Oh, I know. I found that out early on. Plus the fact that they hyped this apparent knowledge about Stop N Swop, which turned out to be a glorified version of what we already knew. Their Rare tour feature was complete crap.

Speaking of which, does anyone else remember that so-called interview that showed up a few weeks before GR came out, or am I just completely ****ed up? It had something about "all will be revealed when a certain witch has her revenge," if that helps.

I remember that so at least if we're crazy we're crazy together. *twitches*

The interview disappeared... and no-one knows where to... *twitches*

think about this:

We have been to Rare HQ and so many people didn't want to believe it, so many people doubted us and called us Liars
yet.. we delivered the goods and photos to prove we were there.

Continue to doubt us, continue to be against R-E but at the end of the day you're the one missing out.
I'm just trying to run a good site but I guess at the end of the day you can't please everyone.
It doesn't concern me one bit really, I know what we have for Part 2 will be good when its released and we're grateful
to Rare for it.

As for the Grunty Revenge interview, that was a general interview about Rare's games, and yep its around, but we've had problems
with moving servers so I'll put it back in the specials section shortly.

Yup! we said that but that’s what we were told in the interview but I think given the comments from the "tour guide"
we interpreted what we were told in the interview to seriously perhaps? I think he was just stirring?

Where are the photos of you actually there?

From what I saw it was just the buildings, are there anymore?

Oh, didn't you see the scanned images, like the ones on this page?

You know, my only real problem with the tour was how poorly edited it was, despite the fact that it was delayed to make sure it was perfect. A lot of text was repeated, for instance:

Wondering what computers they have at Rare?
Interestingly, one Mac computer stands out like a sore thumb, amongst otherwise Windows XP-equiped PC’s.

Just next door however contained the biggest coup… or at least we though. Renowned official website editor, storyline developer, PR officer, Mr Pants creator and ARSE-spreader Leigh Loveday’s officer stood next door. Much to my disappointment, Leigh had slipped out on personal business for the morning and so his office was vacant. Taking the opportunity to grab me an official company brochure, my tour guide dashed off, and I was able to familiarise myself with Leigh’s humble surrounds. My itchy finger getting the better of me

After explaining a few rare employee roles, we went next door to visit the famous Mr Pants himself: Leigh Loveday. Unfortunately Leigh had slipped out for the morning so my tour guide took this opportunity to grab me my company brochure. Itchy fingers getting the better of me, I naughtily had a peek at Leigh’s PC.
There's more, but I can't be arsed to go through the tour looking for it. But it's as though Powerboy got an extreme case of amnesia.

No I meant pictures of the RE staff there, but since they didn't go, I guess they'll have to be photoshopped in?

The Rubber Chicken did a pretty accurate parody of the Tour Of Rare special. I smell a site war coming...

Hahah! Good old HappyBob It's a shame he's not on The Void anymore. Oh well.

I like how the supposed Rare-Extreme banner features "The World Is Not Enough". That made me laugh. Yep. Good old Rare-Extreme/RareOps' rivalry that will carry on to The Void, courtesy of myself.

I don't know why.

Hey Icy Guy and Gaming Master2K - I posted a link to the article you were referring to - it's on page 6 of this thread. The 2nd link is the article about BKGR - the one you mentioned.

The whole rareops/dkvine rivalry thing was hilarious.

Ops Charlie and co... where did you go?

There will be a "spoof" of our own in retaliation to this

Most of the original RareOps team work at The Void, myself included.

Charlie, Andrey, Nate and HappyBob have gone off to do other things though. Jeremy (Anyone remember TriskalGuilo? ), Heather, Alex, Dan and myself are still around.... but it's not like anyone here cares.
