Is it just me or is it time for the adjectival use of the word "epic" to die? The terms "Epic Win!!!" or "Epic Fail!!!" are now being attached to the most mundane accomplishments. It's gotten pretty ridiculous.
An epic win is when when the Greek army sacked Troy, or when Ferris Beuller manage to hack into the WOPR using a handset modem and a bunch of programs written in BASIC to play tic-tac-toe and change his grades. It is not an epic win if you mod your laptop to look like a Donkey Kong console.
One of my personal least favorites is when people refer to another person's post as epic fail because they don't agree with it. "Your understanding of the issues involved in hacking the X-Box are epic fail!!"
OK people! It's time to move on dot org and come up with a new term.
