Ez posted:I'm a few pages late, but can somebody summarize the whole truth.rtf thing. I got a page in and was too bored to finish the last 6. I can't promise to write as good a summary as the others previously but here goes: Hi, I'm Matt. I wrote a bunch of notes about how spooked I am by my haunted game cartridge I bought from some perverse old man, so feel free to download this file instead of googling it up on pastebin! Please download it. It's important! :shh: Please beLIEve me OK ANYWAY you notice at some points I equip some items that only people who played Zelda would know about. They all mention TRUTH in their names ok fine you didn't play it gently caress you This is the gist of my log: I AM SO SCARED BECAUSE OF GHOSTS  LOG: Pervert is looking at me from under my window, geez. Elegy of Emptiness statue keeps popping up everywhere incl. Macdonalds and my desktop. All my videos are clear because it is a cartridge possessed by a  and not because it's video-edited with emulators!NOW MY DREAMS HAVE STATUES GEEZ Oh poo poo, computer just started talking to me through http://www.cleverbot.com/ wants to be free ACTUALLY NO HE JUST WANTS TO SCARE ME oh god I am so scared please let me hug my mum I like my mum she is the only woman I ever lovedMy windows logo is an elegy of emptiness icon. Microsoft Security Essentials why have you failed me. Moon Children have maggots crawling out of their ORAFICES and they have sunken black eyes and yellow smiles that keep increasing and they like to play. Uh oh, Happy Mask Salesman is in my dreams too! Can you please stop telling me I've met with a terrible fate, I got it the last time you jumpscared me in that video. GOD drat computer is now helping me upload my videos and loving up my descriptions. I specifically mentioned the MOON CHILDREN why would it delete it loving computer I hate you computer ok tell you what i'm going to youtube to edit it. how the gently caress is youtube down god drat it why is youtube still down ok gently caress this i'm going to the library to use youtube better bring this cartridge with me in case  Hey let's talk about matt.wmv! I can't repeat the telescope glitch because is an rear end in a top hat. I decided to learn the Elegy of Emptiness song. Uhhh I guess you can see what happened in that video for yourself.  PS I don't have a roommate unlike the description of matt.wmv, OooOOooOOooOOooOOoo!Conclusion: is a gigantic rear end in a top hat who preys on everyone's securities and makes you feel safe but would turn out to be that guy who put a roofie into your drink one night and you wake up with I AM MR GAY tattooed on your face. Actually not really, you'd get tattooed with an elegy of emptiness statue on your face. SO TO AVOID GETTING IN YOUR COMPUTER: don't download any of my youtube videos or anything based off it! OH poo poo YOU DOWNLOADED THIS DOCUMENT. Oh well enjoy your ghosts. Yours sincerely, Zalgo.

They also cut the diary from the original (with the grave after the second snake fight being where you found the final entry). There were cut nightmare sequences, too, and rumors about some super gun you could only find if you looked through certain boxes, boxes that had been cut. I think I still have issue 2 of Powerstation around somewhere, and that had a lot of information in it. There was a lot that was taken out and a lot more that was completely made up. I also had my bag torn open because I had a magazine detailing Lara Croft nude cheats inside it. And the Zelda thing is just cheesy now. It seems the way with any initial success on the internet, though: "Oh, my first comedy song was popular? Best do five more!" "What? People like my drunken Superman sketch? Better make it a webseries!"

The Majora's Mask story is pretty lame, but if actually managed to put code in the ROM that somehow plants an image of the statue on your PC, or sets it as your background or something, that's pretty cool.

univbee posted:The closest thing I've heard of as a similar concept was arcade cabinets of Street Fighter III and other CPS-3 Capcom games being encrypted and storing their decryption key on a chip rigged to a "suicide battery." Essentially the game's decryption key was stored in a way similar to NES games with battery backup, in a way that removing the encryption chip to be read elsewhere would break the connection to the battery and wipe the encryption key. This worked for a really long time (as in there were no bootleg cabinets of SF3), but some crazy dude spent a month on it a few years ago and managed to recover the key somehow, leading to Capcom CPS-3 emulation. This is from a few pages ago but do you have any more info on this? It sounds really interesting.

Similarly, the guy he mentions in the last one who brute-forced the keys on CPS2 titles did some blogging about it over here. (wait oh poo poo were you asking about the guy decrypting it in a month or the suicide battery itself, haha... I know I've read articles on the latter, lemme go find those again) suicide battery info (especially Capcom's uses) can be found here and some random tech info and an unofficial CPS3 FAQ here. claw game handjob fucked around with this message at 09:49 on Sep 19, 2010 |

It was pretty much just among my friends from what I know, but in Super Smash Bros Brawl there's a whole hell of a lot of music. Among the songs included are two different Tetris songs. As a result there was a little speculation of there being a Tetris level, and some fun-sounding ideas on what one would be like. No dice though.

It's not on the disc, and people aren't even sure if it was made and then removed or not made at all. I'd assume it's the latter. The only reference on the disc are some vague filename-like strings mixed with the rest of the song filenames.

Frankosity posted:I think you basically just ended up fighting the embodiment of nihilism, considering the whole thing was kicked off by a psychotic narcissist trying to destroy time and space because he won't live fabulously forever, at which point the self-destruct mechanism for causality turns up and goes 'welp, guess everyone wants nothing after all, let's wrap this up.' Sorry to bring this back, but from what I remember at the end of the Kuja fight, he kills you all using Ultima, which is why you are fighting the thing that processes souls. Then, you kill it, and presumably stop the process forever so people can just die or not die or something FFIX is easily the best FF game, but that very final boss didn't make too much sense.

I'm not sure how Ultima comes into this. It's just an OH poo poo moment knowing that Kuja's juiced himself up with so much Trance power that he can use an iconic spell in the series renowned for being pretty much unbeatable, there isn't any indication that it has anything to do with the Tree. There isn't really much evidence for Necron being the non-material side of the Iifa tree, really, it's just basically a universe-level grim reaper who decides Kuja's hissyfit condemns sentience as pointless. It really is just out of nowhere plotwise, but it's still one of the coolest final bosses out of the FF games I've played. I'll shut up now

There was a game on the Amstrad CPC called "Meltdown". It was ridiculously hard to beat just like all games of that era, since they were usually only an hour or two long you had to pad them out by making them essentially impossible. There was also a magazine that I can't remember the name of at all (Amstrad Attack? Something like that) that focused on Amstrad games and often had people mailing in about the big titles on the platform - like The Bard's Tale or Elite - and little hints sections for games like Meltdown. I still remember that one day someone posted in that they'd finally, finally completed the game. To the magazine's knowledge they were the only one that had done it, as nobody in the office could complete the thing. The last screen of the game, said the letter, was a phone number. The letter writer rang the number and the person who answered was the writer! Who I think was French, but I can't really remember any more. He told the letter writer that nobody else had completed it and he was really really glad to finally hear from someone who had. Thinking this is an Amstrad game that probably had a circulation of about 1000, if that, the idea of him having his phone number at the end isn't too outlandish but I still wonder if it's true. And if you ring it now, does anyone answer? Surely someone else has heard of this and can confirm it or deny it for me. Anyone?

I had no idea it was just some fan made album based on the track names and not actual unused tracks on the game itself.

I think I made one with some blocks already in place and near the top one of those pressure sensitive falling blocks would drop into a gap. Works as a more vertically orientated level where you have to keep climbing.

He should have just stopped after the video he came out with just before thetruth.rtf and left it up to people's imagination. I'm sure there's going to be people out there who think that this is still part of the game though.

Oncogene posted:http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/ quote:I eventually introduced a "Link" to the viewers, with a second Youtube account, and my idea was to have him decide what kind of actions he'd take based on reponse videos. These response videos would require the user to boot up their own copy of Zelda and preform an action, not only making them feel more apart of the story, but directly in control of it. The viewers now served as Link's guide - or Navi as it was in the game. The main example of this is how Link is killed because of a bad video response on Youtube to a video put up by Jadusable (an incorrect song played). Link then posts a video on his account of the game over screen and nothing more. Yet not even 30 minutes later another user records a video - without any hints from me whatsoever - of him playing HIS Zelda game and releasing a fairy (which revives the player if killed) - which prompted me to revive Link and continue as him. This was only the beginning of what I originally had in mind - Link was the only person who could save our reality despite him being in a completely different dimension, but the players could dictate his actions. So in a sense, they were the guide, yet they were also the actual "player" controlling Link. I'm not going to reveal entirely what would have happened to the main characters or the plot, because I do intend to pick it up again some day and continue this. What in the bloody hell. He claims he's trying to get an agent to sell his tv show. I'm not incredibly aware of how television works but that doesn't quite strike me as realistic at all. "I wrote a story that scared 4chan, buy my show?" VVVV to be incredibly fair to shitmydadsays, that form of comedy of "my dad is crazy and makes everyone around him cringes" is more probable to strike a chord with a tv audience, as opposed to some haunted game which most people wouldn't have played. I like video games but couldn't even be bothered to find out what an "elegy of emptiness" is. Why would the average tv viewer do that?

I was really hoping he would have moved onto say, someone posting on his Youtube page how after downloading the TheTruth.rtf, the statue popped up when they were playing Bioshock. And then you'd see a video of a guy playing Bioshock, the statue being seen, and then the game crashing. You know, stuff like that. Keep it about videogame haunting/cursing/glitching. But nooo he has to be a fan fic guy.
