GameFan Magazine

Greatest North American video game trade publication in recorded history.

Created by Dave Halverson, it revolutionized western gaming magazines by using thicker, richly layered, ink-heavy pages with tons of photos and oftentimes humorously hyperbolic text ("eye-flaying, mind-numbing, A+++ action!!!"). GameFan alone began the now common practice of covering import/Japanese gaming with as much fervor as domestic products, and giving RPGs and niche titles as much room as the usual banal sports and action games.

Its eventual price hike to $6, not to mention the less than monthly frequency in which its deadlines were hit and, subsequently, magazines were shipped to readers, eventually caused its downfall, but not before shaping the business for years to come.

Notable alums include Halverson, Casey Loe, Dan Jevons, and Nick "Rox" DeBarres.

GameFan magazine had Phantasy Star 4 on the cover?? Oh oh oh, that is RESPECT.

it's not a tumor

Phrase to be spoken in a terrible Austrian accent after having heard the word "tumor" in any way, shape, or form.

"Thank goodness the tumor was benign!"

"It's NOT a TOO-mah!"

"Look, just shut up."

Purell

Waterless disinfecting fluid that keeps me sane when handing items touched by anyone other than a scrubbed-in surgeon or Jesus himself.

If I didn't have Purell, I wouldn't leave the house. Yeah I have issues, but still.

Dangerous Toys

One of the lamest of the lame 80s hair bands, whose most notable song "Sporting A Woody" pristinely and simultaneously denotes exactly what kind of music they made and what kind of fans they were courting.

Sportin' a woody, when you're walking byyyy! Sportin' a woody, when your titties fly!! What great music Dangerous Toys were able to create. Or not.

nut up

(v.) To gird ones loins. Nutting up entails using one's proverbial balls or "nuts". Mainly used on the US west coast, it's the sister (brother?) term to cowboy up.

I better nut up or I'm gonna get my ass kicked in this fight.

kitters

An Argentinian half cat-half human hybrid with beautiful markings and an odd speech pattern.

I think I saw a kitters over there shouting HUMP HUMP at passersby.

Michael Ian Black

Character actor best known for his sardonic wit on the VH1 retro specials "I Love The 80's"; "I Love The 70's"; and "I Love The 80's Strikes Back", not to mention the newer "I Love The 90's" shows.

"The State" sucked but those 80's deals on VH1 are great thanks to Michael Ian Black and company.
