So, Goatboy was Halo Fan then ? Okay, but there are numerous posts on these very forums which suggest otherwise, and which I beg to point out are so completely out of character for Goatboy, even in trickster mode.

Made in the Nintendo Forum, to quote;
"Skies Of Arcadia

Memory Card 251
Resident Evil 2 + 3
Return To Castle Wolfenstein for Xbox
Scour Ebay for a near mint boxed + instructions Super Empire Strikes Back for the SNES. Do the same for Mario Kart 64 when I have the cash as well.
And I absolutely must play Animal Crossing more, have had my town about two months and played it about 6 hours. Why does that Joan person only appear Sunday mornings ? It's toooooo early....."
Those are pretty specific things too want ? And Goatboy knowing anything about Animal Crossing, being a PC Nut who constantly calls consoles toys ? See any PC games on that list ?

Halo Fan and Whitestripes argue over Nintendo and Microsoft, in detail, Halo Fan hits back with a brief history of Nintendo that is pretty much spot on;
"
Kind of right. Started in 1889 as one man making traditional Japanese cards which could be used in a game similar to the popular Dutch and Portugese card games of that time. Demand for the cards was so great that soon Yamamuchi (sorry if this is spelt wrong, as it's from memory) had to employ more people to make the cards with him. Yamamuchi realised that to increase Nintendo's hold on the market he should open special Nintendo outlets to sell the cards and mats from, and they would only sell Nintendo goods. As time passed the kinds of cards that were popular changed and Nintendo sold the first plastic coated cards in Japan in 1953, and did a deal with Disney to sell cards with characters images on in 1959. Yamamuchi wanted to expand, and Nintendo launched it's next product - instant rice. It failed. Next, Nintendo experimented with a chain of love hotels - hotels where rooms could be rented by the hour - and it failed, and it was widely speculated that the married Yamamuchi was probably the best customer of them... Next came a taxi company, which was success but the constant demands by the drivers forced Yamamuchi to pack that in also. Relocating the company to new premises he decided that Nintendo was strongest in the entertainment business, where it could control distribution and, with the right product, dominate the Japanese market whilst forcing out competition. In 1969 the Games division of Nintendo was created, composed of numerous teams whom Yamamuchi played off against each other, threatening them with the sack if they did not do better than another team. The first successful product of this was a light gun style game. Then came Game And Watch, but the success was tempered by the fact that it was easily pirated by bootleggers. Yamamuchi decided that any future product must be more easily controlled, which meant keeping a stranglehold on the production of it. Eventually the NES was born, and sold well thanks to Donkey Kong and a tubby plumber....but then a fault emerged in the NES which forced a mass recall of all units and replacements, Nintendo lost millions but perservered. Maybe this had something to do with chips. To make the NES and the game cartridges Nintendo had to agree to buy a massive quantity of the chips needed for them, and when the system became a success Nintendo had all the chips. Eventually other developers made games but Nintendo charged heavy fees and insisted on "controlling" them, and making the cartridges for them, which incidentally meant more money to Nintendo.
And that's just the early, brief, shortened history. Later on there is how Nintendo broke into the American market and used it's traditional tactics to try and force it's main retail supporters to boycott the competition, how it tried to price out Sega and Atari....and much more.
As I said, Bill would be proud."
From Goatboy ? Oookayy, I think not.

A great first post that I noticed on the Xbox forum, Halo 2 in game footage, hard to find at the time and the kind of thing I suggest only a real gaming nut could find, i.e. not him.
Again, to quote,
"Apologies to everyone if someone already did this earlier in the week, but I found these links on Ebay that are to actual in game footage of Halo 2 from E3, the stuff you have to pay for on Gamespot Complete.

A diatribe about patching and Xbox Live.
If the objective was to test forum users reactions then why post outside of Life, and why does Goatboy not engage himself in argument in these other topics, despite ample opportunity ?
Do any of you really believe he gives a fig about Halo 2, or Xbox Live ?
Either he's a secretive person, or ....?
And more to the point why target my old user name, Belldandy, as doing something which by his own admittance I did not do ? I tried to defend what I saw as a legitimate new user and got nothing but abuse back, but I was not the only one to defend Halo Fan.
As a Notable, using his trust and supposed reputation, in that way, stinks something rotten.
I've disagreed with him in the past as Belldandy, but is that cause for harrassment and false accusation ? I think not.
Remember, if he can do it once, he can do it again, and because he is a notable he can do anything he wants on here, to any of you. So I'd just keep agreeing with him if I were you.
One particular notable is nothing special at all.
