Not to be confused with a Graphics Whore, a Graphics Gremlin is someone who will hate on a video game for daring to have graphical fidelity below their own standards.
These type of people will often say things like "this looks like a PS2 game" or "This doesn't look as good as X". They're so caught up in graphical fidelity that they often ignore the prospect that games are art and can look any way the developers please for any purpose and that the vast majority of people care about gameplay first when it comes to a video game. Graphics Gremlins are also (but not always) console fanboys who will downplay graphical fidelity of opposing consoles releases treating it like a definitive selling point of any video game purchase and a slam-dunk argument against the product. Graphics Gremlins cannot be pleased and will often abandon favorable opinions of graphics for games they once loved as soon as a newer game comes out that surpasses it restarting their cycle of hatred.

That guy is a Graphics Gremlin, he's going out of his way to tell people not to buy a game because it doesn't meet his graphical standards instead of letting them decide for themself.

A person that can talk about facts or/and listen to them all day. They are always very passionate about every fact and will talk about it in very expensive ways. They mostly don't know more about a subject than fun facts.
- You are very passionate about this subject! Do you study it?
- No I just spent 5 hours listening to fun facts about it.
-Oh so you are a fact gremlin!

Piss Gremlin- (N) 1. A druggie who smells like piss. 2. Somebody that is very extremely liberal or conservative. That creep at your school who just gives you pedophile or rapist vibes.

To get mean and ugly when drinking. Just as the Gremlin of 80s mythology multiplied when wet, so can the ugliness of some people grow when drinking malt liquor or other nasty alcohol.
Sorry I pulled a gremlin last night...I guess I've been kinda stressed lately and 120oz of King Cobra didn't help.
Don't pull a gremlin again or you're cut off the Colt 45, dude.
