"Arcade etiquette"

The 5 golden rules of proper game center mannerisms and etiquette to keep in mind while abroad.

#1 Taunting
Does your opponent speak English?
If so, avoid insults to his mother’s reputation as a 5 dollar ho, or advice such as "go and die in a toilet".

#2 Hygiene
Is there chocolate on the joystick?
Was the player before you eating half a roast chicken whilst button bashing? Is there a nicely placed ashtray in the middle of your set up, ready to jump out mid combo? Check and prep.

#3 The Weak
Punish the spammers.
Button bashers, noobs, and scrubs have all been placed here to mess with your day. Make sure to chew up their coinage and esteem.

#4 Outcomes
Economize on “shit talking”.
Save face and vocal cords by leaving it at least 2 mins before predicting outcomes. You are not Mystic Meg, don’t be a twat.

#5 Scrubbiness
Complaining about the controls, character handling or your set-up is the worst. Nobody wants to hear it; a bad workman always blames his tools.
