A reference to Vesper Arcade's Canada Cup fighting game tournament stream.

You could pay 8.95 to get the HD quality options of the stream and remove ads.

Those who didn't pay literally got ads in between every single match, and since ads aren't timed with the video in the stream and shown in real time, they would play before people saw the matches end. Then, the stream ran into an insane amount of lag, making the HD options and anything above 240p virtually unwatchable.

Even after all of that, Vesper Arcade still played twitch.tv promotions and whored sponsors through the stream video, completely screwing over everyone who paid 8.95 for nothing when everyone pretty much downloaded adblock to get past all the bullshit.

8.95 now usually is used as a replacement word for an ad in FGC stream chats.
*ads play*

Get the 8.95 mug.
In role-playing contexts (GTARP, etc) NVL means "No Value of Life". It's widely frowned upon by many RP communities, as NVL activities rarely lead to any substantial role-playing gameplay and is generally not realistic. Whether it's a character going around crashing their car into other players for no reason, or murdering players on sight without trying to RP a situation, NVLing is just boring for anyone who is trying to play a different way.
The cops rolled up when I was stealing jewelry and NVL'd me right away.

In gaming, pubs are 'Public Players', or those random people that are in a server with you. If you don't have enough friends to make a complete team or squad, you might get some pubs to fill in the spaces.

Pubs can also refer to online servers without passwords as well.
Player 1: Agh, we don't have enough Infected. Wanna let some pubs in?

Player 2: I guess.

Pub 1: HEY GUIZE U RDY 2 PLAY SUM L4D? U DONT MIND IF I USE MY MIC RITE???
