The Peter Stone Syndrome

To have some form of romantic relation with someone one day, and the next day that someone chooses to ignore you for a long period of time. You, the victim, feel the need to confront that someone, but when you do so, you get shot down and then you die.

"'I think I have The Peter Stone Syndrome...' 'You mean your life completely sucks right now?' 'Yeah basically I'ma jump too high on a trampoline and get rocketed into space and die now.'" Beware of The Peter Stone Syndrome. BEWARE!

Elisha Grey Syndrome

Developing a new idea independently (i.e., without assistance of others), only to discover that someone else has already developed the same idea.

Named for Elisha Grey, who invented the telephone independently of and at the same time as Alexander Graham Bell. Though they filed for patents on the same day, Bell won the patent battle in court.

I had a brilliant idea the other day about how this neighborhood really could use a donut-shop. Then, I found out one is scheduled to open next week. Guess I have Elisha Grey Syndrome.

Husk World Syndrome

The effect most open world video games suffer from after the player has completed the main story and most of the side missions. Symptoms of HWS (Husk World Symptome) include feelings of boredom, depression, anxiety due to loneliness due to lack of events happening, frustration (mainly that the game's shitty collection quests aren't compelling...at all), and the feeling that you missed out on a lot of real world opportunities because you were so wrapped up in a fictional story. HWS has lead many a gamer's ambition of 100% completion to any early, depressing grave.

*Please not that HWS can occur with any open world game, not just the shitty ones.

Guy 1: I just got done with Batman: Arkham City... I mean I beat the story, but I just can't bring myself to collect all the Riddler Trophies because flying around a silent Arkham freaks me out. I'm sure there are more side missions, but the game really suffers from Husk World Syndrome now.

Guy 2: I felt the same way one hour after beating GTA IV.
