Best excuses for gaming incompetance.

[ThoseOfTheUnlight]

We've all been there. Shamefully beaten in a multiplayer game... with our pride in tatters we resort to the crap excuses..

Top one has to be "This controller seems a bit off!!"

What are you guy's top excuses for lame performance!

[ZeroRisk]

I don't know what you mean..... lol

Same old thing really. Or, "I ain't played this for years"

The joypad thing is probably the most used. For fighters it could almost stand up in court!

[TommyG]

Greasy joypad.

[jimmbob]

Yeah, got to be either, "Controller's playing up."
Or the itchy nose/something in the eye excuse...

[Roost]

Definitely a dodgy pad and also something like this chairs uncomfortable

P.s tommy get ya ass on msn :P

[Firsty]

"CHEAP!"

I have 2.

You forgot 'you pushed my R button'

And 'all your goals are the same' deserves a mention. While not being an actual excuse it does allude to some higher level of skill posessed on your part which never seems to actually manifest itself in regular play.

"Hey, I'm old - okay?"

Er, that may have been just an observation

There's always "I thought you were on top?"

Ahem.

[Adam]

My favourite is "Oh my god this game is ****ed!"

[Sieg]

"**** - what THE HELL is that out the window ?? Ah, it's just a bird. Oh damn, I lost ... cuh, distraction, eh ? Let's try that again."

Or:

"I won ! No ? Oh, I forgot which one was me ..."

My younger brother always used to complain that the cable on the Super Famicom controllers was shorter than the US SNES controller cable. Therefore when playing SF2 etc whoever used the Jap pad had an unfair advantage because the signal would reach the machine first!

When i've read Tokuda talking about Japanese players analysising frame differences in VF4 Evo etc i makes me think that my brother might not have been too far from the truth.

"Agh my contact lenses have dried up, I cant see what Im doing - Id better go to bed.."

I'm sorry. What's this 'losing' thing you're all talking about.

I don't understand the concept

[nips]

The only person who will ever play me at multiplayer is VERY GOOD.

I lose everytime. It's got passed excuses. I may as well Just go over his house and bend over. The gaming is almost a formality!

Thank god for Co-op!
