Masterball Effect

The psychological dilemma that occurs when playing a video game and feeling the need to conserve powerful/unique items til the end of the game in fear of not being able to win without them and instead using worse items. This usually ends in disappointment as the powerful/unique items are then never used but the game is still won in a more difficult manner using the weaker and useless items.

I just played the new COD campaign and saved the RPG til the end but didn't even need it, must have been the masterball effect.

The Millburn Effect

The Millburn Effect is the sense of dread/anger/disbelief triggered by watching someone blithely make illogical and dangerous decisions that will have life-threatening consequences for themselves and others.

It is named after the biologist played by Rafe Spall in the Alien prequel science fiction film "Prometheus", who upon encountering a lethal-looking alien cobra, decides to pet it like a kitten.

It describes feelings of bewildered anger and anxiety resulting from watching people act with reckless stupidity and thus endangering themselves and others like the f**kheads they are.

"Why did Millburn try to pick up the space cobra?"
"Because he's a f*****g moron, lad."

"She's going to investigate the strange noise while alone in the house in her underwear. It's the Millburn Effect again."

Helsinki Effect

Similar to Stockholm Syndrome. You get a ride home from a friend but they want to stop for a drink first. Eventually, it turns into a binge instigated by you. You are a victim of the "Helsinki Effect "

Sorry honey, I asked Dave for a ride home after baseball but he forced me to go for a beer. Next thing I knew we were in Tiajua. It was the Helsinki Effect.
