The American Football League game played between the New York Jets and the Oakland Raiders on November 17, 1968 in Oakland, California. The game owes it's fame to the fact that NBC decided to cut away from the broadcast in order to begin airing the made for tv movie "Heidi" on time.
The game had only 65 seconds left with the Jets leading 32-29 following a field goal. After the Raiders received the kick off, the network went to commercial only to return to the soporific misadventures of Heidi. Outraged viewers flooded the NBC switchboards with complaints, and stunned fans scrambled to their radios to listen as the Raiders completed a wild comeback by scoring 2 times on 3 plays to win the game 43-32. Quarterback Joe Namath and the Jets got their revenge 6 weeks later by beating the Raiders in the AFL Championship Game, and then beating the Baltimore Colts 16-7 in Superbowl III.
The NFL and the networks would later amend their policies to allow games in progress to be seen in their entirety in their home markets.

I can't believe I missed the end of the Heidi Game because of that stupid movie, it wasn't even the original Shirley Temple version.

Get the in game name mug.A killing game is when you have 16 Students with unique talents -also known as Ultimates or SHSL- in one area with no exits and force them to kill each other. When it inevitably happens, a monochromatic bear forces you to investigate the crime scene, interrogate your best friend, and participate in a class trial. There, you figure out who is the blackened who committed the crime and condem them to an execution which is weird and fucked up. This goes on for five chapters then the sixth is for figuring out the mastermind of the killing game where you figure out that it's been Junko Enoshima all along.

Get the game cube mug.A set of communities brought together via the Internet networks in order to discuss games and such. It is often found that any one of these communities can be found torn up, arguing on whether one game is better than the other, or arguing whether consoles or computer is better for computer games and such.
Do differentiate between a gaming community and a true-gamers community. A true-gamers community does not discriminate themselves between gaming genres and games, and utilities. A true-gamers community respects all gamers and enjoys gaming just for the fun of it. It is often found that a true-gamers community has a hierarchy of some sort, in which more renowned gamers are treated with higher respects and carry some sort of high-rank rep. Extremely rare.
Gaming communities are similar to those of Star Wars Facebook communities, torn up by their own views, left to argue forever.

Gaming Community looks like this:
"Hey, so you heard about this game Eve Online?"
"Eve Online? Oh, yeah, I heard that game's trash, similar to World of Warcraft."
"What are you saying, man? I mean, what's wrong with WoW?"
"Their graphics are trash, you know."
angrily fixes his bowtie
"Okay, listen here, you little shit..."
