What's a good, profanity-free alternative to the word "mindfuck"?
I'm sure there has to be one somewhere that I have just tragically forgotten. Or is this slang term actually filling an important void in the English language? One similar phrase I've seen is "head trip," but sources conflict as to just what that really means.

I don't usually worry about cursing, but I was shocked to realise that I don't know of any synonyms for it.

Mindscrew!

Mindbang!

Mindshag!

I'd honestly go with "mindspin", both because it's an accurate description of the feeling and X-Com used it for that exact replacement.

I did consider "brainbang" for the added alliteration.

Mindspin is actually pretty decent, though... it'd be nice if it was a more broadly-used term.

Alternatively, the newer XCOM uses the word Mindfray.

[Shadowlord]

Mindfrell.

This is super obscure, but there was once a CD-ROM packaged with cereal to promote Return of the King. It had a trailer, small clips from the film, character bios, and a demo of the tie-in game. Is there any place with even a small chance of having a download link?

I want the animations from Nidhogg. How can I get my hands on the image files?

@Baffler: Currently here, Lydia, Cynthia, David, Kobus, Linda, Merle, off the top of my head. Some of the next generation's might include Matthew, Crystal, Stephanie, Samantha, and in certain communities Joshua.

Loads of 'old' names aren't exactly old, just not new. However, things like Betty and Doris are old. Another is Gaye, a girl name which went out of vogue for obvious reasons.

Is cooking in alluminium harmful? 

[GiglameshDespair]

Only if you eat the aluminum afterwords.

Why was "Schtroumpfs" translated into "Smurfs"? It does sound roughly similar, but the name just doesn't feel the same if it's not written in an overly long way.

Okay, this is probably a stupid question, but here it is. I want to make "What's the worst game(s) you have ever played" type of thread, but it's only about sequels. The problem is, I'm afraid that the thread will generate too much "heat", and it will be locked by Toady, just like "Things that made you rage" thread. Shall I risk or abandon the idea? Something tells me that I should. After all, there were threads about personal "Worst game(s) ever" in the past.

I think it should be fine, but just be very strong that there shouldn't be conflict in the OP.
