DirectX

An Application Programming Interface (API) developed by Microsoft to allow programmers to access various hardware, most often the graphics card and sound card. Despite being produced by Microsoft, DirectX isn't actually all that bad, if you can get past Microsoft's abominable coding style.

Learning DirectX is hard, and Microsoft's unintelligible code doesn't make it any easier.

Valentine's Day

1: A marketing ploy designed to create the expectation between couples that they will buy useless, overpriced "gifts" for one another that will be quickly forgotten the day afterward.
2: A cruel, vicious holiday designed to mock single people and remind them of just how lonely they are.

1: My girlfriend got pissed 'cuz I didn't get her some shit for Valentine's Day.
2: Valentines Day makes me want to crawl in a hole and die.

openGL

A graphical API produced by Silicon Graphics that is platform independent, unlike Direct3D. It is also much easier to program 3D applications with, do to the absence of Microsoft Code.

If one wants to learn 3D programming, they should learn OpenGL.

lemon

A pornographic fanfiction that consists of almost nothing but explicit, usually badly-written, sex scenes. This is the kind of stuff that gives all fan fic authors a bad name.

Some idiot fangirl has a whole bunch of lemons on her website.

aimbot

A game hack (AKA cheat) used by lamers as replacement for their lack of skill. An aimbot essentially "locks" the players crosshairs onto any nearby opponents, eliminating the need to aim. Such hacks are quite obvious when spectating the cheating player, and they are usually booted from the server or banned altogether.

Look at the lamer using his aimbot!

cd key

A string of numbers or characters that often come with computer games or software. The user is required to input the CD key to install the product or play online.

A CD-key is verified by being plugged into a mathematical formula and checking to see if it returns the proper value. For example, a very simple CD-key system would check to make sure that all the numbers in the CD-key add up to a specified number. In addition to this, many games and software products require you to verify your CD-key over the internet. However, this doesn't stop people from creating "keygens" or programs that automatically generated valid CD-keys.

When the cheater got caught, they banned his CD-key and now he can't play online anymore.
