The Glossary of Doom

The Glossary of Doom is a service I provide so that you can understand what the hell I'm saying. Feel free to use these terms in your daily life. For example:

"I was going to mow the lawn, but I was wanking too hard to the stat porn in Monster Hunter Freedom 2 and I wound up staying inside until dinner."

This post will change as I think of new things to put in.

wank - (v) - to engage in an activity, particularly in gaming, that is pleasurably excessive. For example, trying to get your attack stat in Disgaea up over ten million is very much wanking. Comes from the British slang term for masturbation.

stat porn - (n) - excessive statistics in a video game (at its most basic). Typically expands to mean "the quality of promoting long, heavy wanking." Comes from extended analogy to "wank."

This time, the content is not optional

Given that otherwise this would be kind of empty, a post is needed. I shall take this time to greet my reader(s).

Hello! I can see you. Wait, is someone else coming in? Oh, no, they just wanted to use the bathroom. Oh well. Second door on the left.

This blog will primarily be a place for me to write about games - design, reviews, complaints, whatever - as I see fit. It's nice to have a space to do just that; I always felt guilty inserting heavy gaming theory (oh yeah, there might be like...math and stuff, if I think it's needed) into something that was originally for "how I'm doing." That said, other stuff - my thoughts on something going on in my life, or some issue in *shudder* politics - might also wind up in here, but...not so often, yeah?

Updates should come at least every three days, with gooey new semi-random crap.

Thanks for coming, don't be a stranger.
