NFG

[phreak97]

i've been wondering, what does NFG actually stand for? i was thinking it was something to do with neo geo.. but then the f doesnt make sense..
also where did the SX come from in GameSX? or is it just there to look/sound good?

I used to be 'NeoGeoMan', but I got sick of other neo fans being such retards, so I changed it.  Also, when I worked with my dad we'd write "NFG" on dead equipment so we'd know it was No Good.  It seemed apropos to mix up the two.  And now that I think about it, my middle name starts with an F.

As for GameSX, I owned a game store called Game Station X.

Side note.

Game Station X was pretty much the first import game store I ever saw on the Internet. Probably...circa 1995-1996.

I remember thinking it was the coolest thing ever. I so wanted to visit it.

At first sight I always took it to mean "Neo Fucking Geo." Hmm.

Endymion, thats what i thought, and am still thinking:P writing nfg on dead equipment says to me "No F***ing Good" though if thats what lawrence was getting at, i'd say he was avoiding saying it as bluntly as you did:P
any comments lawrence?

The one lasting image for me of the store, apart from using the N64 as a doorstop, was of the big TV out the front on that summer evening.
I wanted to visit too.

It's a collection that I put together over a year's time. Some of them I made up myself but the majority came from many others in IRC. :lol:
