Over at the reddit gaming page some guy found Jeff's fake E3 game list  weeks after the original posting and without doing any research, and apparently lacking any critical thinking skills (or a sense of humor), posts it claiming it to be the real deal. Many users, also lacking critical thinking skills, believe it immediately and go wild with speculation.
 
This is one of the silliest things I've seen in a while. It would have taken less than 2 minutes to verify that this was a joke.  A couple hours after the posting someone finally does the barest amount of research and discovers its a joke, but not before people get hyped.
 
Props go to Jeff I guess, for creating such a crazy ass list and still having people believe it to be true.

I never saw that fake list before... Tony Hawk R2DE? CyberTiger 2? That is hilarious.

It will be interesting to see how many items on that list actually pan out.

This is the first time I've seen the list. It's pretty funny by itself which makes this misunderstanding even better.

I didn't know that Jeff made a fake E3 list. Gotham Night Racing should have been everyone's first indication that this list was fake. But I guess stranger things have happened before.

Oh man, thats too funny.
 
HILARIOUS EDIT: So I thought I would check how many sites reported on Jeff's list, it turns out quite a few.
 
So far the most hilarious thing I have seen is David Jaffe almost getting trolled by Jeff's list. You can read his blog on his website:  http://davidjaffe.biz/ 
Since I can't link directly to the blogpost, just ctrl+F and search for "Quick Hits"
 
Anyone else find David Jaffe's internet grammar absolutely appalling?

Lovely.  Funny how gullible people can be.  Or how they are willing to believe anything and hope blindly.

I pictured that old Gorrilas game where they throw exploding bananas at each other. That would be great.

the computer and videogames article is about the "first" fake list, not about Jeff's.

Awesome! I really have a distaste for Jaffe. The recent issue of EGM is nothing but him masturbating to himself. Fuck that guy.

Tony Hawk: R2DE is by far the funniest title there. Can't wait for E3 now.

I've never seen this before.  Hilarious list.  Damn, I can't wait for Grease The Video Game brought to me by the people behind ARMA, and ooh Elevator Combat!
 
My favorite is the inclusion of Big Ben Interactive, a former-Dreamcast game company that makes Wii & Iphone shovel-ware now.  If you include just enough reality mixed in with some fanboy wet-dreams, people will believe anything.

The Internet will take anything and sell it as fact. I think it´s about time somebody faked some new hitler-diaries.

The links you've posted from the first two search result pages aren't referring to Jeff's fake, they're referring to the original fake that inspired Jeff's fake. The way you've posted it makes it look like you believe they're referring to Jeff's.

How did some people read through that list and gloss over the completely hilarious game titles there? I think the best replies to that are the detailed and really well thought-out ones.
