Is it really that hard to spell out the name the first time, then use an acronym for the rest of the thread?

It's kind of like a pronoun: say the noun once, then use a pronoun for as long as you need afterward.

Example:

Yo Doods, check out the sweet Circus Voltaire I just picked up!

Yeah buddy, that CV is HOT yo!

Thanks pal, CV is is in my Fav 5 fo sho.

...don't call me pal, guy

Sometimes it's for the sake of brevity, but as often it's to perpetuate the silly secret handshake crap. What?! You don't know what a TAF is? (noob implied)

God I hate when people don't spell out games. Don't make me try to guess or think back what a "CV" is. Now if you said TZ than that would be ok.

CV came out AFTER TZ ...duuuuh.

I played it the other day in visual pinball. It's 100 percent out there. I have vpin on my mame cab and I played it right after I read about the sale....

Cool. Thanks for letting me know.
I'll check it out.

duuh? TZ is a very well known abbrv. much more than CV. Has nothing to do with what came out first. LOTR or CFTBL have multiples that make it easy to deciper. Guess what game SS is?

I'm not sure how much profit you could make on a pinball with a price like that.

I don't think profit is the issue.It's a one of a kind machine.

That poor sucker. Hope he or she has enough money to manufacture their own spare parts or con Stern into making the tooling for them. Sometimes it's better to just dream about owning that fantasy machine.................................
