I'm using tilt controls! = That's why you beat me.
Shall we get started? = Pick a god damn track already.
I'm using tilt controls! = I'm not using tilt controls!
Is it tilt controls for you guys? Over here it's "I'm using motion controls!"
And yes, it does mean "I'm not using motion controls"

on tilt.
I stopped playing after Mario Kart DS because I saw those videos of Mario Kart Wii. You know the ones, where a guy gets hit by about 18 things in quick succession, plummeting from 1st to last place instantly.
And don't even get me started on the rubber banding.
It is meant to be a settler of scores.
I won't say it's gone but since it happens less I think you feel that Blue Shell burn even more.
A mouth bigger than the character's head? Seriously?
"I'm excited!" = I am going to purposefully stay behind you this entire race and repeatedly pelt you with red shells and fireballs.

Not Fair! = That was some commie bullshit
One more time! = This is how many times I've been with your mother, jerkoff!

Half the appeal of Penny Arcade is that there are jokes in both the art and writing
Wait, did I say half? Because I meant basically all of it
oh
well
PA has always been solid enough to ellicit a smile from me, but the last two were actually laugh out loud funny.
I got looks and EVERYTHING>
Hello! = I'm mashing the button.
Hello! = I'm not going to stop mashing the button.
Hello! = This is the best I can do to try and hit you with a DoS attack.
Hello! = My thumb's working on automatic reflex now.
Hello! = This only ends once you've all picked courses.
And the blast can take out a whole bunch if there's an actual contest for the lead, so it's not just an FU to 1st place.
It is an FU, but it's not only an FU.
It's like Journey.
It screws over almost as many people as the Lightning, now.
"The Light shall bring victory!"
"...Victory or death..."
"Your soul shall be mine!"
(shrug) "You asked for it..."
Two Valeeras are funny because one calmly introduces themselves: "Watch your back..." And the other screams like an unhinged psychopath: "I WILL BE YOUR DEATH!"
I tend to open rogue matches with a standard greeting: "I WILL BE YOUR DEATH! ...Sorry. That was a mistake. The pleasure is mine."
My standard practice for most videogames, really.
I should start doing that in Hearthstone. There is nothing worse than when someone beats your ass mercilessly into the ground in a videogame, then says Good Game.
"Good Game" in many situation is simply adding insult to injury. It wasn't a "good game"! You're just being a dick, and if I speak up against it, I'll look like the bad guy because after all "you were just being a good sport" there!
They're just being polite.
Or something.
Like saying hello or shaking hands? Society is full of little expected rituals. Avoid them and appear anti-social. It's just that online you can usually get away with not heeding the rituals with little to no repercussions. It would seem that a good use of technology would be to automate those for you.
I once got mailed a picture of a honey badger on PSN after a dude successfully hacked me in Watch_Dogs.
Part of doing it, even with limited sincerity, is acknowledging that you're respecting the concept of sportsmanship, even if you want to go the other way. If you're saying "Good Game," then you've acknowledged to yourself that you have to forego a, "And fuck your mother for that last point."
It depends on how the game went. If it was a close, down-to-the-wire sort of deal, then the winner being the first to offer "Good Game" is fine and dandy, since it is an accurate description of the game. If, on the other hand, the game was an utter beat down where the loser got utterly destroyed, the winner offering "Good Game" is not being particularly sporting, since it is either given out of pity or mirth. Either way, its generally on the loser to offer "Good Game" first, since it can be safely assumed that the winner already regards it as a good game.
