A prank thats three years in the making.

[mindless_moder]

This must have taken a lot of dedication .... well if its real.

In 2002, Dylan Reiff and Joe Korsmo began tracking the internet activities of Kolin, aka V. Gnome, an 18-year old computer gamer. They monitored and recorded Kolin’s AOL instant messages and gathered information about his friends and family from other sources on the net. Blending this data with scenarios from videogames and sci-fi films, they developed a mythology in which Kolin is “singled out as the savior of the human race.” The story is told in Gem Missile: A Tribute to V. Gnome, a 40-page book that incorporates photographs of Kolin and excerpts from his personal correspondence. In August 2003, Reiff and Korsmo showed up on Kolin’s parent’s doorstep in Chicago. Reiff introduced himself as “Z. Figiam,” Kolin’s “mentor from the future,” presented him with the book, and left without further explanation.

Sounds very fake. Why would the bloke agree to travel to the States to meet a bunch of nutters he didn't know?

 

[Krynn72]

He was already in the states, just flying to a different one. I'd do it.

 

[Sheepo]

If it's real it's awesome.

 

[Jintor]

Even if it's fake, it's still awesome.

A prank three years in the making sounds more like the day my girlfriend broke up with me.

That was completely and utterly epic. I just spent the last three hours or so reading it all. Incredible, the amount of planning and dedication that went into it. So many lol-worthy moments too.

I wish more things like this would happen in the real world too. I think we as a site should plan one for some unsuspecting person involving zombies!

In reality, you're fapping to Celine Dion aren't you?

I would have replied sooner, but it took me two hours to read your post.

Jerk.

 

[Jintor]

Zing!

Well, self-zing, I guess.

No, she doesn't.
