A Hunger Games Effect

An effect often seen in books of the dystopian genre where the author inserts a slew of unfortunate, jarring events that leave the reader astonished and speechless, especially if a beloved character dies suddenly with little time to grieve.

In the book Mockingjay, from The Hunger Games Trilogy, the death of the character Finnick Odair shows A Hunger Games Effect in full force, where he dies so suddenly, it’s almost comical.

The Game

The Game is a non-tangible, ever-present game that is quite frequently lost. This game is constantly lost by Scotsmen and Irish people who think of Italy in terms other than "goin' down."

By thinking about Mr. Ciceroni like that, my Irish background has automatically caused me to lose The Game.

Gaming High

noun: A feeling of relaxation and total immersion within a video game.

It's late at night. The lights are out except for the blue fluorescent light of your game screen. You are fully immersed in the experience that is your game. Nothing else matters, not a worry in the world. Your entire body collapses, minus your fingers and eyes which are hard at work. You get a feeling in your stomach, one of excitement and joy for the game you're playing. But also, one of total relaxation and enlightenment. You have experienced a gaming high.
