How to Lose Respect in Nine Words or less

In my semi-new job, I have been put in a upper managerial position of sorts. At certain times, there are several people under my supervision that we consider our "team". I am new and have worked really hard to be fair, good natured, and yet professional. It has been a challenge to gain the respect of the staff and employees here since they know me mostly from my previous position "lower in the ranks". But things have been great, I am not hated [yet], and I really feel like I've earned the respect of my colleagues and coworkers.
That is, until my roommate bursts into a meeting and asks "Hey, how did you beat that Colossus last night [on playstation]??!!?
Great.
