Surfer Girl No More!!
Y0j1mb0 \| 9:17 PM on 05.08.2008	38 comments

Somehow I don't think this is what she looks like. If she's even a she.

I never understood the appeal of this self proclaimed messiah of vague, generalized inside game predictions. To me most of her inside knowledge amounted to guesses that most could come up with on their own..Gears of War 2 coming? Really? Sometimes she might smack one out of the park but if this was baseball she would be relegated to the minor leagues.

But whatever she may have been, a bonafide insider with her ear to the ground or a charlatan who wanted John Edwards to win the nomination, it seems her reign of medium activities is over. Surfer Girl has exited stage left. She has quit. In her last blog post she claims:

*What was the point of this blog? Force folks to pay attention to important things going on in the real world and encourage them to become activists for social and political progress. I probably failed miserably, but at least I tried.
as well as:

*Industryites, bad QoL situations will not get better by telling no one about them.

and finally:

*You cannot honestly be surprised that Doom 4 was announced, can you? I'm guessing you are the kind that will be shocked when things like Call of Duty 6, Diablo III, Hitman 5, Onimusha 5, Max Payne 3, the non-wagglefest starring those Rabbids, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 3, Sniper Studios' Capcom title, Dynasty Warriors 8, NBA Street 5 and Turok 2 are announced.

Hasta Luego, Surfer Girl.

BUT WHO WAS SHE?

The public must know.

Jim Sterling

Dynasty Warriors 8?

SURFER GIRL CONFIRMS THAT THERE WILL BE NO DYNASTY WARRIORS 7! HEADLINE NEWS!

Excel-2011

Good riddance.

TheToiletDuck

Women eh? Am i right?

MrSadistic

i am so depressed right now

Geoff Henao

This is the worst news I've received since I found out Hillary Clinton's not a man in disguise.

happyorangeman

Is that what she was trying to do? I just thought she was crazy!

Seriously though, I read her blog once in a while. RIP person I will never really know. This buds for you and your Failing at whatever you wanted to "really" do.

Crunshii

gotta admit... Heshe had spunk...

cjpkiller

didnt turok 2 come out already?
this bitch don't know what she talking about.

Dan CiTi

Meh. That's good for her.

Surf314

I, however, am still around.

Shin Oni

who cares. I never listened to that surfer girl crap as stated, it was obvious "info" as anyone with sense could do her job.

Awesome, I just described half of america.

Cowzilla3

I'll pour one out for her. No wait thats a whole beer wasted. I'll pour a sip out for her.

Clockwork

Surfer Girl is Jim Sterling.

kawitchate

Oh Surfer Girl, how you make my heart meter skip a beat. If you were being held captive in a mountain fortress by a ruthless mutant mafia gangboss and I had to fight my way through 16 levels of fire-breathing undead ninjas with swords the size of small ponies, I would find a way, even if, after every level, a small man continued to taunt me by saying that you were in another castle. EVEN IF.

Brilliam

political and social change via game industry secrets? WTF???

Audio Video

I read through her archives once. Vaguely interesting but pretty dry in terms of content. Most of it seemed like half-obvious announcements of sequels to extremely popular games. I think I liked her writing style, though.

Audio Video

@Brilliam: Her blog was peppered with the odd political or current event posting. I pretty much ignored those.

Wedge

Turok 2 is fucking awesome. That's all.

Aaron Mxy Yost

She's right, Boom Blox is pretty rad. I've been playing it for about three hours straight now.

BluDesign

Meh. So what?

Vague comments about upcoming game announcements are nothing new, and neither was she. She was merely the vessel of today, something else will come along tomorrow.

Def JM

Theres an Onimusha 4? Did I miss something?

Wedge

Onimusha Dawn of Dreams is ostensibly Onimusha 4.

atheistium

1) that picture has one seriously over photoshopped ass.
2) lol surfer girl. Shame, it was funny what she wrote.

Bob Muir

I heard her new job will be 2D/3D/celshaded.

Sharpless

A shame. I liked reading her blog. Funny thing is, I saw that post this morning, and I completely missed the part about it being her last, if that's what she meant. I pretty much just skim it for hawtt tipz.

Demios

Surfer Girl quits and Bioshock movie is announced...Hmm...

Therefore Surfer Girl is Fontaine! Egad MAN!

razerangel

We wont miss her, if she was even a she.

mistic

epic banner Y0j1mb0! seriously sweet!

on topic: I won't miss her that mutch, most of her revelations were indeed like "meh, I could guess that too"

Justice

Asta la vista baby!

Takeshi

Sayonara Surfer Girl, You won�t be missed.

Hollie Bennett

well it was funny while it lasted, though i was really looking forward to call of duty 5. oh well, stright to 6 i guess.

TrailerParkJesus

NBA Street 5 is coming?!!

Well then so am I!

neist

Good riddance, I say. Good riddance.

Qraze

she made some good calls in the past. she ain't going anywhere.
