All things I wish where the Most abused words in gaming since then it would mean they where more common.

Well, they could just add cheap, garbage versions of these things.

I for one am looking forward to the sheep expansion in the latest CoD...

I'm really tired of "spiritual sequel" or "spiritual successor." Let's call it what it really is: A knockoff.

Also calling a game an "experience," ugh...

There is a difference in formal an informal. My fiancee has a fucking masters in English... it's not a verb lol. But, use it as you want.

Well the Oxford dictionary even used video gaming as an example of its use as a verb, and well... that`s the most English dictionary there is. Maybe you yankees are different but... meh

I think people should use whatever version of language their country uses.

Totally gonna sound like an old man here...but "LOL" is one of the most annoying things I see written, gaming or otherwise. Whenever I see posts littered with it I just vomit inside my mouth. It either make you like a hyperactive fool, or just are trying to be annoyingly facetious.

I mean really...it takes two more characters to write "Ha ha" which at least doesn't make you sound like a freaking idiot.

"Over rated"
Meaning, other people enjoyed something more than I did. The world should confirm to me.

Exclusive is definitely the most abused. No contest.

I'm not even sure what it means anymore in a gaming sense. It's just PR spin. In fact all the insults gamers throw at each other are nothing when compared with the words used in ads/reveals/promotions etc "Experience" is another one that gets thrown around like nobodies business.
