Etymology
Vidiot mixes video and idiot, where idiot means 'a foolish person', so it is a playful name for someone who spends too much time on video games. A helpful way to remember it is that video gives the gaming part and idiot gives the 'foolish' part, so a vidiot behaves foolishly or obsessively while playing games.
