Is it just me or are more and more morons using the word "gay" to review console games?
Nowadays, I've seen many people write things like this:
"This game is gay. The graphics are gay. The sound is gay. Don't buy this gay game" That's it! Many people don't prove their reviews. They just write "gay" a lot. How many people were inspired by that review? I don't know about you, but zero is a great estimate.
Let's look at the definition of the word "gay", shall we? It has TWO meanings:
1) A happy, bright, joyful, cheerful person
2) A homosexual male
I'm guessing that the idiots wanted to use the second meaning, in order to 'diss' the game. But how could a game be gay? Does it fall in love with other games?
If those retards intended to make a metaphor, the least they could have done was be original. How often do you hear the word "gay" these days? I hear it like 100 times.
Man, talk about stupid pointless unoriginal reviewers!

Oh yeah? Atleast I'm a happy, bright, joyful, cheerful person. So that was a compliment. :P
BTW, this is interesting. The point of this thread is to expose the truth and we should do something to stop morons from writing reviews, right?
I have an idea! How about this? Everybody should take an IQ test before reviewing a game.

I reckon those reviewers should just tone down the brightness control with their knobs XP

Fragmaster, are you actually trying to start an intelligent discussion about the word "gay" at a GAMING forum? Now, now...you should know better than that.

Common twelve, we gotta put a stop to all this nonsense in VGR.com
We gotta stop idiots from going to VGR.com and giving bad reviews by throwing in "gay" to describe games.
What could possibly be a better discussion?

The word Gay, currently on VGR boards anyway, is intended to be the biggest put down possible. It used to be CRAP...this game is crap etc.
QUESTION, what will the next trendy word or phrase in dissrespect be?

Well, i personally think that Fallout 2's gameplay is completely heterosexual, graphics awsomely straight, and sound is just nothing short of studhood.

The student that egged Arnold @ University speech said "...it was for Arnolds previous promise not to accept campaign financing, which turned out to be a lie.." [Arnold has, infact accepted special interest $, no big to me, "they" all do it].
Dont tell me gamers have faith in ANY politician out there?
Politicians are ALL "evil doers", lol!

California should become its own country IMO. They are like space aliens over there compared to here.

Reasons US citizens should be thankful for Cal:
California will provide distraction for incomming enemy [North Korean] missles. That'll give you "inlanders" time to run & hide.
California has the FIFTH largest economy in the WORLD!
Cal has the star power of the "COWS"...take that Wisconsin!
