Pantroptimist

A person who opens the same pantry or refigerator more than once within a short period of time with the notion of something delicious magically appearing, as if they missed it upon previous glances. Although they continue to follow the same pattern when hungry, pantroptimists are typically left with picking a mediocre item that they saw twenty minutes into rifling through a food storage location.
Ricardo: "Hey Pete why is Jim looking through the same places to find food?"

Pete: "I'm not sure, it's not like he mystically overlooked some tasty treat or something!"

Ricardo: "Seriously... fucking pantroptimist."

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.
