"No Oddjob, yo. Oddjob just ain't cool."

Shit proceeds to get real

u/MaryJaneDoe Nov 05 '20

Slappers only + one hit kill

u/mass_of_gallon_sloth Nov 05 '20

Slappers Only, License to Kill, no Oddjob.

Everyone proceeds to kneel down and run around slapping wildly.

My freshman year everyone on my dorm floor would come to our room to play Perfect Dark multiplayer tournaments. Both games were so great.

You reminded me of the abridged show.

u/mdoverl Nov 05 '20

I got excited when someone else picked oddjob. His head lines up for a perfect head shot.

u/Countblackula_6 Nov 10 '20

That’s pretty much my younger brother back in the day. He be Oddjob and get up under your shit so you couldn’t hit him and the just wail on you. Good times!

My mom and dad kick my ass in every RTS. Before the original servers of the age of empire series shut down my parents were ranked in the top 10,000. Now they play on steam but not as competitively.

u/importvita Nov 05 '20

Age of Empires is my favorite RTS all-time due to nostalgia. Tell your parents I love them.

1

u/sccrj888 Nov 05 '20

You can still play age of empires??? I've been trying to play it for years. Can't find it anywhere.

u/Flump01 Nov 05 '20

Definitive edition. Multiplayer is busier than ever.

1

u/harambesjustice Nov 10 '20

Out of curiosity, how many people were playing at the time the original servers shut down?

1

u/amctrovada Nov 10 '20

Not sure about when the servers were shutting down but around the time AOE 3 came out there were about 100k ranked players.

u/Gosfi Nov 04 '20

I became a mario kart 64 speedrunner just to beat my dad at it

48

u/Mynock33 Nov 05 '20

Why take that away from him?

6

u/cackslop Nov 05 '20

He's probably proud as hell.

29

u/RSTowers Nov 05 '20

Congratulations, he now regrets you.

11

u/bmosm Nov 05 '20

Don't do that :/

6

u/Comfortable_Ad_1128 Nov 05 '20

Congratulations, your dad hates you.

1

u/Most_Career7331 Nov 05 '20

Aren't all races speedrunners? Like wouldn't that just be called practice? Not tryna be a dick it just made me chuckle

2

u/Deathduck Nov 05 '20

No, the speed running community takes it to a whole new level. What your saying is like calling you and your friends professional soccer.

1

u/Most_Career7331 Nov 05 '20

Yea but soccer doesnt require me to finish as fast as possible. Racing only requires that.

1

u/ActuaIButT Nov 05 '20

Isn’t every racing game player a speedrunner?

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '20

My dad can probably still demolish me in Godzilla DAMM or Save the Earth.

u/SY7777 Nov 05 '20

Source for this vid?

u/Poop_Noodl3 Nov 05 '20

You have no idea the heartache that comes from finite lives.

u/BornUnderADownvote Nov 05 '20

Is this your video? Just curious how you have the console connected (using an HDMI adapter or what)?

u/RobKohr Nov 04 '20

Yeah, went to a kids birthday party and they were all playing some smash brothers on switch and were talking some smack like they were gods. The father warned me that they were damn good. Last time I played it was on GameCube. First round I did good, then warmed up to controls, then beat the snot out of them for the next hour, with them even on the same team against me. The adults started watching and were in awe.

My misspent youth finally paid dividends.

u/rustang2 Nov 04 '20

Dude sometimes I think I was born 10 years too early.

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '20

Sometimes, usually being the one getting whooped, I feel like I was born 10 years too late.

u/American--American Nov 04 '20

Literally just picked up an SNES so I can beat my kids ass at Mario Kart.

Fuck that new shit, where the loser gets all kinds of buffs and the leader gets handicapped. That's for sissy kids who are afraid to lose.

I stomped him for about an hour straight, then I let him hit me with a shell. Still stomped his ass, but he was happy with that shell.

I'll take it easy with him on most things, but when we're playing old school video games, the shit I grew up with (and got smashed at by my brothers), it's no holds barred. Try me at F-Zero, or SF2. No way, kiddo, you're in for a beating.

u/TheTacoWombat Nov 05 '20

Super Dodge Ball is my go-to for ass whooping. I still have the muscle memory for most of the super moves.

6

u/American--American Nov 05 '20

My kid watched me run through the first chunk of Super Mario World like I had been playing it daily for years. Still remember most of the secrets too.

It's crazy how much of that is still in there.. yet I forget other things constantly.

8

u/TheTacoWombat Nov 05 '20

I can recall the exact timing to get a sub-frame special move in Super Dodge Ball with certain characters I used to do all the time as a 12 year old, but I lose my wallet inside my own home daily.

1

u/espoletanogo Nov 05 '20

I bought a switch just to play it again and forever

6

u/M_TobogganPHD Nov 05 '20

I hate games that do that. Getting crushed builds character.

9

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '20

If you can't whoop em in real life anymore, least you could do is whoop em in snes. There's some value in knowing what a proper ass whooping feels like.

u/fastermouse Nov 05 '20

"Son, I know you broke that window, cheated on your math test, and mooned the girls gym class. Time for you to pay the price"

"No, Dad, please no, I'm soooo sorry, please, I'll never do it again!"

"MAN UP, BOY. YOU KNOW THE RULES."

"Please Dad, anything but... *Nintendo start music plays

" Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.!!!!!!!! "

1

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '20

Mooning someone is actually probably the perfect misdeed to commit as a kid, if you're doing it right, it's hard to get caught, no adult with proper authority is gonna ask a kid to pull down their pants and show them their ass so they could ID the kid...

Principal: So what do you say girls, is this the ass that mooned you during gym class?

It's not the 90's anymore.... that could never happen!

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '20

Extended family playing Mario kart 64. Had never played it, but a jillion hours of OG Mariokart translated just fine, despite having not played a video game in 20 years.

Might have been a fluke, but took first, dropped that controller, and walked out so we’ll never know.

(Now my own kids are playing it on iPads, which at a glance looks like some complicated bullshit. No you can’t have money to buy a hang glider!)

2

u/constantly-sick Nov 05 '20

I like this. Sometimes a child needs to be reminded that adults can can still virtually kick their ass every once in a while. Good for them to learn they can grow.

2

u/thatG_evanP Nov 05 '20

You just named two of my all-time favorite games from my childhood. Damn, the memories.

21

u/FistaKufs Nov 05 '20

My kid will not play me in the original trilogy of mortal kombat. I beat his ass with every guy he asked me to be.

16

u/Sepultado Nov 05 '20

My dad used to have Monday’s and Tuesday’s off when we were kids. He’d brush up on his Mortal Kombat skills while we were at school and would totally whoop our asses whenever we got home. That’s a memory I’ll take to my grave.

u/luckymonkey12 Nov 05 '20

Evander Holyfield's Real Deal Boxing on Sega Genesis was my shit. Last time someone asked me to play it, I had to say no. It just wouldn't be any fun for anyone. I don't even enjoy winning because it's just too easy of a game to exploit so the opponent has zero chance.

u/BaeHunDoll Nov 05 '20

Sega. Lol that's cute.

u/Anorak723 Nov 05 '20

My dad never fails to beat me in Galaga. After every win on the the arcade machines he always puts his initials as GOD, just to top it all of

u/PsyrusTheGreat Nov 05 '20

You just wait till the day comes when they beat you. My son finally beat me in madden and he's still celebrating that one win 3 weeks later.

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '20

My older friends invite me over to beat their kids at video games. So satisfying to beat smug teens (at videogames).

u/craftgenes Nov 05 '20

Slaps only now! Take it easy

1

u/Mandalorianfist Nov 05 '20

I have an open invitation to my neighbors son that whenever we have dinner at our house if he can beat one level of a game of my choice I’ll give him $20. It started when he tried to tell me the games we grew up on were way easier than they are now. The kid barely made it halfway through the first level of mega man before rage quitting. Good times.

u/edhh2005 Nov 05 '20

My mom whoops my ass at super Mario 3 all the time. It’s sad :(

u/RatherBWriting Nov 05 '20

and then telling them you fucked their mother
