What are the words that drive you crazy and why? I guess my entry would be: Hyperbole: Way too overused and usually incorrectly. It doesn't make you sound more intelligent. Nothing says, "I'm in my first year at community college and I just learned a new word" like the term hyperbole. |

immersion and realism...there is nothing wrong with those 2 things as I would love to have them in a game, however people overuse those 2 words to complain about EVERYTHING

Originally posted by grimgryphon Do you have an alternative to the word "hyperbole?" The word is fine. Hearing people try and pronounce it is kind of funny though. |

Rose tinted anything: there is nothing clever or interesting about being the half billionth person to use this term. One that I am thrilled to see almost extinct is the lovely cliche "at the end of the day...": just use "ummmmm". It has the exact same usage and it's much quicker to type.
"I agree that "unimaginable complexity" is absurd, but so is comparing a single player game to an mmo. It's like comparing masturbation to sex, they are similar in some respects, but really are not comparable." -jimdandy26 |

Vet. Like they survived a tour of duty or something (or maybe i'm wrong and they're reffering to a healer class that takes care of sick animals) Also the phrases starting with 'i was an alpha tester for.......' bother me for some reason. I was an alpha tester for chess but you don't see me bragging about it. |

" insert MMO here " Killer. Nothing for senseless that branding a game an XXX killer, you play a game because you want to play it or enjoy it, not because it crushes the competition.
