[Admiral Rimjob POOBUM]

Facepalm is a 4chan meme, "in before Retardo" is a variant of "in before the lock", a net-wide meme. I think butthurt is a 4chan thing as well.

 

[Ausir]

You have to equip the ring.

 

[Texas Red]

Piracy is not wrong because nothing physical is being taken from an inventory.

For the lulz

 

[ixg]

:emote: is pretty :dac:

 

[Black_Willow]

Your game is nothing compared to Starcraft 2

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TOTALLY AVOID COMBAT IN FALLOUT

 

[barker_s]

Volournian LOLLERSKATES used to be inseparable addition to R00fles some time ago.

Cocks n' Glocks.

1/ "Failure/success of the free market" (in contexts having nothing to do with economics)

Source: Kodex libertarians / Sarvis?

2/ The routine use of 'Site Feedback' for General Discussion topics...

 

[Nicolai]

:emote: is pretty :dac:

Yeah, that's definitely from DAC/IRC. Don't know where OP got the volourn stuff from.

 

[dagorkan]

:honorblade: is the earliest use of that I can remember, I think it spread to other things later

 

[TalesfromtheCrypt]

Honorblade was not the first xx:

I invented :honourblade: (just search for the term, I was the first one to use it) and I definatly draw inspiration from earlier use of :insertemoticonhere:

I think the most clasic ones are and :che: originating from DaC and used as a substitue for the codex doesn't have these emoticons.

 

[Dire Roach]

You misspelled the word "HEAVAN".

Also:

-Excessive use of goatse, tubgirl
-What is an RPG? Tyranny of choices and consequences
-teh grafix, needs moar bloom
-Rat diplomacy, Andharia gif
-We are all alts of KC
-Prestigious RPG Codex magazine
-"Biowhore", "Bethtards", and many more hate-related buzzwords I can't remember at the moment.

 

[Occasionally Fatal]

i vote this gets stickied if all the stuff gets compiled neatly into the first post.

 

[Lumpy]

Volournian catchphrases: R00fles, Game Over, Why do you lie?

Neo-kingcomradian stuff:
Enjoy your fake nonchalance.
I have already won the argument, have fun pretending.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Blackhart and those like him. Nuff said.

 

[Ausir]

No more free rides.

 

[IlkuWarrior]

Plane tickets?

 

[Sovy Kurosei]

The photoshopped Oblivion propaganda pictures.

 

[cardtrick]

Decline of the Codex (I know the OP had it as an emote, but it deserves it's own category)

Nazis/Cleve Blakemore

"Hivemind"

EDIT: And let me also take this moment to turn this thread into a poll for our favorites of these Codex fads. Let's say we choose our top 3? Mine:

1) Plane tickets, bitch (and also anything else to do with Roqua, who is my hero)

2) Equipping the ring

3)
