Godlike comes from Unreal Tournament, the arena shooter released by Epic Games in 1999, where a distinctive announcer calls out killing sprees as players rack up kills without dying. The female announcer version became a favorite on soundboards and in gameplay videos because its crisp, authoritative delivery made a great streak sound even more impressive. As clips from the game spread through forums, videos and streaming, the line moved beyond its original matches and became shorthand online for any dominant, almost untouchable performance.
