What's With All the Acronyms?! Rant

HWTFMIT.

Honey wouldn't think of farting at Massachusetts Institute of Technology?

Oops, HS, not H. I think I saw M but I've also seen A subsituted for the M.

Helicopters shouldn't watch tiny females marching in traffic?

GoW is the only one that kind of fails, since it could go: God of War or Gears of War.

Other than that I don't think it's a big deal, most of of us here probably know what we're talking about via the context and whatnot. If not it doesn't hurt to politely ask.

Another acronym that fails is MK, as it could be Mortal Kombat or Mario Kart.

Anyone else here a fan of MK? The first one on the SNES is pretty cool but hasn't aged very well imo. The second one however is by far my favorite. So many great memories of playing it at my friend's house.

Yep yep. I was a huge fan of the original 3 and even UMK3 (especially in the arcades). I gave up at 4, hated the 3d stuff, but am IN LOVE with the new MK. I would buy a 360/PS3 just for that game.

I don't think you quite...

Dammit!




Of course I should have been paying better attention to damn smilies after rather clever wit.

For the record, I now am in 100% agreement with AQ about MK on the N64.

By the way, why isn't it SMK? That would clear up any confusion, and really there's no reason in dropping the initial S.

Because we're talking about the series of games MK and MK.

The real question is which irritates your friends more: decapitations or blue shells?

[o.pwuaioc]

The thing is, the series MK never had a single game that could be abbreviated "MK", while the series MK did.

And blue shells hands down.

Ah, the irony of this and this topic is that on another forum earlier today I read...

"I just hope DK is in MK7".

So yeah, I read that as "I just hope Donkey Kong is in Mortal Kombat 7".

Which, does need to happen.
