<h3>"Console Warrior" Disappears</h3>
The once-proud "Console Warrior," Wilhelm Lindersmith, vanished from his apartment in Boston, Massachusetts, late Wednesday afternoon. Authorities are still unclear as to what happened. Lindersmith was well-known in the gaming community as the defender of the failed Omega line of consoles, going so far as to don a suit of armor and release an epic campaign online to promote the console. While the Omega X, the last proper hardware released by the company, was a disaster both critically and financially, Lindersmith made a name for himself out of the videos.
This page will update when more information comes to light about Lindersmith's disappearance. In the meantime, if you have any information about our missing Console Warrior, please report it immediately.

I remember loving the old console warrior vids. Gotta hope for the best.
''nnenn''
Me too. The one with the dragon was hilarious. Hopefully he just got drunk and is asleep at a friend's house.
''believeinSEER''
I heard a rumor they found a mysterious device in his room, yet nothing I've read has mentioned that. Cover up?
''NominalFishmonger''
Yeah, right. Classic conspiracy theorist. What is it this time, aliens? Lizard people?
''believeinSEER''
I know you're joking, but there's actually a lot of evidence to support SEER's existence.

''NominalFishmonger''
This is just another overreaction. I bet he just got drunk and crashed at a friend's house, like others have said. Wouldn't be the first time.
''abacus''
Did he had superpowers?
''legomaniac''
what are you talking about?
''nnenn''
I heard something about this, there was a big fiasco about how he could control electronics with his brain a couple years ago. THought it wsa just a nother stunt though

Yeah, yeah, I know I know. You think you've fount he solution to all the problems. Well, I think you're a load of bullshit.

some research would suggest that a similar device was seen at a performance by one magician larry edina
(align: '==>')[''beetlejooce2323''
What does Larry whoever and Wilhelm Lindersmith have in common?]
''novaburst''
do
''novaburst''
and, this magic show (if you can believe the rumors), was the first and only time edina showcased his amazing ability to teleport
(align: '==>')[''beetlejooce2323''
So, Lindersmith didn't just vanish, he teleported away... where?]
''novaburst''
that's the part i don't understand
(align: '==>')[''beetlejooce2323''
What happened to Edina?]

he's fine. never did that trick again, though.
