Support NeoGAF

[FlyinJ]

Every time someone posts one of these I laugh. Does the thread still exist where this was coined?

I think I remember vaguely when it was originally posted, but it's faded.

 

[CrimzonSamurai]

It's in the FF13 Multiplat announcement thread.

Most people say it originated here (I've seen the original post) but others say it was copied from a post on GameFAQs.

 

[Ishida]

It was from Amirox I believe? Or was it the "the age of Sony is done" one?

EDIT: ah yeah, I was wrong.

It was "the age of Sony is done"

 

[ilium]

poor soul didn't even get a tag for that.

 

[BigAT]

So was the original a joke or sincere? I was never sure.

 

[FlyinJ]

This had to have been a joke. I can't believe someone would post something like that in earnest.

 

[Junior Mint]

No, I actually beleive the original was serious

Searching for things, how does it work?

Do you know how many hits you get if you search for that block of text on NeoGAF?

 

[Aureon]

I wonder how, truly.

It's surely the most legendary post on GAF.

Do you know how many hits you get if you search for that block of text on NeoGAF?

It's actually the first result, though.

Of course it was a joke lol.

 

[LosDaddie]

I thought it was Kagari who had an epic meltdown over the news. Maybe I was wrong?

Ouch. Ok I suck.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Of course it was a joke lol.

I'm not so sure.

 

[Mobius 1]

It's difficult to say if the post was made in jest, or if he/she was serious.

 

[Matty77]

I do like the meme, I kind of wish I had been there for the genesis of it.

I look forward to seeing how people adapt it, it fits so well with so many things.

 

[BigAT]

Of course it was a joke lol.

People have posted far stupider things on GAF that were absolutely sincere. Don't blame me if I can't tell the difference anymore.

 

[Altazor]

Of course it was a joke lol.

are you, perhaps, an expert in joke culture?

 

[Azzurri]

The age of Sony one is I think funnier and especially when someone voiced it.

Douchebag. Yes, me. And I suck.

I laughed SO fucking hard at that. It was great.

 

[Tookay]

Of course it was a joke lol.

I wouldn't be too sure.

 

[Nibel]

Nah

Times were different back then

 

[Blablurn]

lol

 

[AkuMifune]

I'm not so sure.

Me neither.

 

[terribletwo]

I m fairly certain it was serious. That user name stunk up a bunch of forums about it back then. So salty

 

[Imm0rt4l]

I'm not so sure.

There's also the classic video version!

[Toa TAK]

The fact that the member who posted it didn't get tagged is the real tragedy.

EDIT: I got beaten.

poor soul didn't even get a tag for that.

 

[LosDaddie]

I wouldn't be too sure.

If the post was about any other company than Sony (this is GAF, after all), then it'd be easier to tell if it was a joke. There were plenty of meltdowns last gen over games going multiplat. The VF5 thread was a joy to read. VF5!

It was sincere.

Everyone lost their shit when that happened.

It was great when it was posted but like most things on GAF its been driven into the ground by people who have shit senses of humor and only know how to parrot meme images and statements.

 

[jtb]

holy shit that was seven years ago

 

[Nairume]

Most people say it originated here (I've seen the original post) but others say it was copied from a post on GameFAQs.

I heard the original gamefaqs post was copied from a piece of an ancient stone tablet recovered from a dwarf fortress.

NeoGAF just shot themselves in the foot...

I know, right. =(

That guy is still active as well, which is cool.

I don't know how much you know about the OP (I saw the original), but

Look at the delivery, the build up, and conclusion.

It's a joke.

 

[Fularu]

This meme is overused now and more annoying than anything else when used. It also very often derails the thread since you have 4-5 juniors who don't know it and start asking about it or quoting the person.

 

[BigDes]

It is pretty clearly real. People were flipping their shit about it being a betrayalton. Sad thing is running back through that thread now and really it doesn't stand out a huge amount from some other posts.
