THEY'RE GONG TO DIG UP THE E.T. CARTRIDGES!!!!

Postby sixam1 » June 18th, 2013, 8:20 pm

Fuel Entertainment, a digital company in Los Angeles, acquired an exclusive permit to excavate the Alamogordo landfill over the coming six months.

I don't know what this company hopes to gain by doing this. I guess they just want to prove if the myth is true or not, and maybe gain some publicity.

I read about this a week or two ago and thought it was pretty entertaining. I guess they are looking for the publicity? I'm not too sure what they gain from doing this but it is still really interesting. Almost every gamer has heard about the notorious ET cartridges buried in a Mexican landfill, I'm curious to see what their digging finds.

The only people excited for the AVGN film are people under the age of 20.

The truth is, I read that the cartridges were actually crushed by a steamroller and were then buried by cement.

Dude, you're going to have to just quote directly and stop cutting and pasting names.  Half the time you do that it completely malforms your post and forces me to go in and spend several edits to fix it.  I'm not being rude here, but I think I'm just going to delete them from now on because it really is a pain.

At the very least, preview your posts before submitting them to make sure this doesn't happen.

The quote function does not work for me for some reason, so that's why i've been posting names.  I'll see if it'll work on a different browser.
