Atari Jaguar - Anyone else sick of it!!!

gonementhol

Is anyone else sick of seeing Atari Jaguar stuck on to polls?

Ok it was funny the first time, we'll even give the first 50 times, but I think it started wearing thin about a year ago.

Mr Magnolia

Atari Jaguar TBH.





Where's the Atari Jaguar option in the poll?

Exactly.

OP: Its not meant to be funny really(or at least I hope its not), its more of a "I couldn't care less" option. I noticed your poll is missing it, so I couldn't vote because I honestly could not care less.

Very tired, pointless, stupid and childish. Does'nt even make sense.

Well thats just it in my opinion. If you don't care less you just don't vote on the poll. I don't see the point in voting to say "I don't care about voting on this poll".

Atari Jaguar FTW

Everyone has the right to vote wether the poll outcome/result has anything to do with them or not, or wether they care or not...





Now, ATARI JAGUAR

Mr Magnolia

Can someone edit the Poll and stick Atari Jaguar in please.

Exactly, we all should have our say. Its in the interest of equality. Now, my say is
ATARI JAGUAR

Atari Jaguar

Ah crap, disparity between the title and the poll caused me to vote no, when I in fact laugh raucously everytime I see the words Atari Jaguar.

seamus

Poll corrected.

Lol, good job sjones. I'm sure the OP will be thrilled when they log back on

P.s ban the abusive one.

Current results say it all!

Read the WIKI pages and learn a bit about the history of Boards etc., OP. It'll give some context.

I know I'm a newb myself, but it always amuses me how someone with a handful of posts feels they have any right to change something that makes a forum what it is! That applies to any forum, not just Boards.

Nahh, the quicker that pig-human-hybrid thing is forgotten about, the better tbh.

300004 votes for Atari Jaguar?
There are not even that many broadband customers in this country

Looks like a fix. I think its more like 7 votes

However Atari Jaguar should stay! I mean whats the point of talking about something you wish would go away? All you do is bring it back into peoples thoughts and there will be a load of new polls on after hours now featuring it

No

Ooh, "l33t sp34k" AND a tla, on a scale of 1 to 10 you're a nerd

gonementhol

I pretty much knew this was going to happen

Had to post it up anyway!

Atleast I got more amusement from this thread than seeing Atari Jaguar stuck on a poll.

scojones

We should rewrite the code that inserts a Poll to include Atari Jaguar in every poll!

Sofaspud

You know what annoys me more?

People asking questions without using question marks.
Exclamation marks should not go at the end of questions.

Back on topic, ATARI JAGUAR FTW

Edit/ Maybe just in AH though.

sioda

I always wondered why not the game gear or the neo geo pocket surely there are different levels of not caring to be addressed

On the other hand Atari Jaguar FTW

On topic - Atari Jajuar...yawn

Why Atari Jaguar though? Why not like....the range of failed Philips and 3DO consoles, or something like the Turbografic that are even more obscure then the Jaguar....

bugler

The Atari Jaguar is a superior beast to the 3DO. The 3DO had some games that were playable. The Atari Jaguar had two 32 bit chips stuck together with twine, for maximum processing poewer!

To be honest Im not a fan of anything really geeky n nerdy like that. Don get me wrong, boards can be great most of the time... but things like Atari Jaguar, or FTW, or trolling, or especially threads like "what hand do you scratch your arse with" kinda does my head in. Abbreviations are good (like Ott, tbh, etc) but nerd talk is a little too much

Ruu_Old

I prefer the Master System but the Jaguar will do.

Its a computer games joke. I dont get it, or find it funny, any more than I would some obscure golfing joke or something, but each to his own.

I'm always making simpsons jokes in the assumption that everyone gets them (which they dont), so I presume its no different for computer gamer types to assume everyone else on boards gets their jokes.

It would probably be funnier if it stayed in computer games threads and not areas with a broad range of posters like AH, but meh, I've no problem with it.

You're on the internet, accept that it will come with the territory. Much the same way as walking into a ladies washroom will inevitably lead to the words boyfriend and tampon being overheard.

Boyfriend's tampon?

Lol, thats a good point.

I never looked at Atari Jaguar as being some sort of nerdy phrase, just as a "I couldn't give a shíte" option to the polls...

Meh never found it funny in the first place but doesn't really bother me. What does bother me however is the people who post saying that they are voting for it. Is there any need?

129.95 pounds? And here we are complaining games are expensive today. With inflation that must be at least [liberal estimate] Ten Grand or so [/liberal estimate].
Oh, and Im surprised George Lucas allowed that logo swipe at the end.
