A form of pseudo-gamer that only plays what is famous or popular at the time such as Bioshock, Assassins Creed, CoD:MW, CoD: WaW, CoD:MW2, CoD:BO. A "pop-gamer" is not deffined mainly by what he/she plays but by what he/she plays and a lack of knowledge or playtime with other games meaning that one who plays Black Ops yet could still tell you what Aprature Science is and what series and company made it and has played through Unreal and not just played Unreal Tourney '03/'04 and could not tell you the original name of Mario and what game he first cameo'd in.

Get the Pop-gamer mug.A game show that "pops-up". They are often made as a cheap way to make money. Typical traits include: winning fuck all in prizes (typically £10,000 or under), going home with nothing if you lose and no competition (one contestant/team per programme). They tend to get cancelled very quickly. An example of a pop-up game show is BBC's The Wall.
