To be the one that dies behind a teammate when that teammate should be the one to die in a video game.
While playing a video game, the player dies even though his teammates should have died first due to being the one that the enemy is targeting or should have targeted first. This effect occurs when one is unlucky enough to die first or be the only one to die when his friends/teammates should have been the one to die due to being in front of him/her.

Example:
* 2 Players enter a room and the enemy kills the second player but not the first *
Brandon: How did I die and you lived when I entered the room second?!?!
Tristan: LOL, that's the Chen Effect for you.

The thread was subtly won with the Arkam Effect when his comment carried overtones of eeriness and alien logic.
The Arkham Effect was in blatant use when she wrote "bugger me, you're Great Cthulhu's grumpy, uglier brother, aren't you?"
The Arkham Effect can include a form of double entendre like "I can tell the from your reasoning that you're a deep one".

Derived from the Stonewall Riots of June, 1969, which are generally regarded as a turning point in the history of LGBT civil rights activism throughout the world.
When the kids from the Glee Club gave the guys from the football team a sound thrashing, it triggered a stonewall effect throughout the school, and nothing was ever the same again.
