Support NeoGAF

[Tathanen]

I didn't even follow the thread! I just saw a poll and him being CG sounded like it'd be neat so I voted! Someone had a gif with something glitchy looking, I was taken in! How was I to know!!!

 

[maquiladora]

What precentage of #teamcg actually believed it was cg and want precentage was kayfabe?

I cannot believe how anyone thought that was cg...

that's it Hideo? :/

Haha, you fell for at least one ironic post in your wall of posts The first 30 pages especially were DEVIOUS with ironic joke traps.

Toma's white analysis was back when I thought everyone was just making jokes about the CG and nobody honestly believed it.

But then darkness crept into the thread.

 

[Salacious Crumb]

And that's why I don't take part in things like this.

I don't want to take part in a shaming over something as meaningless and inconsequential as a video game engine.

If the debate was so meaningless isn't the shaming then also meaningless/harmless. We're all having fun.

 

[Lijik]

It was a mask all along (Tweeted by Kojima)

I read a rumor on 4chan that this picture is actually cg

 

[Saint Gregory]

Just the first 50 pages.

I read most of those as the thread was progressing and it just kept reminding me that people always see what they want to see. We probably shouldn't give them such a hard time about being dreamers though, lol.

That doesn't look like Gwyneth Paltrow to me :/

In fairness, it sort of became hard to separate the trolls from the true believers.

That was half of the fun of the thread. Glad I kept track who was TeamReal and who wasnt. That way it was easier to keep track of the trolling.

I thought he was CG. Jesus, why is it so hard to just admit that you were wrong? Shit happens then you move on. I'm already thinking about what to have for dinner. Crow you say? Don't mind if I do!!

 

[Onyar]

I do believe it's cg.
Please teamreal, prove it!

 

[Canis lupus]

#TeamCG has lost, the dream is dead. Us at #TeamCG have paid attention to a GTTV interview more than anyone on this planet, we analyzed eye twitches, teeth, shirt movements, tongue and saliva amount, and all these observations ended up amounting to nothing. These observations amounted to pointing out real parts of one weird looking dude.

We hoped Kojima made extreme strides with visual technology, we hoped that the impossible would become the norm, the possible and probable. We had faith that Joakim could have more merit than being some random dude part of a goofy skit, that he was a a grand digital creation.

We have dreamed, we have hoped, we have lost. Can you blame a man or woman for dreaming? Nope. Can you question a man's sanity for his own dreams? Nope. Can you say you were right and nanna nanna boo boo? Absolutely.

Wall of madmen and losers:


Wall of reality and dream crushers:


Let us have it TeamReal, but know that our souls will burn forever, and that the dream will always be encased in our own being.

For life, no regrets, #CrowWithHonor

I was on #TeamReal too

ah nvm I was on #TeamHybrid

 

[Phonomezer]

There's still no proof to the contrary.

It's CG.

 

[wenis]

I want that mask.

 

[pakkit]

I'm on #TeamReal. I demand my recognition, OP! This is going on my resume.

 

[Sliver]

Sucks that it was real, but it was still a hell of a lot of fun to follow.

I am shaking my head at some of some of the posts in here, because both sides are taking this way too seriously.

Let's do a poll to determine what percentage of TeamCG posted real opinions.

 

[Toma]

Let's do a poll to determine what percentage of TeamCG posted real opinions.

Lets do a poll to determine how many people actually want to see that poll.

 

[Kageshinzo]

I think the first 40 or so pages, everyone was being tongue-in-cheek. From around 50 - 100, things were becoming dark. 100 and above was when core TeamReal members realized that holy shit these people REALLY believed he was CG. That's when the harsh love began.

 

[Limanima]

It's a conspiracy!! I know it's CG!!

 

[alr1ght]

Almost Joakim quality, guys!

 

[Derrick01]

Let's do a poll to determine what percentage of TeamCG posted real opinions.

So those results can be ignored too?

Yeah I didn't make it that far... the crow was overwhelming for me.

 

[Shadow Hog]

Eh, I just voted what my cynical mind was thinking, I guess

Would've been more interested if Team CG won

 

[Mushroomer25]

As the man who introduced NeoGAF to /v/'s brilliantly mad theory, I have no regrets. This has been a magical ride, inspiring us all to look to the future.

One day, CG Joakim will live. And then, the dream of #TeamCG will live as well.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

So much denial from #TeamReal. It was, and is CG

 

[demolitio]

What precentage of #teamcg actually believed it was cg and want precentage was kayfabe?

I cannot believe how anyone thought that was cg...

I said I would say it was CG just for the hell of it to keep the fun going...lol

Now the damn fun is over unless the entire FOX engine panel was...CG!

Edit: You might say that's backpedaling but my post literally said just that in the original.

 

[Windom Earle]

One of the worst memes I've seen on GAF.

 

[Salacious Crumb]

Almost Joakim quality, guys!

#photorealism

 

[Boss Man]

Ok, for real.

People who had all this evidence that it was CG. How do you explain that? How do you explain the teeth? The t-shirt? All that bullshit you came up with?

#TeamReal won in the end. #TeamCG, we were laughing at you, not with you.

Same reason why 9/11 was an inside job, aliens built the pyramids, and we never went to the moon.

Except more funny/light-hearted and less sad/unstable.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

We are all shamed. For outsiders GAF will be known as a community that 4chan or whatever source that came up with it, can manipulate into believing whatever stupid shit they can come up with.

Thanks TeamCG.

Lol at some members

backpedaling.

 

[Phonomezer]

Almost Joakim quality, guys!

That's in game though.

 

[Always-honest]

feels good to have eyes you can rely on.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

I think this is the right place to say this.


Uh....duh?

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I believed in the impossible.

Why did I do that.

Why

I had a fairly decent posting record on GAF before I thought.

Then I choose Team CG

It's all over now

All over

I wanted to believe so much that I actually ended up doing so

Why

It can't end this way

But it will

Best just to move on...

 

[Toma]

Eh, I just voted what my cynical mind was thinking, I guess

Would've been more interested if Team CG won

I'd also be more interested in me winning the national lottery, Probability wise CGJoakim was just slightly above that.

 

[Dictator93]

I was in it for the fun. And fuck was it fun.

GG team Real.

 

[heliconsoul]

I regret nothing.

 

[baphomet]

And just like I said in the other thread a week ago, nothing will be mentioned about this at gdc and people will still argue that it was cg. It's not cg, never was, and no matter how hard you wish, never will be. Move on.

 

[$200]

That's funny, I don't remember voting.

 

[Cramoss]

#TeamReal4Ever

 

[Angelus Errare]

Some major backpedaling going on in this thread.

 

[Demon Ice]

I mean props for your optimism, TeamCG. That would be some seriously impressive CG. Maybe in a couple of years

 

[BGBW]

 

[Jack Scofield]

What an embarrassment for NeoGAF.

 

[Drencrom]

Suck it losers

#TeamReal

{NM, late post}

"Do you see?"

 

[SykoTech]

You failed me again underdogs.

But I guess that's why you're underdogs. Lovable even when you always lose.~

 

[McNum]

I voted CG because i wanted it to be CG. I had hoped home console CG had reached that level, so it was mostly a "I want this to be CG" vote over the more down to Earth part of my mind telling me it was obviously not CG.

Kind of disappointed, but eh, Kojima's gotta Kojima. Was fun speculating about anyway.

 

[peaceiscloser]

I still can't believe this was a thing. In any case, "Joakim" from the interview was some seriously weird looking guy.
