BETA-X STILL AT WORK?

Beta-13 emailed me a link to a San Francisco community board post somebody forwarded to him:

"NOTICE to videogamers

Date: 2003-08-01, 8:42AM

If you or anyone you know has volunteered in the last two months as a Beta Tester for ESPN NFL Football, please call 415.507.7777.

Your response will remain confidential.

it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests"

--The number is a hotline for visual concepts, with the following message:

"You have reached the customer service dept. of visual concepts, if you are a beta tester who has recently participated in a test of espn nfl football, just leave us your name and contact information and someone will get back to you as soon as possible. thank you for calling visual concepts."

Then somebody posted on the board earlier, claiming to be Beta-x.

This post from VC leads us to believe that beta-x is still working from the inside somewhere, still making beta tester contact info "mysteriously disappear", otherwise why would they need to put out a bulletin like this? Obviously they are desperate to get ahold of these beta testers, either to bribe or threaten them into silence. DON'T FALL FOR THEIR TRICKS! If you have beta tested this game, DON'T GIVE VC YOUR CONTACT INFO! Please contact me instead; if enough beta testers come forward with the truth and show they aren't afraid of Sega, then they will HAVE TO take responsibility for their actions!

I tried emailing beta-x at the addy he sent that one email from, beta-x@sega.com, but again, it came back as "no such mailbox, user unknown." Beta-X, if your'e still out there, please email me!

More lies, "Beta-7"

All you are doing with these nonsense lies is ruining it for us real beta testers out there.

Why don't you get your mommy to take you to see a shrink, since that is what you really need.

Holy shit! I just called the number and it is real. They can't track the fact I called, can they?

Posted by: MacaroniSurprise at August 6, 2003 02:25 PM


I don't know, i hope not, macaroni. did you beta test the game?

Posted by: beta-7 at August 6, 2003 02:39 PM


Of course he didn't beta test the game, "Beta-7," and neither did you, because if you did you would know that it is a football game, nothing more. It's a kick butt football game, but it is still just a game.

No blackouts, no serious side effects, except hours of your life spent playing a killer game!!!

Beta-7, you should really consider making some message boards for your site, such as message boards from proboards. And I would be happy to make them for you. Once I would be finished, I would hand the admin keys over to you. And I have excperiance making message boards, such as www.ultimategamerforums.com, dreamcastersrealm.com--dcreal.proboards18.com, and ultimateboards.proboards18.com. I also made anpther boards, which was very very good, but got deleted.... because of Sega. So I would be happy to make them for you. My email adress is WNwork@hotmail.com

So please contact me

Nice plug, chuck! Sega's PR department couldn't of written it better! Oh wait, they probably did!Glad to hear you didn't have any blackouts or serious side effects, but unfortunately i did.

And thanks for the offer leo, but i like the boards the way they are.

Posted by: beta-7 at August 6, 2003 05:34 PM


You could always have both :) I would make them, you would put a link for it in your site.

Posted by: Leo at August 6, 2003 05:42 PM


no thanks man. appreciate the offer though :)

My name is Beta-321. I beta-tested the 'Crash Cam Mode'. My penis is still throbbing from it.

Posted by: Beta-321 at August 6, 2003 06:35 PM

Posted by: beta4 at August 6, 2003 07:26 PM


I called that number and they told me to get an EKG. I did. Now Im sad. Very sad. Suicidal. Forget about it, rick.

Hi guys! Former Maddenite here! I came to this site because I thought it was a joke. Well, I never gave 2k3 a chance, and thanks to Beta I have! A new fan to Sega Sports right here; peace out!~

I guess this kills Sega's claim that they don't beta test games like this. I called it and left a message cussing them out. I hope the morons do trace it and call me back so I can cuss out a live person.

I hope they have weapons of mass destruction or atleast let us think they do and then we can bomb the FUCKING SHIT out of sega. YEAH! USA! USA!

Sega is totally like chinese ornamental or something anyway. USA! USA!

Well what a odd "coincidence", Gamerchuck.com and Beta-7.com (two supposedly average joes who argue with each other, one "against" SEGA and one "supporting" SEGA) are both registered through Godaddy.com and both just happened to use www.domainsbyproxy.com to prevent people from seeing their real names. Also, both beta-7 and gamerchuck just happened to have footage that no one else does.

The act is up SEGA...
fun while it lasted. Good promo for ESPN NFL Football, seems like the best game this year.

Open letter to you mouth-breathers who keep screaming "FAKE!" every post...why do you do that? Either it's real, and you're assholes, or it's fake, and you're ruining the fun...making you assholes. Stay away from fark.com's message boards or else! We don't need you assholes there! I'll fuck you up good if I catch a whiff of you idiots there!
