Favorite Excuses

[Buyatari]

You just got your ass kicked in Marvel vs Capcom 2 by your little sister.



This controller is messed up.

This game cheats.

I just wanted to see what happens when I die. I never died before.


Come on lets hear em.

I used to play DDR in the arcade a lot so I've heard everything.

"OH MY GOD THIS IS THE WORST DDR PAD EVER!! AAAAH!"
-Never mind the fact that nobody else is having problems getting a high score.

"THIS SONG IS OFFBEAT!"

"THIS PAD IS SLIPPERY!"

"I HATE THIS MIX OF DDR ANYWAY!!! THE SCORING SYSTEM IS MESSED UP!"

[kainemaxwell]

The game wanted me to loose.

The sun was in my eyes... works everytime... I even use it when we are in dark rooms.

Usually when i lose in MVC2, it's on dreamcast. Fuck the dreamcast controller. Fuck it for true.

[dr mario kart]

i tell them it was a 1 in 100 lucky shot and i beat them the next 99 rounds to drive the point home.

in KoF 2k1 I got romped by a 1st timer even though i started with the fighting goddess King. I have never lost with King. Ever. Even against my cousin who's more of a King fanatic than I.

I chalked it up to beginners luck and rematched. Lost.

Again, and again. 13 straight losses to someone who never picked the game up before. I was a little angry. :angry:

The best was a guy named Aaron at robotron's. He had just lost in kof 2k1, and grumbled quietly, and I quote,

"Fuck you turbographx-16, its all your fault".

Best. Excuse. EVER. LOL LOL

The game wanted me to loose.

:hmm:

It amazes me how many people can't spell lose.

Or does kaine and his video games have some sort of special relationship. :hmm:

Dammit...Fucking Game


Or


Thats Bullshit, computer cheats

[Daniel Thomas]

For me, swearing. That always works. It's almost like a grading scale for how frustrated I am. D'oh! Dammit! Fuck this!

And, of course, my absolute favorite: Damn fuckin' Microsoft, I hate their fuckin' shit controller!!!

Ahem. Excuse me. But, for the record, I use a USB Sidewinder for my PC gaming, and while it is comfortable, the directional pad is horribly over-sensitive; pressing up could mean going left or right. Heck, it's Microsoft. Isn't that enough of an explanation?

Thankfully, playing Tony Hawk 3 online has given me a sense of humility. I am guaranteed to get my ass kicked by nearly all the kids I'm competing against. I score 100,000 -- they score 10 million. I just have to admit that I'm nowhere near as good as them.

Videogames...my generation's answer to power tools.

[MarioAllStar2600]

When I play hitz I always say

This is bull the game lets only the bad shots go in..DAMMIT!

I do honestly believe that

[chadtower]

For all you Tecmo Bowl veterans:

"The stupid computer took control of my guy AGAIN!"

:bad-words:

[RetroYoungen]

Ahh, memories... I remember when my cousin got into gaming, he was like 5 or 6, and he would always scream (and I mean SCREAM) the same thing at the screen every time he did badly, no matter if he simply failed or not:

"THIS GAME CHEATS!"

It was hilarious. I just swear and usually end with "Fuck this" and turn it off. Never got violent or anything, I usually just let it go. But games do cheat. And they twist the fragile psyche of all playing them...

warlords- bad paddle man! the game design makes the lower left castle sure to lose!
