Duty Call 

Much like a Booty Call, this occurs when a dude calls another dude at an ungodly hour (possibly drunk) to play Call of Duty.
Dude1: "Hey, what's up, you... awake?"
Dude2: "Dude, it's 2:30 in the morning."
Dude1: "Yeah, I just got home from the bar. You, uh, you want to come over and play some Modern Warfare 2?"
Dude2: "Dude, I can't be your Duty Call tonight, I have work in the morning."
Dude1: "C'mon, I need you... to help clear out the favela on veteran in spec ops mode."
Dude2: "I'm there, my job sucks anyway."

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
