(noun) The socially instinctive ritual where you start dropping names in rapid-fire succession upon discovering someone shares your hometown, school, or social circle. It's a subtle way of determining if you vibe with this new acquaintance based on mutual connections.
For example: "Oh, you're from Darien? Do you know Brian Minicus?" “Yeah, we played lacrosse together! Sick dude. What’d you say your name was?”
The Name Game isn’t just about finding common ground; it’s a quick and dirty method to gauge if this person is your kind of normal. It's practically a human nature litmus test.

Omg, I met your friend Trisha and we played the name game and realized she’s roommates with Claire’s older sister!

It's like The Penis Game, but instead of screaming "PENIS!", you have to scream somebody's name, e.g. your friend's name, your teacher's name, the name of that Asian kid who goes on all the national competitions etc.
P1: let's play the name game! I'm gonna start with (insert name).
P2:(iNsErT nAmE)
P1:(INSERT NAME)!
P3:(I N S E R T N A M E)!!1!!!
P1,2: wow

Hey, I just finished my Lego Pokemon Game!
Cool, what Set was it?
It was the one with Charizard and Pikachu.
You're no longer my friend.

a phrase that absolutely blew up in 2023 where people would say that playing videogames isn't fun anymore and act like they don't play the same 4 games everyday.
seriously, if you're finding gaming boring, then switch to another genre that you may find interesting, or go touch some grass. we didn't "grow up", you're just playing the same retarded game over and over, thus making you think that "gaming isn't fun as it used to be".
