"Go to high school then play" games

Post by Dave Allen »

I'm not half through with The Ur-Quan Masters but I've already collected quite a list of words used in conversations which were a stretch for me to remember from my high school days - some I even had to look up in the dictionary.

Words like: Bellicosity, eulogy, ineffable, egalitarian, gelatinous, voracious, physiologically, milieu, territoriality, synchronicity, flatulent, verve, self-flagellation, butterfingery, contemplation, and lavatory.

I was wondering if there were any other games to play where an 8th grade education might not cut it. :?:

"Gelatinous" and unfamiliar word? Clearly you were never an avid D&D player. :)

What eighth-grader wouldn't know the word "flatulent?" :? It's words like that that made Junior high School fun!

You are such a cube.

Oh, come on. Who *didn't* know self-flagellation before?

"Synchronicity" is a bad word to find in a game - it's a popular corporate word.
