Mapcore started in 2000, as a community of Half-Life level designers and texture artists. Since then, core members of this community have contributed to almost every major half-life mod, including Counter-Strike and Day of Defeat. Several members of the community have even gone on to professional careers in game development and contributed to titles such as Brothers in Arms, Vampire: Bloodlines and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

Today mapcore is a group of people, both amateur and professionals who share the same passion of game design and development on all platforms and engines. Through the website presence at www.mapcore.net and the irc channel, the aim was to provide a community for developers to socialize, learn, teach, and draw talent from.

mapcrunch

MapCrunch is a website that leads you to a random place on Google Street view, anywhere in the world.

The existence of this site lead to the invention of the online MapCrunch Game (also known as "airport game" or "MapCrunch Airport Quest"). To participate in the game, you just go to the site (mapcrunch.com), click "hide location" and press "go", then you start looking for the nearest airport (with as less help as possible), so you can go back home.

The game was invented by the community of Tumblr and caused the website serious server troubles on Feb 19th 2012 because the site hits went up by almost 1500% within 24 hrs.

I spent my whole night on MapCrunch. Apparently Canada doesn't have any airports at all.

Mapcrunch

A website that is essentially Google streetview, but you can hide your location and randomize it.

On February 19th, 2012, a post on tumblr introduced the airport game. Hiding your location, the game begins with randomizing your location, then finding an airport to "get back home". Led to the majority of tumblr wandering far corners of the Earth for hours, following random trucks. Screenshots were abound on tumblr of random locations combined with the player's declaration of misery. Occasionally someone managed to find the airport. Such people were revered as gods.

Person 1: What's with all of these airport posts on tumblr?
Tumblr user: WHO PUT THESE MOUNTAINS HERE?
Person 1: What.
Person 2: Mapcrunch.
Person 1: Still what.
Tumblr user: THE TRUCKS LIE.

Whale

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.

"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.

Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?
