pixel delerium

Video game induced stupor developed after playing obsessively for hours on end.

We spent so long trying to beat that level last night that I ended up with pixel delerium. I could hardly focus on the road driving home afterwards.

pixel fuck

To nit-pick on a creative project that is not your own, usually focusing on minor details that eventually stack up and change the look and feel of the piece. Very unnerving to the creative in charge of the project, especially if the pixel fucker is standing right behind the creative during the production.

Account Exec: Hey...you finish editing that spot yesterday?
Editor: Hell no! I thought we were going to be done by lunch time, but the stupid client pixel fucked it until midnight. He'll be here in a hour for more.

pixel-fucking

When someone pays way too much attention looking at a visual effects shot in a film. Often happens when examining the grain of a composite element to make sure it matches the film stock. Someone who pixel-fucks pays more attention to things like grain than the overall effectiveness of the shot. This is often because they are small-minded bean-counters, and miss the point of a shot entirely.

Closely related to 'frame-fucking'. See also 'pixel-fucking microscope'.

"Man, I can't believe that the director is pixel-fucking my shot."

pixel wanking

An endless and usually contradictory stream of requests - from "business guys" - to move an image or part of a web page up|left|right|down X pixels so that it lines up with some other arbitrary and unrelated part of the web application.

An often fatal disease, mostly affecting business owners and project managers which typically ends in a horrible death - usually by bludgeoning with the nearest blunt implement (a keyboard to the face is a common cause of death).

Business Guy: "Hey, front end guy, could you just move that line of text so that the bottom of it lines up with the top of the letter 'M' in the third paragraph of the second column six words from the left and diagonally across from that image of a flux capacitor?"

Front End Guy: "Dude, I've had enough of you and your endless pixel wanking. Taste my keyboard of death, motherfucker!"
