Screener Season

Christmas for BitTorrent users.

Screener season takes place in early January to mid-February when special DVD copies of movies being considered for awards like the Oscars are sent out to voters.

These movies are usually still in theaters / cinemas at the time so the only other pirated copies around are poor quality cams.

Inevitably, these special copies find their way onto popular BitTorrent sites like Pirate Bay.

You can tell it's a screener because there's a watermark that pops up every so often saying "For Your Consideration".

Jim: Do you guys want to go see Django at the movie theatre on Thursday?

Dave: It's screener season next week dude, I can just hook my laptop up to the TV.

Jim: Oh sweet.

Figure on a Screen

A figure on a screen is a demonizing and negative word directed as an insult to someone you communicate with in your daily life, but do not respect or value as an actual friend. A figure on a screen is not a friend at all to the person expressing this word.

Person A speaking to Person B: You are a Figure on a screen to me and you mean nothing more , however James is an actual friend to me.

Screen Stalker

Somebody who watches another person's screen when playing a split screen fps game, in order to give them hints on their location, or to know when they are coming for them. Causes very much frustration to the person who is being stalked.

John sprayed his gun through a random roof, and killed Tom. Although that was the game winning kill, they both new that John was a screen stalker.

Screen Looker

Screen looker is someone who spies on their opponents in a split screen multiplayer match. It is used to determine their location, amount of health, and carried weapons. It was an integral part of Goldeneye and Perfect Dark gameplay.

"Hahah. I won again! I can't believe I killed you with a Klobb. If you were a better screen looker, you would have seen me coming up from behind you."
