Combination of “Exploring” and “Adventuring”, created while climbing annoyingly impossible mountainsides in Skyrim for “shortcuts”.
Term used when attempting to
access “unreachable” areas in video games using overly-tenacious methods until
success or absolute
failure. Applicable to any videogame-related situation.
“Heheh, explorating
time!” he
said, as he mashed the “A” button on his controller to make his character jump non-stop. “I’m sure I can climb this mountainside eventually, even though I shouldn’t.”
“
Hey, you know you can’t get up there, right? You’ve been failing for almost an hour now.”
“Shush, I’m explorating. These boxes might help me get there, I’m sure of it!”
