For those who don't know, Warppipe was a great program written (as freeware) that one could run on his/her PC, connect his/her GCN to the PC and plan "LAN-Only" games over the internet - thus making the GCN "online"... (No debates about GCN/online and such, please...)
Well... Long story short, check out this thread (http://forums.warppipe.com/viewtopic.php?t=11400&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 ). I think that pretty much sums it all up.. It's an interesting read, to say the least...
Any thoughts?

It seems that Warp Pipe is going to be in charge of the "online" side of the NDS, but somehow it's gonna be even more and better than just that.
And it won't be revealed on October 7 with Nintendo's press conference announcing the NDS launch titles, but will be revealed midway through the month.
I think I'll just wait for the actual news.

Warp Pipe is just going to bring LAN gaming online officially, nintendo isn'ts stupid enough to allow them full reign of the "online" side of anything.

the gamersmark article has been refuted and the people there have officially appologized for jumping the gun on incorrect information. All we know is, thats NOT it.
I've been following this story religiously

They shouldn't be hyping people up like this. Even if it is something pretty amazing, people already have a certain expectation set in their minds as it what it is, and will probably be disappointed regardless of how great it is.
I'm just going to ignore all this until something concrete is announced.

Though they should stop with all that "leaking", anyone remember what Ninty did when Atari was that talky?

I agree, but chad has assured us on several occasions that we'll be happy with what happens. It's supposed to revolutionize multiplayer gaming...supposedly. We'll see though...

Apparently this site will be giving more clues at to what this product is or does. Obviously with the cluses they have given so far, it has something to do with the DS, even the logo name DemaSked shows this. At the end of the month everything is supposed to be revealed about what this all means. Oh yeah, when at the demasked page, if you click on the "button" that says RRS (no idea what that is or means) it takes you to an error page with a weird message...

Now is this another clue or just a joke? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Broken Chairs your body conforms to. Out beyond the quieted garden. You can bring the man form into trust. Through the holes in my everydayness. Lends sustenance where starvation's necessary. Cause my brain's a dictionary. Of long spring days and the speech of crows. Who themselves are mirrors of apprehensions. In the fallen sun. Alright. You can make it stay

VideoGamerJ- it is all very confusing, but all or atleast most of it has a common theme, isolation, and separation, they seem to be suggesting Demasked as a solution to that. I am thinking something that will make internet gaming more personal somehow.
Whatever it is, WarpPipe is putting out a lot of hype, I certainly hope it is not a let down.

QuoteNot necessarily. Couldn't that just mean that the DS is coming out between Halloween and Thanksgiving, so we would be able to experience it before we "carve our turkey"?
But one of the clues in the warpPipe forum (thank you blackNmild) said that we will find out "after we are demasked, and before we carve our turkey" (not an exact quote). That Probably means that we will find out after halloween and before thanksgiving.
