What the hell is a Tiger Gizmondo?

...but more importantly- should i be offended at having such a "title"?

that's not a real reply and no, that was not a rhetorical question

[Cobra]

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...

[froggin ashbowl]

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...".

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.

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.

I welcomed him in the Introduce Yourself thread. This was my response to what he wrote in this topic (and more importantly: how he wrote it), not my greeting towards a new member.

[froggin ashbowl]

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.

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?

[froggin ashbowl]

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.

[Shimra]

This is a very good first impression!

[froggin ashbowl]

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

You know, if you really don't like the ranks, you could just donate and have the Donor rank.

That's right Mike, whore the donor status!
