The phrase "next gen" is finally for the most part dead. Nothing ever could possibly annoy more than those meaningless words.

I'm not gonna lie, I oftentimes still deliberately say "next gen" instead of "current gen" just to piss people like you off. It's a more subtle form of mindgame trolling for me. I do this kind of stuff a lot with the way I structure threads and posts to really get under the skin of people in a way that doesn't break any rules. Makes me feel like an evil genious.
One example of this kind of tactic is that often times, especially when I'm debating someone and I can tell they're getting aggrivated, I use a lot of italics to what I'm writing because it makes the whole post look more pretentious than it is hehe. Another example is my avatar making me look like a bully. Another is my signature making me look like smart ass.
But yeah, I don't really see anything wrong with still saying next gen. Especially when there haven't been many real next-gen experiences yet. I don't feel like you're truly into the new generation until games are being made that wasn't possible/being made in the prior generation regularly. This gen so far just feels like last generation but with better graphics. The first next gen game for me is MGSV, because a locked 60fps in a complex open world just wasn't possible last gen. And even there, it's obviously not going to stick, as people actually think it doesn't look good.
