I can't see why people make fun of that. If you know the story *real* well, you will also know that the name was told via phone-line. And that meant, they had to guess its spelling from phonetics. And when guessing, errors may occur ...

TCD · 10 March 2009, 22:34

Well they could simply have spelled it on the telephone...

Skope · 10 March 2009, 22:35

Hmm... isn't Clown-O-Mania spelled Clown-O-Mania?

Nope, it's spelled Clown-O-Maina

DH · 10 March 2009, 22:37

@TCD

Yeah! but if you've got 30 seconds before you get busted, I don't think they would of had time to spell it out

That's what they wanted you to do

Btw : Post more fails guys

Well, whichever way it goes, the mistakes are there and we can all enjoy the humour of it today

and I'm sure there's no harm intended either.

It's amazing how quickly people can talk on a phone when they're about to be rumbled, and talking fast to someone who is not of the same language must of been mind melting for the person listening

Unfortunately it was not only the crackers getting the name of Bangkok not quite right:

Nice find IFW

Again they at least forgot the 'K' on 'Knights'

You bet they wouldn't! Otherwise the game would have been miscategorized as "Adult"

Yeah, it's very hard to understand why people made and still make fun of it, after all, the crack was perfect, the name was spelled right and Paralamia was an awesome group. *sigh* And name told via phone line my ass, it's of course IMPOSSIBLE to see the right spelling when booting the game, yeah, sure... Actually, I don't know what's funnier, your post or the "Turicon" spelling.
