XTASY

A graphics card brand by VisionTek, which is Powered by ATi graphics. It has over 15 kinds of graphics cards, varying by performance, memory, MHz VPU, AGP/PCI, and all come with a lifetime warranty.

Some models lack a decent manual, however.

Want a graphics card but don't wanna deal with ATi prices? Go third-party and get a VisionTek XTASY brand!

y1k

A joke used on Alabama, during "Weekend Update with Colin Quinn", a segment on Saturday Night Live on 11/13/99.

"The report also noted that, in terms of Y2K readiness, Alabama is the nation's least prepared state. Alabama authorities, however, insist that they'll get to the Y2K problem as soon as they address the state's long-standing Y1K difficulties."

Rainbow Six

A 700-page (hardcover) book by Tom Clancy, ex-SEAL John Clark forms a super secret multi-national anti-terrorism group, codenamed " Rainbow". Since Clark is the commander, he is known as "Rainbow Six".

It was then Red Storm Entertainment decided to turn Tom Clancy's story into a video game, and has become a huge success.

Gamer: Dude, wanna play a game of Rainbow Six 3 on XBox?
Reader: Nah, the book's way better.

famicom

The Japanese name of the Nintendo Entertainment system (NES). It might also be known as the "Nintendo Family Computer". It's an 8-bit console that played cartridge-style games. You can easily tell the difference from the US and JP version by its cosmetics; US had gray/black, JP had red/white/gold.

Wow, you're playing the NES? In 2005? You're totally old-school.

PStwo

The proper given name for the redesigned PlayStation 2. This new model is much smaller than the PS2, and even has a network adapter built in (saving you $40 at retail). It uses a flip-top lid instead of the old one, which is a tray that slides out.

To help reduce size of the new PStwo, it will not support the HDD, but it's still pretty damn small. But you like going to PS2 lan parties, you'd want this.

You still carrying that big hunk of crap? Sell that and get a PStwo.

Seat Filler

A regular person used to fill up space (usually) in award shows so it looks like it's packed full with people. Whenever somebody gets up to accept an award, a 'seat filler' is ordered to sit in that seat. They're may also be used to seperate celebrities from others, as award shows have a very strict seating chart to avoid any problems.

Guy: Alright, Maroon 5 is getting up to accept their 'award', you guys will take their seats.
