Were you the kind of kid that...[views:7253][posts:39]_______________________________ [Aug 7,2007 3:41pm - xmikex ""] Were you the kind of kid that would invite your friends over to play video games and then give them the bad controller on purpose? Because you're an asshole if you did. Am I wrong? |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 7,2007 3:42pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] No, but i was always the poor bastard who got the bad contoller. |

| _______________________________ [Aug 7,2007 3:53pm - xmikex ""] Seriously, what a shitty thing to do. And kids like this always try to pass it off like you're not going to notice when the B button sticks, or you have to jam down on the left button, or there ISN'T a C button. Like you're not going how strange it is that you're suddenly losing 43 - 2 in Base Wars. |

| ___________________________________________ [Aug 7,2007 4:40pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] Of course I have! Who wants their friends to have a better chance at beating you? |
| _________________________________ [Aug 7,2007 4:43pm - Dankill ""] I got the shitty controller OR I'd get inviterd to play a game that I didn't own or played often (usually a fighting game or first person shooter) So I'd get my ass handed to me to the point where I'd just be like, "Isn't it easier to set the game on Easy and just go to town?" |
| ___________________________________________ [Aug 7,2007 4:43pm - TheFilthyFrenchman ""] the best was telling a sibling that they were playing and giving them a controller but then just playing one player yourself |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 7,2007 5:10pm - goatcatalyst ""] I was the rotten prick who invited my friends so I could kick their ass with my NES Advantage controoler (turbo... on). Though sometimes we'd play Contra or Ikari warriors and I wouldn't kick their ass... I'd just kick better ass. |
| _____________________________ [Aug 7,2007 7:23pm - Lamp ""] I was the kind of kid who went to other kids houses and played their video game systems by myself. |
| _____________________________________________ [Aug 7,2007 7:24pm - ArrowHead likes Pie ""] I was the kind of kid that would invite my friends over, only for them to find that I had nothing but single player games which I would proceed to play while they watched. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 7,2007 7:34pm - JDDomination ""] I use to tell my brother and my cousins to go down the hole below the screen in Super Mario Bros. because there was an extra life down there, suckers! |
| _______________________________ [Aug 7,2007 7:37pm - Ryan_M ""] I was a kid that played video games all day, then when my friends came over and played our set, I was jealous when it wasn't my turn. And whether my friends were visiting me, or I was visiting them, whoever owned the system would try to tell whoever was playing what to do and get mad if they didn't do exactly what you told them. "Get the power-up! Get the power-up!" *Kid doesn't bother to get the power-up* "Hey you didn't get it! This is my Nintendo, so you have to do what I say!" In middle school I had a couple of friends who liked playing fighting games like Mortal Kombat, which I was never good at, and would insist on having me play them, just so they could kick the shit out of me. I had to keep asking over and over for them to show me how to do certain moves and they'd show me one, and before I could figure it out, they were whooping my ass again. And if I did figure it out, I would keep using that move until I won, and they would get mad for not giving them a chance. |

| ___________________________________ [Aug 7,2007 8:38pm - BornSoVile ""] I hated playing with the kid who would pause Super Mario Brothers 1 with the first controller non-stop while I played as Luigi. |

Hahaha, I remember that shit, my friends would do that to me too! Fucking drove me nuts! |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 7,2007 8:51pm - Dwellingsickness ""] my friends caught on kinda quick to that scam, So they always used to bring over their own controllers |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 7,2007 9:03pm - the_reverend ""] wow todd, you had other friends back then that could afford pong? |

Yes. That was the 2nd worst. Especially when you'd ask what buttons serve what functions, and they tell you they don't know... even though they play the game every single day, and are clearly really good at it. My little brother had this hockey game for Sega Saturn. It was a decent game, and I was usually bored so he'd ask me to play once in a while. Not only did he stick me with the bad controller, but he'd insist he didn't know what buttons did what even though he was pulling off one-timers and all kinds of ridiculous shit. I was playing it like it was NHLPA 94 for Genesis because I didn' t know any better. He'd have Pavel Bure scoring like 12 points a game against me, and every time he did it he'd yell (in the Milosh voice from Seinfeld) "ANOTHERRR GOAL FOR PAVEL!!!!!!" I finally got decent enough to beat him once in a while (bad controller and all) at which point he conveniently lost interest in the game. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 8,2007 10:43am - JDDomination ""] let me explain: when a young kid's brain is fixed on the screen with a video game on, the only response to anything you ask them is "I don't know". The person certainly does know what each button does, their brain just can't produce a thought while the game consumes their soul. TRUTH |
| ________________________________ [Aug 8,2007 11:08am - xmikex ""] I don't buy that. The most buttons they had to memorize was 4 (SNES) and there's nothing complicated about that. One button passes, one shoots, one punches, one kicks, etc. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 8,2007 12:33pm - immortal13 ""] I was always the kid who had people over to play video games, and they'd always somehow end up with the good control because I always forgot which is bad and which is good. I guess that's what ADD does to you. |

| ____________________________________________ [Aug 8,2007 3:51pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Luckily I never had a bad controller, but I insisted on being Player 1. There was nothing more demeaning than having a guest in my home using Player 1, while I, the host, was bumped to the Player 2 spot. If a friend was coming over that was annoying when it came to video games, I just hid the 2nd controller. I would conveniently be playing a game already when he arrived, and said he could have the next turn...what he didn't know is that I was enabling Game Genie so there never was a next turn in most cases, haha. |

"Wow, great level break." *snore* 2 words: Tony Hawk Definitely did that with Tony Hawk. The 2 player game sucked, so usually we would take turns on single player. I'd just enable the cheats and let everyone watch me play for an hour. I remember doing that shit with Zelda back in the day. "We'll take turns every time someone dies" ... meanwhile my turns would last an hour, and the other kids that didn't have the game would be dead in 2 minutes. Heck, I STILL do this. My buddy came over the other night and got to watch me play a 40 minute game of Supreme Commander. He got bored and went home, I didn't care. |
