Today's secret word is "gameplay." Whenever anyone says the secret word, I want you to scream real loud, okay?
Or not, that's fine too.
There's some debate lately in the myriad of podcasts and blogs I consume every week about that word, and whether it should be excised entirely from the collective critical vocabulary.
One article written a while back suggests that using the word gameplay is like saying "bookread" or "moviewatch." It's a nonsense term that has no meaning. That seems to be the brunt of the argument.
