Ah, more news that doesn't talk at all about corruption or the real issues facing America. Good, good, this is the best Journalism money could buy!

Glass Cannon

Game Term. Refers to a class of vehicle or sometimes a unit that has very high attack strength and sometimes long range but generally poor defense and low health as a result.

The general strategy for them is to either destroy the enemy before being attacked or hides behind other, stronger ally units.
The artillery unit in that game is great. But it's a Glass Cannon, I only use it for defense.

Stealth Nerf

Nerfing, is a game definition term used by a player base to describe the reduction of power in a Class of unit or weapon that was threatening the balance of the game.

Often times players will be told well in advance of the upcoming patch a nerf is taking place. Primarily to keep players informed on modified game mechanics. And also to generate discussion.

A Stealth Nerf occurs when a game company does not announce a particular change to a game in the patch. Often times the change will simply be noted in the Patch notes, buried under other layers of changes players do not often read. Leading to many players confusion as to the change.
The purpose of the Stealth Nerf is to minimize the backlash from the player base if the Nerf being applied is a particularly popular play style.

It also serves to eliminate resistance to the change the producer feels is necessary, as often preventing a Nerf is much easier then reversing a Nerf.

jump crouch

The act of jumping and systematically crouching almost instantaneously after, usually to reach a higher objective/platform then previously unattainable. It is also a common tactic used in most FPS games to dodge bullets in combat and make themselves harder to track. Though, it is impossible to perform in real life.

Most recent games penalize jumping by making a player temporarily slower after the aformentioned action, making the Jump Crouch tactic much less effective and mostly rendered a last ditch effort. Though, mastery of this skill will have you spinning circles around your enemies.

ardennes forest

A dense forest located in Belgium between France and Germany. During WWII the Germans passed through the thought to be "unpassable" Ardennes forest. At the time this was the least defended sector in France, the Germans bypassed the Maginot line and seized France.

In retaliation, the French surrendered. Way to botch that one up you Frenchies.
"Zey are cooming thru ze Ardennes forest!"

"Impossiblay, it is 'Unpassable' you fool"

*Germans arrive*

"Ve surrendur!"

atom bomb

A weapon developed by the Americans during WWII and under research by other countries including Germany. The weapon is classified as either a Gun type or implosion type.

Gun type weapons are unreliable and do not provide a large blast, therefor rendering it obsolete. Though it is easier to make. The process includes accelerating a neutron(s) into a ball of Fissionable material and inducing a nuclear Fission reaction.

Implosion type weapons are in current use, though, not much, they detonate explosives around a ball of Fissionable material and create immense pressure which induces nuclear Fission. They generally have a higher blast effect.

The Atom bomb was deployed twice at Nagasaki and Hiroshima to end WWII. Though, their use is still hotly debated today. Atom bombs have become very obsolete since the development of Hydogen bombs, Cobalt bombs, and then Thermonuclear warheads.
NUKLAR EXPLOZON!

The Japanese surrender! The atom bomb worked!
