WARLOCKE Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 (edited) Ok why is it that nick names for ingame items always rotate around food? I know some are in small usage limited to certain groups of friends, but I have yet to see a nickname for something that doesnt have to do with food. Examples below. Potatoe.= catalyst. Banana = Reactor. Baguette Gun = Hind Blueberrys = Energy Orbs Cherries = Health Orbs. I am sure I am missing some. Anyone else know of any? But yea, why food.......all the time......we fat?

TerraNovaX Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 It is easier to relate certain objects to things we are familiar with. Like, calling something the 'Red Thing' because you don't remember the name, so you associate certain words to help you remember it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diazenyl Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I've only heard about 'Potatoe', if it's an Reactor, 'Yellow Potatoe' I just call them Reactor and Catalyst though :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oizen Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I always though the catalyst and reactor looked more like bicycle seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAWGUNITALPHA Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 People obsessed with online games also obsessed with food. More news at twelve. A strange topic I've found is that I've seen a surprisingly large portion of this community (who frequently seem to over-lap with the grandmaster portion) bragging about being on disability and using that to pay for their various plat purchases :V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letter13 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Potatoe.= catalyst. Banana = Reactor. Baguette Gun = Hind Blueberrys = Energy Orbs Cherries = Health Orbs. Where the hell are you getting those names from? Reactors aren't bananas. They're either Sweet Potatoes or Yukon Golds. God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VScipii26 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 The ironic thing is that all of those are healthy foods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
