[QUOTE="Super Pony, post: 6002786, member: 6669292"] Hazing is certainly one way to handle stuff I suppose. Most of the gamer geeks I know probably wouldn't respond that well to it. But if it's part of the relative gamer culture you're working in, then sure why not. It is interesting to me that MMO terms have somehow become the new Prequel Trilogy in terms of broadbase scorn with simultaneous appeal and mass acceptance. How do people handle other "annoying" intrusions of pop culture and/or scifi fantasy vibes? Stuff like Harry Potter, Twilight, Wizards of Waverly Place and even Flight of the Navigator? I've always managed to deal with it by chewing the erasers off pencils, screaming into a pillow afterwards or punching a protected species ([I]take THAT spotted owl[/I]). I still think my limit is text-speech though. I'll move to Mars and live with the Curiosity rover at that point :-) [/QUOTE]
