Had me scratching my head & then laughing at people when I was beta testing a certain MMOG that's still NRFPT. "Toon"? Well PC, character, etc... weren't cool enough sounding. "Mob" since AI or NPC is too much to remeber! "Agro" because an enemy's awareness level & resulting actions towards a PC needed a more confusing name. There's more I'm sure but those are the few I remember. =) Video card wise I highly doubt an MMOG engine is that taxing on a video card and would be looking at reverting from customized settings and removing 3rd party code as has been said.
