Fake GPL 2 announcement prank

Andrew Turner posted a fake 'GPL 2 Announced' subject as a Friday joke, drawing mock outrage and insults from those he had fooled. Along the way posters confirmed that Dave Matson had left Papyrus after Charlie Heath, and one doubted a GPL sequel would ever happen.

I'm sorry, you have been black-flagged. Please Pit for one lap. This is a silly string, and your comment does not meet the standard level of silliness required in the All-World Directory of Racing Competition Ridiculosity Standards, Chapter 4 (General Goof), section 2, paragraph 14, section 4, subsection 6, sub-sub-section 1.1.2, sub-sub-sub section TK14087, Rules Regarding Use and Implementation of Silly Replies on Fridays (aka "Smart-Ass Friday). While you are pitting, please eat four dry baked potatoes very quickly.

"CFHohsfield" <[email hidden]> wrote > Oh Cool, Will it use the GPL physics engine...... No, the old one ! You see, the Sierra suits there obviously made the conclusion that new game engine = poor sales. They then decided to give green light at Papyrus to do a title called "Grand Prix Legends - Episode II : The Lotus Strikes Back". It will model the year 1978. It will feature the good old DOS mode, Rendition-only 3d acceleration, oh and Aureal A3D sound technology. POGO.com will recreate their old TEN (Total Entertainment Network) division for this title, offering near-LAN racing quality with statistics and 1 free arena so everybody can wreck. Finally, in a non-surprising decision by those powers-that-be, it will feature the 10 years old game engine in it's full domination of the racing market. Flips? Who needs them! the old game engine recreates perfectly the sensation of canned wheel spins under 30mph. Suspension modeling? It's for the wuss! Just look at the amazingly fake AI model of Gilles Villeneuve in his rookie year! -- actually 78 would be a great year for GPL2 imho! -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.WeRace.net -- People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.
