What does SP stand for in Gamboy AdvanceSP

? (just wondering

)

feisar · 11-04-2003, 08:39 AM

probably special. although at work SP stands for smart price, a truely horrid range of cheap nasty products manafactured for a supermarket.

*Stinger* · 11-04-2003, 08:51 AM

It stands for "the buttons are too close together, it's ugly, and I'd rather buy the cheaper original that looks much better anyway."

I might be wrong, though.

Last time I checked, "SP" stood for "Evan is a bitter bitter hater."

Special?

remixor · 11-04-2003, 12:55 PM

I really like the SP. I have fairly enormous hands (compared to most people) and the buttons are fine for me. What really does it is the fact that you can close it up (no scratches, ever!) and more than anything the BACKLIGHTER. Praise the Lord! No huge cumbersome aftermarket kit and the ability to play in rather low-light conditions.

thx guys

Enormous feet and enormous hands, remix0r?! What are you, some kind of crazy giant?

How tall are you, 8ft?

remixor · 11-04-2003, 10:40 PM

No, that's the absurd part. I'm 5'4". I happen to have been born with a particularly extreme case of scoliosis, which essentially makes my torso much shorter than it should be. Everyone else in my family is over 6 feet (including my 4-years-younger-than-I brother), so I still inherited the big hands and feet, long legs, and deep voice (I have the lowest range of anyone in any of my music classes, for example). Sigh... The biggest problem is the stupid social custom that the male must be as tall as or taller than the female.

You forgot the mention the short neck... (Sorry, I couldn't resist. I missed the whole neck-mocking thing in its first incarnation, so I just had to

). I'm pretty short too, I'm about 5'6" or 7, although I have very very small hands, almost girlishly so

Well, here on AG it never reached the absurdly enormous magnitude it did on the AGS forums, and let's hope it stays that way.

I have to say, though, that Farl guessed it right when he told Roger what to say about me...

Ha! I laugh!

Hmm... didn't reach quite that magnitude eh? * AGA starts a campaign.

remixor · 11-04-2003, 11:11 PM

Oh no you don't!

AGA · 11-04-2003, 11:14 PM

* AGA starts a 'ban remix0r from the forums, he's got 1000 posts in less than 2 months' campaign.

remixor · 11-04-2003, 11:37 PM

Hey! That's got nothing to do with my neck!

I said I was starting a campaign, I didn't mention a campaign about necks! What do you think I am, neckist?

Garyos · 11-05-2003, 03:26 AM

Wow, that's a lot of posts, remix! You short-necks really have a lot of spare time....

AGA · 11-05-2003, 03:55 AM
