People throw GG around them way to much these days.

In fact one could probably set up a graph over the evolution of GG starting with warcraft II where GG ment "Good Game", a game where both parts enjoyed it to todays where GG means "Game Over" or "You won", dosn't have to have anything to do with the game being good at all.

Yeah, in Supcom at least, you say GG regardless of how good the game was (as long as no one cheated or was insulting or anything like that).  It shows that you are either not a sore loser or aren't real arrogant from winning.  It is recognizing that the other person tried their best, or was deserving of the win.

I dont remember if we played, but if we did, I agree!

imo gg is good sportsmanship

mb it was sth special when people didnt use to say it in the beginning, but today its meaning is more like a shake-hands after a tennis match.

same as gl hf in the beginning of a match...

Same. I try and get the phrase in (or something longhand but similar in meaning) in before the citadel falls when I play. It's the sign of a good sport, and it shows you're not bitter about losing/arrogant about winning.

I always say gg at the end of the game when I lost (unless it is versus my brother, then I just stand up, walk 10 meter and try to throw him out of the window), it may be not always accurate in the original meaning of the phrase but as long as someone comes up with a better phrase I'll use it even if it was a bad game.

I don't like people who write gg first when the won a game.
