Vertical video syndrome

An affliction of those that record video using an upright mobile phone - as if taking a portrait photograph. My left eye is not in the centre of my forehead, my right eye is not on the tip of my nose.
This evening, I will rotate my TV by 90 degrees to enjoy the YouTube spectacle of Jimmy Somerville spontaneously joining a busker who happened to be singing Hometown Boy recorded by someone with vertical video syndrome.

A statement made when you need to quickly get out of a situation or leave the conversation or a room. A great excuse for tardiness or and absence.

Also an euphemism for going number 2.

A line used many times by Patrick Bateman in the book "American Physco." written by Bret Easton Ellis
"Where you going, dude? We got another round of beers coming?"

"I have to return some video tapes."

----
"Those fish tacos tore me up. Umm, I have to return some video tapes."

Psychological Video

The opposite of a realistic ghost video.

Popular in the early 2000s, they usually contained more obvious editing and special effects than regular Ghost videos, which were supposed to be taken seriously.
Guy #1: Omg this video is so creepy, I would've moved out of that house if I were them!

Guy #2: That's not a ghost, it just a Psychological Video.
Guy #1: Well then nice editing. I guess I'm gonna have nightmares now.

Video Game Depression

A state that occurs when an average video gamer becomes less fond of his current games. In most cases the average gamer starts playing less and is less interested in video games. The only known relief is the purchase of a new game.
1 Hey, Bud you haven't been on in a long time.

2 Yeah all my games appear to be boring and useless.

1 Oh No, your in a video game depression!

Video Games Cause Violence

A scapegoat mantra chanted by ultra-conservatives and the news media whenever a violent incident occurs in the United States
Just one of many forms of Americans shrugging off accountability.
Damn dude, did you see the news? Kyle got arrested for beating up an old woman at the Waffle House. His alcoholic mom just got interviewed by the local news. She was blaming Marilyn Manson and Minecraft, on that whole "video games cause violence" tangent. When is she going to wake up and see that her son has always been an asshole and she's had 27 years to do something about it?

Post Video Game Depression

The emptiness you feel inside yourself when you complete the main storyline/campaign of a magnificent game (such as The Last of Us, any of the Uncharted installments and The Walking Dead game by Telltale) and have a brief period of depression where you seem to have no reason to move on with your life.
James: Hey Joe, how was that new game by Naughty Dog?
Joe: Oh, The Last of Us? It was amazing. When the credits started rolling, I went through post video game depression for a short while.
James: I bet. Had the same feeling with Mass Effect 3.
