UPS AND DOWNS

So today was a day of ups and downs, mostly ups, but one pretty major down. Sleeping in late was definitely an up, as was getting all the stuff sorted out between me, Rob and the site. It's amazing, the clarity that 8 uniterrupted hours of sleep can give you. My head still hurts today from the blackout I had yesterday, but at least it's just a dull, nagging pain and not the jackhammer in my skull that I was feeling before.

Fldude2k1 got his disc in the mail today, and he was able to take a lot of the pressure off me that I was feeling, which was great (thanks, bro!) Seems like he's been playing it all day, and he says so far, no blackouts have happened to him, just a little dizziness. I don't know if that means the bugs have been fixed, or if he's just one of the lucky ones who's not affected by the game. Hopefully I'll find out more as the other discs go out.

The one major bummer today was Beta-13. I've been getting really worried about him, since he hasn't posted on our board since yesterday morning. We've been mostly communicating that way for while now, since the heat is on him, and I've been avoiding calling him on the phone. Late this afternoon though, I broke down and called his cell, and it said his number is no longer in service, which REALLY freaked me out. WHERE ARE YOU, BETA-13? Me and Beta-5 are really worried about you!

This has been a crazy week, and I'm hoping the weekend will see some good news. We're starting to get some attention to our cause, which is good, but I just can't stop thinking about B13, where he is right now, what he must be going through. I'm going to try to relax as much as I can, since worrying about B13 when there's nothing I can do about it doesn't really do either of us much good, but still, it's hard. If I've got anything to report, I'll keep you all posted.

If you wan't to prove yourself beta-7 then show us some videos of franchise mode. Hmmm....Another coinincedence that just today Sega/VC announced crib mode, the same day you put the videos up. You obviously work for them. If you wanna prove yourself then put up some franchise vids. I know you can't because you are under contract with them and you signed NDA's. You have to have Sega's permission to put any stuff up. Prove yourself right now and put any videos or info you know about this game that sega would be trying to hide. Otherwise your just a fake. Sega would of reported stolen disks and they if you aren't associated with sega they would of found you out by now and sued you for piracy. Just spill the beans.

If you believe me and want to help me out, great, but if you don't, I really don't give a shit and I don't have the time or energy to waste "proving" myself to every jagoff who calls me out. As I said in my post earlier today, i'm through taking "requests." If you want to see vids of franchise mode or any of that other bullshit, why don't you bug fldude2k1 since he has a copy now too.

Seems you kinda dodge my question there beta-7. Ok, then don't post movies anymore. I know what your up to. You set up movies to bring attention here and to promote this product and now you're gonna stop. No one is gonna come here anymore. Do you think this site got attention because of the blackouts, HELL NO. Because of the movies, but it seems sega releases the info just the same time you put up the movies. Beta-7 you can't pull the wool over my eyes. No one cares about these figment of your imagination blackouts. And where in hell did u get surveillence tapes from??? Unless you got them from sega.

Posted by: at July 11, 2003 10:28 PM


For Your Information, Sega didn't even release any info on the "Crib" mode you moron. If they did, give me the link of your proof.

Why would Sega give someone a free beta disc?

I believe you beta, if I'm the only person around here that does, then I don't really care. Good luck with B13.

Posted by: Stevo at July 11, 2003 10:37 PM


stevo go to football-gaming.com and go under the newest football friday and then go to audio of chris beramn. He clearly states that sega has a crib mode and just today beta posted the crib vids. fldude2k1 IS beat-7. There the same exact people. If fldude2k1 gets a black out that is a whole bunch of shit.

Posted by: at July 11, 2003 10:45 PM


fldude2k1 is beta-7's 17 personality (he has 24 in all).

Posted by: at July 11, 2003 10:46 PM


I don't know what to believe.

Posted by: at July 11, 2003 10:47 PM


how can you say fldude is beta-7?!?! do you know any of them personally? i didnt think so. i believe you b7 and hope you recover. your also giving out beta discs so how can i not believe you.

Posted by: laxman490 at July 11, 2003 10:58 PM


He's only "giving" out one. This is a conspiracy and he has all of you sucked in.

Posted by: at July 11, 2003 11:00 PM


If it's honestly making "Beta-7" sick, why would he still be playing the fucking thing?

If it's honestly making "Beta-7" sick, why would he be making and distributing extra discs?

If "Beta-7"'s story was true, he'd be the stupidest, most irresponsible fucknut I've heard of. I'd tell him to take the money he spent on this website (domain registration, hosting, and the copyrights <--), stop wasting his time playing video games and go see a lawyer.

As it is, was mildly interesting to guess which posts are on the payroll and which ones came from people who didn't know any better. For a couple of minutes. But, I'm in marketing. ;)

Posted by: Gamma-9 at July 11, 2003 11:37 PM


If you hate Sega so fucking much now, why you posting clips and talking about their game?

Posted by: at July 11, 2003 11:41 PM


OMG! I work with fldude2k1 and he is a beta tester at VC. Can fldude2k1 be beta-7? I'll have to ask him tomorrow.

Posted by: OMG at July 12, 2003 01:33 AM


Ahhh I love this. All these people duped like this, it's genius. Although I'm a Maddenite through and through, I gotta tip my hat to sega for this great marketing ploy.

Posted by: CJN at July 12, 2003 02:51 AM


Yo, beta 7! What is up... I am just wondering if you realize that you are indeed promoting ESPN NFL football? In case you didn't know, you are helping us 2ker fans out. I come here THREE times a day to get info on the game. Sega is being so hush hush, and you my friend are spilling the beans!

I think it is kind of funny how you act in your videos, great fun! They still have me laughing my ass off. Just curious on why you slam into things though. And why you don't just see a doctor if you are really sick, you know if you want to talk to me on what may be triggering them I am free to help(my sister is a doctor bro).

My email is xxmarkymacxx@yahoo.com. So anytime you need to talk I am pretty much on all day. If you don't I don't really mind either way. Like I said ONLY if you want to. gl later

Posted by: MacMark at July 12, 2003 02:58 AM


Of course he REALIZES he's promoting SEGA, that's what this whole site is for, that's what he's SUPPOSED to do! To his character, he's not trying to be funny in those videos, he's saying SEGA causes those fits, that what this is all about, can't you read?

P.S. "I'm on all day" ?!?!? Get a life, dude.

Posted by: CJN at July 12, 2003 03:02 AM


I dont believe him. I emailed him, and asked him if I could come over and play his game (im 2 hours away from orlando). Never got a reply. righhhht.


Also, if he's as poor as he says he is, how in the world is he able to afford the bandwidth costs for this site?

Posted by: Chris at July 12, 2003 05:38 AM


This is some pretty lame shit. Keep it up, BETA-7. :D

Posted by: j00r m4mm4 at July 12, 2003 06:26 AM


LMAO!! U think im beta-7? Now thats a hilarious thought... the thing is... I just found out about this place a week ago and mostly been posting at NFL2kx. They know me and they know im not beta-7.... That was a hilarious thought tho.

Posted by: fldude2k1 at July 12, 2003 10:47 AM


hey fldude2k1, shut your piehole. Everyone knows you are beta or else your one of his many personalities. If the games give blackouts, here's a thought, STOP PLAYING IT. That only makes sense. Good work Sega/VC on this marketing campaign!!!!!! You actually fooled some people. Hey beta-7 good job on the site though, hilarious yet informative!!!1

Posted by: at July 12, 2003 10:58 AM


Hey beta-7. What is your favorite football team??? Just wondering.

Posted by: blah at July 12, 2003 11:40 AM

SAINTS WILL WIN THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!!

Posted by: shist86 at July 12, 2003 12:59 PM


I never said I got blackouts lmao...

Posted by: fldude2k1 at July 12, 2003 01:30 PM


if this is sooo real, why does your rollover in the Bedtime comments area read beat-7@sega.com? then again, this post probably wont make it to the site and the rollover will be changed.

Posted by: luv4madden at July 12, 2003 02:44 PM


I'm beginning to enjoy the taste of Sega CEO penis. I always have that taste in my mouth when I wake up from blacking out. A funny thing, really.

Posted by: beta-7 at July 12, 2003 02:46 PM


fldude2k1 you are beta-7. You and "beta-7" both live in orlando so he decide to give himself the beta disk. This was a great site until beta-7 stopped giving vids. Hey beta-7 since your not giving anymore espn nfl football movies please give us some more jackass videos of you tackling someone!!!!

Posted by: ya mama foo at July 12, 2003 02:46 PM


Actually I live more in Winter Springs than in Orlando, im on the outer skirts of Orlando, not in the city.

Posted by: fldude2k1 at July 12, 2003 02:49 PM


more example tackle videos please.

Posted by: CockSmokey at July 12, 2003 02:51 PM


Did anyone ever see those Terry Tate: Office Linebacker commercials? That surveillance video of the mail boy getting tackled is a straight up ripoff of Terry's excellent technique. Jesus, can't you corporate scum come up with something that hasn't been done at least once?
Also, Medical Definition: A "blackout," temporary loss of memory, is not to be confused with "passing out," or loss of consciousness. The drinker suffering from a blackout cannot remember things they said, things they did, places they visited while carousing the night before - or for longer periods. Even a social drinker can have a blackout. With prospective alcoholics, the blackouts are more frequent and develop into a pattern.

Posted by: omg at July 12, 2003 03:07 PM


Those Terry Tate videos have nothing to do with this -- don't waste your time registering to watch like I did -- just a bunch of slick commercials. OMG has a hard-on for Terry Tate that's all!

Posted by: gfys at July 12, 2003 03:35 PM


That's funny. gfys has the same typing style as.. *gasp* beta-7! Do you notice how gfys uses double hyphens in his typing: --? Go to beta-7's blog page, press ctrl+f to do a word search on his page, and type in --. As you will see, he uses it on occasion. Most people just use a single hyphen. How many people do you know type with a double hyphen? I caught you, beta-7. Bow down, bitch. :D

Posted by: omg at July 12, 2003 03:41 PM


omg you are right. This makes me feel like a handwriting identifer. We caught you gfys.

Posted by: ajgfitejwficnvsangkljsag at July 12, 2003 03:50 PM


Elementary, my dear ajgfitejwficnvsangkljsag.

Posted by: omg at July 12, 2003 03:54 PM


Did you idiots ever pay attention in English class? Look up the difference between a hyphen and a dash. I wouldn't call proper punctuation a writing style. [Throws down some straws] Go on and grasp some more.

Posted by: HA! at July 12, 2003 05:41 PM


o and sega sux so please everyone download it on kazaa when it comes out ill be sharing it!! kthnxbye

Posted by: HA! at July 12, 2003 06:03 PM


You know what I find interesting? Beta-7.com was registered through DomainsByProxy.com, an anonymous domain registrar. Why would Beta-7 register this domain anonymously? On top of that, why would he only register it for 1 year?
"We need all the support we can get to take down this Goliath. Together, we WILL win this fight!"
For 1 year, Beta-7? Is that how long you plan to be around for? The domain will expire on 18-Jun-04.

Posted by: omg at July 12, 2003 06:20 PM


Hey, how can this KID fldude be a beta tester for VC when he's only 14 year old? Vinh, how does a kid get such a job? I want in!

Posted by: canada at July 12, 2003 07:15 PM


omg you are a dumb turd, you know that? Ever stop to think maybe Beta-7 doesn't want SEGA to find out who he is and THAT'S why he registered the domain anonymously?

And so what he registered for a year because he can renew it at the end.

You are reaching, omg.

Posted by: omg killah at July 12, 2003 07:46 PM


Oh, but you are wrong. It's not like sega knows who the hell beta-7 is. They gave him the alias in the first please. You must be the "dumb turd" here. They know beta-7's real name. They invited him to BETA TEST A FUCKING GAME. They don't do that shit anonymously. Thank you come again.

Posted by: omg at July 12, 2003 08:14 PM


Pardon the typos. It's hard to type and talk the on phone at the same time. Replace please with place.

Posted by: omg at July 12, 2003 08:17 PM


You losers who actually think this is for real are so fucking sad. God damn you are stupid.

Posted by: CJN at July 12, 2003 08:36 PM


I AM THE KING OF ALL BETA'S. HEY BETA WHY DON'T YOU PUT THE BETA DISKS OVER KAZAA SO WE CAN ALL DOWNLOAD THEM. THAT IS IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO
"SCREW" SEGA. JUST A THOUGHT. OH YEAH YOU CAN'T BECAUSE YOU WORK FOR SEGA, MY BAD!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA BETA SEVEN WILL BURN IN BETA TESTING HELL!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Wow this merketing gig sort of backfired a bit for you, eh Sega?

Posted by: omg at July 12, 2003 08:53 PM


omg strikes again with another retarded comment. If you bothered to actually READ what you are criticizing then you would KNOW that sega doesn't have his name anymore.

Try reading the blog before you post more stupidity, omg. I know there aren't a whole lot of pretty pictures or fuzzy bunnies to pat but dear gawd please read it so you don't keep making an ass out of yourself.

Posted by: omg killah at July 12, 2003 09:01 PM


Riiiight... Sega magically erased all of their records and gave everyone a magical pill made by small wood gnomes that would make everyone forget. If an incident as serious as a blackout had _actually_ accured during beta testing of a game, there would be records. To think differently is just moronic.

Posted by: omg at July 12, 2003 09:06 PM


Read the blog, jagoff.

Posted by: omg killah at July 12, 2003 09:12 PM


So naive. Don't worry, you'll begin to look at things objectively some day. Just remember: Don't believe everything you read on the internet. :)

Posted by: omg at July 12, 2003 09:15 PM


I never said I BELIEVE that this is real, only that your pathetic theories don't prove diddly squat.

Posted by: omg killah at July 12, 2003 09:19 PM


I being a beta tester, this is a bunch of BS. Look at the one movie where he claims he was beta testing and then tackles that guy in the chair. That looks like his garage!!! That is not how beta tester's atmosphere is. There is plenty more. As a beta tester you have to sign these things called a NDA (non disclosural agreement). Or in other words, if you say anything your ass is liable in court. Not to mention the piracy on this site!!!! It's all good tho because VC/Sega is promoting this.

Oh, but they do... ;)

Posted by: omg at July 12, 2003 09:24 PM


--Wow this merketing gig sort of backfired a bit ---for you, eh Sega?

It's working exactly as planned and you're as much a particpant as those who believe all this is real. Keep up the fight. :)

Hey, I hate football. I don't own any consoles either. PC all the way baby! :)
I just don't like how all this is being done.

Posted by: omg at July 12, 2003 09:34 PM


OMG still here? Can't get enough of this 'fake' B.S.?? Hmm, you seem very attached to this 'fake' website you hate sooo much. If it's really a big fraud THEN GO AWAY and NEVER COME BACK! You must really like it so much -- love the attention bro, huh?

Posted by: gfys at July 13, 2003 08:46 AM


You're all faggots!!! Fuck'in Faggots!!!

Posted by: FUCKYALL at July 13, 2003 11:16 AM


gfys AKA omg killah AKA beta-7: I love this site. It keeps me entertained and the fact that it's all so obviously fake makes it funny. I love how some of the people on this site are just pulled in to it all. It's also a bit sad, really...

Posted by: omg at July 13, 2003 03:04 PM


Yes, it is entertaining. Unfortunately some of these people are just so fucking stupid, "Good luck in your fight b7" and all that shit, that it just makes you want to find them and bitch slap them for being so fucking stupid.

Posted by: CJN at July 13, 2003 10:33 PM


CJN = omg = Beta-7 ?

Posted by: Scooter at July 14, 2003 10:34 AM


So, according to doubters and cynics, this all comes down to a "No News Is Good News" or "There's No Such Thing As Bad Publicity" ploy by Sega, right? ~*UGH*~ Well, I doubt the likelihood of that being the case. There are plenty of people that believe football as a sport is "too violent" already. Similarly, there are too many who feel that videogames "contribute to violent tendencies among our youth" as well... As such, it would be STUPID for Sega and Visual Concepts to introduce even a covert marketing ploy that supports such wildly inaccurate claims.

"They played too much DOOM!" was the outcry when those kids shot up Columbine High School. When I asked folks to quantify "too much", none of them could. There are people who played DOOM just as much or more than those idiots who have never shot anyone and never will. It's not the game, it's the person.

If this is a hoax, that sucks. If this is real, that sucks. Someone needs to find out for certain, one way or the other.

Posted by: Akai Rounin at July 14, 2003 04:16 PM


HA! Scooter thinks im this omg guy and B7? HAHAHA! I'm actually kinda honored, but I'm just a 16 year old genius (literally) in Norcross, GA. But I am honored you would consider me part of this hoax, even though you logic doesn't make much sense.

Akai Rounin - True, it would seem like a stupid idea for this to boost sales, but look at this. This site is swarming with people, believers (the idiots) and me and some other people (the smart and logical ones), but while the fake problem brought up by this site would not be good for SEGA, this site is. You can tell by all the people that post that this will boost sales of the game, no question there, and that is exactly what their goal is. Unfortunately for SEGA, Madden will once again anihilate their game in sales, like they do every year. That my friends, will never change, and IMHO, for good reason.

Posted by: CJN at July 15, 2003 01:36 AM


You are not 16 years old, you are not from Norcross, GA, and you are most definitely not a genius. You are obviously, however, an employee from sega or vc trying to cover up your evil product.

Otherwise you would not waste so much time here.

Posted by: supafast at July 15, 2003 12:11 PM


Sega better clarify this is a hoax soon because some dumbasses actually believe it and will boycott this product, which could be fatal for sega. Some people are just TOO stupid. HAHAHAHA
