R. T. Maxwell Report post Posted July 28, 2000 Well, I've always found Jeff K. to be insightful and witty. Of course, you would only seem the character of Jeff K. in such a light if you were aware that he is a complete fabrication. I think it's funny. I think Parias found it funny (but I can't speak for him, of course).But is it ironic that the SC was shown as a Vulcan? Hehe.Oh, I know I never post around here. *waves at everyone* Remember me?Long live Jeff K. And on a final note: I do think the scene with the Coke machine was hitting below the belt. Bad Lowtax! Other than that, though...I should stop rambling. Next!------------------ Robert Thomas Maxwell GCV Desideratus http://powerpub.net "Leave the repairs to the techs. Leave the mass destruction to ME."

Parias Report post Posted July 28, 2000 Okay, I admit it, I laughed. Only a little! Honest!*Cowers under a table in fear, cuddling his radioactive garden gnomes*Seriously though, I've found FPS Survivor hilarious since day one, and this one wasn't really all that different, despite the SC's vague appearance. I just found it funny, laughed, and moved on. I'd rather take in the humor of something than flame someone to death ------------------ Cmdr.

Parias Report post Posted July 29, 2000 Hamblin, if you've watched Voyager (speaking of which, are you the same Hamblin who frequents the Firstones forums and freaks out about Captain Janeway? ) then take a closer look at "Derek Smartyman". Also browse through the archives of FPS Survivor and you'll see why it's truely the best comic in existence, surpassing even Soap Banditos.------------------ Cmdr.

Guest Report post Posted July 29, 2000 Jeff K. is an invention of Lowtax (former staff member at voodooextreme.com now runs somethingawful.com). Jeff K. represents all the 13 year old, wannabe gamers who go about spelling like an "E1eet d00d" (aka constantly mispelling everything), yelling their opinions at everyone, and generally thinking they are right all the time, while acting like complete and utter idiots (trust me there are a lot of them out there, and we've seen a few on this board too Anyway, Jeff K. has a fake site (www.somethingawful.com/jeffk) where he conducts interviews, reviews games, and right now is running a comic called FPS survivor, which in 3 times a week installments makes fun of various highly visible people in the computer game industry (John Carmack, John Romero, Derek Smart, etc..). It's all in lighthearted fun, and should be treated as such. But some people do find it a bit mean-spirited (the coke machine was a bit much), and I'm not about to disagree with you on that totally, I'll just say that most of my life I've been involved with the game industry, and a lot of what Jeff K. represents rings true. So at least for me, he's pretty damn funny. ------------------ Cmdr.

Wold Report post Posted July 30, 2000 Interesting "play-on-words" I guess.. I did get a small chuckle with the pencil and mirror...the rest of it must have been over my head... or under my feet... or maybe I'm just in another system 'cause I didn't get the humor in most it.

Parias Report post Posted July 31, 2000 It looks like "Derek Smartyman" is making a play for power according to the last page of the latest issue of FPS Survivor.... curses, and I had to be drinking Coke whilst I was reading it too!------------------ Cmdr.

I used to be on the Armada board, but that place has shot straight to hell, so I don't bother any more.Have I watched Voyager? That's like asking if Derek Smart makes PC games! That's like asking if...if...if Kathryn Janeway is the most beautiful woman in existance (Which she is ). Yes, I did actually get some of the jokes. I just couldn't be bothered to attempt a laugh. It's not really that funny, in my opinion, but I don't get humor unless it's actually very well done, or incredibly crude.

Supreme Cmdr Report post Posted August 4, 2000 Its an old baseless rumour. Something about me kicking the Take2 office vending machine when they informed me that they were shipping my game incomplete and in Beta.Didn't happen. Just some more lies. If I kicked a vending machine, I doubt that it would be something for me to worry about, to the extent of saying it didn't happen when in fact it did.

Parias Report post Posted August 11, 2000 Well, FPS Survivor has drawn to an end. All I can say is, I'm proud of you SC! You managed to take down a couple of other developers before biting the bullet yourself. Very impressive! Unfortunate that you had to be posessed by the lost spirit of John Romero though.... ------------------ Cmdr.

Parias Report post Posted August 20, 2000 Uh, Warsong, I'd call Jeff K many things, but "stupid" isn't exactly one of them...*Walks around the room, flaunting his "L33t liek Jeff K. t-shirt"Personally, I've added "YUO=FAGOT" to my personal vocabulary, and use it whenever someone pisses me off. It's truely the most annoying insult in existence I've found.But however, let us not waste a perfectly good thread arguing if Jeff K. is funny or not (although I believe that Wacky Fun Computar Jokes and FPS Survivor Island are 2 of the best comics in existence). Let us instead hold hands, dance around the room, and throw ourselves out the nearest 40-story window. Hooray!------------------ Cmdr.
