Created by the 3 guys behind the Mostly Walking show, Sean Plott, Bill Graner and Sean Bouchard whilst/after playing an adventure game called Return to Zork.
The game, as some other games from that era, is infamous for one thing, it's easy to become unable to further progress in the game, due to your actions, without realizing it much later/at all.
Example: On the first screen, you have to obtain a plant. There are many ways to do so, but only one is the right one, and any other choice will lead you to a fail state, therefore being unable to complete the game, WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT, until you get to the part where you need to use the plant.
Other example: further in the game, you have to cross the river, by summoning the ferryman. And he won't let you ride for free, of course. You need a special coin. The thing is, you just have to SHOW it to the ferryman and he will still take you to the other side, instead of giving it to him. If you give it to him, you are still able to explore the other side of the river, but by the time you want to cross the river and return to the first area, only then will you realize your mistake. You no longer have the coin, so he won't take you back.
Therefore, adopted from the game's name "Return to Zork", comes the term (being) "zorked". It basically means "screwed".

I spent all my money on this new game and now I'm broke, I might have zorked myself.

B: In my book, she totally zorked on you.

Get the Zorked mug.A person’s vigorous and undying loyalty of something they know is bad or low quality, yet they continue to support it in futile hope that their favorite celebrity, television show, place, ect. may someday recover from its lowest point; either out of pity, nostalgic attachment, or everlasting love to the thing, they refuse to accept the reality that the light of their light ended up being so poorly conceived, like a beloved television show that started out as an amazing concept with gorgeous animation and complex characters slowly devolving into nothing but nonsensical toilet humor and animation quality of the poorest form, undeserving of any praise whatsoever, or an inspirational celebrity or idol who revealed their true colors as a dishonorable and an awful human-being, but they manage to look past those important flaws in order to continue loving it, longing for nothing but to see better days for it.
As the seasons of the show progressed, all my friends concluded that the quality of the show got worse and worse, and although I saw where they were coming from, I zarked it too much to fully agree with them
