My mistake. I should have figured you were just raging at the stupidity of the term. To answer your question, yes, there are people who use it seriously. I was almost certain I was falling victim to Poe's law at first, but Googling around for the term has proven otherwise.

I'm sorry I angered you. I don't claim to have invented anything. I was, however, answering a question that someone put forth, without making any commentary on the apparent stupidity of the term and the people who use it without irony.

A typo of "Meninist".

X-Wing series? JK series? I mean, the X-Wing series HAD TO BE a dream come true for anyone who saw the Battle of Yavin and the Battle of Endor as a child. I can't imagine anyone not wanting to pilot an X-Wing in a true "simulator" fashion. As for the JK series, probably the best best...

I'd love to hear Bob's thoughts on the currently running 2012 Nickelodeon series. Like Superflick, I think it's the most fun and well made version of the series so far.

Finally got around to reading this article. I rarely comment around here, but I found it weird that only one person had this opinion. The Force Unleashed games and Clone Wars cartoons are what we got from the resurgence of Star Wars, both of which were mediocre at best. X-Wing Alliance and...

I've been saying this for years, ever since a mate told me how cool Devil May Cry was when he first discovered it. I think that's when I realised how uninvolved button-mashers are. Yes the moves are cool, but continuously hitting the attack button while the character looks cool doesn't give any...

I'm reminded of when I discovered what was possibly the only second hand game store on the island roughly 20 years ago, where you could trade in SNES games. I was lucky enough to find a used copy of LoZ: A Link to the Past and I jumped at the opportunity and traded in one of my lesser games for...

There hasn't been any fanboyism in the thread yet. If it starts now, I'm blaming you!

Still funny though. I was just making the point that if ads advertised through sincerity, that's probably what we would get (with some exaggeration of course). So we go into the mess of drawing a line where straight lies end and exaggeration begins. You are right that a group of people saw...

Well obviously advertisements should never lie or mislead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhtTU-guW60 (embedding disabled)

Just because they've (pre-emptively) made a rule for how to do it doesn't mean it should (or will) be done, or that it will be considered legitimate. Rules for citing web-pages have been around for over 10 years and are rarely considered reliable sources (academically speaking) even today...

Epically ninjaed. Kudos sage42, posting that video was the only reason I came to the comments section of this article :)

Hey the Escapist forums made it into a Cracked article. Wadaya know :) Also, thanks for ruining my day with a Cracked link.

I think the US tipping system is a bit too formal, forced and expensive for us on the other side of the pond. By formal I mean people are expected to tip at least 15% which is evident from the wages you mentioned, which also means you're kinda forced (as a social convention) to tip a certain...
