Responsibility

Something I avoid like the plague.

I hate taking responsibility for accidents. It's not my fault that something I have no control over happened. If it was completely under my control and it happened, that would be one thing. Something you have no control over is a different story to me.

Piccolo

A Namekian. Son of Piccolo Daimou. Originated in the anime and manga Dragon Ball. Formerly Goku's rival, he was forced to join forces with him when Raditz, a Saiyan from the planet, Vegeta, invaded Earth. Killing Goku and Raditz in one decisive blow, Raditz warned everyone that two Saiyans would appear on Earth in one year. Piccolo took Gohan, Goku's son, and trained him to become a strong warrior.

Through the series, Piccolo went from a bad guy to defeat Goku to a hero with a strong, unshakable will. He battled some of the major villains in Dragon Ball Z, including Frieza, Cell, and some of the movie villains as well.

Piccolo is capable of strong abilities such as the Special Beam Cannon and the Hellzon Grenade. In addition to his strong fighting ability, he also has the ability to regenerate any limbs he loses in battle.

Unplayable

When a game just becomes so ridden with flaws that it's just simply no longer able to be enjoyed. This can apply to games that are just ridden with bad battle systems, petty annoyances that occur frequently, or other quirks.

Final Fantasy VI, on the PlayStation Final Fantasy Anthology version, is unplayable due to horrid lag times for menu screens, battle, towns, and encounters.

DEM

Shortened for deus ex machina, a term used to describe sudden plot twists in works of anime, movies, and other stories, normally involving a hero's fight against a villain, and favoring the hero, allowing him to win by otherwise unused methods within that fight.

DEM normally involves the hero getting beaten to a pulp until somehow ascends in power and uses that to destroy the villain in a matter of one or two hits.

Compensator

Someone who tries to make up for his lack of personality by trying to dress popular; a poser.
