wall rape

The act of scraping your vehicle against a wall, guardrail, or some other type of barrier, usually in a racing game. Often results in severe speed reduction as well as severe damage in games where vehicles can experience damage.

Those n00bs on Daytona USA always wall-rape the third corner of the Beginner track.

Tate

An option in vertical shooters released for consoles (i.e. Ikaruga, DoDonPachi) in which the screen is rotated 90 degrees, so as to cover the entire screen. To be used correctly, the TV most be rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.

This is the opposite of "yoko" mode, in which the gameplay screen is shrunk so that it fits a TV oriented normally. This results in two bars on the sides of the screen taking up the unoccupied areas. Yoko mode makes the screen very hard to see, and is generally not recommended for vertical shooters.

I played DoDonPachi in Tate mode and it is great. I can see everything clearly.

One More Lovely

A song on Beatmania IIDX.

Genre: HAPPY
Artist: Risk Junk
BPM: 200

(song level: difficulty / note count)
Light 7: 5 / 439
7 keys: 8 / 832
Another 7: N/A / 1452

The A7 noteset is one of the hardest in the game, and involves pressing keys at speeds upwards of 800 times per minute.

There is a running inside joke on the BEMANI & Rhythm Action board on GameFAQs regarding this song. Periodically, when someone makes a post that the poster "gs68" doesn't like, gs68 will "go One More Lovely (a)" on that poster. When he used this for the first time on the user xtremeskata32, another person described him as "tapping xtremeskata32 at 800 bpm."

<Person A> Did you hear? LISU beat One More Lovely (Another 7) with one hand on the keys!
<Person B> What?!
<Person A> And he cleared it on Hard mode and with a grade of A.
<Person B> *suffers heart attack and dies from hearing the details*

Or...

<Random Person> You're gay.
<gs68> *goes One More Lovely (a) on Random Person*
<Random Person> Ouch! I was kidding!
