Video Game Ending Syndrome

Video Game Ending Syndrome is the intense feeling of sadness that a person may experience upon completion of a video game that the person was able to really immerse themselves in. These video games often draw the user into the their story, involving the user in the characters lives, so that when something happens to the characters the user feels emotions connected with it. This type of syndrome can be experienced mid-game if say, your favorite character is killed off, however it usually only appears at the conclusion of the game, wherein the story reaches its conclusion and the feeling of sadness is created by either the events in the conclusion, or simply the fact that gameplay, and the storyline is not over. This syndrome usually lasts at maximum one day, and can be cured by the purchase of a new video game which is equally involving. There is also some evidence to suggest a similar syndrome exists with "books" however this is impossible to test since the art of reading has been lost for many years.

Dude 1: Oh right...Video Game Ending Syndrome... I had that when I finished Red Dead Redemption...poor guy.

Don't Hate The Playa/Playette Hate The Game

Do not fault the successful participant in a flawed system; try instead to discern and rebuke that aspect of its organization which allows or encourages the behavior that has provoked your displeasure.

Teacher: You have plagarized this essay.
Student: Don't hate the player; hate the game.

gamespot

A gaming website that gave Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 a 10.0. 'Nuff said.

And people wonder why Jeff Gerstmann got fired from Gamespot.

Fox News Drinking Game

A drinking game that can be played almost any time of day.

This is the "minority" version.
While watching an opinion program such as "Glenn Beck" or "Huckabee" watch for shots of the audience. If you see a Mexican you do 5 shots. An African American: 4, and Indian 3,an Asian 2, and 1 for anybody in between (non-white). You will most likely be able to drive home afterward.

This is the "constitution" version.
While watching "Glenn Beck" listen for any vague references to the constitution. Also listen for random buzz words such as "liberty" or "founding fathers". Take shots accordingly.

This is the "propaganda" version.
While watching any Fox News at any time, watch for Nazi or Soviet propaganda take shots accordingly.

We got wasted playing the "Fox News Drinking Game"

gamebolts

1. visible veins within the eyelids occasionally giving the appearance of a lavender discharge of lightning.

2. computer hardware which complete a gaming tower; screws.

Upon examining the patient's gamebolts, the optometrist was sure the subject was either a hardcore gamer or a vampire.
