console wars

The seemingly neverending battle over which gaming console is supreme among all the others.

In the past, the console wars were between Nintendo and Sega, but nowadays, the three main competitors are Sony with the Playstation 2, Nintendo with the Gamecube, and Microsoft with the XBox.

It's really not that big an issue, but since some people love to argue over inane topics, the console wars rage on.

Troutspeak

It's what alternating caps is officially known by. Alternating caps LoOk LiKe ThIs and tend to be used mostly in forums, because it takes quite a bit of time to type them out. I'm not sure why people do this, but they must think they've got a pretty good reason, because it's still being used despite the fact that it's very annoying.
