The dark souls thread is probably one of the most active threads in Games, and most people have bought the game on all the systems just because its convenient and gives them a wider player base to pvp with So basically there's quite a bit of money to burn

XCom is a game series that has a lot of "welp" moments so that smiley does get used pretty heavily.

They're both games which can be absolutely brutal and that's why people love them. But of course, unlike Dark Souls, XCOM has permadeath

There's also  , which has no possible application outside of the MWO thread. There's one for DICE and Infinity Ward (makers of Battlefront and COD respectively). Vanity video game smilies are a thing.

Sagebrush posted:Mass Effect is an extremely popular series spanning several games over like six years and the last game in particular generated an enormous amount of controversy. Well yeah, but the majority of the Mass Effect smilies were bought in an ME2 thread in the first year of that game's release. I can't remember the username but most, if not all, of them were bought by one guy with a pretty disposable income. Justified it by saying it just would have been spent on pizza or something else trivial anyway, I think. That was kind of an insane thread. There was even a Mass Effect themed Secret Santa between posters that year. (I still have my gift, a knitted varren plush) e: vvv makes sense to me Traxus IV has a new favorite as of 02:20 on May 12, 2013 |

I always just figured part of it was using smilies and forum goodies as a way to give Sr. Lowtax money. I mean, if SomethingAwful has brought a person great joy I don't think it's unreasonable that they'd want to spend some money on it so the people running it can eat and pay their rent. I'd spend more money here if I wasn't broke.

They're both from around 2006 (I think?) and they basically refer to stupid inside jokes from the SAS hockey threads lost to the sands of the archives.

VisAbsoluta posted:Also, And the thread was right there with them, going on about how much of a big sicko human being this guy was and how they needed to contact everybody the guy might know and tell them all about it. And plaster evidence all over his college, and contact the local media, and also sue the guy because pretending to be a girl on the internet is brain-rape. One guy even came in with some detailed fanfiction fantasy about confronting the guy in a bar, outing him in front of his friends (who immediately turn on him, natch), then they all kick the poo poo out of him while the crowd cheers. Yeah, SA was a different beast back in those days, but it's still weird to see that kind of thing go mostly unopposed. A few people tried to point out that the language being used in the thread was getting pretty creepy, but they were immediately shouted down and justified themselves by comparing the girl-impersonator to a serial pedophile rapist. There was even a mod or two who posted in there, so it's not like it just went unnoticed.

 So, how 'bout this one. I guess the bacon thing is because the girl is some internet person, but is the repent stuff because she was yelled at by a preacher? The code is FYH, my first guess would be it standing for "gently caress you ho", but that doesn't explain anything.

I was never clear on it either, but it came up way back in the thread: cletepurcel posted:It's from a GBS thread about this guy dealing with a really dumb student and her horrible stories, which included that line (I believe the character in the story was a Muslim). The girl in the avatar is the student. It was a pretty funny thread but I have no idea what made someone decide it was worth spending $30 on.

Kimmalah posted:I was never clear on it either, but it came up way back in the thread: I vaguely remember it, one of the characters ate bacon or something and since she was Muslim this caused her to be outcast from the community, who would throw bacon at her while shouting "repent, bitch, repent." The main character also freaked out about being raped because someone smelled her breath to see if it smelled like bacon without her permission, among other ridiculous things. It was a special thread.

Ooh, so what are the Citadel DLC references?Zenzirouj posted:Although I knew of that thread, I had never bothered to actually read it until now. It sure was a joyride, but did anybody else get pretty weirded-out by the sudden turn the thread took once it was revealed that it had been a guy posing as a girl? The OP says something like "I'm not a homophobe, I just want to get this guy back" and then follows it up with something along the lines of "so I'm going to burn down this faggy spider's gay pastel-colored buttrape web of deception!". And repeats that sort of message in his posts from then on out. Like, he and his friends were clearly incredibly offended and disgusted by the thought of thinking they were chatting up a cute girl when it was actually a guy and as such it was totally reasonable to spend several days staying up all night to concoct their revenge. ~*!~Different times~!*~ I thought it was amusing at first but then it kept going and I more or less blocked it out of my memory. The dude who was victimised in the thread wasn't even the weirdest person I've seen ever.

So what's going on with the flood of "<2 dogs screwing> You see? 10 bucks. I could have bought 2 new titles with that." custom titles? I'm pretty sure I've seen at least a dozen of them. I'm not really sure why but the kinda make me laugh every time I see one.

I just admire the fact that Morally Inept, despite trying to underplay and separate himself from the dog-rape quote at every opportunity otherwise, has still decided to make himself the guy who buys other people avatars of dog sex. Way to make people not think of bestiality when they think of you, Morally Inept! Gold star!
