modern au

A work of fan art that takes characters from other time periods or universes and places them in a modern setting. Literally - modern alternate universe.

So, you know that BBC's Sherlock is just a modern au fan fiction of Sir Conan Doyle's books?

Modern Audience 

An euphemism for progressive audience in entertainment. Usually used when talking about Hollywood or West game development.

Did you see the new Saints Row reboot? The devs said it caters to modern sensibilities and will appeal to a modern audience hence neutering everything the series stood for. What an awesome idea!

Narrator in Morgan Freeman voice: The game flopped.

Modern Audience

"Fans" who play games they're supposedly a fan of on YouTube through walkthrough videos, and not their console or PC, aka larpers.

Larper: "Video Games are meant to be played" Yeah tell that to the poor and disabled buddy
Fan: Wow, we found the mythical modern audience

Modern Warfare 2: Australian Edition 

Also known on Xbox Live as 'Modern Warfare 2: Fucking Shit Edition', it was soley marketed to Australian fans of the series who were anticipating something more than a fucking piece of shit.
Australians playing this game online against Americans will experience frustration, frustration, frustration, frustration, frustration, frustration, frustration and even more frustration after playing this fucking piece of shit as one of an Australian Xbox Live connoisseur's greatest fears eventuates in the form of a "lagiastus beastialus". Known simply as a lag beast, this will violently penetrate anyone choosing to abuse it.

*Sam is halfway through a match of Domination on Favela, enjoying himself in an Australian hosted game with a favourable 7 kills and 2 deaths*
Sam: "Gee, I really have enjoyed coming home to this. I am not dominating anyone, just enjoying a nicely paced game of Modern Warfare 2: Australian Edition. Ah..."
*Host leaves game, which has a majority of 10 Australians and one annoyingly placed American within game. Game begins to relocate host*
Sam: "Hoho, fuck."
*Game restarts, the one American in the game is hosting. The American immediately kills Sam, a knife to the back*
Sam: "Huh."
*Sam dies again, this time as a result of a lag beast*
Sam: "Hmmm..."
*Again*
Sam: "Jew."
*Again*
Sam: "Jewslut!"
*Again*
Sam: "Argh fucking American ballsucking redneck gin faggots!"
*Again*
Sam: "Fuck... fucking Cod. Why in fuck's name am I playing this shit?"
*Again*
Sam: "Heherghh!!!!!!!!"
*Again, proceeding with a vehemently temperamental silence*
Sam: "..."
