SHOOTAN GAEM
a pejorative term used to refer to video games deemed, by the user, as generic exercises in mindless action/shooting. typically referring to a game of the fps genre.
the capitalization and intentional misspelling of “game” attempt to mimic the crude online vernacular of the “typical” shootan gaemer, -ssumed to be teenagers and those lacking in cognitive ability.
the phrase can also be altered and applied to other game genres, usually referencing the most most base, repet-tive aspect of a genre’s gameplay. a common example is “grindan gaem”, applied to rpgs and mmos, mocking the repet-tive combat and level building, or “grinding”, necessary for in-game advancement.
originated on 4chan’s /v/ (video game) image board.
“why would i want an xbox 360? all they release for that system are generic shootan gaems!”
