Nah, I don't believe in "grunk".  The language is certainly a fair copy of the genuinely fucked-up retard, and the hyper-responsiveness is a good portrayal of the Jade-style forum obsessive.  But it's too one-paced, and it doesn't work with the occasional nature: the going away for months then coming back, up to pace.  Too much awareness of those around him, too, even if the actual nature of the resulting observations are out of whack.

I don't buy it.  I seem to remember falling for it last time, but I'm older, wiser and perhaps just a little sexier too, now.

I don't get it.

If grunk is real, his posts are no different than those of hundreds of other retards on the internet.
If grunk is a gimmick account, his posts are still no different than those of hundreds of other retards on the internet.

Is there some reason some people here are finding generic internet retardery so entertaining in this case?  If we're so desperate to gawk at fuckwits, why did we kick SirBruce out in the first place?  Grunk isn't even on the level of thejeni or that guy who made the UO subscriber chart.  He's the 11 year old X-box Live gamer that causes us to turn our headsets off.

You'd pretty much have to be locked up in one to have anywhere near the free time you'd need to grind up in FFXI.

I should get back to nature, too.  You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer.  Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached.  Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

If you met her in a bar, you wouldn't care what her name was. Or if you know a language in common.

She is insanely cute though. Cute enough that you could block out the shapeshifting teenage angsty ninja schoolchildren, leaping around you, fighting the tentacles coming up through the floor. In the bar. Hey. Did you get carded? How old are you anyway? F**k it, I don't care, just say "how old do you want me to be".

He's good to have around. The utter pride in that stupid screenshot of the goofy cartoon character in shitty looking armor sums up my feeling about hardcore mmo players perfectly. He truly is The Man, someone to be feared and respected for his amazing achievements that most mere mortals will never even approach. He should be on one of those Bud Light commercials.

... from ffxi.

Washed a shore on windurst and surrounded by sawed off midgets, A young galka escaped the slavery of the bastok mines. With the odds awlays against him, he drove on to become a god.

It was a great run... the greatest ever. The great Dark Knight leaves behind... what was the greatest mmorpg ever made.

I wana thank... nah fuck it. Those should thank me, for i was the reason they all got there ABJ, there Relics, there AF ,there ying yangs, there torques, there shadow mantles, there bah staff.. shit every item in the game, yall rode the galka to the promised land... and so on.

Grunk was a god. When DRK's were joked about, there is but one legend. One DRK to rule them all, with the power of the club, Grunk 2-8'ed hes way to legendary status... and became the greatest Final Fantasy character in the history ... of final fantasy.

Man, Myth, Legend but above all else... Galka.

Shit, FFXI is dead, it has lost its greatest hero...


Look out deathwisper, there is a new sherif in town.
hey I remember FFXI

I made a Hume warrior and killed goblins for a bit, then I did some really boring quests for Cid and I don't recall the rest but it involved getting in groups to kill crabs for hours while waiting to get my chocobo license. Then I decided the game was gay and quit playing and my life improved 100%

Yeah that's pretty much the whole game. The last time I played I was level 61 and soloing crabs...

That's my exact experience in FFXI. Not sure why I even bothered with that one.

You got to the desert and you were absolutely required to group, to kill crabs. The same crabs you've seen the entire game, just with a different hue and the numbers appearing over your head were exponentially higher than the ones you were previously accustomed to. All this to get your riding license from the rare ass drops and then you'd grind a few more days to start unlocking other jobs. Where you'd start the game over again. Killing orange crabs instead of the blue or yellow ones you had progressed to with your FIRST job.

Horrible, horrible game.

I think FFXI is the only MMO I've played for which I still harbor hatred and resentment.  That was just horrible.

No but I remember the 4 different CD keys that were each 24 digits long and had to have correct capitalization and shit. Plus the fact that they deleted your dudes when you unsubscribed. It was like a fist fucking at every turn.

I once spent hours killing crabs after an unfortunate incident with a groupie in the band room. I did get some good dingratz out of it, though.

Musicians are mostly broken.  You are so lucky you didn't get rich and famous.  You'd probably be interesting and dead or alive and boring like Paul McCartney right now.
