212* Platform/NGage:
213** "You bought an N-Gage, didn't you?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A mocking phrase often used on Website/GameFAQs around the time of the N-Gage's release.[[/labelnote]]
214** "Sidetalking" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The original model N-Gage phones had their speakers on the edge of the phone, supposedly to prevent people from smearing the game screen by holding it against their face. People quickly realized how stupid this looked, and started taking photos of themselves holding other objects (cameras, keyboards, ''other game consoles'', etc.) to make fun of it.[[/labelnote]]
215* Platform/Nintendo64:
216** '''''"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFlcqWQVVuU NINTENDO SIXTY-FOOOOOOUUUUUURRRR!!!]] OH MY GOOOOOODDDDDDD!!!"''''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Nintendo 64 Kid is a viral video of a child getting a Nintendo 64 for Christmas. He gets excited over it. Very excited.[[/labelnote]]
217** '''''NINTENDO SIXTY-FOUR REMOTE CONTROL CAR!''''' ... Wait, ''what?''
218* Platform/PlayStation5
219** It's been pointed out that [[https://imgix.kotaku.com.au/content/uploads/sites/3/2020/11/17/sheyan1f2w4g16outqdh.jpg?ar=16%3A9&auto=format&fit=crop&q=80&w=1280&nrs=40 the Playstation 5 looks a lot like Seto Kaiba]] from ''Anime/YuGiOh''
220** Play has one limit [[labelnote:Explanation]]A spoof on the [=PS5's=] "Play Has No Limits" slogan. Refers to the stock shortages brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic combined with scalpers using bots to scoop up what little inventory there is faster than actual customers can, making the system nearly impossible to find at MSRP.[[/labelnote]]
221** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/4chan/comments/lqnj5g/anon_doesnt_know_why_he_bought_a_ps5/ ONE GAME, I DON'T KNOW WHY]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A 4chan greentext lamenting the lack of [=PS5=] exclusives in a parody of [[Music/LinkinPark "In the End" by Linkin Park]]. [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=l1JEmnTjdyA There's even a full version of the song.]][[/labelnote]]
222* Platform/SegaGenesis:
223** Genesis Does What Nintendon't. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sega's infamous tagline for the early Sega Genesis ad campaigns.[[/labelnote]]
224** Blast Processing. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A marketing buzzword for the Genesis allegedly having a faster processor than the SNES.[[/labelnote]]
225** "Bits=Power of Console" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A notorious misconception started with Sega advertising the Genesis as 16 bit over the 8 bit NES, and was promptly imitated by NEC's Platform/TurboGrafx16, Platform/AtariJaguar and Platform/{{Nintendo 64}} for their marketing campaigns--[[MediaNotes/HowVideoGameSpecsWork the idea has long been discredited]], but it still lingers today among newcomers to games and nostalgic fans, thanks to Sega's ambitious marketing of the term in their heydey.[[/labelnote]]
226** Genesis → Mega Drive[[labelnote:Explanation]]The console is known as the Sega Mega Drive outside of the United States. As such, a joke amongst fans is to take "Genesis" in completely unrelated contexts and change it to "Mega Drive", e.g. "[[Literature/BookOfGenesis Book of Mega Drive]]" and "[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Neon Mega Drive Evangelion]]".[[/labelnote]]
227* Platform/XBox:
228** XBOX HUEG/Hueg like XBOX [[labelnote:Explanation]]"[=XBOX=] HUEG" is an intentionally misspelled phrase that spawned around the time the console released due to its larger, bulkier appearance compared to the competition. This led to jokes and images about the XBOX being absolutely massive, ranging from the size of a ship's cargo to the size of a ''planet'', and it's also used to refer to anything (including people) that looks big, bulky, and unwieldy. (See, for example, the page image quote for OurWeaponsWillBeBoxyInTheFuture[[/labelnote]]
229* Platform/XBox360
230** Achievement Unlocked [[labelnote:Explanation]]Originates from a feature on Xbox Live where people can earn specific achievements in video games. This expanded into unlocking an achievement for just about anything; the meme variation of this system is often used in image macros or videos to add humor to something happening.[[/labelnote]]
231** "The best thing about the 360 isn't beating the games, it's showing everyone online that I did."[[labelnote:Explanation]]To some, playing games for the achievements (and increasing Gamerscore) is more thrilling than playing the game for the game's sake. It also has an absurd number of snowclones in the form of "The best thing about X isn't Y, it's showing everyone online that I did."[[/labelnote]]
232** Why do they call it the Xbox 360? [[spoiler:Because when you see it, you'll [[MindScrew turn 360 degrees and walk away.]]]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A joke attempting to disparage the console, which attracted some snarking for seemingly misunderstanding how circles work (if you turn 360 degrees, you're facing the same direction as when you started), eventually resulting in the joke suggestion that [[https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1265714-turn-360-degrees-and-walk-away 360 degrees is correct if you moonwalk away]].[[/labelnote]]
233* Platform/XBoxOne:
234** [=XBox180=] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The speed with which Microsoft dropped its [[UsefulNotes/DigitalRightsManagement always-online DRM]] and, due to [[BigBrotherIsWatching privacy issues]], the requirement to have a Kinect plugged in. The requirements were met with massive backlash and, perhaps more effectively, the DRM was the subject of a brutal TakeThat from Sony, who were promoting the Platform/PlayStation4.[[/labelnote]]
235** Xbox, go home you're drunk. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Xbox One can be controlled by vocal commands, which includes features like turning the console off, going to the home menu with "Xbox, go home", etc. Thanks to the bad display of the Xbox One, many people quickly made fun of the vocal command feature. Yes, people tell nonhumans to go home for being "drunk".[[/labelnote]]
236** The Xbone. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A fan nickname given by combining "Xbox" and "One", but it can also mean how boned the console is due to the bad PR by Microsoft. Recently ascended with [[http://www.joystiq.com/2013/09/12/microsoft-buys-xbone-com/ a domain name purchase.]][[/labelnote]]
237** Xbox Done. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A fan nickname that surfaced after their dreadful presentation at E3 2013, since the general consensus is that the Xbox One doesn't seems to have a leg to stand on with the high price and draconian DRM policies.[[/labelnote]]
238** "Why's it called the Xbox One? Because Microsoft took [[Platform/XBox360 359 steps back]]." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Basically the equivalent joke to this console's name for the 360's "turn 360 degrees and walk away", though not as confusing as the latter.[[/labelnote]]
239** Also, there are various jokes about the console looking like a VCR, such as showing mock pictures of upcoming games in a VHS format.
240** Various gifs pasting "Sony" (and sometimes "Nintendo" as well) over someone beating up or destroying someone or something with "Microsoft" pasted over it. Often described as a "Summary of E3 [2013]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sony's E3 presentation went over extremely well, in contrast with Microsoft's less than stellar one.[[/labelnote]]
241** [=#dealwithit=] [[labelnote:Explanation]][[StarDerailingRole Former]] Microsoft creative director Adam Orth's response to rumours of the next Xbox demanding a constant internet connection.[[/labelnote]]
242* [[Platform/XboxSeriesXAndS Xbox Series X]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]That console model's redundant name got noticed by many.[[/labelnote]]
243** [[https://i.redd.it/9o2xvnl20iz41.png "One Xbox" "One Xbox box" ...]]
244** The console's tall, towerlike appearance has become subject to many jokes, including portraying it as something in a similar shape like a fridge.
245* Platform/ZXSpectrum: R Tape loading error, 0:1[[labelnote:Explanation]]The most common failure message encountered when trying to load software from a cassette tape (a process that takes several minutes).[[/labelnote]]

249* ''VideoGame/{{Croc}}'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GDgE9W0b1w Dantini!]]
250* UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfVideoGames (note however that there are many variations on these phrases, some of which still appear in new arcade games):
251** PRESS START BUTTON/ONE PLAYER ONLY
252*** PRESS START BUTTON/ONE OR TWO PLAYERS
253** (FIRST) BONUS AT [point threshold]
254*** SECOND BONUS AT [later point threshold]
255*** AND FOR EVERY [point threshold thereafter]
256*** [[Creator/{{Atari}} NEXT BONUS AT [ever increasing point thresholds]]]
257** 1(U)P [[labelnote:Explanation]]Although it refers to extra lives today, it was originally used to identify "player 1" (or some variant). The "U" wasn't always used though, resulting in "1P").[[/labelnote]]
258** 2(U)P
259** HIGH SCORE
260** "Miss" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In Japan, this English word refers to losing a life/ship/what have you.[[/labelnote]]
261** "Extend" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Refers to getting an extra life. Again, chiefly Japanese usage.[[/labelnote]]
262*** NO EXTEND [[labelnote:Explanation]]Typically the name of the "no [[Every10000Points point-based extra lives]]" setting. Again, used mainly in Japanese-developed games.[[/labelnote]]
263** CONTINUE?
264** [[GameOver GAME OVER]]
265*** VideoGame/{{Joust}}: THY GAME IS OVER
266*** [[VideoGame/MissileCommand THE]] [[VideoGame/{{Contra}} END]]
267** INSERT COIN(S)
268*** [[Creator/{{Konami}} PLEASE DEPOSIT COIN AND TRY THIS GAME!]]
269*** [[Creator/{{Atari}} 1 COIN 1 PLAY]]
270** [[DrugsAreBad WINNERS DON'T USE DRUGS]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]William S. Sessions, Director, FBI. A screen that appeared in North American arcade games from 1989-2000.[[/labelnote]]
271*** Usually used when somebody says or does something to make you believe, well, they're not a winner.
272*** ''Fury of the Furries'' parodied this in its CopyProtection password-entry screen, with a "Department of Kalisto" seal over the slogan "WINNERS DON'T USE COPIES."
273*** ''VideoGame/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorldTheGame'' had an opening screen with William S. Broccoli of the Vegan Bureau of Investigation warning that "WINNERS DON'T EAT MEAT."
274*** [[GreenAesop RECYCLE IT, DON'T TRASH IT]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]US Environmental Protection Agency, William K. Reilly, Administrator. The EPA tried having its own campaign screen.[[/labelnote]]
275* "A POOL OF WATER!" from ''RC de GO'', a very underrated racing game for the Playstation.
276* Sony's E3 2006 press conference brought forth [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJElsNaC6yQ three instant memes]]:
277** "It's ''VideoGame/RidgeRacer''! ''RIIIIIDGE RACERRRRR''!!! Remember that one?"
278** The GiantEnemyCrab from ''VideoGame/{{Genji}} 2'' (later renamed to ''Genji: Days of the Blade''), which you flip over so you can AttackItsWeakPoint for massive damage! This is supposed to be based on some historical battle that "actually took place in ancient Japan."
279*** ''Genji 2'' also features "RealTimeWeaponChange."
280** Platform/PlayStation3 will retail for ''599 USD''. [[CrackIsCheaper Five hundred and ninety-nine U.S. dollars.]] [[OhCrap FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY-NINE U.S. DOLLARS.]][[note]]{{Iron|y}}ic, given that [[Platform/PlayStation two generations ago]], Sony floored SEGA and their $399 Platform/SegaSaturn with their "$299" press conference.[[/note]]
281*** The consumer version of Oculus Rift also has a price tag of 599 USD, resulting in the repurposing of this meme.
282*** Speaking of the PS Triple, "Sup, bitchez! It's Chad Warden here."
283*** [=PS3=] has [[spoiler:no games.]][[labelnote:Explanation]][=PlayStation=] systems have been infamous since at least the [=PS3=] for having fewer games on launch, much less exclusives, than the Xbox or whichever Nintendo console it's competing with, particularly in the seventh generation due to the [=PS3=]'s more complex architecture. A British ad ''unironically'' advertising preorders for it as "Sony's Blu-ray player" and mentioning almost as an afterthought that "it also plays games!" was just the cherry on top.
284*** It only does (reference to Sony's latest gaffe). This references Sony's advertising slogan later in the [=PS3=]'s life ("It only does everything"), corrupted to fit whatever problem is currently hampering the [=PS3=] userbase.
285* ''VideoGame/PerfectWorld'': Asoteric Runewolf is casting a powerful attack! Keep your distance!
286** Asoteric Runewolf: [[CallingYourAttacks SUPER... POWERFUL... MIGHTY... WHIRLING... SLASH!]]
287* ''VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}'': What do you think, ''[[MemeticMolester Ma belle peche?]]''
288** Ah yes! Feed me your hostility! Pierce me with your hatred! ''Blossom Dance!''"
289* Very good, TVTROPES! BUT YOU NEED... MORE... EXAMPLES! (A reference to the distinctive and... enthusiastic style of writing in the InteractiveFiction game ''[[http://ifwiki.org/index.php/You_are_a_Chef! You Are A Chef!]]'')
290* Shout "Ubwaa!!" in any populated area of ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarUniverse''. Watch what happens. You all have [[VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline Kireek]] to thank for that, by the way.
291* A simple complaint about a bad pick-up group experience on the ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'' message board turned "Go. Hunt. Kill Skuls" into the game's official meme. The boards went wild when then-head developer Statesman used it on the message boards. Then it morphed into a badge earned by defeating 200 members of the Skulls gang. It was incorporated into the official site's backstory for the gang. Most recently when loading screen messages were added to the game, a random message of "Go. Hunt. Kill Skuls" will occasionally appear.
292** Naturally, it's all a [[TheChessmaster Nemesis]] plot.
293*** [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial It is NOT all a Nemesis plot.]]
294** FREEEEEEEEM!
295** Futanari CatGirl looking for ERP in Pocket D on Virtue.
296** "''this is how it start's jerk hacking (dupin rares)... pretty soon it will be gone to the americas...''" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A forum post by a non-English speaking player complaining of people (jerks) cracking the game's code (hacking) and artificially replicating valuable loot (dupin rares). His fears that the game would be "gone to the americas" were never sufficiently clarified, as the resulting comedic backlash ensured this was his last public post.[[/labelnote]]
297* Why does "[[WebVideo/PurePwnage FPS Doug]]" like shooters so much? Two words: "[[BOOMHeadshot BOOM! HEADSHOT]]!"
298* The [[HGame eroge]] ''Nursery Rhyme'' (which hasn't been animated) is best known for its opening theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neD3Ru5al1w True My Heart]]", and certainly not for any originality -- in fact, it's ''because'' the song is a generic eroge opening theme. This made it the perfect song for {{Fan Vid}}s depicting random {{anime}} that might have an ImprobablyFemaleCast or [[{{Joshikousei}} a large portion of schoolgirls]] as HaremSeries and removing their plots. The meme is commonly called "Kishimen", a mishearing of a line in the song that's actually "[[GratuitousEnglish KISS de]]". [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6JaqQxBf7U This one]] from ''Anime/CodeGeass'' may have started it off.
299* July 31, 2020 went down in the ''VideoGame/OnAir'', ''Hoshinari Echoes'', ''VideoGame/NamuAmidaButsuUtena'', ''Million Arthur'' and ''Project NOAH'' fanbases as a "cursed day": ''all of these games received service termination notices on this day''.
300* "LEVEL BROKENNNN!!!!" is a cry heard in many ROM hack playthroughs when the playtester has found a way to [[DungeonBypass bypass all hazards]] in a particular segment.
301* ''Franchise/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice'':
302** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvbtcCpWf-w BANAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!]]
303** There's a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2vrd7g1AK8 ''Tales Of Monkey Island version,'' too.]]
304** [[http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17333 oh god this thread]]
305*** [[http://www.samandmax.net/mediawiki/images/6/65/Sam_noir.jpg Noir]] Sam!
306** "They're probably hiding a cow!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]From the theme song to "Midnight Cowboys", a sitcom with a plot revolving entirely around two down-on-their-luck cattle ranchers hiding their only cow from their apartment's landlord. It's as dumb as it sounds, and the theme song gets played every time the player tries to get the puzzle done.[[/labelnote]]
307** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yknZf6xER60 "War, what is it good for? It's good for you, it's good for me!"]]
308** It's T-H-E-M! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Bosco lives in constant fear of T.H.E.M. in ''VideoGame/SamAndMaxBeyondTimeAndSpace''.[[/labelnote]]
309*** AH! I scared myself! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Every time Bosco mentions T.H.E.M, he lets out a tiny scream since he's so scared of T.H.E.M.[[/labelnote]]
310** SAMMUN-MAK IS HANDSOME! SAMMUN-MAK IS CUTE! WHEN WE THINK OF SAMMUN-MAK WE GIVE A BIG SALUTE![[labelnote:Explanation]]Episode 3 of ''VideoGame/SamAndMaxTheDevilsPlayhouse'' has the entire world changed by RealityWarper Sammun-Mak into a Egyptian-themed civilization, where Sammun-Mak is a revered god-king. All the characters except Max ([[ItMakesSenseInContext who's a brain in a jar at this point]]) are [[ReflexiveRemarkOfReverence conditioned to recite a chant like this]] following specific announcements by Sammun-Mak.[[/labelnote]]
311*** SAMMUN-MAK IS MIGHTY! SAMMUN-MAK IS GRAND! THE GREATNESS OF LORD SAMMUN-MAK IS MORE THEN WE CAN STAND!
312** [[DoubleEntendre "Wanna rub my unicorn?"]][[labelnote:Explanation]] One of the puzzles for the final episode of Season One is to get a glass unicorn to turn red, which changes colors based on how hot it is. This meme comes into play since you can show this unicorn to everyone in the episode and get a unique response to Sam asking them to rub his unicorn.[[/labelnote]]
313** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MykhMK9h15I Did someone say... 'Birthday?!']]"
314** "Gratuitous acts of senseless violence are ''my'' forte."
315** "Are you as confused as I am?" "More so."
316* "Jack Thompson is ''so disbarred...''"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Notorious anti-violent game activist Jack Thompson was stripped of his attorney's license in 2007 after years of misconduct. Naturally, Twitter had a field day with the news, and it briefly birthed a ''Series/MatchGame''-inspired Twitter meme. "How disbarred is he?!"[[/labelnote]]
317* I can't make fun of ''VideoGame/{{Daikatana}}'' [[EscortMission without my buddy Superfly]]! [[labelnote:Explanation]]You're not allowed to complete any of the levels unless your sidekicks (one of them Curtis "Superfly" Johnson) [[NoOneGetsLeftBehind make it to the end with you]].[[/labelnote]]
318* ShootEmUp:
319** From ''VideoGame/{{Darius}}'': '''WARNING!''' A HUGE BATTLESHIP _____ IS APPROACHING FAST. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The warning screen used to signal the appearance of a boss. There are perhaps one or two games in the entire series that do ''not'' use this.[[/labelnote]]
320** Boss fight Engrish is common in [=STGs=]. Treasure's RS games feature "NO REFUGE" before boss fights. ''VideoGame/RadiantSilvergun'' gave us "BE ATTITUDE FOR GAINS ... ", followed by three pieces of advice for boss tactics (which were "1. BE PRAYING 2. BE PRAYING 3. BE PRAYING" for the final boss). ''VideoGame/{{Ikaruga}}'' dutifully informs you that "The big enemy is approaching at full throttle" before bosses.
321** Creator/{{Atlus}} and {{Creator/Cave}} [[OurLawyersAdvisedThisTrope advise you]] [[NoExportForYou not to play their games outside of Japan]], or you will be "prosecuted[t] to the full extent of the jam." [[labelnote:Explanation]]The {{Engrish}}-filled warning screen at the beginning of ''VideoGame/DonPachi'' and ''[[VideoGame/DonPachi DoDonPachi]]''.[[/labelnote]]
322** [[VideoGame/DonPachi THIS IS NOT SIMILATION. GET READY TO DESTOROY THE ENEMY. TARGET FOR THE WEAK POINTS OF F** KIN' MACHINE. DO YOUR BEST YOU HAVE EVER DONE]].
323** The "huge battleship" quote is memetic even among Taito's own games; it's appeared in other games developed by Creator/{{Taito}} such as ''[[VideoGame/BubbleBobble Bubble Symphony]]'' and ''VideoGame/SpaceInvaders '95''.
324** From the ''VideoGame/{{Ketsui}}''-inspired arrange mode in the 360 port of ''[[VideoGame/DonPachi Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu Black Label]]'': [[GratuitousEnglish JUST A COUPLE MORE SHOTS DESU.]]
325** ''Entering the base! Entering the base! Commencing operation! GO! Pookye Wookye right here! Watch yourself!'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Donpachi's wonderful Engrish dub at the beginning of the stage 1.[[/labelnote]]
326** ''Fire it good! Fire it good!''
327** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbts2qTrbAg Go play]] ''VideoGame/MarsMatrix''.
328** Among shmup players: "[[http://www.falsificare.com/ Falsificare]]", a recent lingo term for (often-unfounded) allegations that someone faked his or her [[ChallengeGamer superplay]] video.
329** ''VideoGame/BlazingStar'': [[EpicFail You fail it!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Fail to defeat a boss before the timer runs out, and you get taunted with the phrase "You fail it! [=-=]Your skill is not enough[=-=] [=-=]See you next time[=-=] [=-=]Bye-bye[=-=][[/labelnote]]
330** Even with a full [[SmartBomb bomb]] stock and 0 lives, [[TooAwesomeToUse a real man won't even have his finger anywhere near the B button]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]An excerpt from an [[https://shmuplations.com/dodonpachi/ interview]] with Tsuneki Ikeda, a Creator/{{CAVE}} programmer, featured in the dual soundtrack for ''VideoGame/DoDonPachi'' and ''VideoGame/EspRaDe'' liner notes. This seems to be reflected in games by Ikeda, which are known for making bombs feel very unrewarding to use and having penalties for using bombs (such as cutting the player's hit chain or a massive penalty to their ScoreMultiplier, with the penalty in some games being even worse than for dying). As a result, Ikeda is infamous amongst the shmup community for his "bombs are bad, never ever use them even if you're going to die" mentality.[[/labelnote]]
331** Honey Mikayo's death sound [[labelnote:Explanation]]In ''VideoGame/{{Parodius}}'', when the naked giantess Honey Mikayo is killed, she shouts "Wow!" This would eventually be a meme sound in its own right, even being used in other anime.[[/labelnote]]
332* VideoGame/CaveStory "Huzzah!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]AGTP's translation of Balrog's IncomingHam line. Nicalis' translation changed this to "OH YEAH!", a reference to the Kool-Aid Man.[[/labelnote]]
333** *Jammed it into Curly's mouth*
334*** Also: {'}
335* ''VideoGame/SimCity'': You have too many roads. Remove some to save on maintenance.
336** YOU CAN'T CUT BACK ON FUNDING! YOU WILL REGRET THIS! [[labelnote:Explanation]]If you ''ever'' reduce the budget for Transportation, the advisor for that department takes it badly and yells this in all-caps.[[/labelnote]]

347** "G's bloodstains!?"
348** "Dogs of the AMS… Time they made a move."
349** "Suffer like G did?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The imp from the first level of ''VideoGame/HouseOfTheDead 2'' taunted you with this line, but his squeaky and high-pitched voice made it instant {{Narm}}, turning it from a threat into a question. It's a hilarious way of sending up the games' laughably terrible voice acting.[[/labelnote]]
350** "...to protect the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbO6yNDZk4g LOYFE CYCLE]]!"
351* ''VideoGame/{{Shenmue}}'' has the infamous subquest where the main character has to repeatedly ask: "Do you know of any place where sailors hang out?" ''Series/XPlay'' turned a request for information into a bizarre fetish.
352** And thanks to ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'': "I will avenge my father... [[SidetrackedByTheGoldSaucer right after I play with this kitten. And drink this soda. And play with these toys]]."
353* ''VideoGame/HeavenlySword'' gave us the gem "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1UiakDDoeU We may need you to play twing-twang.]]"
354** "Maybe I'll hit your [[GroinAttack weak point]] for ''MASSIVE DAMAGE!''"
355* ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'':
356** "SQUAD BROKEN! [[LetsGetOutOfHere TO THE RALLY POINT!!]]"
357** Dawn of Bald. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Most characters are bald, leading to this.[[/labelnote]]
358*** [[{{Pun}} HAIRESY!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The above swiftly died after ''Dawn of War II'', in which most characters possess immaculately maintained hair, leading to this accusation.[[/labelnote]]
359** The {{Narm}}y voice acting for the ''Soulstorm'' expansion spawned several memes. The most prolific is "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbRGg3e1b68 SPESS MEHREENS!]] WE HAVE FEHLED THE EMPRA!" This one even infiltrated [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} the original tabletop game]], with Space Marines and The Emperor constantly referred to as Spess Mehreen and The Emprah respectively.
360*** We...we should take away... their METAHL BAWKSES! [[labelnote:Explanation]]More ''Soulstorm'' goodness. Though less popular, Metahl Bawx is sometimes used to describe the Rhino transport. Now an AscendedMeme, as the Orks in ''Dawn of War II'' periodically refer to enemy vehicles as 'metal boxes!'[[/labelnote]]
361*** "FOR THE DARK GAWWWWWDSSS!!!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The laughable voices of the Chaos Cultists (not exclusive to ''Soulstorm'', though) are popular for similar reasons.[[/labelnote]]
362*** SSIIIIIIIIIINNNNDRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Bale yells this after Sindri betrays him. Popular with YouTubePoop.[[/labelnote]]
363*** [[MemeticBadass Vance MOTHERFUCKING Stubbs]], who lost 100 Baneblades and still won the Kaurava campaign. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A General who claimed to have 100 Baneblades at his disposal, which goes against well-established canon, but loses them at the beginning of his stronghold mission. Despite this setback, he canonically goes on to win the Kaurava campaign.[[/labelnote]]
364** "[[CanonDiscontinuity The Kaurava campaign was a huge mistake]]. [[DiscontinuityNod Let us never speak of it again]]." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Cyrus says this after his comrades pester him to explain what happened on Kaurava. Even the creators hated ''Soulstorm''.[[/labelnote]]
365** [[AscendedMeme Drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Started out as a bit of snarky text added to some of the first game's artwork showing a Commissar in a tank pointing while holding his sword up. Added in the sequel as a random bit of dialog officers can say when they enter a tank.[[/labelnote]]
366* ''VideoGame/Warhammer40000SpaceMarine'':
367** "We are Ultramarines! [[BadassBoast We are the Emperor's finest! AND WE SHALL KNOW NO FEAR!"]]
368** [[ThatOneAttack *Bomb Squig growls*]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Bomb Squigs are the Orkz' suicide troops and pack a helluva punch. They also travel in packs and have no qualms about assaulting you while you're stuck in melee with 20 of their green buddies. Oh, and they do enough damage to kill you outright if you've taken more than 3 hits.[[/labelnote]]
369* Some cartridge tilting gave us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SP5c_MEs9mo this]] ''[[VideoGame/GoldenEye1997 GoldenEye]]'' GoodBadBug that Website/NicoNicoDouga users immediately twisted into a memetic dan--'''[[InterruptingMeme GET DOWN YURERU MAWARU FURERU SETSUNAAAAAAAAAI KIMOCHI]]'''

371** Speaking of ''VideoGame/{{GoldenEye|1997}}'', goldeneye is an eye tat is golden.
372** DR. DOAK, BITCH!
373** [[ScrappyWeapon It's Klobberin Time!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Nobody likes the Klobb, thanks to it's pitiful accuracy, small mag and having the least DPS of any weapon in the game.[[/labelnote]]
374** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYmqJl4MoNI I AM A FUCKING LEGEND]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Ryan Lockwood's commentary on his record-tying (and since broken) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYmqJl4MoNI Streets]] 1:12 speedrun became immediately notable amongst the community due to his [[ClusterFBomb profanity laden]] gloating, set to epic music from ''Film/Sunshine'' in the video linked. This is but [[FountainOfMemes one example]].[[/labelnote]]
375* A small-scale one, but worth listing nonetheless: anyone who'se played ''Caesar II'' knows when [[AnnoyingVideoGameHelper "Plebs are needed!"]]
376* Among ''VideoGame/{{Spore}}'' players, some have taken to worshipping Spode, imitating the over-the-top words of the [[ChurchMilitant Zealot]] class. Of course, many more would like to see Spode [[TheScrappy blown to bits]].
377* ''VideoGame/{{Sinistar}}''. "RUN, COWARD!"
378** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCfSdc-TMSs&feature=related BEWARE, I LIVE!]]"
379* Due to a [[WordOfGod creator comment]] about ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy'', whenever people ask why the giant apples fall up the most common response is "They're really more like giant cherries."
380** "WordOfGod: Delicious Fruit."
381** "[[HaveANiceDeath YOU JUMPED INTO A SWORD! YOU RETARD!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]If you try to grab the sword in the ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI Zelda]]''-inspired room, it kills you, just like [[EverythingTryingToKillYou everything else]].[[/labelnote]]
382** GAME OVER - PRESS 'R' TO TRY AGAIN
383* In ''VideoGame/MountAndBlade'' official forum: [[http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,48881.0.html BEARCLAW!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Forum user Bearclaw posted a screenshot of an enemy lord shouting his character name, which is immediately made into meme by other forumgoers.[[/labelnote]]
384** '''I will drink from your skull!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of several equally memetic [[PreAssKickingOneLiner one-liners]] spoken by [[DemonicSpiders sea raiders]].[[/labelnote]]
385* In the hit MMORPG ''VideoGame/FlyFF'': "Buff Pl0x!"
386** Seriously, look at the number of ways people ask for buffs.
387** [[AllegedlyFreeGame Free to play]], [[BribingYourWayToVictory pay to win]].
388** And telling Deuce (xdeucex) to do his homework has become something of a meme on the forum.
389* ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'':
390** [Insert activity here]... IT'S THE ASSASSIN!![[labelnote:Explanation]]In most of the games, a large majority of the actions you can do as an Assassin will catch the attention of enemy guards whether you meant to do so or otherwise, including riding a horse at full speed, climbing walls using LeParkour, etc.[[/labelnote]]
391*** Conversely, [[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy Assassins don't sit on benches.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]In the first game, one of the methods to hide from chasing guards was to sit between two people on a bench once you've broken their line of sight.[[/labelnote]]
392** "He's going to fall, and when he does, I won't help him!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the first game, an NPC who sees you climbing a wall in High Profile might make this comment.[[/labelnote]]
393** "You should find an outlet." "I have plenty of outlets!" "I meant ''besides vaginas."''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Taken from one of the first conversations in [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII the second game]] between Ezio and his mother.[[/labelnote]]
394** What. The. FUCK.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Desmond's immediate reaction to the ending scene of ''[[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII II]]'' And most likely the player's, too.[[/labelnote]]
395** [[WelcomeToCorneria "Curse heem! Curse the Christian keeng and his army of infidels!"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]In the first game, several NPC's will be proclaiming this speech ad infinitum throughout any one of the three major cities. Any player who explores the cities long enough will wind up memorizing this speech word-for-word without even realizing it, as well as the pro-Christian counterpart.[[/labelnote]]
396** Missed hugs = restarted games.[[labelnote:Explanation]]At one point in the game, you get a quicktime event to give Creator/LeonardoDaVinci a hug. Leonardo is such a well-liked character that many players are willing to restart their game if they miss the button prompt.[[/labelnote]]
397** The fact that ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII'' ends with you getting into a ''fist fight with the Pope''.
398** "Where is Charles Lee?" may be approaching this.[[labelnote:Explanation]]A large part of Connor's story in [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII the third game]] is spent tracking down Charles Lee, in order to avenge the assault on his camp and the subsequent death of his mother when he was a kid. He asks this several times of the people he hunts down throughout the game.[[/labelnote]]
399* ''VideoGame/EVEOnline'': INTERNET SPACESHIPS!

422* In the web game ''VideoGame/Pandemic2'', the objective is to create a disease that kills everyone on Earth. To stop the infection, the regions in the world close their ports upon signs of a pandemic. However, the island nation of Madagascar is very close-happy with their ''one'' seaport, making infecting that island nigh impossible. This led to jokes about Madagascar closing everything [[ProperlyParanoid at the slightest sign of a new infection]].
423-->'''Politician:''' President Madagascar! A man in Brazil is coughing!\
424'''President: ''SHUT. DOWN. EVERYTHING.'''''
425* ''VideoGame/AceCombatZeroTheBelkanWar'' trailer {{Gag Sub}}s. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QswEJxMt6hk Old milk, new battles]]? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QswEJxMt6hk There are three kinds of Screens of Death]]. Unfortunately the subs are in Japanese. Your wingman [[spoiler:and final boss]] Pixy also has some memorable lines.
426** "[[spoiler:That's what V2 is for.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Pixy, while [[spoiler:dogfighting you in the final mission. The V2 in question is an ICBM.]][[/labelnote]]
427** "Yo Buddy, still alive?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Pixy, addressing the player character in [[spoiler:the final cutscene.]][[/labelnote]]

454** With the announcement that ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 4|A Promise Unforgotten}}'''s main characters are a VegetarianVampire, a perpetually shirtless werewolf, and a human girl, the game was declared by the internet to be the [[http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=fenrich#/d3106jw official unofficial Twilight parody game]].

524** "Press F to pay respects." [[labelnote:Explanation]]A prompt that appears during a funeral scene in ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyAdvancedWarfare'' that was widely mocked for being stupid.[[/labelnote]]
525* ''VideoGame/NoMansSky'': The early pre-release marketing being somewhat vague about the gameplay led to the phrase "What do you even do?!" becoming popular within the fanbase. It has since been used ironically.
526** Photoshopping the game's box art to show a picture of Newman from ''Seinfeld'' and editing the game's title as ''Newman's Sky''.
527** Due to the lackluster content at release and subsequent content being introduced in updates, players have joked that Hello Games basically release the DLC then slowly add the full game later.

606* ''VideoGame/LegoIsland'': GREEN RED BRICK, YOU STAY! [[labelnote:Explanation]]On newer computers, the sequence where the Infomaniac asks if you really want to quit the game glitches a lot.

[[BloodKnight I want to BATHE in their blood.]] [[AxCrazy I want to bathe in their blood FOR A WEEK!]] [[PreAssKickingOneLiner Now...]] [[OmnicidalManiac KILL THEM ALL!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Pre-battle speeches in Total War games change according to your general's traits. This amusing line is heard in Rome:TW when your Roman general is known as a [[TheButcher Butcher]] (a trait gained by repeatedly playing on to kill routing enemies after you've won a battle).[[/labelnote]]
621* ''VideoGame/WorldOfTanks'':
622** Hetzers gonna Hetz. [[labelnote:Explanation]]This one evolved out of the perception that the Hetzer, a tank destoyer with fixed gun, is a terrible tank, as sort of an insult.[[/labelnote]]

640** You're in my way, sir. Need you to move, sir. Excuse me, sir...
641** [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment You Fool!]]
642* Creator/ZapDramatic[='=]s games:
643** Angie catching a pencil in episode 5 of ''Ambition'', accompanied by a drum roll.
644** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhiElwYQ9sg Helen's scream]] from the same episode, as well as the face she makes while doing said scream.
645** Yale's smile, too. Ever since WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}} gave it a ColbertBump, Website/YouTube avatars depicting Yale smiling have become increasingly common, especially among the Retsupurae fanbase.
646** The pastries in episode 9, due to the unusual focus on them during the marriage counseling session.
647-->'''Helen''': Have a pastry.\
648'''Yale''': Mmmm. Helen makes the most [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness sumptuous]] pastries.
649** [[EasilyForgiven Hey, Helen, I got you a diamond necklace...]]
650** Duke's declaration in Episode 10 that he is a [[spoiler: terrorist]] has caused people to comment on how interesting Duke's life must be. It's become a meme that Duke is a detective by day, a marriage counselor by evening, and a [[spoiler: terrorist]] by night.
651*** Additionally, "because [I'm/he's/she's/it's] a [[spoiler:terrorist]]" seems to be becoming the Retsupurae fanbase's answer to AWizardDidIt. This one is arguably the biggest meme the games have produced so far, to the point that some people have already begun to see it as an OverusedRunningGag.
652** Ted's rendition of "Amazing Grace."
653** Ever since Retsupurae riffed on "Sir Basil Pike Public School," it's common to make jokes about Ted's actions in ''Ambition'' based on his role as a math teacher in that game. Examples include:
654-->"I hear Mr. Hartrup's class really blows."
655-->"Really? I've heard it's a blast!"
656-->"He does have a rather short fuse."
657-->"All his lesson plans tend to go out the window."
658** "[insert command here], or I'll blow us all to Hell!"
659** "Well, I hope you're jamming with whole-wheat bread."
660** A minor one is "I know that _______________________, because my bike has a unique bell."
661* The [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pumkin Hungry Pumkin]] [sic] -- from ''VideoGame/PumkinLand'', an edutainment MinigameGame teaching basic English, this specific minigame involves a Pumpkin character ordering various foods and eating them whole -- including entire glasses and the tubs that fries come in. Maybe it's the phrases he says ("I'M VERY HUNGRY!"), the rude behavior ("NO! I DON'T WANT THAT!" in addition to leaving the restaurant ''[[FridgeLogic without paying]]''), the appearance of the Pum(p)kin, or all of the above, but this has gotten a small following on the web. Particularly on {{YouTube Poop}}s.
662* Website/TVTropes: The Review. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Comes from Polygon's [[http://www.polygon.com/a/ps4-review review]] of the Platform/PlayStation4, which had several flashy graphical representations of the unit for no real reason. Other news sites started mutating it [[http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/11/13/pc-the-review/ pretty quickly]] after it was published.[[/labelnote]]
663* ''Stay Tooned'' has ShowWithinAShow "Whinefeld," a parody of ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' that consists of animated versions of Jerry, George, and Kramer saying "meh," "uuh," "uh huh," and such. It has gone on to become a huge thing on Youtube, appearing in a few Youtube Poops and the original clip having several remixes (most of them, however, appear to have been deleted for copyright reasons).
664* Posting a female video character "in honor of E3 and extraordinary female video game characters" [[labelnote:Explanation]]After Ubisoft declared that ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedUnity'' wouldn't have female characters in multiplayer because "Girls are tough to create", fans posted pictures of female video characters in retaliation[[/labelnote]].
665* Any mention of the words "life" or "hometown" is bound to elicit a chuckle from ''VideoGame/SenranKagura'' fans, thanks to a cryptic Tweet by series producer Kenichiro Takaki describing his love for T&A ("Tits are life, ass is hometown").
666* ''VideoGame/WanganMidnight'' (including ''Maximum Tune''):
667** '''[[BlindIdiotTranslation SUDDEEN]] KILL'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]In ''Maximum Tune 3'', this is the message shown when clearing a 10 Outrun stage with an S rank. To compare, ''Maximum Tune 2'' uses "Instant Kill".[[/labelnote]]
668** Please call an attendant[[labelnote:Explanation]]The games are notorious for their somewhat-frequent game-stopping errors.[[/labelnote]]
669*** Slamming the wheel[[labelnote:Explanation]]Errors are often caused by a player slamming the wheel ''hard'' to either of its limits; making such abrupt and sharp turns of the wheel is never necessary in high-level play, but it still happens amongst angry players, as well as ill-mannered arcade patrons who don't quite understand the game physics just yet.[[/labelnote]]
670** '''I'm coming!'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]A bit of AccidentalInnuendo in the English-language versions of the games, spoken by "CCR" Motoki in stage 34 of Story Mode from ''Maximum Tune 4'' onwards, not helped by [[https://i.imgur.com/SCGuVdJ.jpg his rather tense expression]].[[/labelnote]]
671** Sound of Ten persons Pulling out Mode.[[labelnote:Explanation]]When unlocking the 10 Outrun Mode soundtrack, the [[https://i.imgur.com/CR7X34q.png album jacket for it]] features the caption "Sound of Ten persons Pulling out Mode", likely an [[BlindIdiotTranslation overly-literal translation]] of 10人抜きモードサウンド (meant to be translated as "10 Outrun Mode Soundtrack". Due to the AccidentalInnuendo that results, players like to couple this with the '''"I'm Coming!"''' meme.[[/labelnote]]
672** 15 years of passion from seven men is wrapped up in that silver body.[[labelnote:Explanation]][[RunningGag Yet another]] instance of AccidentalInnuendo in Story Mode stage 27 of ''Maximum Tune 4''.[[/labelnote]]
673** Do dress-up parts affect car performance?[[labelnote:Explanation]]In spite of most players, the operator manuals, and the official websites stating that [[CosmeticAward dress-up parts have no effect on car performance]], [[UrbanLegendOfZelda some players continue to insist that they do]]. Even asking questions about dress-up influencing performance has become something of a meme within the community.[[/labelnote]]
674** F[[labelnote:Explanation]]A borrowed meme from ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyAdvancedWarfare'', it started with players in a community Discord server spamming 'F' in channels for [[NoExportForYou regions that don't have the game]], most notably Europe and the U.S. East Coast, but has since been used as a catch-all reaction for bad things happening to players (such as breaking their Story Mode streak and subsequently having the racing meter unlocks delayed) in various avenues of the North American ''Maximum Tune'' community.[[/labelnote]]
675** The FD is [[GameBreaker OP]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The RX-7 Type R / [=FD3S=] is [[HighTierScrappy notorious amongst competitive players]] of the Banapass ''Maximum Tune'' games for being [[MasterOfAll being good at effectively every aspect]], leading to complaints about how [[GameBreaker overpowered]] it is and [[HypeBacklash accusations of bandwagoning]] whenever someone tunes one.[[/labelnote]]
676* This trope page is sponsored by ''VideoGame/RaidShadowLegends!''[[labelnote:Explanation]]''Raid: Shadow Legends'' is a free-to-play mobile game that most famous [=YouTubers=] have advertised at least once starting in 2019. Because of the frequency of the promotions, as well as every sponsorship sounding the exact same, people have taken to mockingly declaring that everything is sponsored by ''Raid: Shadow Legends'', to the point where the app itself became one giant meme over time.[[/labelnote]]
677* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8NKNKub2HI HAHAHAHA! RONALDINHO SOCCER!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]''Mundial Ronaldinho Soccer 64'' is a Brazilian bootleg of the game ''International Superstar Soccer 64''. It caught on in May 2020 thanks to the weird laugh and the mispronunciation of "soccer" as "saucer" with a strained voice, becoming famous as a BaitAndSwitch meme on the level of the ''VideoGame/HotelMario'' bait and switch meme.[[/labelnote]]
678* [[https://twitter.com/Mighty_Huseyin/status/1303399339059011584 Appliance consoles]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Once the Platform/PlayStation5 was announced, many people noticed that Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony's consoles of the time all looked like household appliances; the Platform/NintendoSwitch looks like a toaster, the [[Platform/XboxSeriesXAndS Xbox Series X]] looks like a refrigerator, and the [=PlayStation=] 5 looks like a wi-fi router. When the Xbox Series S was leaked and subsequently announced, it somehow managed to continue the trend by looking like a speaker.[[/labelnote]]
679* The RhythmGame genre as a whole:
680** Combo-based scoring[[labelnote:Explanation]]Rhythm games use ScoringPoints as a method of measuring the player's performance. Often times, when the player hits a combo (i.e. streak) of notes without missing, they start to get awarded bonus points based on their combo. The idea is to reward the player for keeping a long combo of notes, but players often observe that [[ScrappyMechanic this indirectly and severely punishes players for missing a single note]]; depending on the game, the player can be expected to lose an entire letter grade's worth of points, or even lose ''half'' of the maximum possible points, just because of one note. Thus, "combo-based scoring" quickly becomes one of the first criticisms pointed out by a player when playing a new game.[[/labelnote]]
681** 1 Miss[[labelnote:Explanation]]If the player maintains a combo of notes from start to end, never missing a single note, they may be bestowed with a "Full Combo" status for that song. Thus, being a single note away from a Full Combo is one of the biggest sources of frustration for moderately high-level players, and some Discord servers for rhythm games, if it's centered around one game, will have that game's "1 miss" display as a custom emoji.[[/labelnote]]
682** FREEDOM [=DiVE=] for X[[labelnote:Explanation]]The track "FREEDOM [=DiVE=]" by xi was made for a contest of BMS songs, which are meant to be played in ''VideoGame/{{beatmania}}'' simulators, and is known for being an extremely frantic song with one of the hardest and most infamous BMS charts. It has also appeared in several official rhythm games, such as ''VideoGame/{{Cytus}}'', ''VideoGame/TaikoNoTatsujin'', and ''VideoGame/{{CHUNITHM}}'', often with [[ThatOneBoss some of the hardest charts in each game]]. As such, there are often players of other rhythm games requesting, jokingly or otherwise, that the devs put "FREEDOM [=DiVE=]" into their games, much to the consternation of many other players of that game and [[DiscreditedMeme some developers who wouldn't be caught dead ever putting "FREEDOM DiVE" into their games]].[[/labelnote]]
683* "I was thinking about why so many in the radical left participate in 'speedrunning'"[[labelnote:Explantion]]A baffling Twitter thread from a wannabe philospher explaining how the speedrunning community is full of leftists because they like the idea of "fast work" with little effort. While also somehow applying it to "sexual archtypes". The insane stream-of-consciounesses rant lead to a lot of mockery and parodies. Including this [[https://twitter.com/TurboJehtt/status/1449499315970314242 Sonic and Shadow exchange.]][[/labelnote]]
