Some Cold Hard Evidence that Surfer Girl is a Fraud.
AKK | 9:15 PM on 01.14.2008 15 comments


I've not wanted to believe it. But the other day, when Surfer Girl put up the list of things that she'd predicted, it made me wonder. "Wait a second... why would she need to do this if she was for real? All of her shit would come true...."

Then, today, IGN put up a story that completely contradicted something Surfer Girl was so convinced of.

Here.

UPDATE: Apparently, it needs to be clarified that Factor 5's next title (and the one after that) are PS3-only.

Well, time to call bullshit.

God damn it.

Official: Factor 5 Back on Wii
Company president confirms that it's making at least one non-Virtual Console project for Nintendo's new system.

This is exactly why women shouldn't be allowed on the internet.

Goddamn attention whores.

Stupid line but you have the right idea but wrong motives.

Surfer Girl is a "fraud" cause she says the most obvious things like, "the next Mario game will be on a Nintendo platform," or "Metal Gear Solid 4 will come out this year." Sure some of it is more accurate and less general but you get the idea.

sorry...I didn't listen to girls who "Surf" for gaming info. I go to Destructoid for that.

Yet...Destructoid's floosy for trying to give Surfer Girl attention. *runs very far*

as stated above, most of her crap was pretty obvious crap anyway.

I agree with Workmeng to a point. SuferGirl is over rated as an "amazing inside source for video game news". Compared to Workmeng, Niero, and Nick, she's nothing. But she hasbroken a few stories I'd never seen anywhere else before she reported them, like the Nintendo characters in Marvel Ultimate Alliance thing and that Prince of Persia in-progress game dev screen shots that got verified as real a week or so after she posted them. Plus, she was nice to Tristero, which always scores points with me.

But as for this Factor 5 "inconsistency" you speak of, it's non-existent as of right now. Factor 5's next game may still be for the PS3, with a Wii game to follow. Or it may be that Factor 5 was planning on making a PS3 game when SurferGirl reported that news, and has since changed plans.

If I told all my friends I was planning to marry a girl and then she dumped me, do you think my friends would be like "LIAR! You said you were getting married! You're info is never legit!"

Actually, maybe the would. But that doesn't make it right.

I think she's good entertainment and to be taken with a grain of salt, at best. Or 2D or 3D shaded, maybe.

Pretty much was Niero said. She's an interesting talking point at times, but nothing to be taken as gospel. It sounds sometimes like she's one of those horoscope writers, being vague enough so it could be anything. While it's likely he/she has some connections, I don't know why she's become so amazingly trusted, outside of the obvious fact that she's either a girl or pretending to be a girl.
