Abbreviation for "turn-based tactical games", originally misfiled under the "strategy RPG" SRPG genre.

As gaming matured, the differentiation between different game types became much more apparent, beyond the simpler categories of origin. TBTGs like 'Valkyria Chronicles', 'Disgaea', or 'Final Fantasy Tactics' are quite different from games such as 'DOTA2' or 'League Of Legends', and RPGs can vary as differently as story-driven experiences like the 'Final Fantasy' series and the actual role-dependent games such as 'Mass Effect' or 'Dragon Age'.
You know what I love about TBTGs? Turn-based, turn-based. Want a sandwich? Make it between turns. Grab a beer? Between turns. Study break? Save between turns, resume anytime.

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons 

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!
