Poll: What do you call split screen cheating?

[Ogargd]

Screen Watching =P

 

[Tomster595]

Usually screen cheating, occasionally screen looking.

 

[keve4433]

I always said screen jacking...sounds pretty bad now that I think about it. ^^"

 

[squeekenator]

Voted 'screen cheating', but generally I say something more like "do that once more and I will embed my fingernails in your spleen".

 

[Jadak]

I don't have this problem, I settle for making a contraption out of cardboard boxes preventing proper viewing of both sides of the screen.

Or at least I used to, not aware of such a thing as quality splitscreen versus games existing anymore.

 

[feeback06]

I've always heard it as screen watching.

 

[X10J]

Screen whoring. A term passed down from cousin who was the first person my brother and Ivplayed multiplayer with.

 

[SergeantAnt]

oh man split screen, haven't played that in forever.
but i always grew up calling it screen peeking. i've never even heard anyone call it otherwise.
it just rolls off the tongue better. i think its the ee in both the words that make it flow

 

[skeliton112]

I call it screen hacking and so does everyone i know.

 

[scyther250]

Everyone I know says screen peeking. Gotta be a locational thing.

Yeah, same here. Never even heard any of these other terms.

 

[Cheesus333]

I call it screen looking. I've honestly never heard it referred to as anything else before now.

Maybe it's based on local dialect and such?

 

[Rinji]

Yup, to me it's Screen Looking. But I never used this full term, really. All I said, when the other player did this was "hey, stop looking!". But I've never accused him to be a "Screen Looker".

 

[ShockAndDismay]

Screen watching.

Pretty sure there is no 'proper' terminology. But interesting topic, still.

 

[drisky]

Sceen looking, but its interesting how most of us have only herd it being called one thing until now. The development of language is a funny thing.

 

[health-bar]

screen hopping mostly.
but i have used 'screen watching'

 

[tombman888]

Screen watching is what we call it.

 

[BlindMessiah94]

It's not cheating. It's called being good.

OT: Screen being awesome.

 

[Haydyn]

Only ever heard screen watching. Nothing else sounds natural to me. Screen peeking? What are we 6?

 

[Nouw]

Screen-cheating, just a phrase I picked up from friends.

what? i didn't know they still made good split screen games

Refer to Reach and older split-screen games

I know I play Doom 2.

Ghosting indeed.
