[Lets choose] the ENworld un-word of 2008

[Nikosandros]

Nerd rage.

(And for those of you who think people are misusing "simulationist" or "verisimilitude," your agenda is showing like a geek version of plumber's crack. And just as welcome.)

What on Earth kind of agenda do you imagine that I have in nominating 'simulationist'? Please, spell it out.

I am (and have been for some time) openly pro-OGL, anti-GSL, not keen on 4e, and a fanboi of M&M. . . but really, how does any of that fit in with this supposed 'agenda' of mine? Or perhaps it is something else altogether that I was allegedly implying? What, then? I would like to know.

I repeat, somewhat more emphatically - let us not make this thread confrontational.

 

[Aus_Snow]

Um, .

Sorry Umbran, I actually missed your previous post - it took me a while to phrase my reply in a - wait for it - non-confrontational way (!), relatively speaking, so I guess you posted it while I was doing that. And then it was on the first page, so I couldn't see it even post-posting, so to speak.

Oops.

 

[Rechan]

WoW.

"Videogamey", due to the general lack of specifying:

1. Which aspect of the game the poster is talking about;
2. Which video game the poster is talking about;
3. Why it's a bad thing (when used in a negative context).

Nerd rage.

I have to ask. What is nerd rage?

 

[Wicht]

Fail.

As in, "this is full of fail."

I want to grind my teeth every time I read this phrase.

Hoo-yeah, I can get behind this.

Although, having said that, I could never completely hate the word that gave me this wonderful blog.
