Yup, he is pretty much the only one

Top-5 lies gamers says

1. The ‘In a Minute’ deception

What He Says: “I will be down/there in a minute.”
In Response to: Mom, Girlfriend, Friends, anyone who wants him for something else

AllNighterWhat he really means is, that he is in the middle of a level, or he is beasting. Remember, he has heard you, and the request has been registered, but that horde of monsters is not going to kill themselves. He also knows, you will not understand this crisis of epic proportions, so he sedates you with a harmless lie. Also to note here is, that he really believes he can kill or smash whatever he is trying to kill/smash in under a minute. If you hear this, understand that he respects you and has every intention of coming downstairs, so respect him and don’t start shouting at the top of your voice.

2. ‘I am in the Water’ subterfuge

What He Says: “How the hell do you get out of this pond/mud/any generic spot” Usually spoken in a highly irritated voice.
In Response to: Other gamers playing with him

This is the most basic and the most clever of lies. He will tell you that he is stuck in a place, sound irritated and perplexed. You think he is a sitting duck, he is not only shouting out his location, he is also in a pickle. Easy kill right. Wrong, what he is is really doing is sitting/camping in a location waiting for you to arrive to the a fore mentioned spot only to find no-one there, and you brain splattered all over the wall. If you hear this from the opposition team, never ever fall for this.

3. ‘I only know 2 moves’ Trap

What He Says: “I am new to this game. I know just the 3 moves.”
In Response to: other gamers playing against him

If you thought they were noobs, they are just messing with you

He is dangerous. But only that, he is amazingly cunning. He probably plays this game, brushing his teeth, and pressing his trousers. There is no cheat, trick or skill he doesn’t know about the game. He probably runs a Wiki on the game somewhere. He is only saying this, so you would let your guard down. He may even let you win a couple of rounds, to really sucker you in. But when the bell for the final round rings, Shit is going to get real.

4. The ‘I am sick today’ Routine

What He Says: “Sorry Boss can’t make it. I can’t even get out of bed tonight.”
In Response to: His boss, his teachers

So GTA V has just come out. Assassin’s Creed hit the stores a few weeks back. On November 15th the PS4 will launch, followed by the X-Box One on the 21st. A gamer loves nothing better than a all nighter. A epic gaming night, full of expletives, snacks and his favorite game. But after every epic game night, there is a legendary Hangover. Usually, he would reserve it for weekends, but sometime he would run into a game, which he just can’t leave, a challenge which he just can’t postpone. That’s when he has to wing it and make space for an impromptu leave. So the next time, a sick leave and a game launch coincide, you know what hospital he is visiting.

5. ‘I just woke up’ Blasphemy

What He Says: “Sorry. I just woke up and saw your message.”
In Response To: Calls, messages, or people knocking on his door

Diablo 3 meme
There is another computer in his cupboard, so he can play while he dresses

No this is a straight up, white lie. When he woke up (which was at least 2-3 hours earlier), he ignored each and every bodily function/requirement and turned on his Console/PC. You see he had been semi-thinking/semi-dreaming about that level which he wasn’t able to crack last night, and now he think he finally has it. He knows he has a long day ahead of him, and if people got to know he is awake, they would want him to do stuff like take a bath, have breakfast, go out into the sunshine. So he sits there, in a pool of his own sweat, until the rules of society and biology force him out of his stupor and trance.

So this was our ‘top 5 lies gamers says’ list, do you have any new ones to add. How do you feel when a gamer lies to you. Tell us all this and more in the comments.
