The Glow 

When a person playing a video game is so involved, so focused that they only have sights for the screen, then maybe, just maybe, they will get “the glow”. You know the glow when you see it. When someone has the glow, they are so in the zone that any outside interruption will throw them completely off, and they could respond with violent repercussions.

The first recorded time someone had the glow was in Hollywood, California in 1999 when Billy Mitchell completes the first-ever perfect game of Pac-Man.

The glow stick method

When a male sees a big tiddy goth girl in a Dollar Store and gets a noticeable boner. The big tiddy goth girl notices, and winks at the man. The pair go behind the counter and the big tiddy goth girl takes out his boner, but instead of using a DS stylus she wraps both hands around the shaft (one at the top and one at the base) and snaps it in a downwards motion. Then after the snap, comes the vigorous shake.
