dsimms's definitions
a technique used in movies and videogames (especially fps, first-person-shooters) to make the game or movie seem much scarier than it is -- this effect is achieved by making the scene way darker than it needs to be, thus cloaking the presence and movement of monsters who are lurking in the background
sometimes bright, randomly flashing or sparking lights are added to sections of the scene to further heighten the tension
the use of nightmarevision in videogames began with Quake and continues on today... the recent movie Cloverfield used lots of nightmarevision which made certain scenes eerier and scarier, but also helped the director/editor hide the cuts and transitions in the supposedly single-shot pseudo-handheld video sequences... further scariness was achieved by switching from total darkness to nightvision in one scene, allowing the actors to see a little bit in the total dark, thus making nightvision a special form of nightmarevision
a similar concept to nightmarevision is spookyvision, first used on the tv show South Park for one of their Halloween specials... spookyvision uses the visage of Barbra Streisand, rather than darkness, to enhance the scariness of scenes

"Do you like that new fps you just got?"
"No. I couldn't set the gamma up high enough to see shit. Those asshole game writers kept the whole first level in nightmarevision, even when I got to the Boss. And it wasn't all that scary, the nightmarevision just made it hard to see or do anything. I'm like what the fuck? I think I just kissed off forty fuckin bucks."

grey goo search results consisting mostly of blog links that have nothing to do with the topic you're interested in
what's worse is when the link is to some blog that links to some other blog, and only came up in the search results because it has your search topic as a meaningless buzz word or the name of some blogger
example: you want to find information on herpes, and some blog wonk has the name Herpes, so the first 200 search results are links to _other_ peoples' blogs that point to Herpes' blogs, and are of the form: "on April 20, Herpes commented on Britney's breakup with Justin", or "Herpes said in his blog yesterday he's gonna vote for Obama"
