Games are not parties

All of the annoying catchphrases that are plaguing this forum, and you pick one of the most benign to fired up about?
 
This is funny because LTTP isn't even some random phrase. Games aren't parties, but lively game discussion is kinda like a party environment. The idea is that you are late to the group that's chatting about the game, not late to the game itself.

I approve of its usage.

Shut up.





This has to the most annoying GAF phrase ever.

It's a fucking expression. What are you, the language police? Can't you find a real problem to be annoyed by?

Whoa, sensitive fella, aren't you? And, to answer the questions, yes and no.

I like this logic. Though I've always wanted to start a thread that said: "Late to the Hate: <insert game>". Unfortunately (?), it's rare that I pick up old games that I know suck.
 
It's a very good convention to label threads about older games. You can always tell from the topic line. That's not bad at all and very functional.

I tend to give people credit for having a brain larger than a squirrel and being able to recognize that FFVI isn't that latest acorn to fall from the tree, but I suppose that may not be true for the average gaffer.

Wow, you're so smart. Please, tell us more about why we suck!

I like how "late to the party" means you didn't play/buy a game within 1 month of a game's release date. GAF am flavor of the week total.


What bothers me more are the people who post those threads like "OMIGOSH I JUST BOUGHT A (insert console) WUT GAMEZ SHUD I BUY?!?!?!"

Yeah, it seems every other day there's another "what's good for DS/PSP/whatever"
 
I liked it when people at least to spice it up rather than acronymming it. TYPE IT OUT YOU FOOLS!
 
I agree with the OP and not just because he use a MC avatar but lttp is really fucking annoying (I can't point exactly why it's annoying but I just want to punch in the face at the OP of those lttp threads)
