Gaming Guilty Pleasures: Physical Confrontation
vishusdelishus \| 1:38 PM on 04.23.2008	5 comments

This only refers to single console, same room style multiplayer.

Now that I've cleared that up, I can safely assume y'all are as guilty as I am. We've all been there...getting our asses handed to us on the couch during SFII Turbo bouts back in the day, no matter what defense or offense we employ is met with defeat and much laughter. So what can a playa do?

Slap the controller out of their hands. Unplug it with your feet. Punch them for real. Spill your drink in their lap. A surprise slap right in the face.

These are but a few of my own ghetto techniques, and I'm positive everyone has their own.

What form of cheap, bastardly payback do you guys employ?

This is a really good idea, but you've gotta take it a little further. Pick some pictures that go with your story, and tell us about a specific moment of awesomeness.

Here's one of mine: Once, after beating two of my friends in Mario Kart for the 12th time in a row, one leaned over and just took my controller away. I was really furious at first -- I wanted to see how long my streak would last -- but that race got so screwed up by us struggling in real life that it was too hard not to laugh. Good times.

I've kicked controllers from my friends in brawl. At least I'm nice enough to let them pick it up before I wail on their character

I would punch my little brother a few times, just to be a jerk

Indeed a great idea, just not worked out too well... try to go deeper on the subject and it'll get a lot better :-)

I think the Wii Wheel in Mario Kart just begs for this, I mean, gently tap somebody's arm and off they go :-)
