Gradarius 

Share definition Flag
A piece of shit AI artificial learning program to help students learn calculus. Fashioned at Stevens Institute of Technology, but apparently outsourced to Russia according to certain professors and students, this 14 million dollar program will let your perform 1000 calculations per second, and they're all wrong.

The note that came attached in the mail with the 14 million dollar check was "teach calculus", and by God, they've done it. With vague instructions to flat out impossible problems, the School of Innovation has done it again, with simple aesthetic flair. Daylight Savings, which wasn't accounted for in apparently any of the code, causes your assignments to be due an hour earlier, and also allows for the accelerated deterioration of your mental state as your professors simply cannot or will not assist you to solve that one MA 124 problem. In many cases, an email explaining that "Gradarius is broken and will not give me full credit" is enough to pass by on problems which you simply didn't understand anyways.

From MA 121 to 124, Gradarius will be the gentle guiding hand which will shove you off the 14th floor of Howe.

Oh yeah, and it costs $20 a semester, because fuck you.
"Oh, did you see ______ wearing that 'Fuck Gradarius' shirt?"
"Yeah, they got it custom. Man, that program is so jank. I wrote 1=2 and it accepted it as 'part of the essential steps toward the solution'".
"Fucking blue check, man".

Gradius is Konami's horizontal shoot 'em up series.
Similar games are R-Type, Silpheed, Phalanx, Darius, In the Hunt, Z-Out, Einhander, and Katakis. Over the years, the Gradius series has spawned a decent amount of sequels.

This series has always put you up against hulking, difficult bosses and in the PS2 installment, Gradius 5, the developers went over board and decided to take Gradius to a whole new level of intense action. Konami has also made a parody series on Gradius known as Parodius.

Gradius III 

Share definition Flag
One of the best motherfucking schooters of its time. Sadly overlooked by crappy games like GTA 3.
Person: So what games do you play?
Me: Many, Gradius III being one of them.
Person: It's 2003 and you still play games from 1990 with no cutscenes, 3D visuals, or badass graphics? You're retarded.
Me: Not all good games are new. *shoots him with a shotgun*

The game that actually introduced the Konami code (up up down down left right left right B A), most people think that it originally started in Contra. In this game, pausing the game and using the code gives you full powerups, but can only be done once per game.
Gradius is such a hard game, like most other NES games.

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
