In the "Show off your gf/wife/whatever" some guy posted what he thought was an obscure model. Thanks to GAF's creepy knowledge of internet women, somebody called him out on it.

OMG I just read both EGM92 threads... how can he even show his face? Why would someone go to those lengths to taint the name of a video game console manufacturer? Holy fkng shit

he's still around on gaf. probably doesn't post much anymore though.

Also, it's funny that one of the people who called him out for lying was EGM92.
 
looking back, i'm worried EGM trolled us all

i mean come on
Does it look like my console is on a carpet or a dirty floor? NO. It's actually on top of a "Mini" wine cooler we use to chill wine when we have guests, it helps cool the PSU and the X360 console while keeping my beers refreshingly good.

Oh man I wish they would post after getting owned but they always disappear
speaking of getting owned. you should change your avatar before your avatar privileges get owned by a mod.

I just remembered a really good one recently - that dude who played Professor Layton on twitter (but was not employed by Nintendo) who was outed as a gaf member that repeatedly plugged the twitter account and congratulated "Nintendo" (aka him) for putting on such a brilliant marketing campaign. After getting revealed, he goes into a meltdown, begging and pleading not to be banned. It was utterly pathetic.

Yes, the thread title is intentionally dramatic. But... it's the TRUTH. The best piece of Nintendo marketing in a while... wasn't. It was just a fan production (read from bottom to top):

I don't want this mistake to cost me my internet love.

BEG for my forgiveness? I would be willing to. :lol

I don't think people get how much I care for GAF.
Wii Will Rock U said:
I love GAF so much.
Wii Will Rock U said:
I love you all too much to not give you an answer.
Wii Will Rock U said:
I genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, apologize for the entire thing.
Wii Will Rock U said:
Really, I can't stress enough how much I care for GAF.
Wii Will Rock U said:
Seriously, what do I have to do to keep my account? I'm so upset at myself right now.
 
Has no one mentioned Serafitia?

He still posts on here as Verboten.

And his weepy, incoherent apology after being outed for stealing a Swedish woman's pictures (including those of her cat) was the most awesome thing I have ever read from an Internet poster.
 
[19:47] Amir0x: i do not respect liars.

he is.. our moderator.

also Wii Will Rock U posted in a thread i made a long time ago that was pretty awesome to read after his whole fiasco went down. i linked to it recently, but i forget where. anyone have a link?

EDIT: might have been in gaming. basically, this

Yes, I remember this. You could tell he was at the end of his wits when he discovered he could be banned. It was so believable though, the twitter puzzles were genius and several people, myself including, took part in them. The meltdown was hilarious though.

Huh it's 16kb??
More like your avatar needs to be resized to 90x120.

Though yours scales just fine.

wait, why was wii will rock u banned?
He posted his own viral marketing for Professor Layton.

Here's one topic, not the one which everyone berated him though: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=16579031

Here's him fellating himself(original post edited out):

To clarify: GAF will scale avatars to 90 pixels wide. As long as the height, after the width has been scaled, remains at or under 120 pixels (and the filesize is no greater than 150KB) the avatar is OK.

edit: one if the shadow forums to GAF (can't remember which...utterly fucking forgettable) had a similar setup (the forum would scale avatars to a set width) so I set my avatar to 1*20 resolution (Don't do this here, kids)

uhm, I am 200 lbs and I can bench press 500lbs... video proof @ 1:50. you are a pussy for attacking this guy who is obviously superior to you mentally, physically, and spiritually.

I like the wikipedia page for that video:

Features

Vayner's job application includes:

* Cover letter
* Resume: One and a half page
* Writing Sample: Eight pages
* A glamour shot of Vayner
* Seven-minute video that features the following feats by Vayner (in order):
o Interview: gives advice for achieving life goals
o Bench press: 495 pounds (225 kilograms)
o Downhill skiing: with jumps
o Tennis serve: 140 miles per hour (255 km/h or 63 m/s)
o Ballroom dancing: with female dancer
o Karate chop: seven bricks broken

Oh my God! He knows a woman!?!? And he danced with her!?

I don't know why I find that so funny. They put all these tremendous accomplishments for his bench press and tennis serve, then just went "ZOMG HE'S DANCING WITH A GIRL!" for ballroom dancing.

Most of these are just people acting the fool but this one really pisses me off a bit. What kind of piece of shit pimps his own fake campaign and then makes a post like this:

Wii Will Rock U said:
This is the Best. Viral. Marketing. EVER.

What a pathetic human being. I have more sympathy for the dude that posted a fake girlfriend.
 
I remember some dude that had a thrusting hips avatar was shitting hardcore on Dead Rising. Claiming he had an advance copy or something, was just stating out right lies about the game a week before the game was to go on sale. A mod asked for his gamertag for proof and he got hella defensive.

To be fair, 50% of the posts in that thread are probably fake.

Legendary. There will never be another Deadmeat. Troll of legends.
was he really a troll or did he really believe all the shit he said? i remember him posting at other boards and it looked like he believed everything he said.
 
I support this thread and want to see more hypocritical posts leading to exposes. C'mon GAF, I know you have more.
 
Didn't that Forza dude pretty much lie about everything he ever posted?
