UK:RESISTANCE 'main page'
Thanks everyone! It was an enjoyable day yesterday, as the reptilian overlords behind Wikipedia battled to retain control of the site's Lair entry. We particularly enjoyed the subtle addition of the word 'minge', which stayed undetected for some six hours.


Lair/Liar hilarity


THE BEST ACTS OF VANDALISM:
  • "It is rumored, however, the game may support between 0 and 1 players"

  • "Premium will ship with 30 dragons but the Basic edition will ship with no dragons. One of the main features of the online package will be the option to purchase extra dragons via 'sonsactions'"

  • "...a screenshot released shows a man in heavy armour riding a mighty monkey steed"

  • "Lair is a upcoming game being developed by Factor 5 and published through Sony Computer Entertainment America for the Sony PlayStation 3 video game console. It uses the Wii controller's tilt functions for movement within the game"

  • "Lair is a collection of captured images from Sean Connery crap-fest "Dragonheart". They will be exclusively viewable on Sony's billion dollar PS3"

  • The premise of the game revolves around ordering pewter dragons from mail-order companies that advertise in the back of Sunday supplement magazines. The more dragons you order, the bigger your army (the combat phase of gameplay takes place within the impoverished fantasy life of the game's hirsute protagonist, Simon), although this leads to an increasing chance of you defaulting on your installment plan, and having your kneecaps shattered by a sociopathic bailiff, 'Bricka'"

  • "You will need two PS3s, two copies of Lair from the same shop of the same edition (five editions are confirmed), a link cable and two SonyLAIR HDTVs as on all other TVs the graphics are scrambled"


  • AND THE WINNER:
  • "...it wants to be a launch title, because dragon games sell"

  • Scroll through all the edits by reading the article's history page. As you read, you may like to stay mentally active by pondering WHAT SORT OF PERSON spends all day reloading a Wikipedia entry on an obscure PS3 game to correct minor acts of vandalism?

    lol put up more links to vandalise please!! ill get started on ps3 later

    I was quite impressed by someone's "A (fake) screenshot of Lair" title on the image, only visible when you click through. That was still there after the main article got locked.
    Blogger schteddy said...
    Come on, let's start up a wikipedia page on 'Lair_(video _game)_vandalism'.

    You can still change things like the image page, or better still, shouldn't someone who knows what they're doing replace the pre-rendered shot with the realtime screenshot?

    Hardly the MOST hilariously shocking and embarrasing thing Sony have said at the TGS...

    Yes! I'm finally a winner at something!

    I knew all that browsing the interwebs would pay off.
    Blogger bilal said...
    this is easily one of the best things UKR have ever done.

    easily ranks up there with the 50 cent bulletproof hit-list thingy (it WAS 50 cent, wasn't it?)
    Blogger Hughes. said...
    A new wiki entry for "PS3 Lie Watch" would be a better tactic, shirley?

    Don't forget to include the hottest lie euphemism of the new gen, "Target Renders".
    Blogger bilal said...
    target renders have been used since people were first able to do target renders

    but i doubt the wikipedia guys would allow something like that.

    can't hurt to try, though, can it?

    I must've beent he only person to notice this, this edit was pure win!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lair_%28video_game%29&oldid=77024271

    "The game has been confirmed as an exclusive title for the Sega Megadrive, which will launch on November 17, 2006 in the U.S. It is unusual for publishers to actively support older consoles such as the Megadrive, but it was felt that only this platform provided the sheer processing power required to render the graphics."

    2 entries! I'm t3h l33t!
    Blogger the vee said...
    my comment was the winner! I feel so proud, like the time when I was eight and smashed all of those windows and started fires at the building site. Let's all do one for GT HD.
    Blogger J3110 said...
    This should deffinatly be a weekly thing. Just post a target wiki page and people can vandalise it. I'm in.

    I've got to say that's absolutely one of the funniest things I've read in ages. I'm sitting here in tears as I write this.

    I particularly liked:

    'FACT! Sony is gay'

    I don't know who did that one but by god it was good.

    Props to all you sad bastards who've got nothing better to do than make me chuckle!
    Blogger bilal said...
    yeah it's weird that they'd tell you it's locked for anonymous users/newly-created accounts, but then they say such users can create an account, which in itself would be newly-created and hence useless.

    ohhh, i see, it's their idea of a joke, is it?
    Blogger Dr Hamhock MD said...
    Why was this removed?

    "The identity of the man in the armor is currently unknown other than that he appears to have a fondness for dragons and enjoy riding them much as girls love riding horses due to the sensation of their backs grinding against their labia."

    Blogger Sl1pstream said...
    Resistance:

    The humans seem to be relying on more unconventional weapons, including a pump-action blender, an automatic rifle that resembles an umbrella with a scope attached, and a giant robotic history crab.
    Blogger Starke said...
    One game was enough to be honest.

    Don't get me wrong, it was fucking awesome and everyone should be totally proud, and I have no doubt that Zorg is, but taking it any further just becomes a bit twinkish.

    TOKYO GAME SHOW UPDATE!
    After a hands on playtest of the game Lair, further details include that dragons will power up by collecting Sony laptop computer batteries littered in a valley next to King Dell's castle, enabling them to belch fire at consumer criticism.

    "As you read, you may like to stay mentally active by pondering WHAT SORT OF PERSON spends all day reloading a Wikipedia entry on an obscure PS3 game to correct minor acts of vandalism?"

    But what kind of people spend all day vandalising a Wikipedia entry on an obscure PS3 game? Or any PS3 game for that matter.
    Blogger bilal said...
    These guys, that's who!

    (it woulda been better to say 'us' but i couldn't think of anything to put in the wiki at the time)

    unrelated Emily Booth news:

    she's on this duff program on channel 5 about best blockbuster movies or whatever and she was using real words like she could almost be taken seriously!

    Blogger cosmonaut_zero said...
    That program was rubbish, some shit films made that list even for the standard of list show voters. (Booth looked like she hadn't washed for a while though...)

    Too much of my work is getting a mention. Need to get a life and stop watching list shows and vandalising wikipedia. :-/
