Game Acronyms

I notice a lot of Acronyms that I don’t know what they are. (Forum general and games alike.) Can we go ahead and assume that allot of people have no clue what they mean and instead of being lazy actually type out what you mean when talking about a video game? I can figure out what general forum acronyms mean but when guys talk about games I’m lost.

 I know it's allot to ask of people who should have plenty of time to type in a forums setting... * Sarcasm*

Stfu OP u clearly dont know vgames. Eva played WC or HL? Bet you only know Cod: MW2 and BF:BC2. GTFO and take ur dumb opinions with u. Ty.

As always you are a helpful and mature bunch

If it’s obvious that I don’t understand what you guys are talking about then why continue? I specifically will not google just to spite everyone who posts in this thread which I am sure will continue to amuse me.

How exactly is your ignorance on these matters supposed to spite use?

If by “use” you mean “us” then I mean it’s supposed to spite you guys because I know everyone will have some sort of annoyance to my comment. Everyone will rage and “flame” on my post because they think they are some sort of forum “god” and must make their opinion known that they know every acronym known in the forum world. Therefore I will not look up any acronym on Google JUST so I can be ignorant and ask any question I want.

Everyone can flame all they want. But it will not affect me in any way shape or form. I will still ask the same questions until they are answered. But google will not answer my questions.

You know, you aren’t as much of a faggot as the other past people on here are. I like how you handled our flaming. lol. Totally serious too.

Thanks for the typical HTML attachment that any other would have thought of. But my request has still not been resolved I suppose. I have other choice words to say about you Jambo but I will refrain since they are not so nice.

I certainly don’t understand the hostility from such a * simple* request. Such time on this forum is spent on meaningless subject matter which some how makes my subject matter negate? shrugs

Peoples logic does not make sense to me…

Do you actually think I seriously meant that I wished for you to die in a fire? Almost everything on the Internet (and these forums especially) is greatly exaggerated and most people are caricatures of themselves. I was just saying no thank you.

And I’ll continue to say no thank you. Tell me which of these options you find to be more logical.

  • That an entire community stop using acronyms that it has been using for most of it’s 5 years existence and change the way they post for a single user who marches in and demands it.

  • Or that the previously mentioned single user could use some common sense or perhaps Google any terms that he/she does not understand.

To borrow a quote, “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.”

Oh and please reveal these other choice words you have to say about me, I’m genuinely intrigued.

This sounds like a good idea too bad the trolls found it first

Well, I’m gonna add a few and try and be helpful for once…

GTFO = Get the Fck out/Get the Fck off.

LMGTFY = Let me Google that for you.

STFU = Shut the F*ck up.

LOL = Laughing Out Loud

ROFL = *Rolling On the Floor Laughing.

GDIAF/GDIAH = Go Die In A Fire/Go Die in a Hole (Respectively)

WTF = What the F*ck

OP = Original Poster

TY = Thank You.

That good enough for you?

Guzzi simply asked a question which could have disappeared into oblivion over time, but instead the usual peanut gallery has to chime in with worthless comments, looking for laughs and approval. Basically they need other people to make them feel important, there is no other reason for such angry and useless posts. Like I said, the thread would naturally disappear over time and Guzzi would get the hint without everyone’s bullshit.

I do agree that Guzzi’s OP was retarded, but IMO that doesnt mean you have to be dicks. Sorry Guzzi, people are too used to using acronyms and it’s definitely not going to stop. I’m surprised you actually thought people would oblige your request. lol

I think forums is pretty cool guy, eh is a dick to everyone for the sake of nerdy humours and doesn’t afraid of anything

What you say is true, but the Black Mesa forums have a reputation and some members will do everything in their power to uphold it. Everyone has to learn this lesson sooner or later. If you can handle the shitstorm of assholery and trolling, you learn, move on and enjoy the forums, and everyone is happier. If you can’t, you ragequit and everyone is happier.

If I’m honest if a post I’m interested in contains acronyms I google them; I have no idea what half of them mean :stuck_out_tongue:

Like any community, its full of acronyms so people can feel a part of it (take the armed forces as an example). Its not a bad thing, doesn’t take too long to pick up either. No-one’s asking you to use them (I don’t), but sticking the odd word into google isn’t the end of the world :slight_smile:
