For my 21st Birthday, my friend made a comic out of screenshots from the past games we've played throughout our lives. He posted it on his livejournal page and stated that "there are quite a few inside jokes". I would like to take the time and explain them to those that are interested.

[Contra - The Konami Code]
Not much is said other than that it's supposed to be funny because I (in the comic) was too late in giving the code. But I think the inside joke of that was that for many years, (ever since I was 3-4 or something years old) I still remember the Konami code. Other than that, I'm not sure since Contra III (The one in the comic) didn't have the Konami code. We used it mainly for Contra 1.
[Tony Hawk's Pro Skating 2]
I'm not much of an explaination except that the "Ho" is Ken's last name, but Danny could have meant the other thing too.....
[Super Smash Bros.]
Probably the most notable memories we've had playing videogames in the past. I remember very clearly how I went around always saying "I feel your pain" and Danny would like to say "Too bad so sad" (This is when we were about 10 or so). Then one day, when I went over to Danny's to play some SSB, he started to say "Too bad so sad! I feel your pain~". I said that was ingenious! And the way we said it was in a certain way that can't be typed out, lol. We would use that phrase after getting a kill on SSB or any game, and using it in general. Pot Roast actually came from my sister who used Kirby a lot and would say "Mess with me and I'll turn you into Pot Roast". It didn't mean anything, but it was funny.

[007 Goldeneye]
For some reason, this event always stuck with us and always made us laugh when we think back to that day. We were playing 007 Goldeneye on Nintendo 64 like we did every weekend during that time, and we were playing a mode called "Man with the Golden Gun". The objective was that the player holding the golden gun (the strongest gun in the game) would have to kill everyone while the other players tried to take the gun away and do the same. What's challenging about that mode is that the goldengun has a capacity for only one bullet, so if you miss, you're screwed! When we were playing (It was either Danny, Vanna, Ken, Samantha, or me playing 4 players) Samantha had the golden gun and was waiting for us in a hall. We were hoping that all 3 of us rushing toward her would make her miss and give us a chance to take the gun from her; however, we were killed one after the other, 3 in a row. It was so rediculous that we remembered it up till this day.
[Phantasy Star Online: Episode 1 & 2]
Nothing much said other than that we spent countless hours playing on hard mode, trying to find the rare items in the game while I constantly jumped up and down going "redboxredboxredboxredboxredbox" only to end up with 20 of the same rare weapons (VARISTA!!!!! > ,<). I've been playing that game forever, but still like it for some reason.
[Halo: Combat Evolved]
Ever since I watched this video:
I would teabag everyone in every fps game I played from then on (fps as in First-Person Shooter). The cat looking comic came from VGcats if anyone remembers from an older post I put up in the past.

[Brute Force]
Nothing to be said except that WE KEEP GETTING LOST IN THAT GAME!!! XP It was a good co-op game though.
[Ragnarok Online]
We started playing last summer but didn't play throughout the whole school year. We started again this summer and forgot how hard certain monsters were in the beginning.

[Guild Wars: Factions]
When I first started using wireless high-speed internet, I had a bad Wi-Fi USB port. So I would always lag and sometimes freeze there in place. We tried using Ventrilo once and I was lagging so bad that I couldn't control some of my actions and I wasn't heard on vent. Instead, I wasn't heard until 10 mins later or something like that (It was a one minute lag, not a 15 minute one). I miss playing GW:Factions, I haven't even beat it yet.....
[DotA]
What I found humorous about this part of the comic was that the screenshots were taken the night before this comic was presented to me. We were playing DotA on WTF mode which granted unlimited Mana and no cool downs. In other words, players spammed their special abilities constantly, and I happened to chose one that summoned and another that shot the closest opponent. The quote on the bottom left came from this video:
Thanks for the comic Danny.
