You're just mad because I didn't throw you in there. Lol.

yeah man you got me

but yes, that is indeed how you pronounce them in... american

Also, is that really how you pronounce those Latin words in English? Because that sounds really awkward.

i will not accept this judgement from somebody who pronounces my name as asinine as you do

tl;dr

I don't know if I want you reading my threads anyway.

Back from E3 edition. I knew I wasn't gonna be able to do these every day, but I think this works better anyway. No gimmicks this time--the general plan was to have at least one or two words that one would be able to use in a regular conversation without looking like a weirdo, and those are always rather tricky to think of. I got a fine slew of them this time around.

Videlicet - /vih - DEL - eh - seht/
[viz] [viz.]
From the Latin videre licet, meaning "it is permitted to see".

Perhaps you've seen the abbreviated form of this word used before--"viz". "Videlicet" is its full orthography. It's simply a fancier Latin way of saying "namely" or "particularly": My wallet contains two kinds of currency, viz. coins and bills. Nowadays, it's totally superfluous, given that the term's purpose can be replicated easily with a special punctuation mark, videlicet the colon (:), but it remains one of my favorite words to this day simply because of the way it looks and sounds.

Effervescent - /EFF - er - VES - ent/
[effervesce] [effervescing] [effervesced] [effervesces] [effervescence]
From the Latin ferverscere, meaning to "begin to boil".

For those of you who still drink soda or other carbonated beverages, you know effervescence very well. The fizz that emits from the can once opened is effervescent--or, in other words, "bubbly". And just as the word "bubbly" can also be used to describe a very happy, energetic, or chipper individual, effervescent can be used to describe that person, too. I also like to use it as a verb, as in: She entered the room with vivacious gusto, effervescing the premises until almost everyone was smiling. Only use it to describe people who are sickeningly excitable.

Cuckold - /CUCK - uhld/
[cuckolds] [cuckolded] [cuckolding] [cuckolded] [cuckoldry]
From the Old French cucu, meaning "cuckoo" (bird).

...I'm not sure if the Internet knows what this word means, or not. The shortening "cuck" seems to be a word to describe either of two things on the Internet: 1.) Anything the Internet does not like, or 2.) A traitor, or metaphorical adulterer.

In actuality, a cuckold is the victim of adultery, not the adulterer. My hapless friend was cuckolded two years ago after his ex-girlfriend cheated on him. He is now a cuckold. However, the term itself is often associated in modern times with a sexual fetish wherein a submissive male enjoys the thought of being cheated on.

I don't know why this word is being used in such a strange way lately, but it makes me wonder about people sometimes.

If you're wondering about what the real term is for someone who commits adultery, look here:

Also they won't be making games about shooting aliens according to their Twitter.

It looked interesting, but >phones

I'm gonna vote for Chromehounds.

:^)

I don't even really care about file size. I don't know if I could ever accept a digital only system.

Much like boob jiggles.

Which isn't a gesture and isn't even accurately portrayed in this fucking game, as if it needed to be portrayed in the first place.

It was really more like the saddest facepalm ever.

Does anyone honestly want full digital?...

To be honest, the PS4's[ur kinda slim already, I'm not sure how much smaller they could make the thing

Apparently, images have been leaked.

I don't know what one even looks like, so, I don't know how it compares, but yeah.

Nope.

That shield design looks cool, I guess?

But no, I'm not impressed by simple torches, towers, and... vine-y things.
Especially with that drab color palette.
