Skyrim Effect

When a sequel gets so much hype and publicity the majority of newcomers to the series are casual fans who know nothing of the past games/movies in the series.

So when is Skyrim 2 coming out?

Skyrim is actually part five in the series excluding the additional games. Take it you never heard of Oblivion either. Classic example of the Skyrim Effect.

The Caterpillar Effect

The phenomenon experienced on the road when someone decides to slow down their car to look at something of interest on the side of the road. This causes that area of the road to slow down for the following hours. This leads to cars, collectively, mimicking a caterpillar walking.
The phenomenon is easily observed on highways.

MAN! Some jerk decided to stop and look at one of the millions of car crashes a day and it's making everyone feel the Caterpillar Effect for the next hour!

The fourloko effect

When you drink till you drop, but you don’t drop because you’re zooted off uppers, so you just drink and drink and drink, and possibly die, and drink, and then go missing for an hour, and drink,

“If you’re planning to blow through a whole bottle of Bacardi and an 8ball, invite more than 2 people so you don’t die from the fourloko effect
Adderal is not a party drug. Trust me, I got alcohol poisoning from the fourloko effect.”

The Boardwalk Effect

When you are at a party or gathering of some type and upon arrival you notice the girls aren't good looking. Then after a prolonged period of time at the party or gathering, your standards at that party fall and the least ugly chicks start looking good.

Can also be when you are at a gathering with not that many girls there and just because there's not that many chicks at the party, the ones there start looking good when normally they're not that great or grenades.

Came from a visit to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk where most of the girls there are fat and ghetto. After a few hours there your standards fall and they start looking good.

*at a party*
Bro 1 (11:00pm)- Man this party is kinda wack, the chicks here are not fine.
Bro 2 (11:00pm)- Yeah I feel you man, whatever its early i'm sure it will get better.

Bro 1 (12:30am)- Dude some of these chicks are starting to look good...
Bro 2 (12:30am)- Yeah I know, we need to get the hell out of here, its the Boardwalk Effect.
