Major sure knows how to pull off a hard hat.

Awesome picture

 

[NeoGarrison]

Woah, I would of never imagined anyone to find this. This is awesome.

The real question is how many Atari carts are buried (are they really millions?) and what % are E.T.

I don't think it's a surprise they found some E.T. cartridges. There was enough reliable reporting that Atari dumped something there.

*turns chair backwards*

Okay team, we all appreciate a good "zinger" here at the Neo Gaming Age Forums, but after three posting attempts to derail a thread about a historical documentary with, "ha, and then they should throw the Xbox Ones in the landfill, because Microsoft can't sell them and a landfill is where you put the garbage (xbox ones)" we kind of get it.

Its all a cover up so they can dump unsold/traded in 360 keep kinects in the landfill and not tell anyone.

Maybe they will find some of those 900k xb1 there also

Great timing you two. No wonder /r/xboxone hates this place.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Now Microsoft will use it as a dump site for Kinect Sports Rivals.

 

[Rizzi]

So.. I mean now they've just got a hell of a lot of copies of ET.
That is more copies of ET in the world. Those monsters.

 

[Majukun]

If that is true,shouldn't they find more?like hundred of thousands more?

 

[SargerusBR]

HISTORY IS BEING MADE

 

[Mizzou Gaming]

The original cartridges were from a factory in El Paso, TX driven to the desert and unburied. In 2009 I drove from El Paso to Sierra Vista, AZ. New Mexico would be the perfect drive to "middle of no where". Some seem to be confusing the actually factory location with the ultimate dump destination.

 

[Backfoggen]

If that is true,shouldn't they find more?like hundred of thousands more?

One of the tweets says there's supposed to be tons more

 

[neptunes]

How much of these did they make?

 

[7DollarHagane]

Great timing guys. No wonder /r/xboxone hates this place.

Sorry. The dumb joke has been removed.

I'm laughing way too much at this picture

 

[Teletraan1]

Probably making space for Alien Colonial Marines.

Might want to edit that but I don't think anyone is overly sensitive about that game so you might be cool.

If I'm not mistaken, Atari never even denied that and said they used that spot for defect cartridges or something. They did deny dumping truckloads full of ET carts there though.

 

[Diablohead]

Until I see a picture of hundreds of carts this can be anything.

 

[gcubed]

Great timing guys. No wonder /r/xboxone hates this place.

Your whining is more annoying then having to read the posts


So how many did they find? It's not really that amazing unless they find truckloads

 

[Regulus Tera]

I'm surprised at how many people thought the ET landfill story was fake.

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

The Xbox trolling in this thread is unreal.

 

[SeventhSon]

This is cool, but I'll really believe when thousands of ET carts are found in the landfill.

 

[santi_yo]

Major sure knows how to pull off a hard hat.

That's some Team Fortress shit over there.

 

[alfredofroylan]

How much of these did they make?

4 millions, they only sold 1.5

 

[7DollarHagane]

I always believed the story but I thought that they we're crushed or destroyed before being buried, not buried whole.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Great timing guys. No wonder /r/xboxone hates this place.

What I'm wondering is why you quoted EmCeeGramr, when he was telling people to STOP with the XBox trolling.

EDIT: Never mind, I see now.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Oh wow!
Looking forward to the documentary now.

 

[Fracas]

Haha that's awesome!

 

[TrueGrime]

Any info on when the documentary will be released?

 

[ironcreed]

Until I see a picture of hundreds of carts this can be anything.

Yes, I want to see Larry buried in carts, with only his head sticking out.

 

[MoeB]

Making room for Day One editions.

 

[Mizzou Gaming]

Is anyone arguing that there aren't millions of used 360 kinects at gamestops and used shops around the world?

If it's so well known then why must it be brought up here that has zero to do with that?

 

[DrkSage]

Major sure knows how to pull off a hard hat.

Im laughing so hard cause he... he kinda looks... Fabulous.. It's like he's wearing a scarf... Lol

 

[Acorn]

Yes, yes, yes.

 

[Yawnier]

I still find this whole thing amazing...

 

[jaypah]

What I'm wondering is why you quoted EmCeeGramr, when he was telling people to STOP with the XBox trolling.

To show that he said it before they posted? I guess, I don't know. It's total anarchy. THERE ARE NO RULES!! *rips off clothes*

 

[SkylineRKR]

So.. I mean now they've just got a hell of a lot of copies of ET.
That is more copies of ET in the world. Those monsters.

They were already in the world.

Now the world can be cleansed from them.

 

[Danchi]

The Xbox trolling in this thread is unreal.

Do people think these jokes haven't been made by the sixth page? I just don't see the point.

 

[gcubed]

Yes he definitely looks like he is wearing a scarf

Put your clothes back on!

 

[Theonik]

I don't know why but he reminds me of Derekk Zooland when he's mining.

That pose he's making is called "The Titanfall" It is what made Larry Hryb a legend in the PR bot business.

 

[Mulberry]

Turns out, cake not a lie.

 

[EvB]

Awesome picture

Is major Nelson a cone head?

Also, is that a cravat he has round his neck?

 

[disco]

I recon these are ones the people who work at the dump casually found over the years.

 

[jaypah]

Put your clothes back on!

THERE'S ONE RULE!!

If I were you I'd edit my post at the speed of light... Emcee already said something about that particular joke lol

 

[gcubed]

You would think, but I'm pretty sure it's a mask from the dust

 

[StoopKid]

We need some forensics experts and some geologists, stat!

Someone light the detective-GAF signal.

lol detective gaf don't play.

 

[ChiliManiac]

What's the story behind this?

Really good write up by our local news station http://www.kob.com/article/stories/S3413459.shtml?cat=500#.U1wMZlcvlBo

 

[wintermute0]

I always heard New Mexico or Arizona.

You're right. I read it wrong.

Still faked, however.
