I really only ATE WAFFLES once or twice when gamedev went down and the only thing I remember is something along the lines of "Gamedev is like a fat kid running around in circles. Eventually it just dies."

I want to make a hockey MMORPG using HTML with variables.

Quote:Original post by geo2004 So I've been browsing these forums for over 2 years now, and it seems like every now and then a random topic comes up. The most recent one I saw was the reference to floorcaek (in the Epic Beard Man thread). I finally tracked down this which kind of explained it. I have also noticed a lot of references to bears (this also came up in the Epic Beard Man thread, but most notably here). And of course >EAT ROPE!, which after some research appears to have originated here.
I got a kick out of reading the EAT ROPE story, and the others are interesting to say the least. I have 2 questions: 1. Are there other things/words/topics that are GD's own that are totally random and obscure, and 2. what's with the bears? I still haven't figured that one out.
Also, "There is always the single player campaign." No luck finding the OP on that one though. It was probably deleted, is was quite distasteful (but very funny in an I'm going to hell kinda way).

I really think we should be trying to resist this sort of thread.

It's only the first result. [wink] I wonder what happened to Kuato, or if Toxic Hippo ever got the girl (with or without an iPod)?

Oh yeah, and then the short, yet very intense time span between the moment someone realized that you could insert javascript into your posts and the staff blocking it...

Back then you could insert code that would execute by simply viewing a thread. That was, uh, interesting... Nowadays Superpig would probably insta-ban anyone for even thinking about trying this [wink]
