About Me
I've never really filled out the section that asks me to describe myself, but I'm making an exception here because Destructoid is so awesome, and the column on the right looks so damn empty without something here. I'm just another guy on the internet who plays lots of games while trying to make something of myself.

You can find many of my posts at my own gaming site http://www.loneshadow.com/

The next Zelda game will be 2D/3D/cel-shaded.

Remember folks, you heard it here first. I guess Surfer Girl was actually correct in a way when she stated this about the new Street Fighter. Street Fighter IV has 3D graphics, but the gameplay is 2D, while the graphics are somewhat cel-shaded. I don't know if it was a lucky guess or what but it was correct. Now the funny thing is, why the hell can't she articulate herself better?



Look at one of her latest quotes:

SSX 5 is dead, rivalry between fall 2008 PS360 snowboarding titles of Montreal studios still existent.

Now is it just me or is she speaking a different language? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think she's attempting to speak English. She writes about one sentence on each game so is it really too much to ask that it's readable? I think I may have interpreted what she was saying but I can't really be sure due to the ambiguousness of it all, but perhaps that is where her power lies. Her method generally seems similar to a fortune teller, if you give out information that is generic enough, you're going to get lucky. Plus, people generally try and grasp at making ridiculous connections to believe in such crazy things. If just a few of the many things she claims turns out to be accurate, tons of people will be grasping to her as if she was the Messiah, begging to know if Mega Man is in Brawl. Granted, I could have easily guessed many of the things she claims to know.

I don't know about you but I'm not holding my breath. If she is a fake though, she sure is putting a lot of effort into this. But if she isn't a fake, why is she doing this? What could she possibly gain from any of this?

I briefly took her seriously when she showed "leaked pictures" of Prince of Persia 4 (still unconfirmed), but my patience has still run out. Quartermann in EGM is much more professional with his random leaks and might-happens.

I bet the next Zelda game will be a video game!

Can I get a bunch of recognition for that insight?

@Wedge/Reaprar:

Have you seen her website? It just has a single, small banner advertising John Edwards for president...that seems to be it. She links to another blog she has that appears to have no advertising. I doubt that is making her "the big bucks".

@Roflcopter Pilot:

That makes the most sense, everyone on the internet constantly strives to achieve a bigger e-peen.

@bottled dark:

I think you're right, I had guessed Street Fighter would be as it was as well...

@Necros:

I remember seeing a bunch of leaks from Ubi but I thought they came from someone hacking their site and the images were proved legit. I think that's how we saw the first shots of the new Splinter Cell before it was officially announced.

I choose to believe, since there are not many reasons to lie about most things she's been right about, and I used to study marketing vaguetalk too.

I heard from an anonymous source that the color green will show up somewhere in the game.

I drink coffe for breakfast.

Now seriously, I know I don't speak/write english properly and when I read surfergirl stuff I always ask me "WTF? I'm worst than I thought". Now, thanks to you I know she doesn't help me a lot with his grammar. :)

By the way, next Zelda will be released for Wii and Nintendo DS. I said.

2D games with 3D graphics are the sex.

Graphically 2D games where you can move in three dimensions, gay. (Yes, they exist. Flat characters moving up the screen in order to go "in" by remaining on the ground. Streets of Rage, Sonic 3D.)
