Fool's Fortune

The concept that idiots are naturally luckier than other people as a way to balance out their stupidity. Similar to an Idiot Savant, except instead of being brilliant in a specific field, they seem to have a little extra luck wherever they go.
Fool's Fortune is most likely god's way to make things fair for dumb people, for if they were smart and lucky, they'd be too powerful.

Crater

In TF2, to crater is to fall from a ledge at low health and be killed by the fall damage. No matter who you're playing and how it happened, Cratering is both embarrassing and extremely funny, so craters are often followed by laughter, no small part of it belonging to the player who just cratered.
Scout: on 3 health
Pyro: Airblasts scout off a ledge
*Pyro finished off Scout*

Scout's Teammate: "GUYS! DID YOU SEE HIM CRATER JUST NOW?"
Everybody, including Scout: *Dies of Laughter*

VOG

Acronym for Vault of Glass, a brutally difficult raid from Destiny 1 that takes place in the titular area. In it you and 5 other players face many challenges called "encounters" ending with a battle with Atheon, Time's Conflux. The raid is difficult but carries powerful rewards, such as the Vex Mythoclast, obtained upon completeing VOG on hard.
People think Leviathan is hard, let me tell you of the days where everyone and their dog wanted to beat VOG.

Hold My Beer

A phrase that signals an imminent episode of drunken stupidity ending with injury whenever it is said.

This phrase is used after making a strong play in Destiny or Destiny PvE, sarcastically or not.
It is derived from DattoDoesDestiny, Datto for short, who is one of the most famous and skilled Destiny Youtubers.
Unironically:
*Defeats 5 players with one Ballistic Slam* "Is this what it feels like to be Datto?"
Ironically:
*Completes one cycle of a raid encounter after 2 hours of attempts* "Is this what it feels like to be Datto?"

Scout

The Scout is a playable class in TF2. His main draw is that he has the fastest run speed in the game, can double jump, and counts as two of any other class while capping a point or pushing the cart.

Scout doesn't do very much damage at close range and has very low hp, however, so Scout players usually use his mobility to utilize hit and run tactics, dodge people's attacks, and generally get in people's faces and be an annoying little piece of trash.
Scouts who wear the fast learner/use lime paint/use lennybinds/or use the Force-a-Nature are known as scunts because they are even more annoying than normal scout.

However, if there's a speedy boi running around annoying you and your team, swapping to heavy and equipping the Natascha is an easy way to shut them down.
The Scout is a Speedy Boston Boi who runs fast and gets all the girls.

Polybius

Polybius is one of gaming's most well known myths. Polybius was an unmarked Arcade machine spotted in an unnamed arcade in a quiet suburb of Portland, Oregon, in 1981. The game was described as strange and abstract, but "strangely addicting." Many recreations liken it to Tempest, another arcade game. Strange enough, but then there were the side effects, such as nausea, vertigo, and even night terrors. Stranger still, men in black, supposedly government agents, often visited the machines, giving rise to rumors of a government mind control program. A month later after the machine was first spotted, it vanished, along with any evidence of its existence. The only consistency in the story is the name, Polybius.

Wild story, but it actually has some basis in fact. Around the same time and place the myth was set, incidents of teens blacking out or experiencing similar side effects to the described symptoms after marathons of games such as Asteroids or Tempest, began to crop up. Also, back during that time, Arcades were often the haunts of drug dealers and other participants in illicit activities, resulting in common sightings of Narcotics officers during hours of operation. Finally, the name springs from one of the codenames of Tempest while it was in its beta stages, Polybius.
Polybius is an interesting urban legend that came to be from a mix of very real incidents and stories.
