Turn Based Strategy

Refers to a style of game in which players are given a large amount of time to decide what their next move will be. Essentially, trading actions with their opponent.

Probably inspired by the Gentlemans' war, basically like the real life version of Turn Based Strategy.

The opposite of RTS.

Grenade Artillery

A tactic used in FPS games in which players lob grenades into the air towards the enemy spawn attempting to get a lucky kill.

The tactic requires extensive knowledge of the current map and a sense of predictability in knowing where the enemy will usually head.

Though, this only works well in round based games because spawn points are fixed.

The best way to avoid grenade artillery is to look at the sky in the early game and watch out for small flying objects heading in your vecinity
Unknown Soldier sprinted around the corner, poised to bring his bullets upon his enemies.

When suddenly he exploded, a grenade had been flailed from the otherside of the map and killed him...to shame.

schwerer gustav

The single largest cannon ever built and used in history. Designed by Krupp Industries it was used during WWII by the Nazi's only against the Russians.

The Scwerer Gustav is classified as a Supercannon, measuring at a whoping 800mm Calibur, it could only be transported on a double set of rail tracks (also making it a railway gun).

It could punch through 15 meters of Concrete and 5 meters of solid metal armor. Unfortunately it was destroyed near the end of the war to prevent capture. One of its' shells is on display in a Polish war museam.

A second gun "Dora" was also built but dismantled, and a third was planned by never started.

Poke'mon

Premiered in the 90's, Poke'mon has rapidly become one of the most popular/hated T.V. cartoons to hit American public broadcasting.

The story features Ash Katchem as well as several others in their ongoing (And by ongoing, I mean neverending) adventure to explore and catch Poke'mon. Their primary antagonists are Team Rocket, lead by mysterious Geovanni, though, more popularly reconized by Jessie and James with their comical opening.

The first season focused on the adventures through Kanto region, with the original 150(2) Poke'mon. It is a classic. It was followed by several Gameboy games; Poke'mon Red, Blue, and Yellow (Green was produced but was never produced for American consumerism; It remains Japanese only).

The series became SO popular it was followed by several more seasons including Orange Islands, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh regions. As well as several other games following the Gameboy name genre, and many movies produced. A card game was also released and being expanded to include new Poke'mon from the other regions.

The overabundance of series and movies by its' creators to milk the popularity of the show has earned the series much public backlash. And has also been condemned by several religious groups claiming Poke'mon portrays animal demons.

Never the less, after a decade in the making Poke'mon still remains a well watched cartoon. (The audience being mostly kids).
Holy shit dude, they're making ANOTHER series? When will they let Poke'mon die.

You mean Pokgay'mon?

It might as well be.

Gentlemans' War

Term which refers to a conduct of combat, loosely applying to the 17th through 19th century. In which battles were orderly fought in a fashion akin to a turn based strategy game, with opposite sides of musketmen walked around the field of battle to form giant lines of ranks totally exposed. Each army then took turns blasting the crap out of each other.

Sometimes one side would suicidally charge the other with bayonets. On foot or cavalry. Later, cannons were used as fire support.

Generally, this was though of as sportsmanlike by the nobles that waged these wars.

The practice eventually began to wane when people realized that doing this was fucking insane. And basically outright stopped once World War I rolled around.
These people had more balls then any human being in history, when you realize that each and every one of these mother fuckers walked around a battlefield devoid of cover. Then stood in front of a proverbial firing squad.

Not to mention, even if you survived getting shot, you'd probably get a limb amputated, without anesthetics, at best. Slow painful death at worst.

You probably had a better chance at surviving Russian Roulette. A Gentlemans' War was more like a gamble with the Grim Reaper.
