renart posted:I remember spreading a very tame Mario 64 Playable Luigi rumor when talking to a childhood friend of mine. I basically told him that it could be done by pressing all of the buttons on the N64 controller while standing outside the castle (creative, I know). I say it's "very tame" because some of the other Luigi rumors I've read here are comparatively quite cruel, mine could've been evaluated in seconds, especially since he had a brother who could help him hold down the buttons. I think the most creative Luigi rumor I heard was one that said he wasn't playable, but if you beat the game a certain way he would make a cameo in the ending cutscene. Somehow that just felt a lot more believable to me as a kid.

Hope this hasn't been posted, I'm on page 43. Anyone remember the Nintendo Revo? It was in the days JUST before we were given our first glimpse of the new Nintendo Wii at E3. I'm not sure where I first saw this video posted (maybe in the SA forums?)but I for one didn't know what to think. The video was so well done that my younger, more gullible self believed it at first. I remember that during E3 that year, people were dissecting every tiny little thing Reggie and Iwata were saying during their speeches and turning it into a conspiracy theory that was supposed to end with the reveal of the Revo. I'm not sure who actually made the video but obviously it turned out to be a fake. Here's a youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cbdJeE-x6E

The thing that stuck out at me was that Nintendo wouldn't use abbreviated names in an official release type of thing.

SpeedofLife posted:So, what the verdict on that Secret of Evermore article? Total bullshit? I'm pretty sure it is total bullshit, but I buy into the idea that the game was once planned to be much more darker with bigger boss fights throughout but they ran out of Megabits and either didn't feel like telling the same story or were told to cut things back. The Noises coming from inside Children is a bad-rear end title, though. That's the sort of thing that sends shivers down your spine.

The high school bands I knew when I was in high school usually named their songs "Vicious Rage" and "Solemn Endings" and if they leaned toward emo, it was always metaphors that didn't make sense and titles that are way too long (which is authentic to the genre). Actually, I just grabbed a CD from my friends band back in 2002. The best name for a song is "Gray Street". The worst name for a song is "Lies you knew were true". Maybe you knew more creative high schoolers.

Screamo songs are the worst. We had a local scremo band with a song titled "The Great Mouse Detective".  On-topic: I recall tons of "Aeris can be revived" stories back in elementary school. Also ones to get Rufus and the Turks to join your party. I wish that one was true.

Orzo posted:You are the reason these stories get written. Hey, you can like the title and not be a Hyper-Gulliboid. I also have to agree that high school song titles are either blatant offensive/sexual puns or awful-sounding angst for the most part. Actually, I suppose in this intense new decade in which we have now arrived, it is possible that they have moved on to somehow-unsettling-phrases. But I figure they are more likely to have moved on to things like "Tender Systematic Love 9,000" or "!!!!"

I knew it was fake as soon as I saw that it gave 2002 as the Gamecube's launch year, which was only the case in Europe. This was being sold as a leaked E3 video, so that made no sense.

Eox posted:...and one about handjobs. Content: Another good FFIV urban legend I heard of, thought don't remember confirming or not: the 8^2 curse. I read this in the Ogopogo Examiner, which was a newsletter that Square put out at the time. It said that if you entered and exited a door 64 times in a row, the game would freeze and delete all of your save files. I never tried it, because I was terrified of losing my save data. I also thought that WarMech was an urban legend for a while, but (unfortunately) I found him.

I knew about the WarMech because Final Fantasy came out with that beastiary map. I also remember when my dad found it. It scared the poo poo out of him and me.
