Paul Wartenberg's definitions
The generation born right around the end of the 1960s baby boomer cultural takeover, basically anyone born after 1965 (Dylan going electric) and before 1977 (so that you'd hafta be at least 1 yr. old when Star Wars came out). The title Generation X was designated by the media to indicate a distinct group population for marketing purposes. Generation X members are generally considered laid back (slackers), market savvy (having been inundated by the mass media and MTV since their pre-teen years), prone to psychological disorders (the first generation with a majority to have grown up with absent or divorced parents), and considered less important than baby boomers (who are btw the egomaniacal bastids to make that distinction in the first place, sheesh). Generational trends however suggest that Gen Xers are smarter than people think, are more capable and hard working than expected, and will eventually rule the world by lining up the baby boomer bastids against the wall when the revolution comes!
Also, the name of a punk band I think.

Get the humdinger mug.A MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) that allows a player to become a Superhero based on five Types (Blaster, Controller, Defender, Scrapper, Tanker) and five Origins (Magic, Mutation, Natural, Science, Technology). Unlike other MMORPGs there is no PvP (player vs. player) but instead relies on teamwork to defeat in-game villains.
The goal of the game is to get your character to the next Training Level (from 1 to 50). At certain Levels (14, 20, other increments) you can gain significant powers and abilities and even a new wardrobe. Players earn points in battle, and can earn inspirations (temporary boosts) and enhancements (permanent boosts). The tougher the mission and the higher level of villains, the more XP earned.
Gameplay is basic and simple once the rules and weapons are learned, and can become repetitive as missions tend to repeat themselves in locations and type of villains.
The greatest enjoyment most players have comes from designing their superhero character in the first place, and in achieving certain types of powers (flight, superspeed) that makes their characters more superhero-ish.
Within the game, the best way to boost to the next level is to undergo Task Forces, a series of missions along a particular storyline. Available only at certain levels on certain maps. Do be prepared to play between 4-6 hours completing a Task Force.

City of Heroes is cool except for the repetition of it. More Clockwork to fight, sigh okay. More Circle of Thorns hiding in caves, sure sure.

Get the Canada mug.Internet-based free content encyclopedia that provides entries submitted by regular Internet users, thus covering topics and issues more often ignored by the scholarly print-based encyclopedias. Not everything can be submitted, and there are policies and guidelines that must be followed. Is a distant relative to urbandictionary.com in that they are both free content Internet databases.
Wikipedia has an extensive listing of every major Harry Potter character. Even Luna gets a good-sized entry.

Get the wikipedia mug.A person of American origin who obstensibly votes for a certain political party called Republicans. There are in fact three distinctive types of Republicans:
1) those who call themselves fiscal conservatives and focus primarily on promoting free enterprise, lowering of federal and state taxes, and cutting government regulations to allow the market more leeway; 2) those who call themselves social conservatives, who focus on promoting religious orthodoxy in both a social and political environs, the curtailing of 'permissive' acts of sexuality, and generally promoting the vague standard of 'family values'; and 3) serious evil f-cks who take both aspects of 1) and 2) to extreme levels, who have no tolerance for others of dissenting opinions, who declare everyone and their parents 'traitors' at the slightest provocation, and are more than enjoying themselves with the thought of dragging the entire planet into Hell.
On no account should you allow a Type-3 Republican to read 'Weekly Standard' to you. Not because anything he says will convince you but because he'll start foaming at the mouth and you'll have to clean up the mess.

Well, yes, I'm a repubican but I'm from the wing of the party that actually tries to be nice to people.

Get the republican mug.Cartoon character on South Park who keeps wanting to take over Canada. Responsible for killing Kenny, the bastard!
Character is rumored to be based on a real person, but is actually a composite of various people including Donald Rumsfeld, Pat Buchanan (where the Canada-taking hostility comes from), and whoever it was that created that whole Riverdance fad years ago.
