Forknife

The source of all that is wrong with current gaming
== Origins ==
Forknife's history is old, being first mentioned in the Council on February 23, 2018, in the hangout, by Sly Frog Fry. Meme Lord had sent a flurry of memes, one of them making fun of Forknife as it had recently gotten popular and replaced Fidget Spinners as the new popular goober thing. Funnily enough, Meme Lord at the time said it wasn't that fun, as at the time he had played it only one time (and this would remain, to date, the only time). It would be mentioned one other time in the Hangout, on 3/15/2018, when Meme Lord asked the Council who played it, Alex stating Duong played it. Since this was far, far before The Snazzmaster's time in the Council, truly nobody played it at this point.
Forknife would slowly grow into being pretty much the ultimate form of all things cringe and bad, in the Council, gaming, and memes in general. It became a recurring theme to make fun of Forknife in memes, and it quickly became attributed to small, annoying goblin rat children. Nobody in the Council really played the game frequently, besides being infrequently enjoyed by Spooderman the No U King and Tino. It wasn't until The Snazzmaster joined that things would change, as The Snazzmaster was an unironic superfan of Forknife, playing it frequently and spending a ghastly amount of vbucks on the game. The Snazzmaster would be bullied for this relentlessly until this day, but still he enjoys that accursed game.
On 3/5/2019, Mike Kachowski would, now infamously, refer to the game as "forknife" for the first time. From this point forth the game was almost always referred to as this, or alternatively "Fork Knife", "Forkknife", or the fork_and_knife emoji. By 2021, Forknife was no longer the boogeyman of memes and gaming, but rather just a numbing, ever present bane on reality itself. It would no longer be used as the butt of jokes in memes but instead only referenced when they'd add some new IP to the game, such as Transformers and Dune. 
WMD would also prove to be an unironic Forknife enjoyer, when he eventually joined the Council. He still occasionally plays it to this day.

Forknife, despite being the worst thing ever, still made its way ironically into many facets of the Council. Megamind, of course, responds to every mention of the game with "forknife". In the Megameme pack, zombies are replaced with the default Forknife skin, complete with Chug Jug lyrics as their sounds. Additionally, the drowned are replaced with Ninja, as per his Forknife addiction and popularity.
One of Meme Lord's first youp poop videos was BOB from Monsters vs Aliens getting a victory royale. Mike Kachowski additionally uses "im getting titled towers" slang in reference to of course, Forknife. In Fredwars, goblin rat children often use Forknife tactics in combat, feverishly placing blocks all around them like schizos whenever they get near an enemy, thus besides the Council/Software Club adopting the phrase "they're forniting", they will also cleverly make fun of these players in chat for doing so, such as stating that they clicked the wrong desktop icon after confusing Block Game for Forknife. Gunwars is, thankfully, seen as the solution to this, as players can no longer build tumors to defend themselves and just get shot instead, much to their intense frustration and the Council's joy.
The most recent Council moment with this horrid game would be the memeyness of Peter Griffin being added to the game, but this also ironically died off quickly.
== Legacy ==
Forknife will perhaps never get its redemption, and it probably shouldn't. As the years go on and the game ever grows in size, it corrupts its playerbase, children, and the gaming industry, being the catalyst of live-service games and battle royale type games. Many games and corporations have desperately tried to copy Forknife's success, because if they make even one successful game, it has the potential to repay them in any amount spent on actual released games. Thus Meme Lord and Mike Kachowski in particular vehemently hate Forknife, and thankfully since Block Game has rose in popularity, beating Forknife back in 2020, Forknife has grown far less popular, but is still an ever-present bane on gaming.
