When playing games with friends, it often arrives that you notice a glitch, a funny voice clip or anything else that can sometime become an inside joke between players.

I'll give you some examples.

In Killer Instinct, when fighting as Jago, you think you can hear him say Montreal (the french prononciation where the T isn't pronounced).

In NHL2K6 (xbox), when a replay is skipped, there is a black bar glitch in the fading window and it's so sudden that we call it the rape bar.

In NHL2K6 again, we were happy to download Sydney Crosby in the roster and tried to see if he was actually modeled in-game. Turns out that every goal he scores, the angle shows only his back. So we called this a feature.

The Fission Mailed in MGS2 is a classic as we apply it to other games as well. Since my examples seem to rely only on NHL2K6, we applied it to messages in the game like Fuck Prozen (for puck frozen).

It sounds silly when you read them or type them but it can be things that you never noticed before and that will make you laugh to death when you'll notice them after reading this thread.

Hahah, nice! Lemme think up some, brb. ^_^;

When I was 12, my friends and I thought "Saget the Faggot" and "Blanka the Wanker" was insightful satire.

 

[GitarooMan]

Playing ISS '98 N64, the announcer was a riot. Half the time when you hit a shot, even if it wasn't that strong he would scream out "What a cracker!", there are tons of other funny lines we used to crack up over, can't remember them right now.

 

[LakeEarth]

Who doesn't call Urien Urine?

Oh shit I forgot about ISS for the 64. "HE KICKED IT WITH HIS left FOOT!"
"GOOOOOOOALLL! GOAL! Italy ARE ON THE SCORESHEET!"
"GREEEEEEEEECE ... add to their tally."

 

[Grug]

Who doesn't call Urien Urine?

On the subject of videogame mispronunciations, I had a friend back then who was hopeless at it.

He pronounced Ryu as Roo, Vega as Vegger and Raiden as Rye-den.

Used to drive me insane.

But he truly believed that Fatal Fury was superior to Street Fighter II so he was a lost cause.

 

[aechris]

Most of our inside jokes come from Nintendo party games. We had waaaay too much fun with that shit.

The four of us at my old place used to play 2-vs-2 SSBM and me and my buddy'd always pick Roy and Marth and give them the white and gold costumes and call them "Holy Roman Empire". Also there were tons of times we were just screwing around when we'd suicide off the edges screaming "for the rebellion!"

And in the golf minigame in Super Monkey Ball we'd try to win holes doing nothing but power shots. Hitting it at max and screaming "FULL PAWAHHHH!!!" every stroke. Hilarious shit.

This is a great thread -- it's just so tough to come up with stuff on the fly. I'm sure I have pages and pages of stuff like this.

 

[Grug]

"HE KICKED IT WITH HIS left FOOT!"

God I remember that quote, especially with the accent he put on the word "left".

Fricken great soccer game though, that and Goldeneye were the multiplayer heavyweights in my n64 days.

 

[Birbo]

I remember in the Genesis game Eternal Champions one of the fighter's taunts was "Punk!" Use to just sit there and repeat it over and over again. Saying punk 4 or 5 times in a row worked it's way into our lexicon.

Also, we were first started playing Worms and getting used to the controls, we fucked up quite a bit yelling out "Wrong button!" This lead to us inventing the blues-themed song "Wrong Button Blues." Now when one of us dies stupidly we just hum this little blues riff. One of those "you had to be there" things.

The weird SnM freak in Soul Callibur (can't remmber the name) always makes me crack up. He sawys around and skull fucks people, just hilarious.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Me and my brother used to excuse the Tails glitches in Sonic 2 by pretending he ate the Chaos Emeralds which were supposed made of crack cocaine.

Oh who remembers Faceball 2000 and this infamous quote?

"Have a nice day!"

That became our standard ownage smacktalk.

Finish someone off with a dragon punch... "have a nice day... slut!"

Even funnier is when you use a gaming joke on a non-gamer and it completely bombs.

We had a blackout a few months ago and the house was pitch black.

GF: Man its dark!
Me: yeah, we are likely to be eaten by a grue.
GF: A what?

To be fair, Ryu is pronounced "Ru" so he's not far off there.

 

[Grug]

Its REE-yooh!

 

[tedtropy]

Heh, good thread idea.

While probably not entirely original, whenever I do the little crotch-dance over my victims in Halo 2 split screen matches I'm sure to yell "awww skeet-skeet-skeet-skeet".

There's tons I doubt I can remember from my SFII days. One that comes to mind for some reason is saying "FIBER!" every time Sagat did his tiger punch deal. Ryu's "shou-ryu-ken" naturally became "shou-ryousuckmydick".

Whenever I'm around my fellow gamer brethren and they do anything stupid or otherwise mockable I make the Contra 3 game over sound. Once women hear this, they immediately throw their panties at me and proceed to writhe with uncontrollable orgasms in the nearest corner.

I like to make the "hadoken" sound whenever I sneeze. Women that don't frighten me have actually found that one cute. No doubt because I integrate it into the natural sneezing noises so well.

 

[Kakusha]

To be fair, Ryu is pronounced "Ru" so he's not far off there.

Raiden as "Rye-den" too.

 

[karasu]

I had this version of Darkstalkers where Demitri would scream just like a chipmunk nearly everytime I did a Fierce attack with him. I should have never returned it because it was the funniest thing ever.

 

[LakeEarth]

Its REE-yooh!

Nope. I understand why you'd think that, since they even mispronounce it like that in the fricken Street Fighter movie :lol

 

[Hurricane_Chris]

To be fair, Ryu is pronounced "Ru" so he's not far off there.

Hmm, what is the kanji for Ryu's name? Is it 龍(りゅ&#12358/dragon? Or is it 隆(りゅう）/prosper/prosperity/etc.If so then it should be pronounced 'ryuu' either way. Haha, SF2 needs to come to XBLA now so I can check it!

*edit* looked up some web sites and saw it as both of the above mentioned. I guess i could try to find a capcom site wthe the official kanji but too lazy *edit*

Chrono Trigger:

:lol

 

[Kakusha]

It was strange in SFII when them characters would go loop-screaming after a beating.
"Uwah--uwah--uwah!!" Then came SFII Turbo.

 

[borghe]

"I'm a weiner" (mario saying "I'm a winner" from Mario Party)
"Get over here!" - obvious
we swore SFII they say "All you can" instead of "Hadoken"
Superman 64 for so so so many different things

Probably the biggest inside joke though wasn't a bug or glitch. one time in a 6 player game of starcraft, it was 2on2on2, all friends on a LAN. My buddy and I had all but won. one team was eliminated and the other team was vastly on the ropes. we were just running around the map hunting down remaining troops.. it was quite boring.

I decided to take my army of mutalisks (three groups) and unchecked the friendly option for my teammate and proceeded to destroy his home base. He started freaking out across the room and told me he was being killed and I had to hurry up back to his base. I told him I was already there and when he got there.. well... he was shocked. I believe he was seriously pissed, but the betrayal had such a tone of competition to it (he and I are very competitive towards each other) that he couldn't help but finding it humorous.

he has never teamed up with me since. ever. and we have to explain it to everyone when he refuses to team up with me. we are still great friends though, which makes it all the more funnier.

 

[JackFrost2012]

When my friends and I played Super Bomberman II we would always say to each other after rounds in a Foghorn Leghorn voice:

"Maght ah suggest uh TEMPORARY UHLLIANCE uhgainst ah mutual FOE, da BOMMA of da SHINY GOLD COLUH."

The throwing glove was also always referred to as "The Glove of Love."

when doing huge combos in Super Puzzle Fighter II turbo we would say "back with another one of those--BLOCK ROCKIN BEATS" with the latter part timed right as the blocks broke.

 

[LakeEarth]

Hmm, what is the kanji for Ryu's name? Is it 龍(りゅ&#12358/dragon? If so then it should be pronounced 'ryuu'. Haha, SF2 needs to come to XBLA now so I can check it!

Well both Ryu and Ken shout out "SHOOOO RYU KEN!" You can clearly hear it pronounced Ru.

 

[Kakusha]

That must have been Shoryuken, hahah!

I remember that :lol

clearly.

 

[Grug]

I remember hearing some crazy theories on what Rye/Ken said in their Hurricane kick.

"I'll kick you then eat thai" was one of them.

 

[LakeEarth]

clearly.

Once you know what he's saying, yes. I know most people hear "All you can!" and variations of that, but once you know what he's really saying, then yes you can hear the prounciation fine. Plus, in SF3rd Strike, you can hear the words easier.

[shibbs]

I always think the crowd in Virtua Striker 2 yells something dutch.

 

[Grug]

The Johnny Cage "nut punch" became a widely immitated maneuver in the school playground soon after the release of Mortal Kombat.

Every guy was on the receiving end of that one at some stage.

Hmmm what else...

 

[karasu]

Well both Ryu and Ken shout out "SHOOOO RYU KEN!" You can clearly hear it pronounced Ru.

I hear more of a 'shodyuken'

 

[Kakusha]

I remember hearing some crazy theories on what Rye/Ken said in their Hurricane kick.

"I'll kick you then eat thai" was one of them.

From memory it sounds something like: Bak-tchak-tchack-bukak!"
Now Google searching shows: TatsuMakiSenPuKyaku.
"TatsMakSenPuKyak". It all makes sense now a decade later. ^^;

Tatsu Maki sempuu (or is that senpuu?) kyaku

 

[Ranger X]

When you craft is exploding in F-Zero 64 there's a badly recorded voice that says something i couldn't ever understand. We always make fun of it as in some "frenglish" it would say "you lost your vieeeee" (you lost your life)

 

[fennec fox]

My friend Ira and I used to play Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! and we'd do all the Tyson blinking/winking before our punches too.

 

[elostyle]

The various interpretation of what earthworm jim is saying when boosting during the wormhole sequences...

 

[suikodan]

Play Rival Turf and pick Jack (the thin guy) and do jumping kicks. The sound clip that plays is just too funny. KYYYA!

The characters in the game are also ugly as hell so we tried associating them with movie actors. So we had Arnold and Keanu Reeves in there, just to name a few.

 

[Birbo]

Also, during the VF2 heyday, we were convinced that whatever the hell Lau says when he wins translates to "Americans are fat and lazy!"

 

[Cahill]

Any and all gaming sessions with friends are pretty much full of movie/show/commercial quotes. Lame stuff like "Say hello to my little friend", "You got knocked the fuck out!!" and "Ruuuun Forest, run" to "I've fallen and I can't get up" (a big one in PSO.. especially in the towers).


...in the end though, we ultimately wind up quoting half of the damn dialog in the entire RvB series. There are just too many gems in that series to pass on.

 

[lappy4711]

In one of the Command & Conquer games, the soldier sounded DRUNK when saying "Assuming position"

 

[Sapiens]

When I was 12, my friends and I thought "Saget the Faggot" and "Blanka the Wanker" was insightful satire.

i didnt get the blanka one till i pronounced it with a british accent. nice :lol

[Drey1082]

I'm a Wario and I'm a gonna weeeen!!!

For some reason back in the day we thought that was extremely funny/ lame.

 

[Ranger X]

Each time we die "in slowmotion" in some 2D fighter we are like " hoo arrrgh" (and echoing it) reminding the fading echoing voice of Guile in Street Fighter 2.

 

[Bojangles]

Me and my buddies used to play a lot of hungover Striker 1945 I and II in residence, and anytime someone pulled off some god-like bullet dodging mayhem, the other guy would go "FUCK ME!!" in awe.

From then on, if anyone did anything awesome in a game, it was refered to as a "Fuck me." (i.e. big trick combo in Tony hawk "Man! That was a great FUCK ME!"
