for those that needs context for this video:

On 11 December 2008, Matt Harding sarcastically revealed at the Entertainment Gathering that the videos were a hoax and that he is an actor, not a game designer, and the videos were made using animatronic puppets and extensive video editing. A month later, during the MacWorld convention, Matt revealed the "hoax about the hoax" and joked about the fact many people took it seriously and the outrage it caused. He also made it very clear that the videos he made were indeed 100% real.

You sir, just failed at the Internet.

And I'm a pretentious British fop from the mid 19th century, for using "sir".
>> ^Aemaeth:
Wait, what? I don't understand a few things:
1. It would be more expensive to use puppets than to fly your actor to a couple places (like Buenos Aires) and get people to come be in the shot. Why not do that?
2. Who paid for this any WHY did they spend millions on it? Who benefited from this?

Thanks for the promote eric
