Punkbuster 

An ancient piece of software the for some unknown reason large publishers like EA still use.

The staff at Punkbuster write their code in Java and only work on it from 9-11 am at the local community college computer lab.

The program mainly functions as a lottery system, if punkbuster works you are allowed to play the game that day.

This helps publishers pay as little as possible for servers as they force large portions of the community offline in a load balancing technique.
Punkbuster wont let me play my game online!

oooh bummer, better luck next week.
A P.A.B is an abbreviation for a PAB which is short for Punk Ass Bastard. After years of use, the acronym PAB evolved into PABSTER.
What an idiot, that guy is such a Pabster !

A Pabster is a punk ass bastard. It can also be someone who drinks a lot of Pabst Blue Ribbon, a low quality, relatively inexpensive brand of beer. If you happen to be a punk ass bastard and drinking a Pabst at then same time then you are a dabster (short for double Pabster) or a "pabster dabster".
Ritchie is a Pabster !!!

punkbuster 

A gay ass peice of shit anti-hacking game software. If you do not know a lot about computers or you have vista, chances are if you get a game which has punkbuster enabled for multiplayer, itll give you many errors. yes punkbuster does prevent hacks and most people do not get kicked from it, but its possible that you fall into the small category of people being kicked by punkbuster daily, for no reason at all.
"Hey 1337nub25, like my new server for COD?"

"No, I keep getting kicked by lame ass punkbuster."

pantster 

A person who writes by 'the seat of her pants' as opposed to a plotter, one who plans or outlines her writing. Term used, and popularized, by writers, and is familiar with the writing community of the American-based writing contest NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) that started in 1999, and other such contests. A general term for a writer of this approach. Antonyms: plotter, outliner, planner.
Are you a plotter or a pantster? I'm definitely a pantster! I can't wait to see what shows up next!

"Punkbuster Online Countermeasures"

Anti-Cheat software from Even Balance that should prevent people from cheating in the games it is integrated with. Possible source of nuisance because of no backward compatibility, and many updates every once in a while.

See wallhack
When you go play Quake3, and you just started getting on fire, and suddenly you're "forced to spectator mode until PB version updates", you know what time it is.
