league of legends definitely used the term footsies now and in some cases in the wrong way.

"OMG LOOK AT THOSE FOOTSIES WITH THAT NOCTURNE ULT." No you dumb motherfucker, that isn't footsies. Especially when nocturne ult is like fucking 1/4 of the screen wide big.

I think to do a Marvel random, you do random select for your first but then the other two are chosen and each player can't pick any of there usual mains.

To anyone who doesn't follow esports.
"casters, bad manner, GG" are all terms that aren't used in the FGC.
Ultradavid I think made a note of this in his article.

GG is esports now? Wha. I use that all the time or good stuff or good shit in person.

I guess I used it a lot in quake 3, but that's weird for fighting guys to not know it, to me.

Caster seems fine to me as well.

GG has been around longer than esports as something to say after a game, but I think it was Starcraft where it became synonymous with forfeiting.

i thought GG was when you totally beat someone in any game that has text based communication.

Basically every esports Broodwar / Starcraft II match ends in forfeit, since at a certain point it becomes obvious who has won and there's no point in going through the motions of destroying the rest of the other player's buildings. So when someone has effectively lost, they type "GG" into the chat and quit the game. So "GG" has become something for the commentators to shout excitedly at the end of a match, kind of like shouting "goal!" in soccer.

That was definitely not invented by the FGC, nor was it particularly popularized as a phrase by the FGC, either.

Get Hype(d) is pretty damned generic.

but its not a coincidence that league of legend streams have now been incorporating things from the FGC recently. I've never heard the term "footsies" in a MOBA game until these past few months. Nor did I hear things like "blowups" and "fraud"

That's because League of Legends is a universal parasite.

fuckin' called it, man
I've heard "salty" a lot more recently, like in the past 2 months or so, outside of FGC stuff.

I still think it sounds fucking stupid, when I first heard it I thought "why is everyone talking like pirates here"

Of course the word was not invented by the fgc, but I'll blame it's recent popularity on it.

Why? We still say blow up a team or whatever In pro sports.

My friends still use it a lot in regards to sports.

I don't associate all things blowing up with 9/11.

Not talking about forum post, but rather stuff like live stream. Furthermore...no they don't. In sports they use "blow it up" thus referring to a team that needs to change management, ownership, and or roster. Still veteran analyst very rarely actually use it on air. Only one that use it are like sports blogger who are new to air time ex: Bill Simmons.

Remember a few years ago when Gilbert Arenas of the NBA had the gun thing? The NBA freaked the fuck out with "bang bang" (I'm being dead serious it was like panic mode).

Take the NFL for instance when a guy gets hit hard you might hear he got "jacked up" but rarely ever blown up (and it's not because they don't know about it because guys like Stu Scott, Michael Wilbon, Jason Whitlock etc.. will always use urban sayings and what not. Even reference stuff like drugs, and guns of course very few pick up on it). I think one ESPN guy used it once by accident, and he pretty much got demoted a week after. Maybe a coincidence, I don't know but I thought it was hilarious.

Some of this stuff have been documented in a few podcast I listened to where they make fun of each other when they screw up. Shit slips.....

I know what it means in relation to sports. Of course you use the "it" as you are not referring to a person, but an entity. Of course they would not use it the same as in the context of a fighting game match.

In the FGC streams, it would be so and so got blown up. Or referring to a match as a blow up.

I don't think the Gilbert gun thing applies either. He was the specific person with the gun, doing the bang, bang thing.

ABC dude still says BANG, on 3's. Is 1 bang still a gunshot, as opposed to 2? Noah was doing his pistol thing until the school shooting.

I mean, the equivalent would be the terrorists doing a stream and saying ChrisG got blown up.

I mean just look at these links I found in a few seconds:

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...son-blowing-up-the-defense-is-the-only-option

http://tweetwood.com/JasonLaCanfora/tweet/270297116813971456

ESPN even used it on their website:

http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcsouth/post/_/id/41229/saints-dont-need-to-blow-up-defense

I mean, should Seth Killian stop saying people getting put on notice since the housing crash? Alot of people got eviction notices!

;)

Basically, I mean (hehe), I have never associated that term with 9/11. Until you brought it up today.

Castor makes me think of mages as well. League players refer to ap mids/ap supports/ad mids that way as well. Casters imply a focus on spells for damage.

So yeah... unsure about that.

Should old acquaintance pick Sagat,
and keep a top tier mind?
Should they spam Tiger Shot,
and Angry Scar in time?

Happy New Year!

Been hearing it since I was little. But people used it for insinuating others feeling stupid after saying or doing something and it not happening according to what the say instead of being angry.


Happy New Years FGC! -=burps=-
