Who is Falafelkid?

I promised proof of my identity and this is it. Here are three snapshots of me playing DS with Shigeru Miyamoto at the last E3, right after our interview.




And only to eradicate any further doubts that that person really is me, here´s a little video clip of myself that I uploaded to Rapidshare:

It may seem silly to go this far and provide this much evidence but it seemed necessary after some people I debunked started to question my identity.

pink shirt: 25$
letters to write on: 10$
see andreas garber in such a gay shirt: priceless

there are things, money can't buy.

for everything else...

Although it was unnecesary and sad that you had to provide proof to a couple doubters, it's a breath of fresh air that a "insider" blogger such as yourself isn't afraid to prove yourself, instead of hiding behind lies. This is one of the only blogs I follow for definite facts. You back up your stories and make it known when you post an opinion or speculation, unlike the majority. Keep up the good work.

Digging the top dude, my video stops halfway through tho. Must be the video player im using.

Anyway never doubted you in the first place, all good geez.

I don't think you need to prove your identity on a blog that posts nothing but facts and patents and possible rumors.

hey, falafelkid,

gibt es eine möglichkeit, diese interviews zu lesen, die du damals geführt hast?

Hallo Falafelkid,
Eine Frage!
Sag mal wie kommt es eigentlich daß du als Wohnort Köln angibst wo doch RTL 2 in München ist ?
Nichtsdestotrotz Respekt für die gute Arbeit und mach weiter so.
P.S:
Lass dich nicht immer von so dreisten drei-Käsehochs herausfordern und Stress dich vorallem nicht so krass rein zwecks Revolution news..
Wenn die Zeit reif ist werden wir alle schlauer sein ob nun heute oder morgen spielt jetzt auch keine grosse Rolle mehr.

Last but not least danke ich dir dafür dass du- wie ich -dazu beigetragen hast daß das N aus NES verschwindet.(:

"Who is Falafelkid, es geht los!"

Everyone who says that their words are true in all the Revolution Blogs out there should make such a video!!!

This video also tells us, that the people at RTL2 know about your Blog and your Nintendo-related work. We can hear the people work in the background and see a Nintendo DS on the Desk.

Question: Why are there so many Consoles at your job environment? Do you play all day at RTL2???

Hey Andreas, dieses Jahr findet zum fünften mal die NCON statt: www.nfans.de im Forum ganz unten.
Komm uns doch dieses Jahr Besuchen!

Keep up the good work!

Now that I see who you are I now believe your claims of the Revolution-development blog being fake.
WHY?
Because your old so old I can a reciding hairline back thier. And you look like Kevin of off Attack Of The Show .... If you had more hair. =]

Anonymous said...

I've got to back up an earlier anonymous. It's relieving to see someone who's not afraid to prove they're not full of themselves, and is just trying to get proper speculation out there. Keep it up--this is one of the very limited trustworthy sources of Revolution stuff.

By the way, excellent to play with Miyamoto. I'm jealous.

NO END SOON ORIGIN.

Falafelkid said...

Excellent find, anonym. The last scene is the one used in the alleged video (build 1) that was shown. However, I´m not sure if Inc and Rebus released it or whether it´s a case of fakers pretending to be other fakers...? Anyone know who first linked to that video of NES?

Oh, and please forgive Product_Number_18 for his first post. He´s still wrestling with his own sexuality (the number in his nick isn´t his age yet) and that causes youngsters to project their own insecurities to people around them. A perfectly normal process that will stop once he comes out ;)

Anonymous said...

I thought you said you were Japanese...

And why all of a sudden chuck up these photos? Seems like you're pretending to be someone else.

Falafelkid said...

Hi Anonym. Yup, you got me. I am actually Japanese and wear clever make-up in that video. My real name is Osoko Tana... *grabs Anonym by the neck and throws him out*

Blizz419 said...

lol

Falafelkid said...

Well, just don´t ask Product_Number_18 about HIS blob. He´s a bit shy and also likes to tease.

And, seriously, where was that screenshot from No End Soon originally posted? I cannot find it on Inc´s blog. If they linked to it however, Anonym just posted proof that they are fake. (Not that we´d need proof, though)

You have the absolute best blog/site for Revo info and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU!! Keep up the good work! :)

Falafelkid said...

Concerning the anonymous poster linking to this site, where you find a CG movie featuring (in the very end) that city scene from the ´No End Soon´ screenshot and clip.

That movie is made by Yann Couderc and Xavier Henry who work for Cube Creative Computer Company, an animation studio which seems to be dealing in high polygon, i.e. pre-rendered stuff only.

The movie is called ´Peril on Akryls´ and is based on an earlier version simply called Akryls. The remake is part of a sci-fi ride in this French theme park. You may find an interview with Yann here.

Now, can someone please remember where that screenshot and video first appeared and who originally linked to it? Did it come from Inc and Rebus?

I guess I'm feeling a bit slow today, but can someone explain how http://www.cube-creative.fr/site/html/3dtp/biobugs.html is proof that Mr.Inc and Rebus are fakes according to that?... I just guess I'm missing something...

For those of you who cannot view Falafelkid's video, you will need to download and install the DivX video codec. It is free and quick to install.

Falafelkid said...

Obviously fake. Simply not good enough for a next-gen console menu.

Falafelkid said...

There is someone posting under my name (and seemingly with my login data) here. If anyone has any theory on how that is possible without them actually having my passwords, please tell me. In the meantime, I will not post here anymore until I can eradicate the problem.

Anonymous said...

falafelkid, I don't know if this is possible with blogspot but on some forums I have seen people use ¡ ( which is the inverted "!", keystroke:Alt+0161 ) instead of i.

so somebody might have registered with the name falafelk¡d instead of falafelkid. They look the same with some types of font but if you copy and paste in notepad you will see the difference.

Umm nothing wrong with pink, its been 'in' for ages, and NO not in with the gay men. All men.

I have two pink tops, so what? His a media man, what he looks like etc is irrelevant, unless ure a keen lady.

Anyway keep up the good work.

Obinna, allow me to correct the following pathetic display of what you claim to be "English":

To the guy above learn how to some english cause you can't write for shit.

To Thunder emperor (stupid name) Who are you and do now who I'am because I ain't tell nobody I was nigerian buddy. Oh and learn how to spell cause its Obinna not Obina


This should be written as...

To the guy above: Learn some English because you can't write for s***.

To Thunder Emperor (Stupid name): Who are you? Do you know who I am? [Sorry, this section is completely indecipherable] Oh, and learn how to spell because it's Obinna, not "Obina".

See the difference? *eye roll*

A person/developer close to Retro Studios has told Matt not to worry about the Revolution's graphics, the game that they are making (Metroid Prime 3?) will look "Fabulous and Gorgeous and you are going to love it"

It is about 22 minutes into the ign revolution podcast.

Hi everyone. Special thanks to Grandmaster B. Indeed, a pink shirt on a man says nothing about his sexuality. Saying that is just a little bit prejudiced, people.

Anyway, about the two fake Falafelkid comments yesterday (which I deleted immediately), they must have been done using my account. In the email notification it clearly reads the same name (good suggestion with the similar characters though) and clicking on it referred to my blogger profile (at least to one which listed this blog). I must say I was very worried about this. I changed the password a number of times and no more comments have been posted. There are only two other people who knew the original password, my girlfriend and a colleague. I´ll have to have a word with that colleague perhaps. He´s got a weird sense of humour at times.

well, fact is that falafel has as much humor as a financial adviser (and that's almost nothing).

also in fact i have never said he's gay. he isn't (at least i hope so :P). i just meant the shirt is a little bit... feminine.

according to falafel's post, i'm just another "unoriented" kid. i'm gay for sure.







just kidding ;)

It doesn't matter if he is gay, because his blog is the best of the best.

Hi everyone. I´m just testing whether I can post as Falafelkid, not using my blogger login, but as a guest leaving my blogger profile´s URL as a website. That would be how I imagine that person did it.

Anonymous said...

It works. I am just curious that Blogger allows for guest logins to have the same name as the blog´s owner. I´m afraid we will have to take precautions for fakers like that. At least I will delete those comments wherever I see them.

Falafelkid said...

This is me using my standard login again. It seems that the guest login is reduced to small caps at all times, while my proper blogger login starts with a capital letter. Let´s hope this can be the distinguishing factor.

Falafelkid said...

Okay, finally I sussed it out. It´s not capitals or small caps. It´s the photo. Whenever you see someone posting with my name but without the photo from now on, it´s not me.

By the way, light shedder. I never answered your question about RTL II being located in Munich. The main station is, but its newsroom is located in Cologne, alongside all the big RTL newsrooms. We use all their infrastructure and all. Sorry if I answered your question a little late. And please stop spamming too.

Anonymous said...

Umm... guys, you do realize that Falafelkid never said he was gay, don't you? That was the imposter posting under his name. You'll note that the post is gone...

Falafelkid's sexual orientation and anybody else's is nobody's business but their own, unless they want it to be (and even then I don't think that you should be defining yourself that way). For all you know he could be asexual (If you don't know, that means that you have no sexual attraction either way).

Give it a rest. Seeing pink shirts on guys is a pretty common thing these days, and it has nothing to do with sexuality.
