Library Word of the Week - Video Game Edition

The HSC Game Club is having a Students VS Teachers game tournament on Monday after school, therefore, our words today come from video games

Cheats: Special codes that allow you bypass the normal limitations of a game. Typical cheats allow you to gain extra lives, become invincible, access different stages, give players big heads, etc. Some cheats are built into games, while others can only be accessed using devices like the Game Shark.

"Glory Seeking": Taking a particularly dangerous course of action for the opportunity to score bonus points. For example, pursuing the vegetables in Dig Dug.

Pwned (slang): Owned, beaten, defeated. Originated from a typo of "owned".

"Tempting Fate": A generally unwise decision involving toying with an enemy in order to gain the opportunity to score bonus items or points. This is often seen in Pac-Man games.
