licking Doorknobs is illegal on other planets

Planetside 

Quite possibly the most under-rated game of all time. Due to a clunky interface and system requirements that very few people could meet in May of 2003(When the game was released) it did not catch on as planned.

Those lucky few who knew of this game and had rigs that could run it, got to enjoy the worlds only (and best) MMOFPS... until BFRs came out and ruined the whole fucking game. (Thanks Sony!)

Now relegated to the annals of 'Great Games ruined by arrogant pricks who had the gall to tell the player base what they wanted rather than listening to them' history.

Oh yeah, and if you sucked at PS there was always WoW.

Planetes 

1) The english spelling of a Greek word made up of the characters Pi, Lambda, Alpha, Nu , Epsilon, Tau, Epsilon, Sigma. It means "Wanderer" or "Traveler".

2) An extremely well made, and very realistic Sci-Fi anime series that takes place in the year 2075. The story primarily follows the exploits of Hoshino Hachirota, a troubled young man who works as an astronaut for the private space company "Technora Corp", with a team of diverse and interesting characters who's job is to remove dangerous space debris from Earth's orbit. In short, they are space garbage men.

At its core, Planetes is a story of personal conquest.
Planetes is one of the greatest and most inspirational anime series I have ever seen.

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!
