arkham alsume

one of the things that slowly drove the r/batmanarkham subreddit to the brink of insanity
(im actually not sure if this was the start of it but it was talked about that being the cause of the madness)

"Thoughts about Arkham Alsume?"
minor spelling mistake before disaster

Arkham City 

The greatest superhero game of all time. Released on 10/18/11, it is one of the big games coming out this year, and in my opinion (which is THE opinion), the best non-shooter game this year.

Billy: Ah man, BATMAN ARKHAM CITY. ITS LIKE THE BEST GAME EVER
*hugs Kevin and starts to cry*
Kevin: I know man, I know. It's so beautiful
*both guys continue to makeout over the awesomeness of the game and then go home to play the new nightwing dlc*

Arkham Effect 

The usage of Lovecraftian (q.v. H P Lovecraft) references during internet discussion or debate.

It does not indicate loss during internet debate, as does Godwin's Law (q.v.) but it does indicate that the discussion has moved to the point where it is ripe for ongoing mockery

The thread was subtly won with the Arkam Effect when his comment carried overtones of eeriness and alien logic.

The Arkham Effect was in blatant use when she wrote "bugger me, you're Great Cthulhu's grumpy, uglier brother, aren't you?"

The Arkham Effect can include a form of double entendre like "I can tell the from your reasoning that you're a deep one".

Arkham's razor

The weirdest explanation is the correct one. Opposite of Occam's razor.

Occam's razor says that people used primitive tech and slave labor build the pyramids. Arkham's razor says that Satan called in a favor from space aliens to build them in order to make people disbelieve in Jesus hundreds of years before he was born.

Arkham Horror

A game by Fantasy Flight which brings nearly every Lovecraftian entity into the small town of Arkham. About as close to DnD as you can get without playing DnD. It circulates around 1-8 players versus a myraid of monsters until the Great Old One appears, ranging from Azathoth to Yig.

"Hey, after this we can go to my place and play some Arkham Horror."
"Ok, but lets not fight Azathoth."
