 Title text: You can evade blue shells in Double Dash, but it is deep magic. |
[edit] Explanation
Sometimes something goes wrong and you can only shout obscenities at it. For instance, when a bone breaks, or when something unexpected happens, or when a program breaks itself in a spectacular kind of way. There are a lot of things that necessitate this kind of response.
But, mainly the blue shells in Mario Kart. The blue shells, when fired, target the player currently in first place and stops them cold. In a close game, you can go from first to an unrecoverable last in one hit. 137: Dreams puts it best: Fuck. That. Shit.
The title text refers to the "Double Dash" edition of Mario Kart. This includes the technique to avoid being hit by the blue shell, but requires skillful timing to accomplish.
