Gamer's Tourette Syndrome (GTS)

the spontaneous utterance of socially objectionable or taboo words or phrases while playing a video game and to name just a few: Halo, COH, FIFA and MMORPGS

Having similarity to the most publicized Tourette Syndrome "Coprolalia", the phrases uttered by a gamer with GTS do not necessarily reflect the thoughts or opinions of the person.

While playing a video game, the gamer's character suddenly gets ambushed/attacked, dies, or was faced with something unexpected and utters an obscene words such as "F*ck! or B!tch!

Example: The house is quiet and the roommate is playing a video game while wearing his headphones so he wouldn't disturb the other people in the house

In the living room:
Gamer: (out loud) "F*******CK!!!"

At the dining table:
Non-Gamer 1 (Guest): (startled) what? what just happened?
Non-Gamer 2: "oh it's nothing, he just have Gamer's Tourette Syndrome (GTS) when he plays his video games."

Crap Game Syndrome 

Crap Game Syndrome, or CGS, is an uncommon condition among the modern gaming population that usually starts with a simple case of nostalgia, but can quickly develop into CGS if not dealt with straight away.

Symptoms include browsing abandonware sites like The Underdogs for anything pre-1990; finding excuses to boot into DOS mode and coming home with a copy of Daikatana under one arm and Battlecruiser under the other.

Note that certain older games, like Tetris and Breakout, are excluded from the effects of CGS. It's okay to play these once in awhile without succumbing to its influence.

"Dude, why the hell are you playing Battlecruiser?"
"It's kind of fun once you try it."
"So is a crap on the sidewalk. Face it man, you have CGS bad."

"Hey, is that Daikatana?"
"Yeah, I'm coming down with Crap Game Syndrome."
"Burn it now before throw you down a well."
