Instant Action - anyone?

Hi! I'm new here at the forums but have been reading penny arcade for 3 years now.
I decided that my first post would be about instant action since that's where i spend most of my time these days.
Instant action is a game station in your browser. You can play all the games inside your browser, but don't be fooled, these are not some retarded flash games - these games have modern graphics and serious gameplayability.
Go to www.instantaction.com and try it out yourself.
I think the best game on it is Fallen empire: Legions - a spiritual tribes sequel.
Go try it out and tell me what you think.

Still, at least I get to add 'gameplayability' to my personal lexicon.
Kudos on the neologism there, good sir.
That's more of a nonce - ie, a word invented for a single use.
In other words, I'm saying don't ever use that word again.
eh, you seem fairly agreeable, so I'll just let you know that threads like this don't tend to get looked on too kindly in these forums. Something in the rules about 'no sitewhoring'. If you want to advertise your site, then you can put it in your sig (perhaps with a delightful eye-catching banner!).
I don't even post here that much, but even I know the mods are pretty strict about stuff like this.
Seriously, how did that word come to mean that?
No, i'd love to know the etymology, here. Someone explain before this thread gets taken out back and shot.
It wouldn't surprise me, it's just that awful.
I guess - you get caught doing it once, you never live long enough to do it again?
It kind of is when it's just a link + "these games are great." It doesn't really take much that more content to make a serviceable OP.
It may have been a shitty opening post. But really, all people needed to do was

Go there for the instant action thread, or

Although saying that, I did find this thread, so I should shut the hell up because you were probably all right in the first place.
Interesting. I always heard it in the fiddlin' context. That 'not on normal courtyard excercise' thing is fascinating, actually. So there's the possibility it was kind of an unintentional acronym, unless whoever thought it up was aware of the existence of the word 'nonce' (sorry, I'm pretty hard-line on what the definition of an acronym is - the letters have to make up an existing word. It really bus me that some people think that CIA is an acronym. Its an abbreviation.)
uh, yeah, instant action. It actually does sound good, but i'm at work, so no dice.
