HIC's definitions
A special variety of console games marketed as Role Playing games. Contains scripted undeviatable gameplay, tons of fighting, leveling up, buying weapons, and no actual role playing. In otherwords, a 30 minute anime episode stretched into a 40+ hour romp because it makes you fight battles and sit through cutscenes every 10-15 seconds.

Get the RPG Lite mug.Or Stealth troll. A type of Internet troll who tries to annoy a message board or chat room as much as possible while staying on the brink of suspension or banning from the site administration. Usual methods include saying, or eluding to, things they know will piss a group of people off but without actually breaking any outright rules rules of the board. A lot of times these people will go out of their way to let it be known.....many, many times, to the people that what they say is "their opinion". Knowing 9 out of 10 ignorant moderators wont moderate any ACTUAL trolls as long as they include the letters "IMO" half a dozen times in their post.

Get the Brinker mug.Short for Roleplaying Game. Table top or otherwise that allows one or more people to assume a fictious alter-personality, or personalities, and live a story while having the ability to make choices to directly alter the experience and/or the outcome.
Not to be confused with most "Japanese console rpg's" or as the kiddies refer to as "RPG-Lite" games such as Final Fantasy, Wild Arms, Dragon Warrior, Secret of Mana, etc. Such games play on the sensationalizing of the term "RPG" to make a buck in the market and in all actuality offer no authentic "Role Playing" experience.
The most they can be described as is simply "interactive anime" or "pop up books with batles".

Get the The State mug.Someone, usually in an online game, who intentionally, and usually repeatedly, attempts to degrade anothers experience or torment them.
Examples of griefing:
1. Player vs player abuse: Singling out the same person and killing them over and over when they are defensless until hey log off.
2. Kill stealing: Repeatedly trying to steal another persons kills so that their time is wasted.
3. Verbal abuse: Spamming a person with vulgar, hatefull, or offensive messages.
4. Blocking: Getting in anothers way so they cannot move or get out of a particular area.
5. "Training": Triggering many monsters, almost always impossible to fight and survive, with the intention to either run someone out of an area or kill them indirectly if the server is not 'player vs player' enabled.
Griefing in massively multiplayer online role playing games are usually bannable on first offense and less common (thoguh still visably present).
Griefing is much more common on private servers for first person shooters like Counterstrike and Battlefield 1942.

Get the Xgames mug.First person RPG that came out around the same time as Wolfenstein 3d but featured a 3d engine, and gameplay, light years more advanced and ahead of it's time.
Ultima Underworld was first and more advanced, but ID has tricked the masses intothinking they invented 3d gaming.
