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."

Yuck. I was looking for my fishing gear in our garage when I found my dad's hidden stash.
Your dad smokes dope?
No man, worse. It was his porn mags. Gross.

Get the porn magmug. a polite term for a sexbot
1. a sexbot that someone has fallen in love with
2. a sexbot specifically designed for humans to fall in love with
3. a fuckbot you make love to
4. how you describe your new Robovenus to the rest of the family
5. the trademark of a limited edition bot made in 2012 which was programmed more for companionship and conversation than sex; discontinued the following year
not to be confused with the Love Boat, a quasi-amusing TV show back in the pre-net days which starred actors and actresses sliding down to C-list status (but before they hit Hollywood Squares bottom)

"The next sexbot I buy, I hope I can afford one of those hot new foreign bots... maybe that sleek BMW lovebot with the level-5 AI, or maybe one of those new Mercedes models they're making in France."
"What about a Saab lovebot? I hear those Swedish models are hot! And they cry real tears!"
"Oh yeah! I just don't wanna buy another American-made model, like GE or Whirlpool... they fuck ok, but they're so blah otherwise."
"What about that new Japanese/Korean lovebot, the LG-12?"
"Hey man, I'm no perv!"

Get the lovebotmug. A porn queen usually refers to a woman who has appeared in pornographic media, such as movies (porn flicks), magazines (porn mags), or online porn sites (webporn).
Many porn queens cross over between the different forms of media, first becoming a skin mag model, then later a porn actress; sometimes this process is reversed. Some porn queens even start their own websites. Porn queens also go on road tours, starring or headlining at strip clubs in major cities.
Being a porn queen usually implies the actress/model has made a "name" for herself. Often a porn actress will choose a fake name with a humorous and/or double entendre meaning so as to make it memorable (for example, Bunny Blue).

"...Jenna Jameson wants the world to officially remember her for her iconic porn princess name. Earlier this week the knocked-up starlet filed legal papers to become 'Jenna Jameson' and permanently move on from her birth name, Jenna Marie Massoli."

(calling porn queen extraordinaire Jenna Jameson a 'princess' is like calling good Queen Liz a princess - a polite diminutive retrograde)

Get the porn queenmug. West Bubblefuck, or WBF, is the upscale American version of BFE, or Bumfuck Egypt.
You would expect to find the Snobbleys and Bickersons residing in West Bubblefuck, whereas you'd expect the inhabitants of BFE to be mostly TPT and cornpone.
In either case, the location refers to some place "way out to hell and gone".

"My cousin's family, quite pedigreed you know, want to move from their comfy townhouse in the suburbs out to that new development in south county. They're looking at buying some kind of barn-converted-loft, for God sakes, with acreage. That's like moving from West Bubblefuck out to Bumfuck Egypt if you ask me. So retrograde. Why don't they move into the city, where there's some culture?"
