ad whore

any game or movie or book advertised in more than 3 of the conventional forms of media (i.e. magazines, internet, tv) so much that major plot and gameplay points are exposed before the general release, or any game advertised on the 3 media+ food and beverage products at a high frequency.

person1: Dude, did you see the summer 2004-spring-2005 issues of Xbox Magazine? Halo 2 was such an ad whore!

GTS

A term in the new Pokemon Diamond and Pearl games. Short for "Global Trading Station." A sophisticated, long-awaited update to the somewhat tedious trading system, allowing one to post a pokemon up for adoption in exchange for a pokemon of their choice, with players around the world via Nintendo WiFi Connection. Quite possibly the greatest innovation in the new games, as posted pokemon can be traded overnight overnight, even while the DS is turned off. Of course, being that Diamond and Pearl were previously released in Japan over a year before they hit stateside, there are a TON of high-level trainers in Asia offering Turtwigs and Pinplups in exchange for higher level Dialga and Palkia. Of course, with the addition of millions of American players who've only had the game for a few days, the GeoNet is flooded with n00bs who'll take any pokemon they're looking for, no matter what level they are. For instance, I posted an almost useless lvl. 5 Abra with only teleport, and got a lvl 1. Japanese Cherubi overnight, which I decided to pan in favor of a rather nice lvl 14 female Combee specimen, which is quite rare and valuable. The system allows one to search or post a particular pokemon fitting three criteria: species, gender, and level group, which is AWESOME. All in all, the feature is much better than the Underground, a MMORPGesque realm underneath the game's region that allows for one to create their own secret base and mine for minerals to trade with other players visiting the Underground, along with battling, pokemon trading, and the ability to enter other people's bases and steal their flags.

GTS: the greatest feature in any Pokemon RPG.

Boy Scouts of America

To all those who have written or heard negatively about the BSA as a whole, NOT ALL participants in the Scouting Movement are: bigoted, right-wing, pro-life, vindictive, scum-sucking bastards. Although there are a few members that accurately fit some or all of the above descriptors, the REAL scouts actually adhere to most of the ideals represented by the Scout Oath and Law.

You may have heard that the entire BSA openly discriminates against people for there sexual orientations, religious beliefs, or lack thereof. NOT TRUE. Most troops, such as my own, are against discrimination. See also: Scout Oath.

An organization dedicated to providing fundamental life-skills and leadership training for young men and women. Membership requires dedication, honor, and character.

Neil Armstrong was an Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America.

The Boy Scouts of America. If the real world was like D&D, these people could be likened to a group of Paladins. Yes, that was a nerdy analogy, but at least I got the message across.

Know God, No Peace

Many people of the Abrahamic religions, specifically Christianity, have a saying: No God, No Peace, Know God, Know Peace. I cannot honestly be expected to believe that being a Christian will mean that I will know peace when all the Abrahamic cults are warring with one another.

Instead, I'm just going to assume that 'devoting oneself to the highest power' means 'selling out the the ones who won't kill you if you join them.'

Everyone has their own opinion on religion, of course, and therefore, it is impossible to create a world-wide peace when peace is agreement not to be enemies. For example, if a faith requires enemies to survive, its practitioners will continue to kill and maim and hurt others until the faith is dead or every last 'heretic' is no more than a memory.

Besides, organized religion defeats the purpose of free will, if you haven't noticed. That's why I'm the free and happy atheist that is completely stigmatized against any religion that doesn't offer the power to summon monsters based on a pact with the religion's deity.

Final Fantasy has some cool religions in it, ever hear of the Yevonites? Oh, wait, their leaders are corrupt and evil. Ever hear of the Covenant, a religious collective of alien races with one single goal? Oh, wait, that involves the total annihilation of all intelligent life in the galaxy. Star Wars has the coolest religion of all, though. May the Force be with you, always.

Believing in a deity raises more barriers than it lowers. Know God, No Peace.

Load Fairy's Target Practice

1. The most common victim of the Load fairy, used by him for honing his three key skills: speed, mass and accuracy (time elapsed between beginning of masturbation and the actual blowing of the load, actual amount of semen in entire load, and percentage of load that hit the bull's eye).
2. The person on the receiving end of a cum-shot.
3. Your mom.

1. The anonymous person drifted off to sleep perfectly, only to be awakened by the physical sensation of being the Load Fairy's Target Practice for the 2nd time that week.
2. That bitch? Yea, she's the LFTP, alright.
3. The dream your mother didn't quite aspire to by the time she turned 18, but she fulfilled it nonetheless.

Xbox

A famous video game console created by Microsoft. In its heyday, it had copious 1st and 3rd party support, in the form of game such as Halo: Combat Evolved by in-house developer Bungie Studios, and the GTA series by Rockstar Studios. This balance of developing and publishing power has earned the Xbox a reputation synonymous with socialism.

The Xbox, while having received a bad rap for being a product of Microsoft, was not unsuccessful, spawning the next system, the Xbox 360 in 2005.
