The Official WTF Thread

Hasn't popped on here yet so I might just do the initial thingy.

Have any of you heard of this YouTube Channel called "Big World of Toys"? It has like 5,600 subs and apart from uploading - as the channel name suggests - toy stuff, it also publishes "Reviews" of Nolimits2 coasters. And I first thought: Nice, someone reviews coasters using their voice and some footage, so I watched one of them. Turns out it's only an onride POV of the ride together with a score out of 5 in the title and one sentence in the description. Good job.

Here's one of their "reviews":

Definitely. Wodan also has Fire effects on the crest of the lifthill. They reinforced the wood with metal where the fire is, so it wouldn't catch on fire.

Welcome to Science Lessons With Facebook. In today's episode: 'fire make wood go burny oh noooo.'

Like come on, you think after everything they've been through Merlin wouldn't take safety into extreme consideration? Even for GP that's pretty dumb.

I can't stop laughing at "Can you imagine if the ride caught fire because someone manual overridden the ride to cook there bacon and sausage on?".

Not sure if this entirely counts as wtf, but here we go.

As some of you might know from a couple of years back, Atari was found to be using NL2 for their boxart/promotional material for RCTW, well it appears they haven't learnt their lesson since they're using a NL1 track for their Steam Trading Cards.

Specifically, the track is Wildfire by Jonny Richey.

not crediting the software, not crediting the original designer of the coaster, AND the awful visual design with the top of the coaster clipping the top of the card are all sins worthy of shame for Atari

Well, at least they seem to like the software so much that they just use it for everything.
But this is just... Why?
No crediting, no mentioning of the program used. This is disgusting.

I love how they just mirrored the image, made it smaller and put it to the right of the big picture.

-"Sir, how are we going to fill this empty corner? There are loads of coasters we could also steal show on this card, what should we do?"

-"Eh, we're just gonna copypaste the same coaster... and mirror it!

It's even lazier than all of that. It's really, honestly, quite impressively lazy. Take a look at the top google image result for "roller coaster blueprint":

Yup.
