i agree with you completely. someone said that is:lacktheknack said:

"tell me where you live, so i can shove those killstreaks up your ass."
"Gamer". That is the word that irks me.
1. We don't call people who watch television "watchers" and we don't call people who read books "readers", so, why call people who play games "gamers"? All in due time there will be no one left alive that was around before videogames were non-existant, and the use of videogames will be as common as that of televisions and books.
2. Just listen to yourself. "Gamer". "Game" isn't a verb. It's a noun. You don't "game" Half-Life 3. You play it.

Any sentence talking about what a n00b I am. I'm sorry whiny 12 year olds for only being 1st prestige. I have something called a social life. Maybe you should get one too.
...Why? I see no real distinction between "I murdered your ass" and "I raped your ass" when used to refer to video games.nekoali said:
Both refer to horrid crimes, and both have NOTHING to do with ACTUALLY committing horrible crimes, and most of the time is used by straight guys against other straight guys (though I've heard girls say it to guys and girls alike, as well).
On topic: As OP said, pretty much just "entitled" pisses me off. Most other words don't bother me because I don't get worked up over little things like colloquialisms.
Right now, "petition", because it's getting really fucking childish. Now we're getting preemptive petitions based on absolutely no evidence, and it's all just losing every bit of power it could've had. Like boycotting.
Also "ruined" or "ruined forever". Ex. "Mass Effect 3's ending retroactively ruined the entire series" or "the Halo franchise is ruined forever because they changed how weapons spawn".

just curious..Phlakes said:
say there was a 3-4 part book series, and the first 2-3 were fucking AMAZING, like had you frothing from the mouth you were so giddy about em
and then comes along the last book, and it just flips everything upside down about the past books to the point that you don't even know what your reading because it's so off base with what's happened in the past books, and completely ruins some of the lore and depth of some characters based on what you learn in this final book
would you ever want to touch that damn book again? let alone some of the other ones, now seeing some of the shit you learn about?
i'm not saying i'll not touch me 1 and 2 again, i'm sure i will, but it won't be for a longggggg time after my backlog runs dry, instead of doing 3-4 runthroughs including me3 like i was planning to do this summer.
Noob or Owned used outside a game or a joke, or the 12 year old insult and the Chuck Norris/Justin Beiber jokes. Grow up guys, those jokes aren't funny and Justin Beiber jokes werent actually funny in the first place, he's 18 now, your insults are invalid.

Anyway, here's my carefully constucted educational list... sorta.
Epic, Fail, N00B, Gay... and that's it.
Gay = Stupid for some gay reason. Ugh.
I think you covered my major ones right there, so I'll just add (regarding immersion)Crono1973 said:
People like to cite immersion in ways where "realism" or "appealing" apply. I know people who have been sucked in to Red Dead Redemption for hours (clearly immersed), but claim that third person games don't give you the same level of immersion. The view is NOT what makes a game immersive.
Actually, I'll also add that entitlement isn't a bad thing. We are entitled to many things as consumers.
A lot of these words are fairly important to any gamer's lexicon... I don't know, am I wrong? Have I been dragged down so far into the industry that I'm blinded by it's intricacy and business?
Although, "noob" is reasonably unimportant, and I would like to see that word disappear, but it's also heavily entrenched in the internet, so I don't think that will happen.

My sister actually says, out loud; "lol lol lol"Lagao said:
I've taken to hitting her over the back of the head every time she does it now.
OT: Noob. We were all noobs once. I actually try to help noobs where/if i can. That apparently makes me a "Noobtard"
EDIT; Gay being used in a derogatory manner. Even weirder is when actual gay friends of mine have used the word to mean something negative. Dafuq?
Yeah. I think the biggest problem is that there seems to be no objective definition. Everyone has their own, very personal idea of what is and isn't art I guess.Fiz_The_Toaster said:
Personally, I hate the use of the word "rape" in the place of beat.
And, of course, the liberal use of "******".
