What are Your Nicknames for Characters and Things in Video Games?
« on: June 22, 2016, 08:17:30 am »
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)

Super-god-gun: the Mavor experimental artillery structure in Supreme Commander
Enclave punk: self explanatory

Any enemy intended to be big and intimidating: Big Stompy Guy

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.

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".

In various games, I've taken to calling paladins "pallies" (or "pally" for singular).

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.
