Vidya etymology

[Tintenfisch]

What are some words, names and phrases you've invented whilst playing the vidya. Be them game specific or whatnot.


General:

When playing on-line or whatnot I like to say "there's a bunch of dudes, dudeing it up" Which basically means there are enemies present.

I call the sniper rifle the Wesley Snipes

When I get a head shot I often say "got milk?" to drive the point home.

Specific:

Gears of war

The boom shot I call The boom botters.

This is all I can think of right now.


Now you share, Pavilion.

I can't follow MMORPGs simply because everyone comes up with these acronyms and weird names for everything. I can't even decipher a simple conversation between WoW players. It's like written in another language or something.

Re: Vidya etymology

Why write Vidya? They both have 5 letters so wouldnt it be easier(and more appropriate and mature) to just type the correct spelling?

Re: Vidya etymology

Vidya is funnier.

You're just upset I got more goblies in a shorter amount of time

@JPS

Because it's funnier, leave the funny to the pros.


If you guys feel woozy I can understand. You both just got big timed.

Re: Vidya etymology

What the hell is vidya? I'm actually confused.

Is it video games?

If so, why write the "shorter" version? It just makes you look like an idiot.

I agree the vidya in the title just got me angry because it makes you sound stupid.

Re: Vidya etymology

I am neutral on you writing vidya.

Re: Vidya etymology

Yeah, I could care less too. A head shot in Call of Duty 4 is sometimes referred to as a PATANG! seeing as that's the sweet satisfying noise you hear when you get one. Frag is of course sometimes a kill in certain games. But uh, that's about all.

Vidya is the southern phonetic pronunciation and is written (normally as Vidya Gaems or Vidiya Gayms) for comedic effect.

it's just a slang term guys jeez
