I'm leaning toward yes, but I don't really know what to believe.

Well he did say that the truth would be told in B3, so I guess we have to wait until then before we can be sure.

I don't, I just read the post and it doesn't seem to believable to me. He said that the N64 DD was a CD-Rom drive for the N64. If my understanding goes correctly, the DD used big plastic carts that were called Dynamic Discs. There are also many spelling mistakes. Wouldn't someone who worked for Rare at least bother to look for spelling mistakes in their writing?

Well,juging from how Rare operates..they probably want you to think it's not a Rare employee...like Goul Boy [or,whatever his name was]..

... I'd like to believe that, and his story does sound convincing, seeing that I have heard rumors that something Banjo-Kazooie related was going to be on the N64 DD, but it all just sounds made up to me.

I can't believe so many of you people are falling for this obvious ruse. First off, his spelling and grammar are to be expected from a grade schooler, not someone who could work at Rare. Second, Andre said his name was a James Bond villain... I'm not a big Bond fan, (Austin Powers is always better) but if he's right, then it's a ridiculous pseudonym. And besides, just because he said the answer will be in B3 doesn't mean its any more credible than if he had said otherwise. He's just giving us that because he lacks immediate proof. He's full of beans!

Wasn't there a CD inside that cartridge? I don't know too much about it though.

The guy comes from Canada. Rare comes from England. No chance that's real.

At least his story is plausible, whether he knows if it's the truth or not.

I don't believe anybody that gives explanations about SNS. Rare uses SNS as a tool, To sale more games, Their not going to tell us anything , till they milk it completely dry.

I just found and IGN article, it used magnetic storage on zip drives.

Here is the article in case anyone is interested. (I would like to note that it says the discs are hot-swappable in the specs chart, doesn't really have to do with much, just seemed interesting)

By reading from his posts no. Plus if what GM2k said is true then he lost his credibility. He's just trying to trick you.
