Dead Game

A popular phrase among attention-seeking Twitter users found under any sort of tweet about a game that's been getting a lot of media coverage to indicate that the hype surrounding the said game has come to a standstill, so the game is no longer worth talking about.

This term may also refer to multiplayer games with a stagnant player base of less than a thousand people playing the game at inconsistent intervals.
Popular singleplayer game releases to lots of fanfare, copies are sold in the millions. The player base drops after a week because people are finishing the game and moving onto other things. The developers still update the game, but under every update is somebody who writes 'Dead Game' in the hope of getting attention or the hopeless pursuit of getting the game off of their feeds.

If you do this, please quit. It's okay to have a discourse about games and their marketing, but when your discourse ends with two words, I don't believe you have anything interesting to say.

dead pool

A bet on which celebrities or public figures will die during a given period of time.

All participants agree on the amount to bet and choose 10, 15, or 20 famous people for their individual list. Duplicates are allowed, as long as each list is not exactly the same.

The person who guesses the most deaths during the time period wins the entire pool. In the case of a tie, the dead pool may continue for another month or more in hopes of a tie-breaker, or the winners may split the proceeds.

Most dead pools begin on January 1st and finish on December 31 of the same year.
Three weeks into the new year and I've already marked a celeb and an athlete off on my dead pool.

Jock: You fucking emo bitch anarchy would never work.

Anarchist: Why wouldn't it work?

Jock:Because it means Chaos

Anarchist: AHAHAHAHAHA what a total ignorant fool you are. Anarchy isnt abscence of laws, its the total non need for said laws. It would be the entire world growing up in a manner of speaking because the world would have some responsibility to make the right choices.
