The Giant Bombcast is paired very well with a hot cup of coffee and an old fashioned donut.

Character »
A common character class / archetype in role-playing games and fantasy. They are often less chivalric than your average Knight-errant, generally being depicted as either archetypal villains (such as a Dark Lord), or troubled and ruthless anti-heroes.
When the player's death is addressed and integrated in-game as a part of the player's continuing story. This often involves reincarnation of sorts, or the player continues by moving on to a different character.
Contextualized Player Death is when a game includes the player's death in its fiction instead of just treating it as a thing that didn't happen. Mario, for example, doesn't canonically die when the player jumps in a pit, but Destiny's Guardians die and are resurrected constantly, as a core aspect of their identity.
The act of dressing in clothing generally associated with the opposite sex, often employed in video games for comic effect or for sexual excitement.
Either specialized dragon killers or a honorary title bestowed upon those who have managed to slay a dragon.
When the player, compared to the adversary he/she is supposed to defeat, looks like a tiny inchworm.
When a character's basic physical characteristics, such as face structure, skin tone, or gender, can be changed by the player, after the character has already been established in the story.
A lead character who never says a word, despite being spoken to.
A Fencer; a person who fights with a sword. Swordsmen are common in medieval strategy games.
When large distances need to be covered and airplanes aren't thematically appropriate, characters let a bird carry them to their destination.
