'pre eminent' means
webcivilian said:I don't think that it will be this slim. The above looks crap btw. The new slim 360 still has to fit the hard drive and the wireless controller that Microsoft sold all these years. Unless they make a model with built-in hdds but thats taking away money from add on market.
So... isn't the world of gaming pretty fucked up?
Firstly, any old dumbass can start a blog spouting crap and so-called 'legitimate' gaming websites fall over themselves to cover it. I'm looking at you MaxConsole.
What's more, within the space of hours gaming forums are only too willing to perpetuate substance-less rubbish. Even the oh-so-precious NeoGaf with it's "I'm more hardcore that you" snobbery. 280 replies and 26,000 page views... Gee, thanks guys.
Seriously, I often wonder if 90% of the people on that site even know what 'preeminent' means? Especially when, of late, a quick run through the first page of Gaf is actually the same mix of bitching and N4G reposts you get on any other gaming forums.
Standards have fallen.
See ya.

This is as much as you can get to Surfergirl:

Also helpful since Surfergirl was looking through resumes/portfolios for her information:

Hey, that was supposed to be a secret.NHale said:Oh well, I'm going to create a twitter account named GameSpoon and my first tweet will be "Dudebro II will be announced at E3 as the launch title for the new Sega console". Believe!
:loljigglywiggly said:You want to talk about dropped standards?
In a thread, on GAF, linking Natal to Metal Gear Solid, this wasn't posted at all.
Dark days, indeed.

yencid said:hah what standards? and whats with the mention of Gaf?
From the very first page it was dismissed as this not being her.
Surfergirl sounded better than burrito-holmes.Gravijah said:Is she really a girl?
NinjaFusion said:You think that MS wouldn't pay a BUCKET LOAD of cash to get a core franchise like that on Natal?
NinjaFusion said:But i do wonder - have standards fallen? A lot of N4G shit does seem to get posted these days.
no no no the original surfer girl actually got stuff right... this its a pretty bad attempt specially if you noticed what "insider information" was posted in that blog before admitting that it was fake.TommyT said:There still hasn't been a posting of the MGS4 for 360 boxset.
I didn't bother to copy the link location (which I'd bet leads to this thread), but I imagine it is that a thread was posted at all about "SurferGirl" and that some people actually believed these speculations.
BurritoBushido said:Seriously though, Why hasn't this topic been closed yet?
REMEMBER CITADEL said:And one also has to wonder - how high were the standards in the first place? Is simply higher than N4G, GameFAQs and GameTrailers high enough?
yeah because everyone cares so much that Gaf (or any one site for that matter) gets mocked.NinjaFusion said:it's actually just sad now...
The thread is perpetuating itself even though someone is openly mocking the site... just proves that people don't even read a small % of a thread before replying.
NinjaFusion said:I was thinking more about Maxconsole.
But i do wonder - have standards fallen? A lot of N4G shit does seem to get posted these days.
ArjanN said:For a laugh, go to one of those forums and take a look. Makes you apprciate NeoGAF all the more.

charlequin said:oh no the gaffer who created this fake blog pretending to be surfergirl is butthurt that we weren't convinced we'd better stop posting
It's too late.MacBosse said:So shall we do the "prove that you are Surfer Girl" and "I don't have to prove nothin' to you idiots" dance and routine or is it to early?
ULTROS! said:I remember Surfer Girl predicted Kingdom Hearts will be in the Wii...
What's scary is majority of her predictions came true. :lol
Hex said:Define majority, because I do not think that word means what you think it means
Insomniac Games will surprise everyone at E3 - probably even Sony.
Son of Godzilla said:Wait so now everyone just blindly believes this surfer girl? hmph.
It's Son of Godzilla. He likes to post the exact opposite of what anyone would, in any circumstance.NinjaFusion said:it was fake... the blog in question even posted as such.
See? Now it makes sense.Son of Godzilla said:Wait so now no one believes the old surfer girl? hmph.
