Darkfail

Ryan Shwayder over at Nerfbat made me laugh yesterday morning with:

“But I’m so hardcore that I was finally able to give them my money after nearly two weeks of trying.” and  “They invented Browser-Refresh-PvP, so maybe more of their ideas will be awesome.”

… regarding the horrorfilm that is Darkfall Online, which I can only imagine will be like an virtual version of what would happen if you skimmed off the 17-and-older population of 4chan and somethingawful (with a strong leaning towards 20s+ ex-uo types) and threw them into a giant Darkon match with boffers of their choice – which is to say, not as entertaining as the non-virtual version of said experience.

I’ve always wondered where the testosterone-gamer obsession with being hardcore comes from – probably not too far off from where those boffer weapons come from.  It just reminds me a lot of:

I'm so goth I shit bats


If only there was a more appropriate macro.  Oh wait, here it is:

Baww, it even has a sandbox.

That being said, feel free to let me know how it is… I want to play it not to prove how hardcore I am, but for the same reason that people search the internet for 2 girls 1 cup.  On that note someone should make 2 guilds 1 server.  Oh wait, EVE already did, nevermind :)

    Heard today that their servers got haxored from a friend. I have a website account but haven’t tried to ‘purchase’ the game yet.
