PAGE 1 The TRUE Revolution is here, and you are a part of it From: Lost_Revolution | Posted: 7/5/2005 11:56:16 PM | Message Detail I'm lost_revolution. I'm skiesofwonder. I thank you for solving my riddles, asking me questions, and/or waiting for my next post. What your about to hear will most likely not go so well for you, but its gotta get out there, right now. I love nintendo, and so does Brooke and Matt. Me and him have are connections to Nintendo (IGN). We had an idea of marketing the revolution by word of mouth becuase Nintendo was going to be so secretive about the revolution. Little did we know it would become so big. Your a part of what makes the revolution so revolutionary (well, besides the system itself). The marketing was planned out before the revolution was even seen. Brooke (A.K.A) Aries was the first to start it by saying he knew something about the revolution. He then got IGN (Me and Matt) to post the article up on are site, so that lots of people would see it. He then named himself Aries, and proceded to tell all about the revolutionary features. I'm sure you know this, but He then said that something huge would happen on May 19th. everybody automatically thought about E3, but little did they know that a little lost_revolution was created. We did not know it would spread so fast. Millions of fakers were spreading false info around, and it made the revolution a very hot topic. I was going to start in june, but there were to many fakers, so I had to wait intill everything kinda died down. Gamefaqs was always a personal favorite of mine, and it was the first to come to mind when brooke pitched the idea to me and Matt. I started to make all the clues add up, like lost_revolution=dreamcast, skiesof wonder=skies of arcadia MMORPG, and many more. Cube-mapping is always a good possiblity for the revolution, and so is the falcon technology for the controller. The NGB=revolution thing was just made up by me, but boy, now that I think about it, a system that small with a screen and a projector would be awesome. most of my words do come from true specualtion, and do not be suprised if some of it comes true. I'm sorry if I made any of you guys mad or frustrated. Dont get mad at me, brooke came up with the idea. I know you guys had fun, and I'm open to answer any questions you have about the revolution on my AOL account. But, This is most likely the last time you will see my Lost_revolution account. If you don't believe my story, email the REAL Matt or Brooke, and they will tell you. Well, let your right brain run wild, and I guess I will see you later.

Well I must say, this is pretty dissapointing. I guess no one ever knew anything about the revolution, but in a way, I'm not dissapointed. That was pretty fun, and it feels like us gamefaqers are a small part of Nintendo's history right here.

Sigh. I guess stupidity prevails. People have no sense of logic. From the beginning, I knew it wass all a hoax, and people were just making assumptions out of nothing. It's really sad how the masses can get worked up over nothing. I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

Why would someone go through all the trouble of making people believe a hype, and then letting them down easy like that? Why wouldn't you just drop all the sorry suckers on their asses, and then make a joke about it? And why were all those who were fooled just... brush it off like nothing. A simple-minded person made fools out of how many people?! And for how long? Months! But I guess those who have no logic, follow no logic either.

I personnally thank you Lost_Revolution a.k.a. Skiesofwonder for providing me with some fun things to think about. It got me even more excited about the Revolution. Just one question, why did you decide to stop now and not later? --- The Revolution is coming. From: rgrotz | Posted: 7/6/2005 8:35:33 AM | Message Detail Man, I love how people on this board are saying this: "See, I knew all along that NintendoON/Aries/Skiesofwonder/lost_revolution was fake. I can't believe all of you are so gullible. I am sooo smart, and a much better person in general than all of you." You guys are the people that take fun out of every possible situation. You guys are the ones that want the Rev to be just like the PS3 and Xbox 360. Change scares you, which is why you bash those that claim to know what the real Revolution is. I really wish you would stop being so negative and let those of us that enjoy solving these riddles (even if they are bogus) and playing these games along. From: Nin10dohFanatic | Posted: 7/6/2005 9:17:00 AM | Message Detail I emailed Matt and this was his reply: Nin10dohFanatic, I am in no way connected to these erroneous posts in some GameFaqs message board posted by some lunatic gamer claiming to know me. Do you have any idea how many gaming message boards there are? Were I to start any rumors (though highly unprofessional and very unlikely) do you not think I would do it through our own IGN boards? All the Revolution information and rumors have been posted in the Revolution FAQ found at http://cube.ign.com/articles/522/522559p1.html I hope you make this clear to the people over at GameFAQs. I am a busy guy, and usually I do not take time to answer emails regarding false information, but I wanted to clear up this little matter as I do not want my name thrown around and slandered by some freak of the week.

Where men are men, women are men and preteen girls are CIA agents. -Achwyn From: el_bench | Posted: 7/6/2005 9:52:37 AM | Message Detail Nice story, took me a long time to read it all up and learning that it was part of someone's joke is a disapointment but the reason behind it is quite valid and it was to hype up the system which is not always a good thing. Anyway I do think there can be a lot of things that might become true, and one of my favorite ideas would be the change in the screen, a projector is too expensive, complicated and delicate so thats really not the path to go, but what if the image is sent to a "Virtual Boy" kind of thing, just like it was shown in Nintendo ON (I know the video is said to be fake) and better yet, someone ( I cant remmember who) said something about the best way to aim in a FPS, well here's my theory, aiming can be done though your own eyes, CANON already has a digital camera tha focus depending on where you are looking at, apply this technology to the "Virtual boy" in a 3d enviroment and image the possibilities.
