Zero Punctuation 

A series of video game reviews presented by TheEscapist.com, written and hosted by Ben Yahtzee Croshaw. New episodes are published every week, on a Wednesday.
Despite several attacks on Croshaw, many simple minded people have failed to grasp that Zero Punctuation is not about reviewing, but CRITICISING a game. Croshaw has stated on various occasions that he is primarily a critic, not a reviewer, and anyone who cannot understand that should not bother watching his videos if they are merely going to nerdrage.
"But, like a glass of milk with a spider in it, towards the end it all goes horribly wrong." Croshaw during his Dark Void review.

"Recently we recieved a mail from soneone whose name i forget explaining that they were going to stop watching Zero Punctuation." Croshaw starting the Wii Sports Resort review.

"but you dont call a sewage technician to redecorate your bathroom, and you you didnt come to me to hear how a game is good. Not when every other review has done it already." Croshaw providing the point that he is a critic, during the Batman Arkham Asylum review.

Zero Punctuation 

A video review series by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw. Gained popularity on Youtube with a speed not seen since the Angry Video Game Nerd, and after only two quite funny videos was hired by online magazine The Escapist. After being hired by The Escapist, the jokes in the reviews started to get less subtle, and subsequently less funny. Eventually, the guy simply got obnoxious, often making off-topic rants against anyone and anything that earned his ire, most egregious when he said that Halo was unoriginal, then later said that he had never played a Halo game in his Halo 3 review. The rampancy of his unchecked ego became most obvious in his "review" of Super Smash Bros Brawl, where he simply spent half of the video bashing anyone who may like Smash Bros, then dedicated a whole video to the hate mail his excuse for a review generated. He seemed quite surprised that people responded negatively to the fact that he had spent two minutes simply bashing anyone who doesn't share his tastes. Has a legion of idiotic fanboys who will declare that Yahtzee proves that whatever game he reviews has just been PUHOWNED!!1 and that Yahtzee is the only reliable reviewer, then yelling at anyone who disagrees with Yahtzee that his videos are for humour value only and shouldn't be taken seriously, too busy trying to earn Yahtzee's love to notice the contradiction.
Yahtzee: Hello, time for a new Zero Punctuation video. Today, I will bash X game for reasons that are stereotyped and just not funny. I will then talk about how fans of X game or console are idiots and how they are ruining the whole gaming experience for me, because the personal opinion of a single person holds sway over the entire gaming industry and I am immature/stupid enough to care what other people are playing. Also, people who pay attention to reviews are dumbasses and should pay fifty to sixty dollars for a game that they might not even like, because every gamer works for a company that will reimburse them so long as they make a review about it.
Fanboys: YAHTZEE JUST PWNZORED THOSE BITCHES! I'M GOING TO GO TO TV TROPES AND PUT A VAGUELY RELATED QUOTE ON EVERY GAME TROPE ARTICLE THAT WOULDN'T EVEN BE DISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE THREE MILLION OTHER SNARKY REVIEWERS IF NOT FOR "Yahtzee, Zero Punctuation" AT THE BOTTOM! *faps to Portal*

It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.
Today in the baseball game the pitcher took a nutshot; the baseball hit him in the nuts.

Man, I just watched the funniest nutshot video ever.

Nerd neck 

A "human" that spends so much time playing video games that their posture is level nerd neck. Everytime anyone goes tryhard they hunch down and their neck gets longer there fore a nerd neck is always hunched down cause they're always going try hard. In other words a nerd neck is a try hard, since their neck is 100% longer than the average human being due to playing too many video games and taking them serious, nerd necks are not even considered human anymore but something more sad. Nerd necks are often found on fortnite, their natural habitat usually being tilted towers.
What a fucking nerd neck!

He is building so fast, nerd neck!

Looser more like a nerd neck ha!
