Melbourne Global Game Jam and JamCast - Katelyn and her co-conspirators have designed a way to broadcast game jam participants' progress to screens all over their host university. JamCast's up-to-date repository on GitLab appears to be mid-migration, so here's the older GitHub repo.

The Guild - A living D&D4e campaign with over 200 active members.

Magic Slang We Never Explained
Momir - An officially sanctioned casual format of Magic that requires every card in your deck to be a basic land, and allows players to cash in lands for a randomly-selected creature. Playable in Magic Online, Magic Arena, and on your kitchen table with mobile phones and blank index cards.
Mono white banding - Magic has five colors, and mono white means it only uses white. Banding is a card ability from the earliest era of Magic that's notoriously hard to wrap one's head around. The fact that the cards are rarely played anymore makes them tempting to use against opponents who might misunderstand the rules of banding.
net-decking - Playing with a deck you copied off of the internet, rather than built on your own.
Ponza - a deck designed to destroy its opponents' "mana" sources, purportedly named after deep-fried pizza.
Sligh - a particular type of aggressive deck popularized by Paul Sligh. 
Dirty Kitty - a deck with an effective combo: sacrifice creatures for mana, get a free card draw whenever a creature is sacrificed, cast more creatures. The deck's pilot will eventually draw a card that deals damage equal to the number of cards cast. The deck name? No idea.
Eggs - An artifact card that can be sacrificed (cracked) for mana or cards. A deck which requires the pilot to crack lots of eggs for a winning combo is called Eggs, as Katelyn mentioned.
Tribal Wars - A fan format in which one third of the deck must be creatures that share a type. Tribal is commonly used to mean "a deck strategy that emphasizes creatures of a certain type," like Goblins or Elves.
