    The King wishes a stoning death to all who use the term 'balance' and is not a gymnast.

    Themepark/sandbox - DESIGN TERMS, not going away, deal with it.

    Whiner/noob/nub/fanboy/troll/etc. - go ahead and use different terms, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

    I voted for anything with sauce because... I mean, it just doesn't make sense... at all... except perhaps "Awesomesauce", if you're referring to the hot sauce you just slathered on the tenth taco you stuffed in your face as "awesome." But I digress. I also hate "U mad?" because it's like saying, "Derp? I can't think of a good response."

    Yes, derp (and/or herp), roflcopter (and any variations thereof), lolz, lulz, zomg, etc. can all stay in my book. You see, on the Internet, we can't make the many subtle sounds/gestures that happen in real life interaction, to add flavor and depth. Stupid phrases like these will have to suffice, as long as they make some relative sense (unlike "sauce" or "U mad?"). For instance, if you wanted to look like a troll, you'd probably use lulz instead of the plain old "lol." It has a purpose.

    Real life phrases? Hmm... "Fo realz."

    Being a player of EVE online the #1 saying that i wish would just die already is

    Can I have your stuff? and its many different iterations

    I mean why for god sake on every post do i have to wade through countless "can i have your stuff" posts before i can see any reasonable discussion.

    People on EVE forums remind me of sheep just making the same noises over and over again with no real meaning.

    in before someone asks me for my stuff. 

    Edit: I love sauce especially of the bbq variety

    Edit #2: "voted cool story bro" because i hate being called "bro"

    Playing: PO, EVE

    Any person who expresses rage and loathing for an MMO is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae.

    This.

     

    After years of MMORPG experiences I have yet to see anything even close to 'next-gen'.  When they one day release a game where you can jump into it through your screen and be the hero, then use it by all means.

    As long as you take the "I'm Leaving" post along with the subsequent "can I has ur stuffz???2?"

     

    Fine, you're gone/upset/broke... shut up and hit the cancel button.

    'Sandbox MMO' is a PTSD trigger word for anyone who has the experience to know that anonymous players invariably use a 'sandbox' in the same manner a housecat does.


    When your head is stuck in the sand, your ass becomes the only recognizable part of you.


    No game is more fun than the one you can't play, and no game is more boring than one which you've become familiar.

    I am sick of people asking if game X has good "END GAME" stuff to do..  if we had real game worlds they never end, they only go on for ever like reality, do you ask if there is a end game when you retire no you just do it, or you don't.

    but since we will never have a real game world any more, just co op  games with a sub added to them now this jargon will never go away

    I like cool story, a friend of mine in EQ1 used to say it all the time (this was a decade ago now)

  • erandurerandur Member Posts: 727

    I hate people who use abbreviations like lol in real life, and actually pronounce it as 'lol'. Those people deserve to die in a fire. Slowly.

    You know it, the best way to realize your dreams is waking up and start moving, never lose hope and always keep up.

    I'll add FTP when it means 'Free to Play'.

    To me, FTP stands, and will always stand for 'File Transfer Protocol'.

    you know what really grinds my gears? "Noob,Carebear,Hardcore". I understand kids saying it becouse thats what they do, let's face it they don't know any better. But when you here thoes expresions coming out of 30+ year olds with such self importance for some reason it makes me want to strangle people. So I voted for Noob as thought that just about covers it.

    The expression '' Im a (game name) Vet.......

    A lot of people use this word like they survive a war .. geez by all mean having played a game some years ago doesnt make you a Veteran.

  • FibsdkFibsdk Member Posts: 1,112

    - Aye

    Unless you are a pirate. Do not use that word.

    - Imba

    Nothing screams "WoW retard" like using the word "Imba" for effect

    - Anything starting with "I haz"

    lolcatz were funny in 2001. It's time to move on

  • IronfungusIronfungus Member Posts: 519

    Deciding to add my own: Next-Gen. This is the dumbest thhing ever to be given to a game. Ever. I wish these stupid companies would stop using it.

    Well if you're going to use it in real life, why waste your breath pronouncing three syllables (EL OH EL) when you can do one ("Lowell" or "loll")?

    Not that you SHOULD use it in real life, of course.

    Rofl just sounds stupid if you try to pronounce it, though. Rawffle waffle. Just listen to Oxhorn's ROFLMAO on YouTube.

    In games:  I hate anything L337

    In real life:  I hate HATE when anyone says lolz instead of just laughing

    In both:  Anything related to Bro

    I will not play a game with a cash shop ever again. A dev job should be to make the game better not make me pay so it sucks less.

    I will respond to this despite your lack of formal framing when addressing a member of Royalty. (Just a note next time it should read more like.. "Sire, I Waldoe of Interwebs, doth humbly ask, why do you talk that way? Oh just and kind Ruler of the Realm.") 

    But to your question; what do you mean? I type as clearly and concisely as is required for proper syntax of the King's English. If you have found something off about my structure or subject then I beg a humble request that you cite such anomalies specific to your questioning.

    Back on topic,

    Aside from 'balance' I could go another day living without hearing someone utter "I'm just sayin'." Of course you are sayin', you're speaking or typing and it should be your own words unless quoting someone for a specific cause.

    Such useless whittling of one's most precious time.

    He was playing with photoshop involving a fruit and a crown. Then came up with an idea, about creating a new handle and talk about himself in third person, in hopes people would go with it and find it funny. Then he just went with it

    It's been done before. Maybe by the 500 post mark somebody will embrace it like himself. I hope so because it's starting to become a little embarrasing

     

    Somebody throw the guy a bone here!

     

    Edited: Awesome, somebody did
