Sad attempts at Neo-humor

#1 Post by jxpop »

Just thought I'd share my thoughts on some stuff (bare with me... it started as a rant on people's overpricing and ended up as... well, this)

Feel free to add on!

- - -

I find it funny when people try and scam you in their shops by putting common items like snowballs up for thousands... don't they realize that newbies don't have that kind of money, and by the time they do they'll know better?

I (click) find it funny how (click) people play dice a (click) roo. It's a stupid (click) game that has no (click) skill involved what so (click) ever.

I find it funny that Neoquest II is a horrible game for people with dial up.

I find it funny that every time I finally get something from the Money Tree, it's an Old Boot (or something worth less)

I find it not so funny that the promo game for "A Cinderella Story" is one of the hardest games to win neopoints in.

I find it funny that Magax used to be a Power Puff Girl.

I find it funny that you believed the "A Cinderella Story" game comment.

I find it fu...

...okay I'll stop.

Hmm, interesting post. I've thought of some answers...

Some people actually do by them whether by accident or such.

I (click) find it funny how (click) people play dice a (click) roo. It's a stupid (click) game that has no (click) skill involved what so (click) ever.


There's also a chance of getting a good neopoint return if you're lucky. Why not? It's an easy game to play.

Well.. I find it more true than funny... lol

Ditto that, because I keep a ten mile radius between me and sponsor games... making the diameter 20 miles!

Ditto...but I never played the "A Cinderella Story" so if you wanted you could say it had flying tea cups and angry pencils and I'd have to believe you :P

lol, the cinderella story game is ridiculous... you answer five "survey questions" to determine what character you are, and you get two hundred nps... and u can do it the usual max 3 times. The sponsor games are usually uber easy with relatively not-so-bad-for-the-time-wasted payoffs... it just feels like i'm betraying my masculinity while reading that I'm most like the evil stepmother :oops:

The Magax game was based on a Powerpuff girls promotional game, so yes, Magax was at one time a Powerpuff girl.

I won just over 27,000np from the jackpot today. I think that's worth paying 5np for :)

I think dice-a-roo is a good game. Remember that some people can't play flash games so they need to earn NP in other ways!

The others are pretty amusing though!

lol, see the (clicks) in the dice a roo comment? It means that I'm actually playing it while writing the stateme... eh, never mind. So much for ironic humor ^_^()

Anywho, I love dice a roo too... I once even got up to the silver dice and won two lottery tickets (none of 'em won (grumble) ).
