h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I only have one question about this article, what is the schunk effect. you only talk about this "apperatus"

Well Dodge Ram (as opposed to a Ford Prefect, perhaps)
The actual 'Schunk effect' is a term used in gameplay (very loosly I might add) when something very unexpected or anything you just can't comprehend happens. i.e. out of no where someone turns around a corner and double taps you in the head (a double tap is gettting shot twice, this excludes any automatic weapons) Or just when you think you have Nate (This would be Schunk's first name) he does something you never would have expected and kills you dead, and of course you never even see him. Oouch. Due to the tallent of Schunk at these multi-player games he has been successfuly been banned from all of his friends houses. (though he always comes over and plays anyway)
I hope that will help you Mr./Mrs./Ms. Ram.
