This video should tell you two things. One, never ever read or listen to a message you get while playing a versus game. The only exception to this rule being that you're expecting an invite to another match or game.
The other thing this video will tell you is that you really want to pull off the same thing yourself now. Seriously, I'm really looking forward to doing something similar as this in an online match.
Yes, it's incredibly douchy, but so hilarious!
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Good times, good times.
Cool vid, but it's even better if you do it with a cooked grenade, at a distance where you won't get killed. Or shooting them right between the eyes. :)
"You should watch out for that Medic."
"What Medic?"
"This one? *bonesaw*"
@Topic: EPIC WIN...........
And this was damn funny.
Slow weekend vid posts always brighten my day.
Right now there must be at least 30 people trying to do this online.
PS: I laughed.
PPS: Best. Online. OWNED.
@SantanaClaus: the messages go pretty instantaneously, but all that shows up is a little popup that says "so and so sent you a message," and so the person would have to take a few seconds to check it out, read it, and close the XMB before getting back to the game.
Less time typing, at least.
20/10, would watch again.
Calamansi: No, I found it on Digg. Cry more.
At least he should've died shotting a little to high or to low.
Oh ... sorry, it was on the console. OK, with pad he was indeed dead meat.
