The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
The Daily Mail is always under critisism from users of this site and many others in the gaming community. Many a time have they petitioned against a game due to it's 'unethical' content, games like the Grand Theft Auto series have been slated iin full spread articles that do nothing other than publicise the game more. It's never really affected us, because we all bought the game anyway.
But yesterday the Daily mail reported on 'an evolved breed of gaming related crime' that not only has proven that the Daily Mail reporters are actually cleverer than they look, but the entire sub-culture of 'cheese-sprees' is under threat.
Here is some history for those not in the know.
-
Back in the days of the Spectrum, a lesser known game called 'CheeseWars' was silently released with no magazine coverage. The game seemed like an innocent platformer until the player completed the game. The ending sequence contained subliminal messaging from an unknown source containing initial details of the first 'cheese-sprees' and information concering the global domination plans of the coder of the game. Many, many games of today are coded by programmers who have seen this original message, and through their own games have furthered the vision.
Cheese-sprees today are a globally organised syndicate. There are millions of gamers around the world and I know of at least another two gamers on this site that are involved. (Names restricted to protect their identities). Secret messages are passed to the gamers via ending credits in games to commit cheese related activity on the syndicates behalf.
-
A recent message in a game (name withheld) contained details for the next assault on the cheese community. Followers were ordered by the syndicate to enter their local Tesco, head to the cheese counter, climb into the cabinet, roll about a bit and leave. A superb tactical attack by the syndicate and generally an all round success.
However, members of a northern territory (place name withheld) carried armaments, with complete disregard for the laws of the syndicate. Two gamers entered their local Tesco and climbed into the cheese cabinet, and were accosted by security. Against the usual practice of going quietly and claiming insanity, the gamers produced long-handled soup serving ladles and proceeded to kosh the security.
This naturally brought the police into the equasion, and under severe questioning let on more than they should. A police leak to the press prompted a Daily Mail reporter to investigate the cheese-sprees to find a connection between them and gaming as they usually do, but they are getting very close to the true roots of the syndicate, and this must be stopped at all costs.
This is a message to the other members of the syndicate. I know I have blown a certain amount of cover but the situation is too severe to worry about that right now. All missions, including MKDA and DMC2 are off until further notice, until the syndicate have decided on a course of action. Please await further instructions in SMB2. To non members, please ignore this message.
