Has a video game sensibility. A) Used to describe someone who can start playing a video game at more than 'novice' level, due to extensive experience playing video games. B) Could also be used to describe someone whose video game sensibility stretches into the real world to a degree that is somewhat comical or absurd, or who chooses to describe people and events as if they are game characters or targets.
The word comes from the fact that gamers automatically understand that a red barrel in a video game will explode when shot.

A) This is his first time playing, but we shouldn't go easy on him. He has extensive red barrel awareness.
B) I noticed his red barrel awareness when he briefly considered driving between the cars in the traffic ahead of him, since it would only cause minor damage, and the car would still be drivable. I was scared.
