dsimms's definitions
a technique used in movies and videogames (especially fps, first-person-shooters) to make the game or movie seem much scarier than it is -- this effect is achieved by making the scene way darker than it needs to be, thus cloaking the presence and movement of monsters who are lurking in the background
sometimes bright, randomly flashing or sparking lights are added to sections of the scene to further heighten the tension
the use of nightmarevision in videogames began with Quake and continues on today... the recent movie Cloverfield used lots of nightmarevision which made certain scenes eerier and scarier, but also helped the director/editor hide the cuts and transitions in the supposedly single-shot pseudo-handheld video sequences... further scariness was achieved by switching from total darkness to nightvision in one scene, allowing the actors to see a little bit in the total dark, thus making nightvision a special form of nightmarevision
a similar concept to nightmarevision is spookyvision, first used on the tv show South Park for one of their Halloween specials... spookyvision uses the visage of Barbra Streisand, rather than darkness, to enhance the scariness of scenes

"Do you like that new fps you just got?"
"No. I couldn't set the gamma up high enough to see shit. Those asshole game writers kept the whole first level in nightmarevision, even when I got to the Boss. And it wasn't all that scary, the nightmarevision just made it hard to see or do anything. I'm like what the fuck? I think I just kissed off forty fuckin bucks."

Get the WBF mug.The term "porn princess" is a polite diminutive retrograde form of the more widespread term "porn queen". It does not imply her behavior is any less lewd or immoral or kinky.

CASE tools come in many varieties and levels of technology. One of the first was a program that let you remotely control a vibrator (attached to a control box) across the internet. You could actually control the speed of the vibrator by moving your mouse around inside a box drawn on the screen. Usually the male had the program and the female had the control box and vibrator. For some reason this equipment and software are no longer available. They were sold by one of the dating/matchmaking websites.
Since then, many other CASE tools have been created.

Some consider instant messaging and chatrooms to be good examples of CASE tools, since most cybersex occurs there.
