Any of you remember the best time you were Pranked / Playfully deceived (aka pranked Razz ) on this site? I figured I would post this as I am a new member posting, and never gave him his full credit... But the first time I ever viewed this forum was a reference from a friend regarding information in Dragon Age as it was closing in. And every time I think of NFOHump, I think of Epsilon, posting that he had the game for like 24 hours, posting us screens and giving us his first hand impressions, saying it was underwhelming, but fun. Eventually, as everyone just kept prodding for more in-depth questions he cracked, spilled the beans, and we decided we decided we were very angry!! Crying or Very sad ..but laughing Laughing

Any of you older members have a good release or otherwise pranking story to tell?

We had a good one when MW2 was about to be released, and we pranked the PC droolers that it was already released in the VIP Warez FTP. Laughing

Got a link? I'm still trying to find the page Epsilon started his god-like shitstorm on the pc-thread...but it may be in the console as he was slamming it pretty hard with sub-par textures.

I believe this is it..read over the 8 pages... and remember how tormented you were by his luck..and the feeling of your stomach dropping as he said that last post.

GOD DAMN YOU EPSILON! (You are such a professional prankster Smile)

I remember hitting the refresh button like every 20 minutes and he kept coming up with these screen shots I had never seen.. I don't think I was ever more disparaged when he told us all we sucked for waiting for it lol.

Well done epsilon sir, well done.

i can just image all the "vip warez ftp mw2" google searches Razz and the calls to gamestop to see if their xbox pre-orders are ready for pickup.


but really there is a MW2 map release, its a map with lots of buildings and coke machines and this one is only $10 but you can get it free at VIP Warez FTP.

Basically any high profile game with new people coming every second, asking when it will be released is a golden opportunity for a prank. Very Happy Don't know how no one did such prank for AC2. Laughing

probably because everyone was more focused on the drm, was some serious business that drm that lasted for a whole day.

This isn't exactly a prank, more like a nfohump anecdote :

Remember the time when that guy had a monitor problem (wrong colors or something) and he took a printscr-screenshot and posted for us to see the problem ? lmfao !

Yes, the April Fools joke this year was awesome.. I was shocked and it took me 45 seconds to regain my composure and cast a second glint at the image on my screen and realise something was fishy. Wink
