8-bit eyes 

When the brain sends signals to the tear ducts due to the excessive focus of your eyes on any 8-bit graphics causing your tear ducts to release enough fluid or "tears" to keep your eyes glossy. Also dilated pupils may be involved. You will also notice a slight change in your vision due to the minimal amount of tears shedding on your eyes.
"During gameplay on tetris for the Nintendo Entertainment System, my 8-bit eyes started to appear and it became noticable to others sitting around me."
Note: 8-bit eyes may look similar to anime characters during their glossy eyed moments.

8-bit theater 

Once a great online web comic that was perhaps one of the best available during its peak, this comic has since seen a steady decline in quality. Common theories for this include the author failing to come up with a replacement comic that anyone gives a rats ass about anymore.

In a failed attempt at an April Fools' Day joke, the author made a "joke" comic with the words "The End" as the last panel. The result was that fans wrote in thanking him for his time and devotion to the comic and for providing them with closure as lame as it was. He has since deluded himself into thinking that the fans were pulling a prank back on him when in fact they were serious about being glad the comic was finally over.
Brian Clevinger is jumping the shark with 8-bit theater these days.

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.
I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
