Sci-Fi Geeks will LOVE this!

That was amazing! Is it really just an intro for the game? Or was it inspired by the game?
 
Reading a bit more shows it to be inspired by the game rather than a part of the game itself - I'm not surprised, given the high quality of it (tho' game shorts are starting to get pretty good these days).

It had to be done :D.

But always remember, the cake is a lie! :D

Internet bonus points to anyone who knows the unpleasantly salacious roots of that phrase ...

No takers on the origins of the phrase "The cake is a lie"? I am disappointed ... unless it means that the Net savvy membership here know their Net history pretty well already?

I'll bite. I've been on the scene since 1995 or so, and never ran into the phrase. What does it mean?
 
The topic didn't deliver on what was promised. But then, I hate video games.

Also, I saw that vid a week ago, topic titles should be more specific so I didn't have to click on that again.
 
For EH and the edification of all readers, "The Cake is A Lie" was the phrase that grew as a response to an unpleasant spate of 'spam' in the ancient days when the Net was still a-birthing. Messages would arrive in peoples in-boxes, phrased in various ways but all along the lines of that if the recipient were to open a link there would be 'cake', the inference being some rather 'tasty' imagery of unclad ladies. This spoof would open a massive image, taking an age to download in these low bandwidth days, of a hugely obese woman in a bath or some-such non-aesthetic thing.

Can't please everyone Omar, but I thought it was pretty dang cool... considering I've never heard/saw/played the game... wasn't sure what I was watching at first but by 2 minutes in... it didn't matter... at least for me anyway... However, I'll be more specific on my topics in the future.
Challenge to you: got one better? :uhyeah: (a friendly gauntlet slap there).
 
Well you could have used the term "video game" instead of sci-fi in the topic. Or both. Video games don't do a thing for me.

well, it's not a game, it a short...

(what do you mean video games do nothing fr you?!)

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I shall keep that bit of knowledge from my portal addict for the time being! :D

Darn, you mean it's not from The Matrix?

Paraphrasing, of course:
"I don't care if the steak isn't real, I can smell it and taste it. And it's darn sight better than the gruel we get..."
 
{Whispers} He means he's not very good at them ... :p :lol:{/whisper}

Oh eck! He's standing right here! :eek:.

I sometimes wish that I didn't get into video games so much, I do confess. LOTRO in particular is a HUGE time-sink and has really cut into my reading hours.

I play when I don't have the brain power to read, sadly more often than not lately....
