g4tv

Soulless "gaming cable television channel" cut in the same mold as MTV.

Terrible off the street idiot hosts with annoying personality and no real gaming knowledge (or interest in gaming for that matter) other than what is on their teleprompter.

Cash influenced reviews and show content.

Entire channel exists not for entertainment but for advertising and exploiting the new surging popularity of gaming and the incompetant 12 year old internet fanboys that now dominate it.

Promotes the same dozen games all day with reruns, even when they only have about 12 hours worth of first run shows on a week. Plenty of extra space for "real" game coverage but they still limit coverage to the same mass marketed "fanboy bait".

Parent company recently bought, erased, and assimilated Tech TV effectively eliminating all intelligent competition to this rubbish channel called G$.

Kewl internet gaming kid: U see G4 dewd? Final Fantasy is tha best GAME E V A R!

Intelligent gamer: No & no.

lol'd

Essentially means "fucked up" or "screwed up".

"Is the server still down...?"
"Yeah, it's lol'd..."

prebuilt

1. Something with little or no assembly required after purchase.

2. Common reference, in the PC industry, to a "branded" PC i.e Dell, HP, Gateway, etc. typically featuring a "Intel" processor with the rest of the machine being assembled from generic & low quality parts and given a premium price tag.

Do not buy a prebuilt, or branded, PC. You can often build your own for less than half price.

griefer

Someone, usually in an online game, who intentionally, and usually repeatedly, attempts to degrade anothers experience or torment them.

Examples of griefing:

1. Player vs player abuse: Singling out the same person and killing them over and over when they are defensless until hey log off.

2. Kill stealing: Repeatedly trying to steal another persons kills so that their time is wasted.

3. Verbal abuse: Spamming a person with vulgar, hatefull, or offensive messages.

4. Blocking: Getting in anothers way so they cannot move or get out of a particular area.

5. "Training": Triggering many monsters, almost always impossible to fight and survive, with the intention to either run someone out of an area or kill them indirectly if the server is not 'player vs player' enabled.

Griefing in massively multiplayer online role playing games are usually bannable on first offense and less common (thoguh still visably present).

Griefing is much more common on private servers for first person shooters like Counterstrike and Battlefield 1942.

Griefers and Powergamers are the 2 worst problems in online games today.

Ultima Underworld

First person RPG that came out around the same time as Wolfenstein 3d but featured a 3d engine, and gameplay, light years more advanced and ahead of it's time.

Ultima Underworld was first and more advanced, but ID has tricked the masses intothinking they invented 3d gaming.
