I really dislike "Casual" and "Hardcore" because they are both terms that are used to define multiple unrelated gaming preferences.



I really hate the term "Gimped."



Pixel Art can be fun.

Id love it if media would stop using the word "wii"

I've updated the OP with some of your suggestions. Too bad we can't actually go out and murder words. We'll just have to exorcise our frustrations here.

If there was no "gimped" then how would we describe being footstooled to a dair that leads to a premature death while we try to recover.

"Oh man you just footstool daired me to get a low percent kill." or "Oh man you gimped me."

 

Most of the good ones have already been taken.

Hardcore is tossed around way too much lately. I don't really even think the people who use know what it means.

Waggle is kind of a funny word, but I agree they should stop using it to descibe wii motion controls.

Flop and doomed are also used way too often.

casual and mainstream, however, waggle can stay, describes the wii in one word.

 

 I really wanna see you "waggle" through M+ games later this year .

 

Are you saying that the more violent a game is, the more complex the controls must be?  Or are you implying, this is what I think you're doing, that more violent = more hardcore/serious.

Stuff like this is why I HATE the word "hardcore" and "casual".  The whole hardcore = violent or harcore means you play genre x is ridiculous to me.



AAA, and of course, the Halo Killer



I would like a ban on the number 10. no game is perfect and i really hate score creep.
