Dudebro: My Shit is Fucked Up So I Got To Shoot/Slice You II: It's Straight-Up Dawg Time

Dudebro: My Shit is Fucked Up So I Got to Shoot/Slice You II – It's Straight-Up Dawg Time (Dudebro: MSIFUSIGTS/SY II: ISUDT) is a game collectively in development by members of the NeoGAF gaming forum. Its origin can be traced back to a thread where cuyahoga was talking about his experiences with the DS game "Imagine: Babyz Fashion." After receiving numerous insults/accusations of being a pedophile, he made the following post:

cuyahoga makes a thread about Imagine: Babyz Fashion, posts one blurry pic and no impressions.

Arpharmd B accuses cuyahoga of being a pedophile.

cuyahoga asks Arpharmd B if he's a pedophile just because he isn't playing "Dudebro: My Shit Is Fucked Up So I Got to Shoot/Slice You II: It's Straight-Up Dawg Time", a title he made up on the spot.

A couple of posters quote cuyahoga's made-up title and note that it sounds like a fun game.

A few photoshops of a theoretical Dudebro game appear.
