The Nostalgia Effect

When you play a game for so long that it isn't as appealing as it used to be when you first started, and you yearn for that past claiming "It was better" when really, you want to relive the feeling of discovery.

Gamer 1: Dude, I miss the old TF2. It was sooo much better!
Gamer 2: Nah, you just miss the past. It's The Nostalgia Effect, man.

Ferguson Effect

The unnecessary delay a Police Officer takes before lawfully taking someone's life. An unnecessary delay that puts an officer in grave danger himself because he is fearful of unjust criticism and scrutiny from the media, critics, citizens, celebrities and politicians, etc. The fear a Police Officer experiences for being wrongly accused of being a racist in a fatal shooting.

That cop almost got wasted because of the Ferguson Effect waiting too long to shoot Jimmy Jones fearing he would be called a racist.

The Smite Effect

In any moba game, when playing a character for free or on rotation you seemingly do great getting as many kills as possible. When you buy the character using your own money or the in game currency you seem to go terrible. There is no other explanation for this sudden bad play but the smite effect.

''Man Teemo was on rotation when I played him I went 40 and 0. Dude I bought him and suddenly went 1 and 11. Yeah bro the smite effect at its finest.''
