Propellerheads own.  Just thought I'd share.

The songs in Matt's playlist are by a England electronic band called Propellerheads.  They're really good mid-90's techno.  Their best known song is the Spybreak! which is the song that plays when Neo and Trinity fight the SWAT team in the building where Morpheus is being held towards the end of The Matrix.  They also did the song History Repeating which is in There's Something About Mary.  It's the song that plays after the dog jumps out the window and they show Ted and Mary going on a bunch of dates with the dog in the full body cast.


BTW, I think I figured out Matt's clue.  As Bill pointed out, the song that's highlighted is 360? (Oh Yeah?).  Matt's probably just trying to say "If you think Xbox 360 is great, just wait until you see the Nintendo Revolution".

The picture doesn't necessarily have to mean anything. Matt created a new thread called "Post Your Desktop" in the GameCube forum. All he said was "Off topic? Doesn't have to be."

Where did the idea come from that it had anything to do with Revolution?


Edit: Looks like Matt's mailbag smacks this one down.

Next!

Oh man, Matt had to go and discredit his own screenshot before I could form my master theory:
The Nintendo Excorcism will allow us to possess our TV sets and thus truly experience the game...in HDTV widescreen!! You'll feel 16:9 times as fat as usual, but everyone watching you play will be happy to get the true HDTV "experience" and the system even comes with Nintendo branded barf-bags in case your Nintendo Excorsism goes haywire and starts spinning around and puking while you play.
That's my opinion, not yours.

Did you see IGN's "Revolution mockup" before Ninty's E3 conference?  If you haven't, I recommend that you do...

As for SG007's blog, you can find it easily in the page source...I seriously doubt it's meant to be hidden...

That mockup was done on very specific size requirements given by NOA a few days before. They were no more accurate than anyone, they even had the directions wrong.

Um, look at it again...Though the buttons are in the wrong direction, the button layout is correct...It even has the Revolution's stand, which I KNOW wasn't included in the size description...

Take another look at that. It only has two buttons, not three. There is no stand either. Plus their mockup is in the wrong direction, not the buttons. Their mockup is horizontal not vertical (dvd slot is on the wrong edge). Anyone who'd seen the rev would've gotten the direction right.

That mockup was made after Kaplan's statment about the size of the Rev, thats why Matt wrapped up three DVD cases and put them next to the GC, to show the size, that was no insider info or anything.

Wow....Bill...don't answer this one...I got you .

Look at the picture. The stand is "shown" as the part not wrapped up in paper. The part that is wrapped up in paper is the REV. He knew there was a stand and therefore put it in his "mock up."

The whole thing is wrapped in paper. I'm not sure what the grey stuff is, but it's on the paper.

Plus, why would there be a stand on it lying down?

I'll field this one, The gray part is supposed to represent the stand, the white part is supposed to be the Rev, if you put them together you have the Rev in the stand. There, now wasn't that simple?

p.s. the mock up he made was not meant to be accurate, it was to be representive of what would be shown.

Alright, if that's not proof that IGN sometimes know something, Matt hinted about the realistic Zelda before the first TP trailer was shown, hinted that MPH would have online before the online announcement, hinted about the Metroid thingy before the short Rev Metroid Demo, and countless other things that have come true that slip my mind at the moment. Unveiling of GBA SP and/or DS too. I don't like the guy, but he DOES occasionally get insider information.

I think that the grey thing is just part of the paper, its nothing special, its not even at the right side of the real Rev, as I said, that was made up after Kaplans announcement. Ill admit that hes pretty good at guessing or has some insider source, he got the wolf thing in TP too, but one thing Im sure is that that mockup is not indicative of anything.

GOOD GOD, this is ridiculous!  The grey part of the Rev mock-up is IDENTICAL in shape and form as the real Rev stand, END OF DISCUSSION...Claiming it's coincedence or otherwise is bogus!

I'm with you on this one Bill, some people can be so dense at times that it becomes frustrating.

IGN said this:
Look at the guts of the machine. Pretty powerful, huh? Legit specs for Revolution have not yet been made public, but we do know the console will be powerful enough to play high-definition games..
