Hype Effect

An effect which occurs when one is anticipating an upcoming game. The need becomes so great that other games become dull and boring in comparison. In more serious cases it can affect the viewing of television programmes, making them seem less interesting as well. In the most severe cases it can affect the viewing of pornography in the same way.
The hype effect is kicking in. Nothing is fun anymore. Not Netflix, not even Pokémon. I can't go on like this.

The Jason Lemkin Effect

The Jason Lemkin effect is when you feel 10X more excitement for one event/project over others competing for your attention.
I paid $$$ to watch Metallica's 40y anniversary show this December, both on Friday and Sunday, in the Chase Arena. But for some reason, I feel way more excited about SaaStr Annual 2021 that I got a free ticket for - this has got to be the Jason Lemkin Effect.

The Angus Effect

The Angus Effect refers to a bell curve of skill in video games, wherein a less experienced player can unconsciously leverage their inexperience to their advantage, defeating a more "skilled" opponent through an unconventional and unpredictable play style.
Man 1: Did you see the Angus vs Reuben 1v1 in Siege last night? Angus destroyed him!
Man 2: Yes I did! It must've been because Reuben was high. In what other conceivable way could Angus have realistically beat him?
Man 1: I'm telling you, it's the Angus effect! This has happened time and time again.
