"What do you MEAN..."

Another one of my patented "fun" threads- no news, no specific games. Here's how this one works:

In this thread, you're free to post basically anything game-related. An anecdote, a screenshot, a certain moment from a game, whatever strikes your fancy. The only rule is, at some point your post must contain an in-context use of the phrase "What do you MEAN...".

An example of how this works:

Vegas Stakes. You may know this game; it was released on the VC this week. Silver wins a hand of poker. "My game! One day I'll write a book, "How To Become A Millionaire Playing Poker." I might even mention you, in the chapter titled... "Sweet Losers."

What do you MEAN millionaire? You won one hand of poker- ONE, I remind you- in a casino with $500 table limits! And there is no skill in winning seven-card stud with a flush when four of the five parts are face-up! People folded on you because they knew they had nothing! And besides, I still have three times the chip stack you do!

Get the idea? Let loose.

I have a new soccer blog The Minnow Tank. Reading it psychically kicks Sepp Blatter in the bean bag.

    So I'm playing X-Com and doing pretty darn well. I'm assaulting the alien ship with my badass soldier, Bootkins. Boots is at the door of the top floor with his heavy plasma, ready to breach and destroy.

    End Turn

    "Whaddya mean Bootkins is under alien control?!"

    "Wow, that's a lot of Heavy Plasma shots. . . and yup, there goes my entire breaching team. And yup, one of my guys dropped his alien grenade. . . and there goes Boots."

    *Dust-Off*
