The AMIGA POWER List Of Death

AP did not impose much upon its writers. If you wanted to write a review in anagrams or something, that was fine.

But there were certain words and phrases the use of which invited kickings-off of faces. Lazy phrases that displayed a lack of interest and thought. Grotesque words that betrayed a spectacular missing of the point.

Younger readers who were unmoved by Scotland Yard's Black Museum may nonetheless wish to have an adult present before examining AP's List Of Death. If you've actually used anything on the list, you've made a complete bish of life and will have to become an enigmatic minister as penitence.*

If you use this and are not speaking about multiplication, you ought to be punched. If you use this and are speaking about games, you ought to be crippled with hammers and entombed alive.

Very and Nice

Their greyness allows them to be seen by the public in the lexicon, here and here. Do not take this as an endorsement of the occasional usage.

If you liked X, you'll love this

If this is the sort of thing you like, you'll like this

"I have reviewed this game from the description on the box. Please kill me with pliers."

On the other hand

So we'll just ignore everything you've said up to now then, eh?

A 100

"100" means "one hundred." "I see 100 ships" means "I see one hundred ships." "I see a 100 ships" means nothing. At all.

If you are not talking about a library book, hang your head in shame. It will then snap back more satisfyingly as our collective uppercut connects with the underside of your chin.

Gameplay

Imperil yourself by ignoring us.
