Title: Re: What the hell is a Tiger Gizmondo? Post by: froggin ashbowl on March 22, 2009, 03:52:51 PM ... that's not a real reply and no, that was not a rhetorical question Title: Re: What the hell is a Tiger Gizmondo? Post by: Cobra on March 22, 2009, 03:54:07 PM Um.. yeah... Well you are ranked by video game system popularity and there is a good reason you have never heard of a Tiger Gizmondo...
Title: Re: What the hell is a Tiger Gizmondo? Post by: froggin ashbowl on March 22, 2009, 04:02:42 PM i'm sure there is but why not humor me? that's the purpose of these forums right? to learn and contribute. i remember when things in the videogame world were simple and easy to follow, now everything's grown exponentially....lemme guess, is it some cheap low budget handheld? i remember something about those "tiger" games but judging from it's lack of graphics and depth at the time i couldnt be bothered.

If you know then you shouldn't have made a topic with a title starting with "What the hell..."....but more importantly- should i be offended at having such a "title"? And what's with the attitude, anyway? This isn't a prison. You weren't forced to come here. You can leave if you don't like what you see.Title: Re: What the hell is a Tiger Gizmondo?

Nice way to welcome someone. :) User titles are based on your standing in the community. The more posts you have, the higher your console "rank" is. People with few posts are ranked as Tiger Gizmondos because they weren't very widespread and a bit basic. I think there was a list of different "ranks" and the post counts at which they changed in the "About" section in the top user bar. You could always make your own user title on your Profile page.

Post by: froggin ashbowl on March 22, 2009, 05:10:52 PM James- so it's a console. thanks
Sirgin- Let's not get so sensitive about the thread title. it was a casual "what the hell..." not an antagonizing one. I'm sarcasm prone and i may be callus. if there's one thing i learned about forums in general is that each one has it's own tone and vibe which responds differently to language. I half expected this when i began posting. Title: Re: What the hell is a Tiger Gizmondo?

I half expected this when i began posting. Then wouldn't it have been smarter to put all that forum knowledge to good use and lay low for a day or two to see what the "tone and vibe" of this forum is - instead of jumping in head first? ;)Title: Re: What the hell is a Tiger Gizmondo? Post by: froggin ashbowl on March 22, 2009, 05:37:53 PM No. I'd rather not since that requires too much consideration and forethought. I'm not the type of person that considers the thought of whether or not it's "smart" to jump in. Additionally, you choosing the word "smart" suggests that you're holding me to certain "standards" and I find that dubious.
Title: Re: What the hell is a Tiger Gizmondo? Post by: Shimra on March 22, 2009, 05:40:44 PM This is a very good first impression!
Title: Re: What the hell is a Tiger Gizmondo? Post by: froggin ashbowl on March 22, 2009, 05:49:55 PM yea and i all i had to do was comment on the forum's chosen entry rank. surely it could've been gameboy however, just reaching N Gage status makes me feel much more respectable. i'm totally passed this now :nod:
Title: Re: What the hell is a Tiger Gizmondo? Post by: NES_Rules on March 22, 2009, 07:02:28 PM You know, if you really don't like the ranks, you could just donate (http://www.rfgeneration.com/forum/index.php?action=paypal) and have the Donor rank. :P

Post by: Cobra on March 22, 2009, 09:58:23 PM May God have mercy on us all, I decided to look up the Gizmondo and this is what I found...
Quote from: Wiki The Gizmondo is a handheld gaming console with GPRS and GPS technology, which was manufactured by Tiger Telematics with industrial design by Rick Dickinson. Launched in 2005, the Gizmondo sold poorly, and by February 2006 the company discontinued the Gizmondo and was forced into bankruptcy. Gizmondo was overshadowed by Stefan Eriksson's involvement in organized crime. In 2008, Carl Freer announced that he had reached an agreement with the liquidators, and planned to re-launch Gizmondo. The Gizmondo 2 is expected to be released in the Summer of 2009, and will allow users to make phone calls. Title: Re: What the hell is a Tiger Gizmondo?

Stick around we may be losing one of our members like you via juvy and it would almost be a shame for the site to be too low key. That reminds me can someone get Kreso posting again?

Title: Re: What the hell is a Tiger Gizmondo? Post by: Cobra on March 23, 2009, 02:05:34 AM That is a very interesting little Gizmondo game. Even more fun than anything available for the Gizmondo haha.
Title: Re: What the hell is a Tiger Gizmondo? Post by: froggin ashbowl on March 23, 2009, 03:23:06 AM wow, all lols aside i'd have to say that aspect of the Gizmondo was interesting and that part about Trevor sounds like something from 5th season of the Sopranos.
