It’s been a while since I’ve added a term to the zen lexicon, but a co-worker coined one today: Fantasia Frenzy.

He used it to describe a massive amount of overdesign on a particular part of the game. As in, “I was asked to design a level, and my lead wasn’t there, so I sort of went into a Fantasia Frenzy. Next thing I know, I’ve got a level half the size of Belgium, and my boss is tapping on my shoulder. Looking kind of grumpy.”

Ah well, it made me giggle. Him, he’s in the process of cutting the baby in half. Maybe into thirds.
