You’ve heard of the phrase ‘Úber Takeout!’ right? That phrase that should be announced automatically when a spectacular Boosh Checkmate!™ of an event happens when one player in a driving game either intentionally or unintentionally takes out another, sometimes taking himself out as well. But there are many different phrases that can be used in videogames, and below are the more popular ones.
Úber Takeout!
This is the universal Úber-phrase. Commonly used in Project Gotham Racing 2 and Rallisport Challenge 2, is used when you cause someone else to have an unfortunate accident, sometimes at your own cost. However, there are times when it is done unintentionally, which causes great hilarity for all parties involved.
Úber Headshot!
When playing first person shooters, it is sometimes possible to get a headshot without actually trying. This can involve a quick reflex reaction to getting shot at, or just a quick pull of the trigger when someone enters your sights. Intentionaly headshots do not count for the lack of randomisation.
Úber Rollout!
Again, this is used in driving games, or more commonly, Rallisport Challenge 2. You’re driving along confidently, when suddenly a wheel hits a tiny stone, barely visible to the naked eye. Suddenly you start rolling to the side, sometimes whilst in the air, landing with a smash in the side of the road. This results in much hilarity when other cars follow and land in various places.
Úber Flip!
Similar to the Úber Roll, involves doing a front or back flip off a ramp, the back of another car or an obstacle in a game. The Úber Flip is often the result of an Úber Roll leading to the…
Úber Combo!
A number of Úber moves combined make an Úber Combo. Add X2, X3, X4, etc when more moves are combined. The more combos you can pull off, the funnier it will look to others. If you can end it on Úbercide, then you are the master of the Úber!
Úbercide!
This is applicable to almost all games. For example, a co-op game of Halo where you try to run away from a grenade. You run the wrong way, the explosion kills you but your body swims through the air as it falls off a cliff into the void below. Other examples involve driving into a rock, launching you into the air and down a great chasm that would be sure to destroy you in real life. Blowing yourself up with a grenade, or jumping directly into the path of a rocket (like a bodyguard).
Úber Camp!
Quite often used to describe this year’s Big Brother contestants, Úber Camp is the most hated of all Úbers. It is a dishonourable way of taking out enemies in multiplayer games which results in your own kicking. Whilst short term camping is fine, the long term camper who finds his position and stays completely still the whole game should be buried alive with his last sight being his console being destroyed by a bomb squad. When the camping results in your own death, the term “Úber Rebound” can be used.
Úber Rebound!
Used when someone else’s plan to Boosh Checkmate!™ you fails miserably resulting in your own success. For example, someone camping in a tight spot to take you out gets nullified by your own grenade. Or in Rallisport Challenge 2 again, someone tries to block your path but you fly over them or just go around them and on to victory. The Úber Rebound can be used in so many situations, though the best is when you’re losing badly in a points based game, then suddenly gain all the remaining points needed to win.
Úber Close Game to the Max!
Soon to be a well used phrase in the world of Pro Evolution Soccer when it comes to Live play on the Xbox. Players will endure a close two halves followed by extra time and then penalties. Both players will take it in turns to shoot until it reaches sudden death. This will go on for a while then suddenly, by luck, one player wins. You can’t get any closer than that without leaving it as a draw!
Úber Insult!
Not usually intended as an actual insult, but is used to vent frustration if you’ve been the victim of an Úber attack. For example, after being the victim of an Úber Takeout, Albino-man shouted at the top of his voice something like, “Úber Smelly “)%*”_”% Arabic Pikey Egyptian mongtardspazbean!” The funny thing was, the attacker, Creepy Magician, didn’t hear a word due to Albino-man’s position in the race.
Many of these, and more, will be included as automatic voiceovers as a downloadable upgrade to the Xbox Live service. Many games developers will also be including them in games on other formats to, but Live seems to be the main focus. Keep an eye out on the Microsoft webpage but in the mean time, feel free to use these phrases and add more should you find a situation for them.

Like you did in the other topic with Creepy and the 'you coming on Live later' question?
BOOSH!

Oh, trying the same back to me now?
How immature of you.
"ÂLŠ†ÂÎR" Is that how you prefer it? With your non-English characters? Is that trying to be special? For I know if I corrected it to an 'a' instead of an 'i' you would have picked up on that too.

Who is Alistair?
Alastair isn't even spelt with an 'i'.

Who is Alistair?
Alastair isn't even spelt with an 'i'.
How can you be arguing with someone who doesn't even exist?
That's probably happened at some point in the business world actually...
Well done. You capitalised on a typo.

I didn't realise Special Reserve sold Welsh Versions of anything?
It's funny how I know the word you meant, yet you can't even spell it.
Archive isn't spelt with "Archie" involved.
Infact, word reccomends "Achieved" which has a totally different meaning.
You are funny Alistair. You act all confident and clever yet fail to notice that spelling mistake and swore blindly it was correct.
