3.0 Skeletons have no DR at level 3 edition
3.5 Shapechange and Wish got broken for no good reason edition

Two things off the top of my head.
The Gaming Den; where Mathematics are rigorously applied to Mythology.

While everyone's Philosophy is not in accord, that doesn't mean we're not on board.

Four-word edition nicknames would be call. In fact, four-word game system nicknames would be more awesome. Such as:

Rifts: Kev's unbalanced bullshit fantasy.
4E DnD: Too many faults, period. (this was hard - summarising how 4E fails in four words is challenge...)
FATAL: If /b/ designed RPGs...


Or something.
Everything I learned about DnD, I learned from Frank Trollman.

OD&D: The WTF Edition (because you couldn't figure out what many of the rules were saying)
BD&D: The Rainbow Edition (after the colored boxes)
1e: Gary's Acid Trip
2e: The Day After Gary's Acid Trip

And editing some others' ideas:
3.0: Fighters Suck Edition
3.5: Druids Rock Edition

4e: OD&WOW
