This is a thread I have started on my own guild’s forums, but also wish to share with the entire GW2 community. It’s a variation on a Rich Hall skit from Not Necessarily the News , which ran during the Eighties.
The premise is simple enough; there are many things both in game and in the gaming community which are..well, undefinable. We attempt, with imagination and not a little humor, to define them. Here are what my guildies and I have come up with thus far:
Bookah Breakdown:The dance performed by human characters trying to scale Asuran buildings in an attempt to reach vistas.
Cattlepulter: That random guy you can always find in Diessa Plateau trying to reach Moorwatch Tower using the Cattlepult. Also applies to all of those that waste their money placing bets on how far a cow will make it when Mad Mardine decides to have some fun firing cows using said device.
Corpseturds: The toxic…um, stuff…that drops from Tequatal’s wings.
Crystal Methed: When you are crystallized by Subject Alpha in Crucible of Eternity, and remain in stasis even after the crystal surrounding you has been destroyed.
Ehmargerd! Alpha’s lost his script!: When you manage to glitch the Crucible of Eternity so hard that you get Test Subject Alpha so confused that he just doesn’t know in which way he should fight you each time you face him.
Gimmemanium: The free-for-all that erupts in map chat whenever ArenaNet broadcasts the message that “A new build is available, your game will restart in three minutes.” It happens around world chest events, precipitated by players who fear the game will boot them before they can reap the rewards of the event (OMG HURRY UP!!!).
Glinker: The faint but unmistakable sound of aggro dropping, like a marble in an empty jar.
Jumpin’ Jack Noob: The one player at every major world event (such as the Shadow Behemoth or one of the dragons) who simply cannot be still. They leap about, cast skills randomly, murder innocent ambient wildlife along with any nearby mobs, and fire cannons at nothing.
Ledge Potato: The stereotypical extremely lazy player that is always online yet always standing in front of the bank in Lion’s Arch doing nothing but PvC (player vs chat), randomly dancing, trolling, spamming emotes, looking sexy or actually quietly AFK. They usually think they have a lot of friends.
Luke Ledgewatcher: The NPC at the Claw of Jormag event who is continually admonishing players to “watch the ledges”.
PoO-Ba-DOo-Er: That little lazy son of a guild that you can always find every time you run a bounty for your guild, offering to go track Poobadoo the Quaggan Boss, just because he’s feeling lazy, or to annoy other people, everyone has done it at least once! note: Can only be redeemed by becoming the Trickssy-Trekkser at least twice for the guild!
*Premature Explosion: A rather embarrassing mishap experienced by the Shatterer, when he springs into the air at the end of his fight and explodes rather than flying a short distant away, then exploding.
Quid Pro Fro: An Asura sporting the “afro” hairstyle.
Rawrette’s Syndrome: A speech impediment suffered by the Charr. It causes all of them, even the loveable Tybalt Leftpaw, to snarl when speaking.
Spin ’n Smoke: The rotating smokestacks atop Charr buildings.
Weebird: The bird that flies overhead whenever one levels or recieves mail.
My guildies Beleeth and TheMagicTouch contributed a couple of those.
By all means, however, feel free to jump in with any of your own! I will be watching this post and editing to post new entries and credit their contributors.
Have fun!
