Spaff Updates Mojo Shock 06 Sep, 2002 / Comments: 46


It was revealed today that the once familiar "Spaff" was today found updating news and taking an active part in the running of Mojo.

Community members were sent reeling in horror as the 5 letters spelling the name were read by crowds of adventure hungry and Mojo "friendly" "readers."

What could just be a sick joke by perverted Mojo staff, could also be the most exciting piece of news since that one the other day that you can't remember.

    Matt!! Where have you been?

    Is it just me or has Mixnmojo gotten from good to worse. It's a shame that during a period of one year the site has create loads of unintersting articles and become a slave to promote every Lucas Arts product there is, even if it stinks. I thought the site did have some critical views, but I guess the quote "Mixnmojo - a subcomapany under Lucas Arts" goes for the current status of the site. And let's not forget commercial bit. I know that the site needs funding, but at least have the decency to have commericals that's from the gaming industry or something likewise.

    OK, Captain Mystery. His next article. Bringing down MOJO.
    ohhh just kidding.
  • spaff on 09 Sep, 2002, 04:10…
    No, he is completley correct and i agree with you. Mojo has beocme boring and it needs to not be any more.

    I have been really uninspired by mojo for a while, hence ive not been around.

    But i am not prepared to let it become a crappy website and so we are goin to inject some fun into the site. First off a big contest. and then some serious thoughts about staffing and getting some humour and fun back into the community.

    as for advertising, i am desperatley trying to get the pop ups reduced because they annoy me more than any of you i guarantee.

    Spaff, I'll kick your ass. You'd better watch yourself. You'll be careful. You'll be dead!!

    Hey Nolan and Hey Spaff - Well, I know what you mean ... although I have a site hosted here on mojo (it's closed right now but it'll return before christmas) I have to admit that the motivation to return here just to read or to post a post like this one faded away in the last months...

    maybe it's just me. maybe it's because LEC isn't producing a lot of good games, anymore. ... or because you get to hear that your grammar isn't correct when you critizise anything. (it's happening again and again - in bad ways - when someones mother tongue isn't english then you have to try your best to figure out what he means and to be glad that you are able to communicate with him/her - otherwise you are a grammar-racist ... or something like that :) )

    ... but (!!) - there was interesting stuff going on, too! don't let's forget cool psychonauts preview, mojo's visits to LEC and DoubleFine or the cool memories of mr. Aric Wilmunder. The New Church of Tim (yes I DO believe).

    BTW the popups that i really hate are these USarmy promotions - Every sane person has to be disgusted by army-popups. urgh.

    However, you kids (at least you talk like kids bgbennyboy and NeuroticJuicer) should not feel pissed just because someone thinks that your favourite website isn't as cool and mojoesque as it used to be. Don't play agressive like you'd get an award for it. always agression - men, you should join captain mystery. he sails the sea of agression and unfriendliness and - clever or not - it's his right to do so.

    whatever ... gotta scoot
  • matt on 09 Sep, 2002, 12:31…
    where's my edit button? damn - well seems the time pressure caused one hard to understand sentence there. it should be:
    let's not forget the cool psychonauts preview ... yada yada yda


    edit: well, now it works - anyway, it's too late now... just imagine that this post doesn't exist and that the original one has been edited like this one told you - so imagine that this one doesn't exist AFTER you transferred the corrected line into the original post (in your mind). otherwise it would still be wrong, you know? tough.
  • Kingzjester on 09 Sep, 2002, 15:58…
    Err? I can't understand single a thing you just said -- go back to whence you came, you sorry pseudoanglophone! Piss off!




    ...



    Just kidding, bro.S:}D
  • matt on 10 Sep, 2002, 02:21…
    man, you know how to shock me :)
  • tabacco on 08 Sep, 2002, 11:48…
    Oh, go get a life.
  • bgbennyboy on 08 Sep, 2002, 11:27…
    Well piss off and dont visit then.
    And yes, it is just you.
  • Nolan on 08 Sep, 2002, 11:48…
    Sorry to disapoint you, but the site has lost many of it's original vistors the past year. Maybe I'm just one that care to tell And I'd like to hand out information on what the site could improve. Yes, I would even care to write a summary on what to improve. I am a LEC fan, but as always when someone thinks different they have to burn. You're either Good or Evil, nothing could be in between according to the policy from many members of this board.

    Piss off? That tells me exactly how you are. Unchangeable.
  • bgbennyboy on 08 Sep, 2002, 15:50…
    Piss-off is short and to the point.
    You cannot possibly speak for or 'know' that mojo has lost many of its original visitors.
    Im sure that constructive criticism will always be helpful to mojo, however im equally sure than destructive criticism wont.
    You want things to change? - fine, but moaning wont achieve anything. Mojo is free and is run by fans, it doesnt owe anyone anything. It annoyed me that you were criticising mojo in such an unconstructive and negative way - hence the piss off.
  • NeuroticJuicer on 08 Sep, 2002, 13:06…
    at least most of us know how to use the words "it's" and "its" in their correct places.
  • Nolan on 08 Sep, 2002, 13:18…
    I'm not a native tongue, so that imformation wasn't at all bad. Thanks for the tip. So why aren't you guys defending mojo and aruge instead of trying to agitate me. As you might have guessed, it's to no use. I'm curious on what people think of the site and what have become of it without trying to argue about me as person and my grammar mistakes. I'd don't care what you think of me or my grammar mistakes. All I'm intersted in is to try to get some serious responses and an ungoing discussion. Maybe this is a sign that the common mojo visitor doesn't crave for much on this site.
  • bgbennyboy on 08 Sep, 2002, 15:53…
    This is a sign that most mojo visitors save big discussions like this for the forums.
  • Calvinh on 08 Sep, 2002, 13:46…
    Sure, I've heard that some people left the community and stopped visit this site. What I suggest is that you send a mail to the staff and see what happens. Sarcasm or not it may help if you give your 'secret' information to the staff. I think it's a good thing that people care enough about this site that they actually make lists on things that could be improved. Lets hear it now.
  • Kingzjester on 08 Sep, 2002, 11:08…
    You're funny. Hey people, this guy's funny! He's funny. When I think of funny I think of Nolan. And when I think of Nolan I think of Memento and Insomnia -- but that is an altogether different story. You're so very imensely funny, man.
  • Nolan on 08 Sep, 2002, 11:18…
    Good.
  • Jake on 07 Sep, 2002, 13:27…
    Calm down everyone. I'm sure it was just some fluke. This "spaff" anomaly shouldn't occur again for some time.
  • Crocodilic on 07 Sep, 2002, 05:57…
    For some reason I thought that said Spaff updates Mojo socks. Seems as news worthy too heh.
  • scabb on 07 Sep, 2002, 05:15…
    HEE :)

    Edit: OMG Skyfox is in #monkey-island - This is MIGHTY suspicious
  • matt on 07 Sep, 2002, 03:16…

  • QueZTone on 06 Sep, 2002, 17:49…
    shock the monkey!
  • Gabez on 06 Sep, 2002, 17:11…
    Yes. And I like the new banner background!
  • Jake on 06 Sep, 2002, 17:32…
    What new banner background?
  • Gabez on 07 Sep, 2002, 08:17…
    Um, this one?
  • Marek on 07 Sep, 2002, 11:33…
    You didn't see that.
  • Scummbuddy on 07 Sep, 2002, 12:26…
    Are you guys up to something??
  • chuzwuzza on 08 Sep, 2002, 05:10…
    That's not new, that's been like that for ages. Not that I'd take away from ad money or anything...
  • Mad Lord Snapcase on 06 Sep, 2002, 16:31…
    So you're the new guy, right?
  • Marek on 06 Sep, 2002, 15:36…
    Hey?! Who are you acting like you own the place or something??? ? ?
  • Kingzjester on 06 Sep, 2002, 15:31…
    Who the hell do you think you are, boy-o? Waltzing off the street and posting news on our beloved Mojo? Now scram! Shoo! Be gone!
  • Scummbuddy on 07 Sep, 2002, 12:26…
    Gosh, I hope you're kidding.
  • Kingzjester on 07 Sep, 2002, 12:44…
    Gosh, I never kid, Gosh. Gosh? I hate that word, "Gosh" -- reeks of censored-for-the-sake-of-morality American TV from the fifties, Gosh... Gosh... Ew... Gee-wiz... Heck...
  • Scummbuddy on 07 Sep, 2002, 15:14…
    After I wrote it, I was wondering if I was going to get made fun of. I was right. :) Golly
  • Kingzjester on 07 Sep, 2002, 20:45…
    HAHHAhhahahhhhh... I'm becoming predictable:})
  • tabacco on 06 Sep, 2002, 15:22…
    Say it ain't so!!!
  • JBRAA on 06 Sep, 2002, 15:18…
    hee! :D
    !!!! *shock*
  • bgbennyboy on 06 Sep, 2002, 14:02…
    Oh come on, we all know that Spaff doesnt exist hes just Jake's evil alter-ego
  • csenosiain on 06 Sep, 2002, 17:52…
    hes not jakes evil alter ego

    hes probably jakes evil clone
  • ZeroXcape on 06 Sep, 2002, 15:23…
    I always thought Jake didn't exist and that he was simply a script that DJG put together to emulate another staff member. Fooled me...
  • PTDC on 06 Sep, 2002, 14:15…
    The left twin is invariably the evil one. Hey... Jake's scar is on the wrong side. Aiee!
  • Jake on 06 Sep, 2002, 14:12…
    ? ?
  • Deez on 06 Sep, 2002, 13:58…
    No Diggity! Mine eyes have seen the glory.
