A spork is a program that when run will fuck up your hard drive.

I mostly heard of it during the Counter Strike Source days in reference to the troll clan myg0t.

People would try to join and ask for hax only to download and run sporks.

I don't think I've heard of that. The only spork I know of is a combination of a spoon and a fork, there's also the spife and knork.

No it was a bug of some sort with the installer, never found out how it was caused. I will have to ask around.

A spork is also an eating utensil often used by people too lazy to chew their own food.

I remember that. Not that it bothered me at all but I was seriously disappointed that the game has a hardcoded 30FPS limit that also is tied to the engine speed so whatever trick to unlock it to let's say 60FPS would speed up the game twice as fast. Ugh..

yeah I'm mad about Arkham Knight.

that just wasn't right.

That was an extraordinary level of bullshit. Cue the would not have happened in de old days rant.

Fuckin hell it's almost a Driv3r level of busted.

Did it ever actually get fixed? Or did Steam take a net loss from all the refunds?

Final Fantasy 4 GBA (1.0):

There was a nasty glitch that could corrupt saves. It worked something like this (and only if you had something less than a full party):

1. Use an item on someone
2. Swap that character with an empty slot
3. Select the item command without leaving the menu

Congratulations! The game has crashed horribly and you have just lost some saves!

The game was actually rushed to be released before the holiday season, and it showed. The US version was released at about the same time as the Japanese 1.0 version; the US never got 1.1 which had many of the bugs fixed. Europe got the game later, but at least they got 1.1. (Conclusion: It is better to import the European version than to get the US version.)

The Dark Spire (Nintendo DS):

There is a place in the dungeon where you can donate money. In the Japanese version, if you donate all your money, and then donate more money, your money will go negative. If you save at this point, the game will see the negative money in the save file and go "that can't happen" and treat the save as corrupted. On the other hand, if you donate all your money while it's negative, you can prevent this while getting a ludicrous amount of money for the character giving the donation.

In the US version, you can't do this; the game will not let you donate after donating all your money (which makes sense, of course). I believe this is not the only bug that was fixed.

I have actually seen a Japanese wiki recommend the US version if you don't mind the game being in English rather than Japanese.
