BYOB"
 
Ok Rog I hate to be a bitch, but I need some context here. :cool:

Who said this, who do they claim to be, and how do they claim to know?

It sounds very plausible, but it also sounds like it could be a lighthearted joke as well, with the BYOB and all.
 
In all fairness...he's trying to find a link to some financial press release...I wouldn't brand him a liar just yet...maybe he misinterpreted some info...but I'll just wait and see...this is what he had to say:

"in a press statement about the new events for the 2006 fiscal schedule.
Since I keep up with the Kyoto International Conference Center events (hoping for the upcoming Brice Hornsby concert info), I noticed it.

Trying to find the link... hold on."
 
Before this all gets resolved ten minutes from now, I will say that his story seems too, well, 'regular' to be straight BS to me. But the fact that the convention center lists no such events, well obviously that's a strike against.

Anyway I'm happy to give him the benefit of the doubt - I'm just not believing anything either way until it's locked in. :cool:
 
Dunno why the Tsukuba Convention Center is mentioned w/a Kyoto address though, it's in a completely different city several hundred miles away... And there's nothing scheduled for KICH that closely resembles a Playstation event...

seems like a joke...but I hang around gaf alot and never seen him to do such a thing...weird if you ask me.
 
Well, and that's that. Quick resolution at least.

(GAF is a weird place with all those pictures all the time...)

Someone should tell the guy that arial does not look that way when outputted in HTML.

tip for next time: remove the text AA in photoshop.

Why Photoshop?
If I were him I'd modified the source HTML :p
 
These fakes are embarrassing. If you want to fake, at least make it a bit more convincing! :devilish:
And cleartype wouldn't selectively AA just the most important part. Also, Cleartype (being sub-pixel based) looks slightly different from photoshop standard AA (PS has 4 variants for Text).

OT: This reminds me, back when I faked several screenshots of a D2 item (pre-D2X) and posted them on a german D2 forum a big part of the European Battle.net population was looking for it for a few days.
The funny thing was that some continued to insist that it existed after I debunked it myself.
