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.

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.

One of many Saturday Night Live copycat skit comedy shows that were popping up as frquently in the mid 90's as those terrible "reality" shows are today in 2005.
Other such notable shows were Kids in the Hall, Strangers with Candy, and Living Color.

Soulless "gaming cable television channel" cut in the same mold as MTV.
Terrible off the street idiot hosts with annoying personality and no real gaming knowledge (or interest in gaming for that matter) other than what is on their teleprompter.
Cash influenced reviews and show content.
Entire channel exists not for entertainment but for advertising and exploiting the new surging popularity of gaming and the incompetant 12 year old internet fanboys that now dominate it.
Promotes the same dozen games all day with reruns, even when they only have about 12 hours worth of first run shows on a week. Plenty of extra space for "real" game coverage but they still limit coverage to the same mass marketed "fanboy bait".
Parent company recently bought, erased, and assimilated Tech TV effectively eliminating all intelligent competition to this rubbish channel called G$.

2. Someone with little to no netiquet.
3. A complete ****ing idiot who refuses to get the picture they aren't wanted somewhere. Again usually on the internet.
