Betaman 

A betaman (beta male) has confidence, loyalty, self awareness, emotional intelligence and does not need to prove himself superior to other males (like the alpha does).

In todays age - the betaman (beta male) is a person who people - both males and females are drawn to for their positive energy and gravitas.

A betaman (beta male) is often described (by an 'alpha male') as passive and lacking in confidence and success.
This is a delusional and outdated concept.

Female: "That guy over there - yeh him, the one that just admitted he can be wrong sometimes. He's a betaman. Why can't you be more like him?"

(Alpha Male): "Football, beer, shut up"

Gary Bettman Hat Trick 

The inglorious feat of having three lockouts occur during your tenure as NHL Commissioner.

With the lockout becoming official on September 15, 2012, Gary Bettman would oversee the third lockout since he became commissioner in 1993.

Like a hockey player scoring three goals in one game, this accomplishment would be named after him: the Gary Bettman Hat Trick.

Betamax

In the late '70s and early '80s, a format war ensued between two video cassette formats, VHS and Betamax. These two competing standards for recording video onto cassettes both tried to make their format look as good as possible. Betamax arguably had better picture quality, according to many experts, but VHS won mainly because of it's longer recording time and cheaper recorder price.

So, Betamax lost the format war. But many professional recorders leaned toward Betamax because of its better picture quality compared to VHS. It didn't fade into obscurity right away, but when VHS achieved near total dominion, it was mostly forgotten. On a standard L-500 tape, a Betamax recorder could record 1 hour with Beta 1 recording speed, and 2 hours with Beta 2 speed. VHS, on the other hand, could record 2 hours on SP (the equivalent of Beta 1) and 4 hours on LP (the equivalent of Beta 2). This short recording time, combined with a variety of other factors like less advanced timers, caused the downfall of Betamax.

Since the main purpose of owning a videocassette recorder was timeshifting, or recording programs to watch at a specific time, the timer and recording length were very important. Betamax had neither of these going in their favor, so it lost the fairly drawn-out format war.

Betamax was developed by Sony, and was first to market, but eventually, even though a very big company had a first-to-market advantage, they still lost because of the fatal flaws the product had.

In 1980, a customer has to decide between a Betamax or VHS VCR.
Customer: "Hmmm... Should I get the more expensive Betamax machine with a less advanced timer, more expensive tapes, less recording time per tape, a smaller library, and better picture quality, or the VHS machine that is less expensive, has a larger movie library, cheaper tapes, more recording time per tape, but worse picture quality?"

"Betamax is dead, long live VHS!"

Beatmania IIDX

(Also known as: IIDX)

A 7 keys and turntable game made by Konami, the same people who brought us Dance Dance Revolution. It is far more challenging, harder to find, and has better songs than DDR. Most of the people that I've seen play at my local arcade are pretty skilled, and aren't fat Wapanese bastards.

You don't believe me when I say IIDX's music is better? Go listen to the song "thunder," which is from that game.
