OT - New Term for gamers - OT

[Hand of Evil]

Okay, everyone laughed when I said I was the first to use the Pulp term to describe what games were moving to. Now I heard a new term that will soon take over the gaming industry: METRO-

As far as I can tell, it is the act of appearing to be without being.

How I am not sure but somewhere down the line it will be the latest thing!

Does it come from "metrosexuals"?

metro-gamers

gamers who appear but have never played a game....


sounds like the latest version of d02 to me.

I do think so never placed it but that is not where I heard, I heard it being used to describe a basketball player in the local paper, they refered to him as a metro-scorer and going big time.

I was thinking more metro-fantasy or metro-superhero or metro-steampunk
