The concept of purchasing media and having it delivered over the internet. No physical representation of this content is given, and although the content resides on the user's hard drive they are typically granted a license to the product, rather than ownership of it.
Game titles that pose a rhetorical question to the player. Occasionally, these titles are accompanied with an exclamation point to form an interrobang.
Games that allow the player to choose which level to play next, rather than a fixed linear order.

The act of sliding down an elevated geological formation, often on your buttocks.
Valve's counterpart to Microsoft's popular achievement system.
Games that have been accepted by Valve through Steam's Greenlight service.
