    One time a Patton put an APFDS round through my T-62's glacis at like 2km in Graviteam Tactics before my platoon even fired so I bellowed "fucking cunt" and slammed my fist into my shitty ikea desk so hard that it accidentally went through my shitty desk

    I accidentally coined a definition of the word 'fuck' while in college: "n: an enemy's critical weak point"
    We were playing, I think one of the LOTR brawlers that came out around 2004-2005, and I was having a hard time against a troll boss or something. So I'm dodging, and rolling and swinging, while trying semi-coherently rage "goddamnit!... just hit him in the.... fuck!" *dead*
    So now when I play multiplayer games with that group of friends, and someone is having a hard time killing a dude, the suggestion is to try shooting it in the fuck.

    "I hit him right in the fuck" is GREAT

    When I was working on beating XCOM ironman impossible and I made a game-losing move I would just stop and stare blankly at the wall, contemplate what I was doing with my life for a few minutes, and then start up a new game.

    Back around '98ish, my friends constantly played Goldeneye on N64, generally on paintball mode for fun.

    So one day after many rounds of shooting each other with paint bullets, we'd started to get a little bored and were just messing around.

    My one friend (stereotypical white and nerdy, top 10 in his class, etc) was trying to draw a smiley face on the floor with the paint splotches.

    Now of course, being '98, you could only leave so many paint marks on the map before the game had to conserve resources and remove the oldest ones. So after a few failed attempts at sizing this thing, he asked that we stop shooting and was finally able to complete his smiley face.

    Cue one of us running in and totally messing it up by shooting at it, causing him to blurt out, very uncharacteristically, "yo... YO, HOMIE DON'T PLAY THAT!!"

    After everyone stopped laughing, we went right back to playing normally and carried that phrase with us for years.

    but I mainly get my LP subs from just looking for a game I want to watch played. I don't think I've ever gotten one from a link on the forums

    VVVVVV is not so bad actually, not compared to other games of that ilk anyway. Sure you'll die a lot, but the respawn is brisk and convenient and you do noticeably improve over time.
    I think I first saw the game in Josh's LP actually and, when I bought it, just assumed I wouldn't be good enough to grab all the shiny things, but with a spell of prolonged cussing even the difficult bits were doable. It's a pretty well-designed game.

    Yeah, and the music being completely incredible helps!

    SoulEye (the guy who did the music for VVVVVV) left me positive comments on my LP, and got upset when the swear cut got briefly lost. At least I got to do something he enjoyed in return for the awesome chiptunes.

    It's an incredibly well-designed game. It's a platformer, distilled into its basic components, then honed to perfection.

    I wonder if anyone has ever used the Mario Kart 8 chat things in a sincere fashion.
    After enough shell-based carnage even 'Hello!' starts to feel like mockery.

    If any of you have seen the recent Eye of the Ryckert video on Giant Bomb

    His expressions 100% emulate mine when playing Punch-Out

    "FUCK YOU" just as soon as you're knocked down

    And you can always feel it coming and have the words come out slightly before the hit takes you down
