Videosyncrasies

artr

Created by: artr

Sentence: Most people have a particular way of playing their video games. For most it is subtle, maybe a tilt of the head or grunt that accompanies a certain action.

The local video cafe once called 911 thinking he was having a seisure.

Etymology: video [game] (a game played by electronically manipulating images produced by a computer program on a television screen or other display screen) + idiosyncrasy (a mode of behavior or way of thought peculiar to an individual)
