ludonarrative dissonance

When there is a disconnect between story and gameplay in video games. An unnecessarily fancy sounding term mostly used by pseudo-intellectuals to whine about violence in Bioshock: Infinite. To them, the idea of so much violence in a game about a violent man in a violent/racist city is somehow a huge shocker.

Disconnect between gameplay and story happens all the time. There are countless examples of games where characters soak up bullets during gameplay but die from a single bullet in cut scenes. Yet somehow violence in Bioshock: Infinite is simultaneously the most frequently used and worst example of gameplay/story disconnect.
Did you read that article on the reputable game journalism website about violence and ludonarrative dissonance in Bioshock: Infinite? You know, the same journalist website that gave the fundamentally broken PS3 version of Skyrim a 10/10?

panic at the disco

An demonic 4-headed demon spawned by Pete Wentz created to pollute sound waves with there music, causing people's ears to bleed with "I write sins not tragedies" and there disguisting and insulting cover of the Smashing Pumpkin's "Tonight, Tonight"

Beware of this Panic at the disco, it is known to make you loose all interest in what music actually is and base everything on how cute the band members are. Along with Fergie, Mims, and The Ying Yang twins, it is said to bring forth a terrible time known as the music apocolypse, where all good music ceased to excist. The only known way to destroy it's evil power is to have their guitarist, Ryan Ross, replace Herman Li at a DragonForce concert and expecting Ryan to play as good as him. He will then slowly deteriorate and loose his mind, having to play actual notes, not just random power chords and reily on looking cute
Poor little Penelope was only 10 when she was hypnotized by the demonic sound waves of the Panic At the disco. Soon, she started yelling cries of "OMG RYAN ROSS IS SOOO HOT!!!"

Panic! At The Disco

A shitty band. A bunch of homos that play shitty music in a very shitty way. My opinion, my own shitty entry.

PAtD = Sucks.
Panic! At The Disco is such a bad band they make me want to cut my wrists and kill kittens while burning trees and pissing on the Alamo.

disco golf

Something that is very dumb that no one in their right mind would want to do.
Person A: Hey! Let's go play some kickball!
Person B: That's so disco golf.
