An achievement/trophy that a player can only get by interacting with another player online who has already earned the same achievement/trophy.

The ability to communicate via voice.
The disgusting process in which a character regurgitates the contents of their stomach back into the world, usually performed as a means of purging the body of poisons or intoxicants, but often (in videogames, anyway) used as a means of projectile attack by non-human enemies.

A room made for the sole purpose of containing a single weapon.
