I'm kind of surprised there isn't a thread up here for this...
Anyway, if you have a nickname for a character, tactic, ability, or even an item, put it here, with the real name of the character/tactic/ability/item to the left, and the game it comes from to the right, like so:
Orokin Cell/Reactor/Catalyst - Potato (Warframe)
Oberon's Reckoning - Rekt-ening/Power Dunk (Warframe)
Oberon's Renewal - HEAL! (Warframe)
Corrupted Ancients/Ancient Healers - Mom (Warframe)
Lotus - Mom (Warframe)
Prime - Premium (Warframe)
Satori Komeji - Psycho Mantis (Touhou)
-
Unit of length / weight / currency - Urist (Dwarf Fortress) ;)

Stupid mutant: Bethesda supermutant
Evilsaurus: whatever ARK predator is ruining my day today
Sillysaurus: Lystrosaurus (ARK again)
sweetie/kiddo: requisite underage team member in almost every JRPG (used interchangeably and without regard to sex/gender)
Rapeverlord: Chrysallid, Tentaculat, Reaper (Xenonauts), whatever else gets to be this stupidly OP and gets to actively fuck the player over.
Tank God Motherfucker: me, whenever the game is stupid enough to give me a tank
Super-god-gun: the Mavor experimental artillery structure in Supreme Commander
Enclave punk: self explanatory
Walking corpse: 'thesda raiders

Edit: Whoops, backwards.

I'm not sure where I picked that up - probably someone on YouTube - and I'm sure it confuses some of the people I use it around.

Sweaty mode = Overtime in Rocket League
That's really all I can think of at the moment...
-
When i name a character in a game, the majority of the time it's Theron.
The reference is probably due to how insanely much i played Dungeon Master on my 520st back in the days, Theron was the disciple of the Grey Lord and was the one selecting the characters you would put in your party to get your master back after he was split in 2 persona (order and chaos), basically Theron was you the player.
Not sure why "Theron" stayed so much time in my memory.
-
There's a mission in EVE Online called "The Right Hand of Zazzmatazz", which I think of as "Zazzy".

-
I usually name my characters after colours. Assuming I don't just mash some random name generator until I get something that makes a little bit of sense. I once named a tabletop character "Black". My party was a bit pissed at me for it. They still joke about it.
I call Crewmen in Warframe "Cavemen".
I refer to Nuyen in Shadowrun as "Nuggets".
-
When playing Crusader Kings 2, I refer to fights that I can easily win as "rubs" and fights that I'm likely to lose as "spics", not as a racist term (I'm not fighting Aztecs, or it would be ) but that's what I imagine all my men being killed with spears sounds like, the wet, heavy 'spic spic' of Mercian soldiers taking my formerly-wessexian foothold on England. If it makes a sound, I'm probably going to refer to it by an onomatopoeia.
-
Minecraft:
Wiggly squiggly: baby zombie pigman.
Sp00k: Skeletal anything.
Hep: Stolen from MineGrump. Asking for help with something that can't be helped, or long after the help would have been useful.

Touhou:
Dicknut: Whenever I die extremely early because I was chasing a power-up, going for grazes, not paying attention, or anything else.
Dark Lady of Evil: Rumia, the rather generic (in my opinion) first boss of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.
BMarisa the Hedgehog: Marisa Kirisame, a main Touhou character that moves very fast. Black streak speeds by, Marisa the Hedgehog, she's the fastest thing alive!
-
Back when I was little I oftentimes didn't have the manual (or the internet) so I often came up with names for things in games because I didn't know how to refer to them otherwise. Some of them were pretty obvious, like koopas = turtles and metroids = jellyfish. Others were more of a stretch, like chuchus = frogs. Also, one design feature that I can only remember showing up in a few games (such as Spyro) of hiding vaults with huge amounts of pots full of goodies to smash in the same way that Metroid hides upgrades -- we called those "treasure lands."
Nowadays I know the names for things so I don't come up with my own names for shit nearly as much as I used to, and when I do, I get a little more creative. A little.
More often it's for characters than anything else. Sometimes I name characters as if they were Mega Man bosses: I'm playing Dangan Ronpa right now, and Byakuya's new name is "Snootyman", Mondo's is "Gangsterman", and Taka's is "Stickuphisbuttman". Chihiro's is "bae". Yes, I know the BIG TOP SECRET SPOILER about her -- it was spoiled to me before I started playing the game.
I've picked up some colloquialisms from various LP'ers and bloggers, too:
Zombies = Zambos
HP = blood (I used this one a little as a kid, too)
1UP/extra life = free guy
"Piece of cake son" = verb, to run straight off a ledge due to a mistimed jump (as in a platform game). Derived from this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKVhEDC9vMw).
Not video-game related, but game related: I call miples (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/eb/Carcassonne_Miples.jpg) "nipples".
Also, I tend to spell the word "roguelike" as "rougeliek" when it's referring to post-Spelunky indie neo-roguelikes. I am a recovering classical roguelike elitist.
-
Fat dude/guy/(nothing) - tanky and relatively large enemy
Oh! That's right.
Meathead = total physical class or build, no magic.
Nerd = total magical class or build, no physical.
Blaster caster = magical class or build totally focused on dealing direct damage, as opposed to debuff, support, recovery, or utility spells.
E.g."DCSS keeps removing more and more things let you play non-blaster-caster nerds."
-
Dildongo, dingdonger, dingywingy, dildanger, etc.: Any weapon that could be construed as vaguely phallic.
-
A lot of my group of friend's terminology in League of Legends and other games has been corrupted by a certain individual in our group.
Battlefield 4:
Attack helicopters - Heliclarkers
Little Bird - Little Beard
Grenade out - MAWP (from Archer, also applies to other games with friendly fire when it comes to explosives) or "cover your earballs"
League:
Dragon - Larry
Baron - Barry
Rift Guardian - Jerry
Teemo - Tryndmo or Triggered (if in the super gritty skin)
Heimerdinger - Heimerdongler
Sins of a Solar Empire:
An ominous force... (in relation to the Advent quote for a superweapon being fired) - An ominous horse disrupts the balance of the galaxy...
"Powering phase engines!" (Advent titan moving between gravity wells, shouted hammily) - Powering phase orgasms!
Reportin' for duty - Reportin' for booty
Grand Theft Auto : Stealy Wheely Automobiley
Actually there's a bit too much to list here... I could write a book.
-
Well, there are probably a lot that I've forgotten over the years, but here are a couple more-recent ones off the top of my head.
Some are purely mine, others are shared with friends who I share/discuss games with.
Hunter sidekicks - Humpers/cunters (Uncharted 4 Multiplayer)
Companions - Walking storage (Fallout 4)
NPC with a forgettable name who isn't too bad, really - Dudeface (Any game)
NPC with a forgettable name who is annoying - That dumbass (Any game)
Expendable allies or enemies that do stupid things, often due to poor AI - Derps (Most games)
Vaguely-defined, quick-healing items such as estus flasks or ripoffs thereof - Balm/the balm (Many games)
Buff/booster potions - DRRRUGSSSS (Most games)
FAL assault rifle - The fail (Any game with a FAL)
Snipers - Cunts (Any game)
Teammates - Cunts (Any game)
Enemies - Cunts (Any game)
Enemies who somehow kill you via bullshit means right when you were kicking/about to kick their ass - FUCKING CUUUUNTS (Too many games :-\)
I'll have to try and remember more. Haven't been playing too many games to nickname things in lately, I guess.
Good topic!
-
Nignog tryna get a handbeezy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm3TjRxntQk): Battlecry while trying something stupid, flashy, risky and probably unnecessary. Alternatively, to be uttered sarcastically after an enemy player makes an obvious mistake.
I swear it's not a racist thing, unless the kid in the video is racist somehow.
-

-
I've thought up a few new nicknames.

Crit - Critical Hit (Originally from Team Fortress 2, but has migrated to other video games as well.)
-
Squiggoths - antlions in Half-life 2. Mainly because when I was young I thought they were making noises that sounded like "squiggoth"
-
Any variation of my own username, and the there's "Uriel Ultim" for the more noble-esque type of character (knights, paladins, etc.).
Or the good old "Cor Umbar" for a barbarian-ish build.
Names for any other type of character.. well.. That is something which takes forever to come up with. Usually taking inspiration from various myth and legends though.
-
Explode and reload - Firing all of your ammo at once in a blaze of glory, then quickly retreating like a coward. Comes from this song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO0m07CEXk4) which I listened to a lot while playing various action games.
Wildy - any area where PVP is allowed, from Runescape.
Buying gf 1 mil - implying that somebody has played a game far, far too much. An old Runescape meme.

-
General:

Larry, Curly, and Moe - If they are incompetent AIs or dumb players.
Chryssalid/Lobstermen - Delicious Game (needs butter)

BFGs of any kind - Gamebreaker

To make things more difficult - ‼Fun Mode‼
To mess around - Classic Debug Mode

Squiggoths - antlions in Half-life 2. Mainly because when I was young I thought they were making noises that sounded like "squiggoth"
Squiggoths are things from WH40K I think?

Yeah. Ork Squigg that grows to behemoth proportions.

Don't forget to say which nicknames come from which games.
-
Captain Genius - Particularly suicidal or idiotic enemies. Comes from my hours upon hours of playing GBA Fire Emblem games, when I would make enemy phases less monotonous by coming up with creative nicknames for particular enemy units. "Captain Genius" was anyone who attacked a unit such that they wouldn't deal damage but would be damaged themselves, and particularly if they were killed on the counterattack.
Wizards - Anything particularly squidlike. From Final Fantasy I, where an early-game dungeon that I got stuck on when I was ten or so has two to four "WIZARDS" (actually mind flayers from D&D) guarding the MacGuffin at the bottom. Sometimes I use "sorcerers" instead, after the palette swaps from later in the game with 1-hit-kill regular attacks.
Not really a nickname, but whenever I'm fighting zombies in any game I like to recite lines from Half-Life: Full-Life Consequences, regardless of whether or not they are headcrab zombie (and John Freeman shot the headcrab zombie oficer in the head and drove off thinking "my brother is in trouble there" and went faster.)
-
Devilboob, booby clicker, weaboob, etc.: At first just Devilian, but now it's any free-to-play anime game with gratuitous fanservice. When I asked a friend what they were playing, they introduced Devilian as "a devilboob game".
-
Someone told me I should post a fun story here. I'm blaming them for the necro.
So in the original Left 4 Dead, the AI would create large rushes of zombies on a timer. It would choose where they came from based largely on line of sight, ergo "If a player cannot see this spot, it can potentially spawn things".
I once had a horde of about 30-40 zombies come flying at a full sprint out of a small office cubicle that contained only a desk and an empty coffeepot. The prevailing theory is that they were all jammed into the coffeepot. Hence "coffeepotting" has become a term for "unexplainable spawn phenomena".

I like this one, a lot. It's a perfect example of how clever code can lead to unexpected phenomena that end up being coined as normal things by the player. I might just pick this one up and use it with my friends.
-
PTW
Also, I'm totally going to use "Coffeepotting".
-
A mundane name, but a name nonetheless.
Shielder: Anyone who uses a shield.
-
Horsey McHorserson: any mount I'm currently riding. Variants include Jr./Son of.../I/II/III/IV/etc.
-
Monster Hunter
Yian Garuga = B*TCH
Deviljho = Jhoseph/fuck this shit i'm out
Redhelm Arzuros = Dab Bear
Touhou
Pure Sign ~ Pure Bullet Hell (aka Junko's last spellcard) = 20 minutes of screaming
-
Assholes = Literally every enemy ever
-
This one isn't a video game but is appropriate.
So my wife had just given birth to our son like 6 hours ago, and was hopped up on all kinds of happy-delirium-inducing pain drugs (it was a bit of a rough birth for her). We decided to watch TV, and she saw that THE GRUDGE (https://horrorhothousereview.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/the-grudge-_2004_.jpg) was on. If some of you youngsters don't know what that is, you should Youtube it so you can appreciate the truly unnerving sound that this ghost girl makes.
...
Anyway, the ghost pops out of nowhere and aa-a-a-a-a-a-aaaaa's at someone, I do a little jump, and she immediately goes into tears and starts bawling out peals of laughter. It wasn't at me mind you, it was at the ghost. See she in her stupor thought the sound it made was hilarious, and in between her laughing bouts named the thing "Burp Ghost". She spent the next hour or so laughing hysterically at The Grudge. Now one of the best scary movies is ruined (improved?) and is called Burp Ghost forever more in our home.
-
Congratulations, Dunamisdeos! :)
Is the baby perfectly healthy?
-
Well he's a year and a half old now, so yeah he did ok :3
Sorry I phrased the story wrongly!
-
Dickslapping: doing an incredible amount of damage or scoring a large amount of points in a short amount of time.
Everything else i come up with is on the fly and usually a reworded meme.
Example: i do not aim with aim assist, he who aims with aim assist has forgotten the face of his father.
-
UFO/TFTD
Blaster Launcher = Hull Cracker/Portable Door
Mind controlled enemy = Bullet Detector
Cruise Ship = Cabin Clusterfuck
Landed mothership = Elerium Delivery
-
"Peanut Butter Door"
Those doors in Link to the Past that only stay open while a switch is depressed.
Why?
As a kid I thought the sound of stepping on and off the switch sounded like Peanut butter door. Also, they're sticky, I guess. The term stuck in my head for any door that requires a button to be weighed down to open it.
Also, Sami "The Butcher" from Advance Wars.
As much as she's one of the good guys, her tactics boil down to clogging the treads of her enemies tanks with the bones and meat that was once her infantry. She'd be a war criminal irl. Hence the nickname!

Attack him after he floaty floaties. My description of the Reaper's Phase Shift thing attack move in Overwatch.

We were playing Age of Conan at launch, which was terrifying in and of itself but that's not the story.
Me and a bud were trying to find two party members to do a thing with, and the game featured instances, AKA I could be in instance 1 of the city, and you could be in instance 2, and then we both have to be in the same instance to play together.
We found 2 sublimely stupid people who could not understand this concept. It took maybe 10 minutes to get them to switch instances, whereupon they went to the wrong one and blamed us. Then we went to their instance, only to find they had moved to a different, unrelated one. There was a large gold star next to the one you had to click to get to your friends. Rinse and repeat.
After maybe 20 minutes one of them screamed WE ARE NOT IN INSTANCE. WE ARE IN CITY. And then we knew we were finished there. Now every time confusion causes a problem the famed "Instance City" is invoked. "NO YOU WERE NOT USING THE RIGHT SKILL. YOU WERE IN CITY". We often name our guild "Lords of Instance City".
