My collection of rants and raves about technology, my kids and family, social/cultural phenomena, and inconsistencies in the media and politics.

Game Over

This picture should give a good laugh to anyone who's played online multiplayer games. I keep giggling whenever I glance at it again. I would have said "anyone who's played online multiplayer games and has seen Star Wars", but didn't want to repeat myself.

For those who are somewhat farther from the online multiplayer gaming world, I provide the following translation guide.

Lag: "Someone's network connection introduced a delay at a critical moment, preventing both my instinctive dodge and brilliant counter-attack. Without said latency, you clearly would have lost. It is only right that you acknowledge me as the true winner, all things being fair and equal."

Crappy team: "My experience and skill, while massive, were insufficient to overcome the weaknesses of my teammates. Considering how close the game was and the obstacles I had to overcome, it is clear I have earned the win. It is only right that you acknowledge me as the true winner, all things being fair and equal."

Stupid map: "The scenario we were playing had insufficient resources, inequal positioning, and was not well suited to gameplay. Had we fought on an appropriate field of battle, the victory would clearly have been mine. It is only right that you acknowledge me as the true winner, all things being fair and equal."

0wned (variants: owned, pwned): "You are soundly defeated, both as a result of my immense skill and your incredible ineptitude. Do not anger me lest I smite you again."
