hydra

(intransitive verb) In massively multi-player online gaming, playing a game with multiple characters and/or accounts at the same time.

There's a reason the U.S. and Asia have separate game servers; The Asian server absorbs all the ninja-looting, script-running, kiddie Asians who hydra and play the game 36 hours a day, leaving the U.S. servers much more fun for us to play on.

bling

To send an instant electronic message to, through such instant messaging services as AIM, Yahoo!, MSN, et al.

This usage of the word comes from the default "bling"-like noise in AIM, made when a message is received.

Robert's away message read, "I'm watchin TV in the next room right now. If you need me, bling me to get my attention."
