Nick Frost from Shaun of the Dead said it best, "We're not using the Zed WORD!" I think there should be a KNOWN rule that we will no longer say the N-G word anymore. I am talking about the dreadded and now annoying "Next-Gen" word.
I mean c'mon! It is not CURRENT GEN! It was N-G last year but they all have been out for almost a year (at least) and it is almost easy to get all of them. I mean cereal people. I say this word should be written into the rules/guidelines that you can't use it until a said time. And the said time will be when talking about the NEXT iteration of consoles (ie: Xbox 720 [if it comes to that], PLAYSTATION 4, Nintendo QS, PSTSP, Nintendo Super Wii, etc.)
Can we do t hat people? Can we? Please tell me you can hold oiff from using this word from until the next "race." We are all tired of hearing and tired of this stupid debate about who's "e-penis" or "video game penis" is bigger or truer. I mean it is VIDEO GAMES!
In closing...
I promise not to use "N-G" word as long as I can help it but only if it refers to the next group of consoles.

Creepiest post ever if you take it out of context.
I'll sign the petition. Also I'd like to not the flagrant misuse of fanboy as saying something good about a system does not make you one, that word needs to be taken back.
Oh god, thank god someone else thinks this way. Using next-gen to refer to any current consoles makes no sense, and I wish PR people would realize that soon, because it makes their stupid press releases sound all the worse.
@branflakesinmilk: I've always wondered that samething myself. Considering he's talked about Demon Hunter before, I wouldn't be surprised if it is a Blindside reference. :P

what's a "next-gen?"
Isn't SSBB Next-Gen though BSD?
We're a stupid race, and when we evolve we're proud to show it.
We're next gen!
We're a stupid race, and when we evolve we're proud to show it.
We're next gen!
SSBB is for the Wii which is CURRENT-GEN. GameCube, PS2, Xbox are LAST-GEN.
Cereal people.

I thought we weren't allowed to talk about N'Gai anymore for a sec there.
@Cowzilla
Let's just say it's the "creepiest post ever" for the fun of it.
What about Now Gen? :O
I thought it was a NeoGAF thing for a second as well.
I just assumed Blindsides was sick of Naggers. They annoy me as well.

I thought it was this:
Which would have been fine with me, because I don't even like EVA, but I digress...
That is all.
I thought me and nilcam were being banned from talking about the awesomeness of Neo Geo for a second. Thank god I was wrong.
Dear PS3,
You'll always be next-gen to me.
Love,
That guy
@Butmac
You're doing it wrong!
Is Blindsidedork a reference to you being a Blindside fan?
Oh god, thank god someone else thinks this way. Using next-gen to refer to any current consoles makes no sense, and I wish PR people would realize that soon, because it makes their stupid press releases sound all the worse.
totally thought you were going somewhere else with that N-G thing.
HEY. I said this yesterday foo
@branflakesinmilk: I've always wondered that samething myself. Considering he's talked about Demon Hunter before, I wouldn't be surprised if it is a Blindside reference. :P
I thought we were banning discussion about the N-Gage.
This post needs moar Demon Hunter
I thought we were talking about the N-Gage too. Saying that makes me shudder.
