Ghost Train Ride

Coined by the Escapist’s Yahtzee Crowshaw (best known for his Zero Punctuation series) is a 3rd person, single player, narratively driven story game that aggressively railroads the player through set pieces that move through the ebb and flow of “Queue” (the player is usually walking or platforming through a section dedicated to low times and story narration, during this time collectibles are found in deviations from the set path), “Thrill” (breaks Queue’s calm by inserting “tense, action-filled” glorified cutscenes that will ask you to either hold the stick in a certain direction for a certain amount of time, press some QTEs, or avoid obstacles in a set route.), and finally the “Gift Shop” (post Thrill, occasionally post Queue sections usually some sort of combat area, most likely arena focused where the player must kill all the baddies in a set area before the doors open to the next area, usually paired with a upgrade tree to not only tick a box, but to give you a grain of spice in your combat soufflé, never largely changing the core combat system)
The newest in the Uncharted series is just another in the series of Ghost Train Rides

The act of shitting on the stairs and smearing it down them, then using it as a slide to slip down it.

The Trainline Effect

An observable effect that results in the myopic and inattentive rejection of newer technology without logic and reason, and accusing the technology of causing issues that are simply human error (while the technology provides accurate information based on the request made by the user). This can be observed amongst large samples of the railway workforce.
I observed The Trainline Effect in action as the militant RMT rep once again blogged about a broken ticket machine, exclaiming “COMPUTERS NEVER WORK!”

Trainxiety

The stress resulting from feeling as if you might miss your train.
I saw the train approaching from a distance and ran to the platform only to realize it was not my train and I was 5 minutes early. The trainxiety of the moment almost caused me to face plant on the tracks!
