ROFLCON HOOOOOOOO!

I’ll be in Boston tomorrow morning (Friday) till Sunday. Email me evilzug@evilzug.com with a ’sup’

So you are probably following my internetting with my new friend, fake pretend marketing internet person. » Update: Grand Theft Auto IV Viral Bloggery - ScatteredGenius.com

I challenged him specifically, saying:

Well, mister pretend internet marketing liar man, I don’t believe you! You say you are real, then I challenge you to update your blog in such a way that there’s no posts about GTA on the front page. You say you’re not a marketing company or hired to blog, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t a clever employee or spouse or whatever of someone at Rockstar or any of their related companies. WHAT SAY YOU, INTERNET STRANGER!?

So it looks like, as a result, he’s added a comment to his post:

So this guy has challenged me to update my site in such a way that there are no Grand Theft Auto posts on the front page… As the game is only 1 week away now, and I’m surely going to write about the game experience I doubt that will happen. Sorry, can’t take you up on that challenge!

I WIN! YOU ARE A FAKE INTERNET PERSON! I SEE YOUR PRETEND! YOU HAVE PRETENSE!

It’s cool, I got nothing but respect for you. If I could get paid to pretend on the internet, I would. I suppose I sort of do? Who knows. Either way I will probably buy your game in some form or another and indirectly pay you for doing what you’re doing in some form or another, so cheers! Everyone who reads my blog knows exactly when the game is coming out and how much fun the multiplayer is, as well as being entertained by our internet war. We’ve accomplished good goals. I feel that we’ve made a breakthrough here. Cheers!

So, I posted about what I thought of this mystery commenter here: » Grand Theft Auto IV Viral Bloggery? - ScatteredGenius.com

Well turns out they were listening and have not only replied to me in my comments, saying:

Hi, I just responded to your post on my site… not sure if the trackback worked or not though.

Anyway, thanks for the plug and subscription… I am real, and will update my blog. If I find something else of interest (GTA4 maybe) on your blog, I’ll be sure to come back and comment :)

…but they’ve also posted on their site:

Very interesting way to look at things. I don’t know what to think of this at first… maybe I’m a genius and didn’t know it because I laid a link on a blog post that I found interesting? Or maybe I’m just a GTA4 fan that found someone bored enough to write about me? Either way its kind of entertaining.

Well, mister pretend internet marketing liar man, I don’t believe you! You say you are real, then I challenge you to update your blog in such a way that there’s no posts about GTA on the front page. You say you’re not a marketing company or hired to blog, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t a clever employee or spouse or whatever of someone at Rockstar or any of their related companies. WHAT SAY YOU, INTERNET STRANGER!?

Woo, a picture I’m happy with!

I wanna go here, it’s in San Jose.
