Infinium Labs Threatens Gaming News Site

Over the past year or two, Slashdot has run a number of stories about Infinium Labs and their Phantom Game Console (that phrase still makes me smile, every time). I think we've been generous to them, taking their game console talk at more or less face value, despite the vaporous nature of the product. Now they've decided that threats are a better plan for improving their image than producing a real product, and threatened HardOCP over an older news story. Our own Robin Miller has talked to Infinium and written up his impressions of the situation.

    FireFox suggests that it's sleek and quick, which is totally false advertisement.

    FireThreeToedSloth sounds about right.
    ThunderTortoise might work, but I doubt it'll 'win the race'.

    Ye old "I worked there, I'll tell you a story with no way you can look it up, get a score:5 without a fact to back it up" troll.

    Mods, YHBT.

    Now will someone with half a brain and mod points shoot this sucker down? If you are gonna mod up a troll, mod up an original one, not amateur crap :-P

    That just reminded me of the simpsons episode where the family goes into witness protection:

    Agent: Tell you what, sir. From now on, you'll be, uh, Homer Thompson
    at Terror Lake. Let's just practise a bit, hmm? When I say,
    "Hello, Mr. Thompson," you'll say, "Hi."
    Homer: Check.
    Agent: Hello, Mr. Thompson.
    Homer: [stares blankly]
    Agent: Remember now, your name is Homer Thompson.
    Homer: I gotcha.
    Agent: Hello, Mr. Thompson.
    Homer: [stares blankly]
    [A long time later]
    Agent: [sighs in frustration] Now, when I say, "Hello, Mr. Thompson,"
    and press down on your foot, you smile and nod.
    Homer: No problem.
    Agent: Hello, Mr. Thompson! [stomps on Homer's foot a few times]
    Homer: [stares blankly]
    [to other agent] I think he's talking to _you_.

    Now those same mods will use their points to come to "her" defense by modding you down. Sorry buddy, but it's the way of things here.

  8. Yup, looks like a troll account. by bad+enema · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    But look at all these AC's screaming about troll accounts. You'd think trolling was going out of style or something.

    Y'all need to get a life kids. Bullshit posts? Fake accounts? I've seen it all and mmuch worse here and nobody freaks out about it as much as in this case. So why don't you all admit that you have nothing better to do than to bitch that someone is pretending to be a girl? Do you all have some thing against girls? Is that thing shoved up your collective asses?

    Way to be subtle about your failures, bud. I think you'll find the solution to all of your problems at the bottom of a cliff. Don't forget to act really tough and angry on your way there, too.

    If you look at the troll's only journal entry, they've called it quits already: (cut and pasted for the lazy):
    And just after I began too. Apparently my 'karma' is now 'terrible' and this means I can only post twice daily. This happened because some people believed I was a 'karma whore troll'. I did a bit of googling and found the wikipedia slashdot 'troll' page. While this is all very fascinating, I really have better things to do than participate in a community like this.

    So goodbye and good luck slashdot!

    No mention of the "she's a guy" shit, though. Not a bad mornings' work :-)

    You're kidding, right? First rule of internet chicks: The ugliness of the girl is direct proportional to the blurriness of the picture. It's not a artistic effect...she did that to hide her dog faces.

    She's also a dumb bitch, judging from her blog.
