Acronym Reviews

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3.
WTF!

The computer and gaming worlds are replete with acronyms; FPS, MP, RPG etc. Regular readers will know I enjoy trying to take common social aspects and twist them into gaming ideas. I was inspired by a BBC Online report called Doctor slang is a dying art.

They will also probably be aware of my Five Word Review idea that I try to use in all my new reviews. So here is the idea, let’s create some acronyms for map and mod reviews that I can create extra images for so users can simply add a recommendation image AND an acronym image.

now, like many ideas this seems to me to be fun but in reality it may just fade like a shooting star. One last thing, perhaps it will be more fun to create some portmanteaux.

It is at this point I should list some of my own but to be honest I am completely blank. It’s probably a combination of my age, lack of word-association skill and tiredness. So, it’s all down to you dear reader.

    BDBD: Beautifully Designed But Dull
    (This is said like the little robot in Buck Rogers in the 25th Century – “bidie bidie, ok Buck!”

    (This is said like a word “Pospop”)

    An excellent one Gilfrarry!

  7. Berrie Says:

    HUMBUG: Hugely Unimaginative Mod/Map, But Undeniably Good
    For the mod/map that’s in the least not original, but is executed good.

  8. planetphillip Says:

    HUMBUG:

    Another Excellent one.

    PRO: Poorly Realized Offering
