You know when you get those private jokes, things that develop out of shared experiences...
I love The Onion News Network, and the In the Know video about guys getting stoked leads to my brother and I now laughing every time we see the word stoked.
Gaming has led to a lot these in jokes and memes taking over. After being a big street fighter on the SNES, now whenever I see a country mentioned, if that country was a street fighter venue, I have to say the country name in the accent street fighter 2 had. Japaaaaaaaaan
Also, Command and Conquer Generals gave me the 'China has been generous' every time China do something in the news...
A lot of unit catchphrases from RTS' too, especially red alert, warcraft 3, and starcraft
So what habits and jokes have you picked up from games? are they repeatable?
any time i get something new i hold it up above my head zelda style. definitely repeatable. although i'm going to have trouble doing it if i ever get a new car or girlfriend. lol.
ReplyDeletei probably have other habits but this is the one i am most aware of.
I was going to say Zelda too, I definitely make the da da da daaaaaa noise
ReplyDeleteoh yes that sound. always have to do that also.
ReplyDeletejust remembered another one.
whenever i'm struggling to lift/push/move/break something, i always imagine the Test Your Might minigame in mortal kombat.
Every time I do well at something I imitate my favorite Nintendo mascot from Mario Kart, "I'm a Luigi Number one!"
