Screening

A term used to describe a form of cheating in video games most common in the game mode split-screen, where the different players battle each other on one screen split into different compartments per player (4 player max.).

By looking at a other players screen, the location and other information about that player can be found.

Dude, the only reason you knew where I was hiding was because you were screening!

screenshit

A "bullshit screenshot"; a pre-rendered image that is displayed by video game magazines and websites in a manner that misleads the public into believing that it represent the game's actual looks. Word first used in the webcomic "Penny Arcade".

- Wow, check these pics of Red Steel on IGN! It looks awesome.
- Fakes, man! Pre-renders! Look, the Wii renders at 480p, but these pics are much bigger. So they are just screenshits!

main screen turn on

Broken english sentence said on the infamous Zero Wing game. This was supposed to be a good game; it was exceptional, however, but the English wasn't up to scratch. To get the full meaning out of this, play the Sega Genesis game or head down to Newgrounds.com, then you should have no problem wondering what the heck a lot of people are talking about.

Captain: What happen?
Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb.
Operator: We get signal!
Captain: What?!
Operator: Main screen turn on.
