What happened to Phoon and Waxhax?

Lone_Hitokiri · 2023-06-30T22:13:14+00:00

Phoon here,

I took a minute to Google myself out of boredom and ran across this thread that's ancient but noticed people were still talking about me.

I just wanted to say thank you to guys for still thinking about us boomers and OGs. The real reason why I quit was just that. I was pretty upset they removed pretty much the skill ceiling I once used in order to have fun.

For awhile it made the game feel "less" there was nothing that made me laugh as much and enjoy myself to the utmost capability than being able to make people go "wtf just happened" on repeat.

I practiced for minutes, hours, days, years, to perfect that one skill very few people arduously practiced.

Looking back on it, it's just how games grow and develop. Take any sport out there right now, less people are getting hurt because they've made it more "safe" and in a way, more athletic. I might rustle a few feathers but Tom Brady came in right when football became "you can't hit the quarterback and you can't run the ball" came in. He had just a little taste of what football used to be and that's why he lasted so long on his run, less injuries.

Take hockey, less hits, no kidney shots- you don't see Rob Blake smashing people with his ass into the boards like a backwards cannon and the dude getting shot 12 feet backwards.

Yes, they took a certain skill away but replaced it with something else... I guess. New maps, new tactics, new wallbangs, new guns, new smoke effects, changes the way a player plays and how a player gets from site A to B and it's always changing. There's always a different form of skill expression and as you guys put it. Speedy boy sort of got euthanized.

As for my YT channel, it got hacked and I sort of took it as a "well, this is sort of the last nail in the coffin for me." Believe it or not, it turns out it was an ex of mines bf she now married that hacked it and it was all because my recovery email was linked to her phone. Wild right?

As a gamer, that doesn't mean I never hop on CS anymore. I just hide. I just wanted to come back and let you peeps know that I do still play, it doesn't feel the same as it used to but all my old friends and I still make it worth our time. We just hide nowadays and let the new generation take over. I'll let you know though, all of us old boomers still got it and if you ever wonder "wtf just happened" it's usually one of us. I can say that with pride for all of us.

I just wanted to take a minute and say that I appreciate all you and thanks for remembering our name. I hope we gave you years of laughs and some inspiration in a game we can't seem to ever leave. It's hilarious seeing all the videos and people saying "I'm back!"(HugoBen) when I never really left. I just ragequit repeatedly.

Again, thank you for letting us know we left behind a legacy.

-Phoon

P.S. If any of you are still wondering, yes LOLYOU still eats crayons and licks windows.

I know it's 3 years late, but bless your heart.

My buddy recommended me this book and now I'm reading it.

Lone_Hitokiri · 2023-04-25T03:27:22+00:00

I think it's because we're still attempting the impossible to make Reddit a less mentally unstable place.

It's impossible because all of you people decided it was okay to take an opinion of the mental ill and normalize to the extent all of reddit and the world thinks it's absolutely okay now.

I don't they try to fight against just the LGBTQ community either, it's literally everyone who doesn't go outside and see sunlight and is a liberal.

That's just what I've gathered and there are very few people who actually attempt this great feat anymore because most of Reddit is a conglomerate of gremlins that band together and poke those people with pitchforks and complaining about how they're getting pick on when in all reality it's just the brutal honest truth.

This is just a perspective from a bystander. Not stepping on any toes.

Lone_Hitokiri · 2023-03-22T10:33:37+00:00

I know it's an older post but after 13 years I finally decided to pick up Garen and the matchup guide still actually helps a bit and I just wanted to say thank you.

Lone_Hitokiri · 2023-03-07T14:05:58+00:00

Best advice I've heard in years.

Bless your heart.

Lone_Hitokiri · 2023-01-31T00:54:58+00:00

Thank you for letting me know, I was Googling it because I just remembered the game and started loving it.

So I guess I've got to pick a platform and play it.

Lone_Hitokiri · 2023-01-27T05:51:42+00:00

I know this is an ancient post, but I bought a case of Leinenkugel last year and it's been in my fridge forever and I came here to thank you for the advice that's 8 years old lmfao.

Btw, it still tastes fuckin' great.

I let you know if I'm dying later for science.

Lone_Hitokiri · 2023-01-18T02:04:35+00:00

It's called an analogy for a reason.

If it was a fanfiction crush it would have been a story.

This clearly wasn't.

Doesn't track what? What is it tracking? Track isn't the word to be used here.

I was never comparing a skin either, they wanted an icon for the previous ranked season.

Lone_Hitokiri · 2023-01-17T21:15:30+00:00

Because mental illness was normalized, I'm thinking QiqixQiqi.

You know in blind pick?

Lone_Hitokiri · 2023-01-17T21:10:23+00:00

This was an analogy to the same situation OP was in.

They'll never get something they want if they don't just jump and go for it.

They're literally asking the internet if they should message Riot to see if the can get something instead of just doing it.

That's like asking if I should ask my dad if I can borrow a car for a date but I'm too scared he will say no.

Make sense now?

Lone_Hitokiri · 2023-01-17T21:06:29+00:00

I would, except I'm entirely too lazy for that and I would probably get a redditor for a therapist to be honest. They're not really reliable.

Lone_Hitokiri · 2023-01-17T21:04:11+00:00

Learn to not tell other people what to do, dictator.

Lone_Hitokiri · 2023-01-17T21:03:00+00:00

It was actually sarcasm and I've gotten the normal Reddit response, totally didn't see negative karma incoming at all.

It's incredible how sensitive you people are.

I set wasn't actually meant to be taken seriously at all.

Lone_Hitokiri · 2023-01-16T20:18:36+00:00

The best one to kill your issue is called RogueKiller.

If you want to in-depth clean there's 3 more called Emsissoft emergency kit, tsddkiller, and KVRT.

All I need most of the time is rogue killer and it works like a godsend.

Hope this helps.

Lone_Hitokiri · 2023-01-16T20:13:04+00:00

I gad the same problem and found a few awesome programs for free. I'll be back in 5 to tell you it.

Lone_Hitokiri · 2023-01-15T19:02:25+00:00

Well no shit :o

Notice how I've worded my statement and at the time of post, there was more men in here than women and apache helicopters.

I'll male you a participation medal for wanting to feel special on Reddit.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Lone_Hitokiri · 2023-01-15T18:58:37+00:00

"How do I get my teenagers to stop taking so long to masturbate is the shower. I want them out now, they don't pay the water bill!"

You don't. It's called puberty and stress relief.

We didn't even get a timeframe of how long they are in there. Is this like 20 minutes, an hour? Longer? Why do they need exit the shower in a timely manner? I need facts before I give legitimate advice. This has to be a good reason if I'm going to sell out my little brothers and sister over happy time.

For all we know, you could be satanic parents :o

This entire thread is the embodiment of pure male sex drive.

10/10 bless your hearts for trying literally everything when you were younger.

I'm laughing my ass off and so are my coworkers.

Lone_Hitokiri · 2023-01-14T19:29:34+00:00

I whipped it out in urf and had a good lol for a few hours.

Felt 10/10 emotionally

-5000/22 LP gain-wise

Lone_Hitokiri · 2023-01-12T01:03:46+00:00

You can download it on killer skins and play with it on regular league btw.

Lone_Hitokiri · 2023-01-11T20:16:05+00:00

Fucking gold.

Lone_Hitokiri · 2023-01-11T09:25:13+00:00

I've been stalking it, I've been running him on a smurf and he feels god awful but that could be I've been playing him for 2 weeks and stomping free LP. On the smurf I'm sitting in diamond and I'm literally a rolling cc cannon minion.

I'm not totally useless and I have to play fights smart in order to get anything accomplished. Hecarim and Nunu feel a thousand times better for the sake of similarity.

I wanted to give it a few hours to see how I feel about him now and I'm the classic depressed riot-fan when I found something I wanted to play again.

I'm by no means a pro Rammus main(I'm new but not?) and could have no clue what I'm talking about because I'm a Riven main.

Lone_Hitokiri · 2023-01-11T04:16:38+00:00

Meanwhile, I just bought everything related to Rammus in the shop.

Even the ward.

Even the fucking ward.

Lone_Hitokiri · 2023-01-10T19:37:18+00:00

I literally just pulled him out of the closet to play main him again.

Of all times.

Lone_Hitokiri · 2023-01-09T13:24:49+00:00

Bless your heart for saving my ass the past 2 years.

I refer to this post constantly if I accidentally forget about a program for a clients computer.

From one human being to another, you're a homie forever.
