Nintendo 3DS's Antipiracy Killswitch

Fkn0wned's own Founder asks how to dodge Nintendo's 3DS brick-hammer, right at console launch week

A short 2011 thread from Gaming General where forum Founder f0wh asks whether the 3DS's rumored anti-piracy kill-switch is real, and how it might affect flashcart use like Acekard. Member Grim confirms Nintendo could brick consoles suspected of piracy, and the two go back and forth on whether Acekard-style carts had already been adapted for the new handheld and whether the 3DS's DS-based architecture made detection easier or harder. The tone is casual scene chatter typical of the era — cautious optimism about workarounds mixed with real worry that Nintendo would eventually nuke everyone's Action Replay and flashcart setups.

Your 3DS can be bricked at any time Nintendo believes you are pirating.— Grim

Goodbye actionreplay and goodbye compact cart storage :(— f0wh

The Official Post Your Gamertag Thread (Live, PSN, Steam)

The thread where fkn0wned regulars traded PSN/XBL/Steam IDs to squad up back in 2011

A simple community-building thread in Gaming General where members dropped their Xbox Live, PSN, and Steam usernames so others could add them for co-op sessions. Started by VIP member FR3QU3NCY and joined by a mix of VIPs, 1K Club members, FkN Crew, and regular members over the course of about a month (June-July 2011). It's a low-drama, functional thread that captures the casual, friendly side of the forum where people just wanted to game together.

Post yours!— FR3QU3NCY

Battlefield 3 Multiplayer Trailer Hype Thread

EA drops the BF3 multiplayer trailer and the crew starts pricing out new rigs on the spot

A July 2011 news post shares EA's newly released Battlefield 3 multiplayer trailer, noting its E3 award haul and the game's October 28 release with a September beta. The thread is short and casual, with members debating whether a flash at 0:45 was a laser sight or tracer round, gushing over the footage, and one member detailing a hefty PC upgrade (i5-2500k, GTX 570, SSD) just to be ready for it. Classic pre-release hype thread capturing the community's genuine excitement for a big-name shooter.

This video makes me wanna go suck a dick to get into that beta— [FkN] NIX

i went i5-2500k gtx570 8gig 120gb ssd for this game— [FkN] ProVocation

Beat Hazard - Suicidal Difficulty Youtube Videos

Two forum regulars try to survive Beat Hazard on suicidal difficulty and film the chaos for YouTube

A member named miekski announces a YouTube series with a friend (r1sex) playing the game Beat Hazard on suicidal difficulty at 200% intensity, inviting subs and song requests. The thread is short and lighthearted, with a few regulars chiming in with reactions, quoting a funny in-video moment, and requesting the song 'Through The Fire and Flames' for a future episode. It's a small, casual slice of the gaming board rather than any major event, just members hyping up a fellow member's content.

Oh fuck a duck (2:40)— [FkN] ap3x

Holy fuck this makes me want to buy the damn game!— [1K] mystical

We are playing suicidal, can't get any harder than that— miekski

What do you want? — shaping the Gaming General section

Crew leader Nick asked the community what they wanted from Gaming General — a small, telling snapshot of a forum still figuring itself out.

A [FkN] Crew member, Nick, opened this thread in mid-2011 asking the Gaming General subforum what kind of content people wanted — platforms (PC/Xbox/PS3), game reviews, tutorials, that sort of thing. A handful of regulars chimed in with quick preferences: PC by default, some PS3 love, shooters, and a suggestion to use game reviews to funnel traffic into the warez section. It's a modest, low-drama thread, but a nice little time capsule of how the admins crowdsourced direction for the board back when the forum was still actively growing.

What do you guys want in this section? What type of games? Pc, Xbox, Ps3?— [FkN] Nick

Some game reviews would be awesome, user made and picked off of other sites... it could also make the warez section more popular— SneekerN

Well PS3 shooters would be awesome. Also,some hacks or mods like CFWs for the PS3 would be really ok.— [VIP] r0ck

Through the Years of Halo

One member drops a full Master Chief evolution gallery — including a mystery DS-era design — and dares the room to name them all.

A quick, casual image-dump thread in Gaming General where forum regular [FkN] Nick (aka 'Mr Australia') posted a spoilered gallery of Master Chief's armor designs through Halo's history, sourced from an IGN visual-history feature. He challenged others to identify which games each design came from, teasing that a few were from unreleased builds and one even from a DS version. It's a light, nostalgic fan-trivia post rather than a debate or drama thread — the kind of low-stakes gaming banter that filled the board between the cheat-release and giveaway threads.

I cant be botherd naming them all :P See if you can guess what their from! Some of them are from unreleased version, even one from DS ;)— [FkN] Nick

SSX Live Gameplay

One member's nostalgic drop of SSX gameplay footage in the Gaming General section

A single post from '[FkN] Nick', a longtime member with 'Crew' status and nearly 2,000 posts, sharing gameplay footage of the snowboarding game SSX. He reminisces about loving it as a kid and shares a link comparing the new version to the original. It's a quiet, low-key nostalgia post rather than a big discussion, with no replies recorded.

Fucking loved this game as a kid, worthy of you guys seeing it now.— [FkN] Nick

Gaming General board index — June 2011 E3 trailer dump

The week E3 2011 hit and Gaming General turned into a wall-to-wall trailer dump for BF3, Halo 4, Tomb Raider and everything else

This is a board-index snapshot of the Gaming General subforum on Fkn0wned, mostly frozen around the E3 2011 news cycle. Regulars like mystical and QuaXz flooded the board with trailer posts for that year's big reveals — Battlefield 3, Halo 4, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Ninja Gaiden 3, Dead Island, and a slew of others — while mati3341 seems to have replied to nearly every single one in quick succession. Mixed in are a couple of console/anti-piracy chat threads and stray cheat-adjacent crossposts (TF2 and DoD:S hack update notices) that show this 'gaming' board sat right next to Fkn0wned's cheat-scene sections. A lighthearted community suggestion thread asking for a custom Super Mario World mod for the site caps off the page, giving a glimpse of the forum's more playful, community-driven side outside the news grind.

Anyone want fkn0wned to have it's own version of SUper Mario World?— attheshows
