This will fool the infidels! Suffering from ads?

HA! We have changed our name! Now that we are Atari, let the infidels bask in their illusion that Infogrames is dead. The consumers do not stand a chance, I guarantee it!

Also, please buy my new book!

Truth be known. Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

A little of both! Some I do myself, some I leech.

Thanks all for the complimets. You just gotta have a sense of humor to deal with what I must declare is not only the most utterly dissapointing game I've ever had the misfortune to be interested in, but for what must be the most incomprehensible, arrogant and unexcuseable conduct by any game company to date, bar none!

After acting in good faith, trying to help the developers pinpoint the bugs in their software so that a patch could be released in good time, what did I get for my troubles. Program debug disscussions with the developers were constantly interrupted by Luddites (fanboyz) with the programming skills of chimpanzees telling me the problem didn't exist (Tell my decompiler that!), culminating in Chad "Stencho" Olson (who has the temperment and judgment of a spoiled 8-year-old) banning me from the site because he didn't want anyone with any intelligence pointing out where the bugs were (didn't stop me though, "Can u say Proxy!" ). No wonder Cory Nelson took away his mod privileges and kicked him off the QS site last year for similar behavior.

If this pattern of behavior was limited to just me, I wouldn't care. Unfortunately, I am but one of around a hundred folks that I've watched get kicked off the site for either stating the truth, or not quietly submitting to being insulted and ridiculed by the Luddites that troll the site to pick fights with anyone they don't agree with. On the Infogrames (now Atari) forums, if you expound the party line, you are allowed to launch personal attacks on a poster's parentage or ethnicity; post 4 or 5 negitive entries in the forums about the game and you're banned.

Anyway, enough of the soapbox stuff. The best reason for being here rather than there is the folks here let me post funny gifs

You can find more here!

Thanks folks, thanks Apolyton!

Nope I remember the gigantic flamewar he started on Atari, so yeah he is a troll, but of the good kind, I know they are rare, but they still exist. Now if only we could find him a female ?

Tired of ads?

Oooooo, on Atari, eh? I see you got indoctrinated fast....

Anyway, on the IGMoo forums you got the troll tag really fast. I mean one "the AI sucks" would earn you "troll of the month" status...

Without the trolls, igmoo would have been like some sort of twilight zone.... not real at all.

Thank you for proving my point!

P.S. Didn't anyone care to notice the date that the "flamewar" took place? ...April 1st! Seems Olson couldn't appreciate the dry sense of humor.

P.S.S. Good one Templar. LOL! Let's just hope the public isn't so gullible.

Software of Mass Destruction! Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Lifted from the Drudge Report a few minutes ago…

Dateline Baghdad – US troops searching for WOMD’s have seemed to have uncovered a potential powderkeg that could further damage relations between Europe and the US. Soldiers from the 101st Airborne uncovered information in the former household of Iraqi Information Minister Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf indicating that certain corporate interests played a crucial roll in influencing the representatives of both France and Germany to the UN Security Council to block military action in the weeks prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Papers recovered from the residence reveal that in the weeks prior to the war, secret negotiations were underway between Saeed al-Sahaf and Infogrames SA, a multinational gaming conglomerate. Infogrames pressured France and Germany to stall for time as the negotiations continued. Talks continued right up until the American tanks began rolling through the streets of Baghdad.

The most conclusive proof of this is a photo taken in celebration upon the successful conclusion of the negotiations.

Pictured are Thomas Schmider and Bruno Bonnell of Infogrames (now hiding under the assumed name “Atari”) along with the new Head of Quality Assurance for Infogrames, Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf.

Represenatives of Infogrames SA could not be reached for comment.

Now we know the real story.

Tired of waiting for the code patch? The following item is now on sale in the Apolyton online store...

Badder than ever! Remove this text

Has anyone taken a look at the IG... woops! Atari forums lately? Seems it must be that time of the month for poor Chad. I thought things were bad before I left, even moderately negitive posts are getting snipped now. Many of the new threads look as if they were CIA documents released under FOIA! Some have been edited so badly that the only way you can begin to decypher what they were originally about is to read the responses by Olson's sock puppets (Ron & Ken).


Another Atari MoO3 forum "troll" undergoes re-education in the finer nuances of the AI by Stencho!
