Consolification

Consolified:

Simplified enough for a console, though not always their fault. Or have the feel of a halfhearted port to the PC from console.

Either: Overlapping key assignments, for example tap for one thing, hold for another (DX:HR knock out/kill), or different effects in different situations (run/cover mass effect, or free run/jump assassins creed). Basically the controls feel cramped, and could be easily spread out on the keyboard/(8 button)mouse.

OR: Interface optimised for console, then ported to PC (eg: Deus Ex: Human revolutions - hacking, witcher 2 abilities, assassins creed select menu... etc etc etc). Alternatively crippled graphics for the PC, so consoles can run it too.

OR: The game just feels dumbed down, so that it would work with consoles not having a mouse (eg: Deus Ex: invisible war - 'simplified' inventory), or even more frustrating, not being able to select stuff on an interface with a mouse, but rather having to go through an awkward series of up down left and rights.

OR: Finally, and it has to be said: story modified for a 'console' audience.

Example of most consolification: Modern Warfare 2 (story, graphics, keys overlapping, and no looking around corners).

Example of a console game brought to the PC: Assassins Creed

Her consort consolation for today is a new Hermes scarf from Neiman's.
Various consort consolations could be, volunteer work,exercise & facials, crafts, overeating at home, lunch w/ "girlfriends",or even watching "Oprah" or "Dr Phil", while eating expensive ice cream out of the container.

To consolidate

To heartily consume an entire pint of Guinness. The process of consolidation has three stages. First, ordering a pint with the correct grammatical formation; NOT Guinnesses (or Guineii). Second, drinking the pint in its entirety at a pace sufficient to maintain a head until the last gulp. Third, sitting back to ponder the blatant superiority of Guinness above all other brews.
