genuine Gamer Words megathread

tawal: Feb 7, 2012

I keep seeing the phrase 'Gamer Words' all over the forums recently and I'm not entirely sure what that means or its relevance to the topics at hand, but I thought it might be kind of cool to hear everybody's favorites

level up: if I were to draft Gamer Words, this one would be first overall for sure. iconic. including lvl up, lv. up, etc.

area of effect: really versatile term and can apply to a lot of various types of splash damage. (point blank (pictured), conal, ground target, etc) my overall favorite way to do damage in video games that include it. really effective way to pump up your DPS (damage per second)

ganking: love being a sneaky little poo poo and using the element of surprise to kill my enemies

hadouken: I'm kind of a fighting game novice, but this special move is hard to top. hadouken!

Cooldowns are cool.

as a gamer you must always be aware of them, but sometimes you also need to cool down yourself after a heated match

I really like Dot for damage over time as well as �down pogos� for playforming games where you attack down to bounce over obstacles

Thanks Pablo and Sub-Actuality for the great sigs!

i always refer to playing online multiplayer games as 'grabbing a few snaps' which is something that my friends and i used to say about playing Madden 2002 against each other that carried over trhough the years to non-football games
