's NEVER going away, is it?"

 

[Niwa]

Are these required to start the console? Kinect will probaly scan the room for them..

 

[Terrible Majesty]

Is this real life?

first thing im gonna do tomorrow is buy a bag of doritos and a mountain dew for fathers day.

 

[Shosai]

How did Doritos become "gamer food" anyway? You have to wash you hands before touching a controller again.
