Agonal Pause

"Agonal (Terminal) pause is the time a player waits for a decision to continue playing a computer game (as well as other similar entertainment). It is important to understand that such pauses are not only an expectation of a game event from the player, but also have their own conditions that can influence whether the player’s decision will be wrong and lead to a loss (or cancellation of the game option), or whether it will be correct for both parties and will help decide the future fate.”
