2. Where did Fiwer=Tidus come from?

Fiwer was the troll among trolls in the Games forum, even going so far as to call MGS2 "Daitatana with more green" or something (which, might I add, is troll brilliance at its best). Anyway, he went on a "FFX IS THE GAY" campaign and flooded threads with the homoerotic image of Tidus. Then, I believe, someone posted a thread called "The perfect name for Tidus," which was, obviously, Fiwer.

a note on the Charles Johnson video:

there are, in fact, two versions. the original version has no editing except for the pause button (or so it seems to me), and the second version (whoknows.avi) was HEAVILY edited. i find the second version to be funnier because of Vegetables' Monty Python-style moving mouth at the end.

Fiwer hates every Final Fantasy game after 6. Whenever somebody make a thread about Final Fantasy X, Fiwer would reply with This picture on Tidus. Because of Fiwer's obsession with Tidus, somebody decided to rename Tidus as Fiwer in the game.

I've got a little bit of trivia since I can't really think of any questions.

1. What was TastyArmageddon's very first forum account name? Also, name the band that was in this account's overly huge signature.

2. The original Pirates vs. Cowboys thread that spawned the infamous BBandB photoshopped head was between britishbornandbread and who?

True, but not quite. For the month or so before Final Fantasy X came out, every thread anyone started on it would be graced by this picture courtesy of Fiwer. I found it hilarious but it really seemed to get a lot of peoples' panties in a bunch.

I rememeber reading the Space Robot Bonanza the day it was posted and anxiously awaiting the next chapter of Jeff K's SURVIVORE comics. I even bought one of the original SA t-shirts.

And yet somehow I missed the forums. WOULD SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME? WTF?!?!1

I once went on one of my forum breaks, and when I came back, everything was Navigable! I never ever ever got a straight explanation of that. Something to do with the mousewheel? And threads and posts? So confused.

It started off as someone posting how they liked to play a game that they made up when they were bored. What you do is, starting at the top of a thread, place your mouse pointer anywhere on the screen. Then, without moving the pointer from that spot, scroll once with your mousewheel. If the very tip pixels of the pointer land on any of the thin grey lines that seperate each post, you have to go back to the top of the screen, put the pointer somewhere else, and start again. Once you manage to scroll all the way down the thread without hitting any lines, you post "Navigable!" It was basically another way of Short Bussing/Banana Girling a thread.

Ditto, but in my case, I liked SA but was neutral about the forums (because, back then, there was far more trolling and general stupidity.) I finally gave in and started lurking when Lum's went down, the replacements weren't up to par, and I needed another place to read for a while, registering in just about the last possible moment before they went pay. Whew :)

SOJ = Stone of Jordan, from Diablo II. It's generally used when mocking Korean battle.net players of this game who tend to say "KEKEKEKEKKEE U GIEV SOJ ??%?? =^_^=" a lot.

Additional history:

Back in classic (pre-expansion) Diablo 2, the Stone of Jordan was one of the hardest items to get in the game. There were two other unique rings, and due to "spwaning order" you or someone else had to have the other two rings before you could even have a chance to find the Stone. It was (and to an extent still is) useful, imparting +1 skills and +25% mana. For a while, very few people had a SoJ. Once Jarulf (yes, that Jarulf) posted information publicly about the easy way to get one, players would spend massive amounts of gold gambling SoJs (you could gamble uniques with some consistency back in the day) and muling them off as they got them.

Then came the duplication exploits, since l33t kids seem to have a penchant for trying to ruin all of Blizzard's online games. The Stone of Jordan became the most duplicated item, because of its size (1x1) and perceived worth. The mass duplication became so bad that people started using the Stones as currency rather than the barter system the designers had intended on.

When the Expansion came out, two important changes were made: the Stone of Jordan's chance to appear became a percentage chance (very low) and you could not gamble uniques at first; Blizzard changed this, but the chance is like 1/10000 IIRC. Also they assigned unique item ID codess as a way of combatting dupes, and adding Cube recipes using SoJs to try to get people to use up the existing pool. Unfortunately there were already too many dupes floating around that will never go away (since when they were brought into the expansion they gained their own unique item codes), hence maintaining their status as currency.

Same thing with me. I've been reading forever, when someone posted a link to a Jeff K. interview, I was hooked. Then I started reading the front page of Something Awful, and said, hey, this is pretty funny. I remember going into the forums once, like right around the time they started, and the only threads were about something awful, like I remember a "Is Jeff K real or not" thread and people had custom titles like "I might be lowtax"

I think I discovered the site through a link to a Daikitana "review" only to discover something horribly, horrible awful.

I think I checked out the forums a few times waaay back when and thought they were (NOT GAY) so I didn't bother with them for a long time. The next time I tried to visit I found out that you had to pay to access them, so with a resounding "gently caress that!" I hit the back button. It wasn't until the Phriday Phorum Photoshop poo poo started that I realized what I was missing.

apparently Koreans cannot pronouce "hehehehehe" like Americans/UKers/Engrish speakers can, so they substitute "k" for "h", resulting in kekekekekekeke.

also, the ^_____________________^ is a Korean bastardization of the ^_^ emoticon, which originated with the arch-eyed happy face found so commonly in japanese animation.
