Masterball Effect

The psychological dilemma that occurs when playing a video game and feeling the need to conserve powerful/unique items til the end of the game in fear of not being able to win without them and instead using worse items. This usually ends in disappointment as the powerful/unique items are then never used but the game is still won in a more difficult manner using the weaker and useless items.

I just played the new COD campaign and saved the RPG til the end but didn't even need it, must have been the masterball effect.

The Sallis Effect

When that one prankster shows back up to the office and now everyone is accusing each other of things they did not do. Sorry again Paul!

I lost my silverware and immediately accused Paul of hiding it. The Sallis Effect strikes again.

Kerbal Effect

The Kerbal Effect: when a videogame inspires a person to pursue a career path that they had not planned on before, named as it is because of the many people that have pursued degrees in aerospace engineering because of Kerbal Space Program.

I just saw another Kerbal Effect post on Reddit where someone got degrees in aerospace and mechanical engineering because they bought KSP.
