The first video game console. It came out in 1972 by Magnavox, and wasn't very complex at all, it's sequel the Odyssey 2, which came out in 1978 totally ruled, then it eventually faded away as it's counterparts took the market due to the Odyssey 2's lack of 3rd party game supporters. By 1983 however, the Odyssey 2 had sold over 1,000,000 units in North America! It was called the Philips VideoPac G7000 in Europe, and in Brazil, it was called the "Odyssey" because the first Odyssey was never introduced there. It was a very good system at the time. It features many new games, as well as "rip-off's" of more popular games such as Pac-man, and Space Invaders. Odyssey 2 systems were the first device to use the first Intel processor, the Intel 8048 cpu. Making it a marvel in the computer world as well as the video game market and collectors. The system is somewhat rare now. Over-all, the Odyssey in my view, is one of the coolest "retro" game systems ever!

The state of being too much into a girl group such that it affects negatively different aspects of your life.
Taken from Odyssey by Homer, specifically the part of the Sirens (from wikipedia):
"They skirted the land of the Sirens, who sang an enchanting song that normally caused passing sailors to steer toward the rocks, only to hit them and sink."

Odysseus’s clan had just finished pwning the Trojans in the Trojan War. After celebrating their victory with large amounts of fist-pumping, Odysseus and his men go trolling in the Cicones’ forum. Unfortunately, the Cicones dislike the newfags, and request that the moderators ban them. Odysseus gets perma-banned from the site, and six men from each squad had their accounts deleted for good measure.
The party then attempts to return to their clan’s homepage, Ithaca.net, but due to a 404 Error Redirect, they land on the site of the Lotus Eaters instead. The Lotus Eaters are a group of lethargic people who enjoy watching optical illusions and double rainbows while snacking on some joints. They manage to persuade a few of Odysseus’s men to sample some Lotus/M. C. Escher, and the noobs get their minds blown and refuse to leave the site with the clan. Odysseus pimpslaps some sense into them and brings them with him anyways, and they web-surf away to the forum of the Cyclopes.
Silly 1500 character count, this isn't even a 1/4th of the story!

A journey, generally referring to one long and with much peril. Also the English transliteration of a Greek epic written by Homer depicting the twenty year journey of Odysseus to return home.

Upon his return, Odysseus finds that multiple members are attempting to take his title of Leader, and they are vying for the support of his second-in-command, Penelope. He finds his apprentice, Telemachus, who has risen to the rank of Senior Member during the time Odysseus was gone, and they agree that the other members must be banned. Odysseus gains the support of two of his moderators, Eumaeus and Philoteus, and they prepare the banhammer for a massacre. Meanwhile, Penelope, hearing rumors of Odysseus’s return, holds a contest for the members, claiming that the winner will hold the title of Leader. She demands they free-hand a portrait of themselves shooting an arrow through twelve bronze ax-sockets in MS Paint, and only Odysseus is able to do so, disguised as a Guest. Revealing his true identity by logging onto his main account, Odysseus proceeds to ban the entire member list, sparing only those who did not attempt to woo Penelope. He deranks his third moderator, Melanthius, to Junior Member, and then proceeds to delete the account, as Melanthius had helped the members instead of him. Twelve of Penelope’s apprentices also had their accounts deleted, as they had been on the friends lists of the ambitious members. Satisfied, Odysseus sends a private message to Penelope, who recognizes Odysseus from the olive tree in his signature. Odysseus takes back his leadership, and Ithaca.net is at peace once more.
