Graphics Troll 

A troll who criticizes/mocks the dated graphics of older video games, regardless of whether the gameplay has stood the test of time.

They seem to be oblivious of the fact that due to the rapid emergence of new technology, the cutting edge eye-candy they're jacking off over now will be dated and discarded once the "next big thing" hits the market.

They're also guilty of the greater crime of championing visuals over gameplay - a stance which is killing the integrity of the video game industry.

They can typically be found in Youtube comments sections, posting garbage on gameplay videos of titles 5 - 10+ years old.
Graphics Troll:

"Shogun Total War? Why the hell did IGN give this POS game an 8.5!? The characters are 2D! WTF!??

tighten up the graphics

1) To work at an introductory-level tech position.
2) To attempt a feat without knowledge of how it can be done.

Phrase originates from a Westwood College commercial, in which two young videogame designers, dressed in 70s attire, report to their boss that they are "almost done with level 3, and need to tighten up the graphics a little bit."
1) "Once I move back to Arlington I'm gonna tighten up the graphics for Adobe Systems."

2) "I'm almost done with my quadratics homework, I just need to tighten up the graphics a little bit."

graphics whore 

In terms of the marketing crap that is called "the console wars" or the "next generation wars" in video game consoles, it is someone that puts down, denies, refutes, and ignores a system solely if the console does not have the graphic and processing power as the other competition.

See: fanboy for other details.
Boy1: "Omg, the Nintendo Wii is so freaking awesome."
Boy2: "It is just the gamecube with a new remote. It is so gimicky. It can't even go beyond 480i!"
Boy1: "You're just a graphics whore."
