Oblivion 

The fourth game in the Elder Scrolls series, and arguably the best game in the history of mankind. By purchasing this game, you have sold your soul to Bethesda Softworks--which is a pretty even trade-off, actually. Once you start this game--assuming your computer/Xbox 360 doesn't burst into flames of righteous fury due to it's lack of uberness-- you will not be seeing the sun for a while.

Side effects include: Weight loss, paleness of skin, weight gain, reluctance to leave your chair, death, peeing in a bottle, ordering pizza every night because you can't stop playing long enough to make some food, loss of the ability to distinguish between fantasy and reality
Because of Oblivion, I no longer have a soul!

God bless BethSoft for this gift to man.

Oblivion 

Something inevitable. We will all die one day and there will be no one to remember us. In a book, a man was afraid of oblivion, that no one would remember him when he dies. It is the state of being forgotten.
Augustus Waters is afraid of oblivion.

Oblivion NPC 

Braindead and acts like a robot in actual human interaction

both of these traits are shared with an NPC (non-player character) from the video game "Oblivion" hence the name.
The NPCs in this game are infamous for having the dumbest conversations and acting extremely robotic, snapping towards you if you engage with them.
These people will act just like in the game and are generally very stupid.
Paul: hello friend, would you enjoy a cup of coffee and a sandwich at the cafe for lunch, it would very much please me.
Friend: you are such an Oblivion NPC

Oblivion 

"There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon a nd maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that's what everyone else does."
"I fear oblivion. I fear it like the proverbial blind man whos afraid of the dark." -Augustus Waters

Sniper Oblivion

Term used to describe snipers on Modern Warfare 2 completely unaware of nearby enemies, usually due to the fact that they are extremely hardscoping and unable to see peripherals. Sniper Oblivion is usually noticed by other team mates in Search and Destroy after one is knifed and the sniper offers no support.
Bad Kid 1: (Enters death lobby) DAMMIT that Marathon/Lightweight douchebag knifed me again, I hope Jess gets him.

Jess: (enters death lobby) aww man. Where'd he come from?

Bad Kid 2: *sighs* Sniper Oblivion dude...

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
