Pronunciation: marr-ee-oo-pee-a

Sentence: Clyde suffered from Mariopia and it ruined his life. It started out with a simple Gameboy--black and white screen, bad graphics. Yet he was compelled to conquer it, and was willing to let his life fall into shambles around him. Today, Clyde is so destitute that he has taken to hanging around Best Buy looking for some kid who he can convince to "test drive" Mario Kart on the store's demo Wiis. The scene usually ends with the kid crying, Clyde taunting and security escorting him off the premises.

Etymology: Mario, the ubiquitous gaming brothers, combined with suffix "opia" which means affecting vision.

Pronunciation: win ten do nye tis

Sentence: Buster played his video games morning, noon and night to the consternation of his parents. He was so intent on winning each game, he was oblvious to the need to rest, eat and hydrate himself. He could barely move his hand or arm anymore, as he was developing wintendonitis. There was always a pong coming from his room, his nickname was Gameboy and he thought Mario and Luigi were his real brothers. His parents could not wait for September, when Buster would go to school and apply his energy elsewhere. It would be hard for him to hold a pencil or crayon, unless they could surgically remove his hand controls. Grade One was going to be a tough year for Buster!

Etymology: Win (be the winner in a contest or competition; be victorious) & Nintendo (Video game system made by the Japanese Nintendo Co.) & Tendonitis (inflammation of a tendon due to over-use, such as in thumb, elbow, shoulder,etc)

Pronunciation: vidēəsingkrəsēz

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. For Andrew, it’s much more than that. His collection of videocyncrasies makes it almost impossible for anybody to play with him in person. 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)
