Granted, but 99% of the time that's NOT what they're talking about.willard3 said:Unless it's a WWII game and you're using a bolt-action rifle or an M1 Garand...then "clip" is correct.DoctorNick said:'Clip'
It's a MAGAZINE goddammit! Call it a 'mag' if 'magazine' is too long, but clip is INCORRECT.
Movies do this also...
I'm gonna go ahead and add in 'Sick.' As in, 'that was a sick (good) shot!'
It makes no sense, since when was being sick, throwing up, or generally feeling like boiled turd a good thing? Does that mean a healthy shot isn't good? I just don't understand it.
Also 'FML' - (Fuck My Life) for being the most emo, pointless term ever. I had seen it thrown around a couple times, until I realised what it meant. I just wanted to slap the person who typed it.

Rape... i hate when my friends are describing how they were playing Call of Duty by saying that they raped the other team... Really guys? You bent them over in the middle of the match and raped them? That must've been uncomfortable for both parties involved.
Usually to describe THE deaths.StarStruckStrumpets said:

Yea, that is found in more than just games, but rather a common misnomer in these times.DoctorNick said:'Clip'

So it is apparently a crime to be of anything other than a perfect equal, when you're better, you're a haxcksor, when you're worse, you're an OMG=n00b. Such a stupid online community. These terms are only used by obsessive perfectionists, they never report the hacking, they're just justifying their loss.bluerahjah said:
I dunno, I say raped in that context, just because it fits in a figurative sense. It's annoying when someone says it every second though. Can't you think of another word to use? Annihilated sounds way cooler. So does decimated.Walrus42 said:
That one kinda fits, though. JRPGs and other...well, I guess I'll just say "western" RPGs don't share that much in common besides having stat and leveling systems and hours of gameplay. They follow different conventions, especially the idea of usable characters in relation to the story (JRPGs almost always have set characters, RPGs usually encourage character creation).danskrobut said:
Aside from the general internet abbreviations, I'd have to say, as someone who's hung out on an MMO forum way too much...I hate the term "nerf." Mostly because its connotation is so different from its meaning.
If anything, anything is reduced in effectiveness, typically for the sake of game balance, it's a nerf. And there will always be people whinging about it like you just kicked their dog.
Clip clip clip clip clip..... Lerroy Jankens pwns all of youz... LJ FTW cause i r l337 spartan suck it noobs
"noob", "newb", etc.
It justs sounds so ungraceful. It doesn't roll off the tongue like it should. "lol", too.
And I still don't know what "1337" means.

I think the thing that bugs me the most about playing online games in general is the number of people who use chat speak or "leet" speak as they call it. The other big one is people calling anything or anybody who is different or they don't like gay or "gey" it just really gets on my nerves.
Oh yeah and people saying /thread at the end of there posts. It just seems really stuck up and arrogant beyond making the whole post seem less intelligent.

"Bio Break". Everytime I hear it, I assume they are working on their science project. Just say you are dropping a chalupa and be done with it ...
