Here's the thread for all those interested:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=318653

It's already been locked and archived. If I had noticed Denis Dyack had started the thread back when it was still opened, I probably would've clicked on it.

I was reading through it a bit yesterday. Basically, Too Human was getting shit on in just about every thread made about it on gaf, so Denis made this thread asking for all those who think the game will be good to post saying "for" and all those who think it will probably turn out bad to post "against".

He also made a bet, saying that if the game turns out to be mediocre he would get a tag that said, "Owned by gaf," and if the game turned out great, all those that put "against" would get a tag that read, "Owned by Too Human."

The only problem with this bet was that there were no negative repercussions for those posting "for", which led to a lot of people posting "for" for stupid reasons, saying stuff like, "This thread is great! Denis has balls of steel! For!"

The thread started out with a a majority of people posting "for" with a few people questioning the existence of the thread here and there. After awhile, a lot of the more negative guys start showing up, and it ended up being a big fight between them and DD.

As far as what DD defines to be mediocre, he basically said that he thinks Too Human is SK's best game yet, and that it will be better than most holiday releases this year, so you can see where he stands with that. Of course, he later backpedaled and made comparisons to Lair and Haze.

So short story, he sucks at forum bets and wants to destroy all forums to compensate for his failure? =P

best game yet? Ehhhh I don't know. Eternal Darkness ruled.

One of the very few reasons the Cube wasn't  a waste to me.

Ironically, this is also attacking the hand that feeds him - by pissing off the "hardcore" that should be buying his game...

I think TooHuman might flop - MS is going to have to advertise its butt off.

MS need to put a leash on Dyack or their investment is going to bomb.

It's true that NeoGAF is a complete mess though. I went there a couple of times, but it's almost impossible to understand what the hell those people are saying most of the time.

It's a gigantic troll fest, I wouldn't want to be a moderator there...

And there goes any shred of hope that Too Human's sales wouldn't disappoint.

Good Job DD, you just shot yourself in the foot.
