Nah, I wouldn't shun it..
To pull of such a believable hoax and even get it posted on a Gaming Site (don't they do their own research?) is pretty cool.

"Wish I could write bs like that."
lol, I guess that could be taken as a compliment...
Now for some tidbits about the making of the article: there is no such thing as Entertainment Investor's Journal, which is easy to confirm. I set the date of the "meeting" as July 15, which I chose simply because it's my birthday and was fairly recent at the time. The BRD does exist, and matches my description of it. I added the relatively low framerate of the FF render and the glitches in the Tekken demo to add believability. I had originally planned to have the L2 and R2 buttons of the "Triple Shock" be triggers a la the DC and XBox controllers, but somehow that idea fell through the cracks.
Edit: Holy shit, I just checked on Google, and this thing's been translated into
German. Damn, I went too far...
