ganker

WoW term. Too stupid to enter a battleground, while also being too idiotic to do something constructive or useful with his/her game time/life, so they are often sighted grouping up and attacking lower level players from behind while they fight something else or recover from a fight.
Damn gankers, camping at Nesignwary's and killing everyone on sight.

gank

verb (Online, MMORPG usage)
1. To kill another player using a group of players
2. To kill another player using any means that places the played to be killed at a substantial disadvantage.

Widely popularised following the success of World of Warcraft, the word "gank" comes from "gang kill", used in earlier MMORPGs like Ultima Online. A gang kill occurs when a group (or gang) of players attack a single one and kill him/her with relative ease.

The meaning has now extended to any player kill where the killed player had little chance to avoid death.
"I was ganked by a level 60 horde"
"You had no chance to avoid that rogue! Ganked!"

Gran Turismo 5

The younger, better looking, more relevant little sister of Gran Turismo 4, albeit being dumber, more ridiculous, less sophisticated, unrevolutionary, blonder, less compatible, more inarticulate than her sibling.

Still immensely great fun to look at, play with, and to go to sleep dreaming of it.
Eg. 1) Comparing Gran Turismo 5 to Gran Turismo 4 is like Serena Williams to Venus Williams - both are ridiculously brilliant, have been world champions, and are still the best in their league, but the older has been more spectacular in a field of spectacularness.

Eg. 2) I played Gran Turismo 5 today, and went to sleep dreaming of camber, toe, dampers, spring rates, drafting, fuel conservation, turbos, intercoolers, racing lines, and cars that are sexier and more distracting than the semi-naked Jessica Alba sitting in it.
