I know its not used by industry types per say (I would hope not), but I hate the word fag in any incarnation. You hear it on xbl, and on forums, and it might be ok to some, but I think for uttering it you should be raped by a gorilla.

Fag.

"attach rates" - because how many games you buy at the same time as a console is really reflective of your overall buying habits

Agree. Use of it should warrant instant XBLA ban, or at least a stamp on your profile notifying others you've been caught using homophobic language.

That's not what an attach rate is.

The word 'SNIPER' used in an online username / gamertag.

You just KNOW that there's a bratty little 13 year old behind it.

SniperElite. ShadowSniper. XxXSNIPER47XxX etc etc.

It's not supposed to reflect any individual's overall buying habits, it's supposed to reflect a console's initial selling habits.

Doesn't matter, forget you heard it. And no matter what, don't, just DON'T say it three times in a mirror.

Worst thing about this gen for me. Give me a fucking game on a disc and no more hassles anyday.

"movie tie-in"

People who say "a game".

Cunts.
