A cult saying first made
popular by MMORPG players in anticipation of the game Mortal Online, it was first said by Kudo Sinoda during the
Xbox 360 project Natal demonstration for E3 2009.
During the demonstration the motion sensors responded horribly sending the on screen
avatar into some kind of epileptic fit.
The term was first made
popular in Mortal Online IRC channels, where Sampzky and other Mortal Online Beta applicants watched the live E3 2009 press conference together in the IRC channel.
Today, the term 'WAH
BAM!' is used to express total failure; failure which is usually executed in a retarded or spasticated fashion.
The full quote is as follows:
Kudo: "You ever wonder what the bottom of an avatar's shoe looks like? WAH BAM!"
*Onscreen avatar cripples and flails horribly*
Kudo: "There it is...?"
