An overpriced, collectible miniatures game concept produced by Wizkids Games. Examples: Hero Clix and Horror Clix.
Characterized by:
The use of piss poor injection molded plastic figures the same quality one finds in supermarket vending machines.
Convoluted rules that require weekly revisions and erratas.
Sets consisting of 3-5 interesting characters, the three lame headliners for each series and a Hefty cinch-sack full of filler no one could possibly want.
Play mats that may, or may not, have silver dollar Mickey Mouse pancake prices printed on the back.
Idiotic, attention grasping sales gimmicks, like having customers wait in line just for the opportunity -to win a raffle -to buy a product at a convention. FUN!
(That's right, you get the fun of waiting in line for the chance to win the chance to buy a product later at the con! AND the fun of waiting for your number to be drawn! FUN!)
Famous for producing no less then 40 Spiderman versions. One of which, may actually be playable. Took at least four versions before the "Super Senses" ability was even used.
Producing limited edition "prizes" the majority of which, are virtually unusable.
Milking idiotic, money-to-burn neckbeards for money most folks drop on samll automobiles.
Community consists mostly of snarky, virginal jerks who spend the day kissing Wizkids' collective ass for ripping them off and wallowing in fact that they will never touch a vagina. (see also: HCRealms)

The latest pile of overpriced, plastic clix crap is the Scarab from the video game series Halo. At $250, you can buy Halo 3 limited edition with the giant helmet thing. Except this is just a big plastic toy. That doesn't do anything. Except remind of you where that 250 dollars went...

The whopping two total forum moderators on Nexon America's horrid message boards.
There are bad forum mods. Then, there are Nexon forum mods. (followed by Gamefaqs as the worst)
Tibaroo and -Hime- may actually go down in history, as THE least interested, apathetic and impotent moderators in internet history.
First thing, the two mods rarely communicate. When they DO line up enough functioning brain cells to type, it is most likely Korean, fed through a colander, translated by a blind Indonesian boy, onto an Etch A Sketch, which is then hurled into the back of their heads.
That means no help, no news or updates for weeks and months at a time. No aid for people having issues.
Despite being an American website for American games/gamers, both the users and the mods average 1:20 for native English speaking users, to 14 year old Pinoy jackholes and emaciated, 1337 Chinese/Korean kids destined to die playing Maple Story.
If you can imagine an Azn Helen Keller, coupled with a retarded, hatted, wheat chewing mule, kept entranced by a carefully placed carrot hanging over his PC monitor. You have a fairly decent idea of what the staff situation over at the ominous, black, smoke stack laden, light absorbing fortress that houses Nexon America.com
-is like.
The only time these two speak it's, at best, to post PR rhetoric and at worst, to present out and out lies, about how much Nexon gives a lucky green shit about you and, how much they would never thinking of shoving a red hot pike in your whale eye, just for slappies.
Second, they removed the edit button. This was due to a flaw in the system, that allowed users to reopen closed threads. Instead of fixing the issue, like human beings occasionally do, they simply removed the option of editing. Thus, the place looks like an unprofessional mess pretty much all the time.
Third, these lazy pricks do very little during the week and, somehow, manage to find excuse to not do anything all weekend.
This leads to the concept of "weekend trolls". People who spam the boards all day, with porn and other "4chan quality" (i.e. crap that even retards won't touch) garbage without reprecussion.
Fourth, these two are so inept and lazy and, Nexon America is so insanely cheap, that they actually had applications to allow certain users to become impromptu mods with limited powers. Rather than hiring more help, they'd have the users do it.
I'd have a joke about how idiotic it is to try and find such a responsible individual in Nexon's fanbase, but I'm not that fuckin' funny.
Nexon.com's boards are a troll's paradise. The staff clearly don't care. Like Blizzard, the moderators are unprofessional and elevate incompetence to heights Superman would second guess, on attempt.

Tibaroo and -Hime- are like shit and puke.
Trying to figure out which one stinks more, just leads to a big, smelly mess.
