Caffine-free basketcase, no wickers!
"Brett wuts a nerf?/!"
A 'nerf' could be one of several things, most commonly a reference to foam dart artillery, or Nerf Guns. Some use the term for the dart blasters, while some use it for the projectiles themselves. Heck, people also make in verb form, specifically "hitting another with a foam dart, usually during competitive 'wars'."
EXAMPLE
(Billy and Joey are in the midst of an intensely sweating Nerf War; Billy has fired his blaster and hits Joey with a dart)
Billy: Got you!
Joey: No you didn't!
Bill: Uh huh! I nerfed you in the back!
Joey: Nuh uh! Your nerf missed!
Bill: Look, my nerf's pretty accurate and the shot is stuck on your forhead.
(Joey looks up and is subsequently denuciated)
So, for tomorrow's session, I want you all to draw a picture of your favorite silverwear and portray it as a vehicle or something. Now get to bed!
"no brett i meaned the vidoe game form!"
Oh, that's even simpler: a nerf is a restraint on a pre-existing factor (character, race, ability, sexual organ) that serves as a check to its extreme and sometimes unfair power/ease/pleasure. This always enrages a section of the gaming universe, primarily/always users of the aforementioned factor, although it is sometimes necessary for a balanced gameplay experience.
**NOTE**
Nerf, as a video-game term, is derived from the toy brand. A Nerf ball is made of foam which makes the toy less dangerous and less effective in dodgeball than its rubber counterpart. A nerfed character has also been altered to be less dangerous and less effective in dodgeball, thus the term 'nerfed'.
EXAMPLE
Kirby (the Pink Puffball of Pathetic Portions) is a playable character in both Super Smash Bros for the Nintendo 64 and its sequel, Super Smash Brothers Melee for the Nintendo Lame/Gamecube (whichever you perfer). In the 64 version of the unique fighter, Kirby is difficult to beat:
Advantages
-Quick moves with good knockback
-Powerful throws that can damage several opponents
-The best 'Buttbomb/Anvil' attack in the game
-Multiple Jumps (Kirby can float 5 times in the air)
Disadvantages
-Lightweight, althought his 5 jumps often cover that
-Short Reach
Hal (the developers of Smash Bros.) too notice to this, and nerfed Kirby in SSBM:
Advantages
-Multiple Jumps
-He's not that slow I guess
Disadvantages
Almost everything else.
While it's still very possible to win with Kirby, it's not an easy task. Only the 1337est of the 1337 can find consistent success while using the PPPP against a skilled advesary.
This is an perfect example of over-nerfing, but that can wait for a later date with a some bate, a'ite?
