The Infinity Engine Acronym List

(1/15) > >>

icelus:
Anyone's who's spent even a small amount of time on the various IE-related forums or chatted in one of the IRC rooms has likely run into an acronym that befuddled them.  Even the oldtimers likely come across one they've forgotten.  So, in a mad fit of boredom while waiting for various programs to slowly install, I put together this list.  Please feel free to point out omissions or errors, as I know I've missed quite a few.  I will only list recognized acronyms, however.  Please don't make up something just to get it listed.  :)
