While leaving the bathroom after Activision's press conference, we heard the following from an unknown blogger: "Yeah, I was liveblogging the whole time, and 10 minutes into it -- like everyone else probably -- I had to go pee. Like, really badly, but everyone told me not to stop and just to pee my pants." We feel ya, buddy.
You could always go to the [insert your most hated platform manufacturer here] booth. They just got done peeing on the gaming public, after all; it would be unfair not to pee back at them.
The term is often used misleadingly to refer to the sting played by the drummer in cabaret shows to accentuate the punchline of a joke. As a result, a particularly obvious laugh line is sometimes called a rimshot.
So yeah, even though its not technically a rimshot as a drummer would understand it is a rimshot in cultural terms. Stop ruining the fun with your encyclopedia.

You can go pee, anonymous man. We, the readership, officially give you permission.
