    Tea-Bagging

    Concept »

    Also known as corpse-humping, tea-bagging is a slang term in video games when after a player has slain another player or NPC, they move their character over the dead character's body and crouch up and down repeatedly, adding a humiliating, and often humorous, factor to the character's death.

    i would like a bag of your finest nuts!

    I'm curious about this concept since it is player behaviour how can games be added to this concept.
    Even more odd is that games not yet released is added....

    I really only think that games directly featuring a tea-bag move or a scripted npc slapping his balls down on the face of a dead body should be allowed  in this concept...

    That is a fair point. Perhaps the other examples should be moved to 'griefing' or somewhere specifically for online or in game behavior?


    Also, are player actions even a game 'concept' at all? I think we need a good definition of concept to start with.

    The American Heritage Dictionary defines concept as "a general idea derived or inferred from specific instances or occurrences." I think tea-bagging fits.

    I think it's an appropriate concept for games like Halo 3 where the player can crouch up and down on a fallen enemy. It may be user-created, but it can be an important thing to note sometimes, or just interesting to read about for psychologists.

    And yes, you WOULD like a bag of my fine nuts, but you can't have any!

    I disagree. The concept was originally formed unintentional to the game developers, when they made the game they didnt expect people to do it.
    You cant just rip the heart out of the concept.

    What games directly feature a tea bag move or scripted npc anyway? I can only think of one example that directly falls under this, and its the RedvsBlue introduction to Halo 3 where they show off the new and improved teabagging.

    You dont find this shit advertised on the back of the box.

    Any game where it looks like your teabagging another character, the concept is fair.

    Ok, so the general consensus seems to be that this is a concept, but I still think it might be more appropriate under some other heading. Is tea-bagging large and important enough for its own section?
