Races & Classes by the Numbers

But who knows, maybe he's trippin' off the chain!

Dude, you just failed your Bluff check.

Cold wack fo-shizzle indeed, Josh.

Exactly, it could get bizarre if they start with "This is the illest race." or "You gotta check out this dope class!" etc…

Actually, I'm excited about 4e, but that doesn't mean I don't find it irritating when the designers keep saying "cool" like they were twelve years old or something.

Yes, but the intended audience, HaXXmagepoobumw00t, king of the Misty Glade WoW server, knows he is cool. As cool as the shapely pixels of his she-elf alter-ego.

I've changed the thread tag to "humour" since that seems to be what you're getting at here (and if it isn't what you were getting at, it is certainly what you are getting IYKWIMAITYD)

I think the rampant use of "cool" is more of a thing with our generation. (By 'our,' I mean me (I'm 35,) you (almost 37--early HB BTW!,) and most of the 4E design team.) I say 'cool' more times in a day than my father has said in his whole life (another hyperbole?)

QFT. I'm 31, and I use 'cool' all the time as a part of everyday speech. I expect the designers do the same. It's just such a common word I don't see how you can blame the designers for using it.

I abuse "cool" regularly.

Though I'm trying to lay off "dude" as much as possible.

Apparently, its not cool anymore.

It has become huge in the UK.

Dude, that's totally cool!

That confirms it then. "Dude" is dead.
