* FanNickname: VideoGame/{{Sacrifice}} 2 or [[VideoGame/{{Starcraft}} Ozzcraft]].
** "LOL RTS", used by those who disliked the RTS element.
** "Nuke Solo" are the Facemelter, Shadow Blast, and Curse solos, which are short range explosions.
** "Buzzsaw" is a near infinite combo "AAAX * roll forward* , repeat." It can be avoided.
** To make a "Caravan" means to build a group of Headsplitters.
*** Eddie actually [[FridgeBrilliance uses this term the same way]] in an escort mission.

Added DiffLines:

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: EA refuses to drop the money to make the patches created by Creator/DoubleFine available to the public, including the desperately requested [=PS3=] patch to stop crashing. Players who complain to EA have received copies of different games for free. ''Brütal Legend'' is not included in EA's Games on Demand on Xbox Live, or in any of its sales. They are working hard to pretend their relationship with Double Fine never happened.

* StillbornFranchise: Although Tim Schafer intended for the game to have at least one sequel, the disappointing sales figures make it very unlikely that a sequel will ever happen.

That said, he did, apparently, say that it could still be in the cards if ''Psychonauts 2'' sells well (and being financially backed by Microsoft would help in that endeavor).
