progress quest

1. n. A satirical game where the only player input is race and class selection, and starting stat rolls. The game consists of a windowed collection of all the finest aspects of a role-playing game, and progress bars to represent various aspects of your character, with no purpose other than to give the player the comfort of "watching their numbers go up" without so much as lifting a finger.

2. v. To reach a point in an RPG where achieving any goal is simply a matter of following an algorithmic process.

2. "If I cast these mad buffs, this broken DOT spell, and hit this guy six times with my sword, he dies. Then I repair my EQ, rest, and he respawns. I get all these fatty lootz, and my numbers just keep going up!"
"Way to go, man. Sounds sort of like Progress Quest."

Progress Barf

The act of a computer software progress bar (percent complete indicator) that gets stuck at 99% or 100% or even worse wraps back around to 0% and starts all over.

Ted: "Hey Ed, are you ready to go? We're waiting!"

Ed: "Sorry, I went to apply these Adobe and Microsoft software patches and I *thought* they were done but now I am stuck in Progress Barf hell because someone needs to teach those bastards what the definition of 100% complete actually means!!!! This progress bar just keeps wrapping around, not sure why they even bother, it should just show a picture of a dude with a gun to his head going 'click click click'!"

Ted: "I feel your pain Bro. Catch ya later!"
