Activision 

An American video game company that is ran by a bunch of money grubbing monkies. The company itself is a money grubbing scrub.

During the development of Black Ops, Activision published the game even though the developers of Black Ops, Treyarch, haven't completely tested the game on the PS3. This led Treyarch to release multiple patches and updates for the PS3 version of Black Ops, because it couldn't function online.

An upcoming video game, Modern Warfare 3, is being published by Activision, any mw3 lovers out there don't be surprised if it doesn't work properly if Activision sends it out when its incomplete
Dude I just bought Call of Duty Black Ops and it didn't fucking work on the PS3, those money grubbing scrubs that work for Activision screwed the game in the asshole.

I'm not gonna let Activision publish the video game because they are money grubbing fucks who are in it for the money and don't give a shit about the game.

If it weren't for raging fans of video games, Activision wouldn't be fucking rich

Activision 

the visual impairment caused by playing too much Guitar Hero, DJ Hero, Band Hero, or Rock Band that makes it seem like the background and foreground are melting while the middle-ground stays still.

this symptom nearly always falls in conjunction with, but is not exclusively tied too any of the following: dizziness, Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, loss of friends, loneliness, virginity, false feelings of self accomplishment, pretending to know how to pretend to play the guitar, turntables, drums, etc.. excessive use of air-drums, air-guitar, amateurish beat boxing, and or scratching motions with one's middle and forefingers.

if someone you know is experiencing activision, DON'T PANIC!! chances are they are not your friend anyway and it is recommended that a doctor be consulted before realizing that there isn't shit you can do about it short of mercilessly, but lovingly beating them with their own plastic instruments. this will cure the activision, and leave you feeling satisfied and relieved.
inflicted: "woah... the room looks like its melting"

person: "that's called activision. it happened because youve been in a dark room for 5 hours trying to beat "through the fire and the flames" on expert and didnt stop to give your eyes a rest"

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
