Okies.

Deep thinking here, combined with self-analysis (huh...notice how analysis starts with 'anal'? XD )

Okies.

I no need the sporky boards.

So, sporky boards go away now.

Yep--taking my own advice--if I think it's dumb, then what am I doing there?

Anyhow. That's it. Carry on. *g*

I still stay on the sporky boards because, well, I've made friends there. Like people who play at Milliways that I otherwise wouldn't have met.

So.

True...but I tend to run into them other places too...like through friends of friends. ;)

In my case, I think it's just I don't really need to be there, you know? It's like offering a drunk a bottle of wine. *g*

This is just a case of personal preference, really. I'd like to stay out of it from now on. Best way to do that is...well..not be there. ^^

Atta girl.

I have faith in my self-control. I was good, I was. I believe I can remain so. Every time I'm tempted to wank, I go smoke a cigarette and play Meteos for a bit. ;)

Repetitive Stress Injury.

Which one can also get from wanking.

zOMG, it's a NO WIN SITUATION!!

lol!

I think my equvilent would be chocolate and Resident Evil--at least until my stunning reflexes failed me and I got et by the ebil zombies. *g*

That happens with alarming regularity, I've found. The et by ebil zombies, I mean.

Aye, that it does.

You see, my reflexes are so stunning that I tend to start running backward and sideways (the wrong way of course) when I want to run forward and in the other direction.

I am so skilled. *g*

OH GOOD IT IS NOT JUST ME

I had a similar problem when I was trying to figure out Outbreak the other day. I was trying to get Alyssa up the stairs, away from the zombies, and NO MATTER WHICH WAY I TILTED THE ANALOG STICK, she just kept moving right down the stairs.

I don't think I'm a fan of this game, sir.

You see? this is why they have Final Fantasy! (although I hear the newest is going to be more 'real time', so I am fearing for the menu system that I am so fond of. You know, the one where no matter HOW reflex-retarded I am, my characters will still be doing the right thing in battle because it's pre-programmed).

I like the RE games...it's just that I tend to have an extremely short life-span unless I save after every event. XD.

Although, once I get my hands all figured out, I tend to be really good at popping they little heads off...

ARGH DON'T GET ME STARTED ON FFXII GOD DON'T aw see now you've done it.

Actually, I've played the demo, and it's gorgeous. It's a wee bit like Kingdom Hearts, but it's also got a bit of the old Active Time meter stuff going on, too. It's hard to describe. You CAN set the options so time "stops" while you make the choice of what attack to use, so that's handy.

I'm just still peeved that it's been delayed time and time and time AGAIN. This latest delay is so that they won't compete with Kingdom Hearts 2. And while I appreciate that they're finally releasing THAT one, I'd rather get both in a decent amount of time.

DAMN IT SQUARE ENIX GET YOUR THUMBS OUT OF YOUR BUTTS!

*EG* HAH! See, now I am not the only one whining about HOW FREAKIN LONG THEY'RE TAKING ON BOTH TITLES!!!!

Man, but yeah, they're really dragging it out. So is it/are they for PS2, or am I going to have to figure out how to buy the new system?

Kingdom Hearts wasn't too bad for me, although I'd fubar some of the more complicated reflex-related moves several times before my fingers would catch on. The good news is that I have good memory reflex, so once I have it down, I'm good to go.

...It's just getting there that's the problem.

Well, KH2 is due out on Friday. I've had my pre-order cash down on it since last MAY.

My theory was that, yes, they were indeed holding those titles for the next gen consoles, but now that the PS3 launch has ALSO been pushed back, I don't know what to think.

I think Nintendo is going to get my next gen console money, I really do. Because I REFUSE to buy Microsoft. REFUSE.

I didn't bother tryong to pre-order at the time because they were so unsure. Wow...a whole year, almost.

Heh.

*nods* I'm not sure who would get mine, although we have a PS2 as well as an Xbox (Mostly used to plat Morrowwind--which is actually a very NICE game)...hard to make a decision there when your interests are scattered over three consoles. :/

...we still have our Nintendo, and Super Nintendo, as well as the original Final Fantasy cartridges.

Sporky boards?

But why the adjective 'sporky'?

The activity of 'Sporking' becomes 'sporky' because I am in an irreverent mood. ^^

...What's sporking mean in this context?

Date: 2006-03-27 06:22 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] silverthorne.livejournal.com
It's slang that started in...I believe...[livejournal.com profile] deleterius (I likely have the user name spelled wrong), or at least that's where I first saw it used excessively.

'Sporking' is essentually tearing into someone else's idea or character or way of playing on a rant board. it came about probably from people joking about getting 'sporks' (those spoon-fork combos some fast food chains provide) and going after a particularly offensive player and repeatedly stabbing them with said sporks.

BRPS is not nearly so harsh and cruel as Deleterius, but we've all seen some of the doozies there--hence, 'sporky boards'. Because a lot of the posts really do just tear into folks.

You're so right, and I've tried to stay away before, but then I keep coming back....

Innit? Takhys found the picture.

It kinda does eat your soul, yeah. I mean, I learned some stuff there that was useful--ideas about what counts as godmoding, and some technical things--but I've just gone and un-joined. Doesn't keep me from looking, mind, but it sure makes it harder to comment. :D

Go, Takhys!

Yeah, there are some useful convos, and I've tried actually giving some advice on some of the ones that weren't 100% seething commentaries, but over-all, being a member is just too darn tempting for my little 'ol dark side to resist.
