I certainly was in it for the fad. I was also into the WWF as a fad. So what? Isn't that what kids do? I think anyone who enjoys Pokemon or Yugio after the ages of 10 or 11 has a problem and needs to grow up a bit.

lulz...

I have always used lulz and always will use lulz...

You reasons to grow up hold no logic. Also you have been proven to be a sheep, conform to you ignorant and idiotic ways I don't mind as long as you don't have a go at individuals who do something because they want to - not because its cool...

quote jackbergin

Yes, let's encourage idiocy.

Aye, if that's the way you think then there is no point in me speaking to you...

I think that too many people have said "Epic Failure" or "Fail" and I don't find it has had as much impact as It has in the past. Many people say it, and they get ignored

quote Darknet

Does it seem like the term "epic failure" has lost it's power and importance in the last year? I use to see it sometimes and back then it was a cool term to use. It was funny, straight to the point, and quick and snappy. Nowadays, just about every other post I see involves using epic failure in some form. The overuse of it just diminishes it's value in my opinion.

Yup it seems its the noobs who are swarming in, want to be cool and raise their E-rep, so instead of being original, they rather destroy something that had great impact.

Its becoming a problem, I mean now the saying "No, your doing wrong" is getting some attention. And eventually its going to be end up being a massive flop, kinda like after having sex if your a male.

Although i bet its the member from 4chan trying to destroy cool words.

quote Gussimotto

It was instantly not-cool when people started using it outside of 4chan.

It was instantly not cool when it started at 4chan. They ruined the word epic, now a lot of people use epic out of context; I used the word epic to describe things that actually were epic before 4chan started using it. Now I have to find a new word because too many idiots are using it.

quote Darknet

Without epic, there would be no epic failures. And those are the best.

I see you changed your mind

Epic in its original context means extended narrative poems, such as The Iliad. Is that what you were referring to?

Just goes to show that in the long run, everything is an epic failure. Even failing epicly is an epic failure at the end of the day.

quote Deathsythe

It really died once that tool Kevin from Attack of the Show started doing a weekly bit on it. It became far too mainstream, and way too overplayed.

The only true epic failure nowadays is $cientology.

Like evrything on the internet?

and yes to scientoligy....

(I always thought it was "Epic Fail" but im wrong almost daily)
