TenthStone's list of things it never wants to hear, or see, 'gain:
"interactive multimedia experience"
"brutally awesome"
"better than Doom"
An ad w/ 5 pics, 4 of which are from cutscenes, and the last is a pic
of the box.
A quote from a mag w/ a name like "Electronic Gaming Monthly" or
"Computer Entertainment Universe"
Another Crusader game.
Another !Zone.
A game w/ a QuickStart installation guide, a reference to a built-in
tutorial, and a CD.  And that's all that's in the box.
Another gaming online service.
Bill Gates, and his visions for the future of computers everywhere.
Conversely, Gatesgate conspiracy theorists.
A step-by-step tutorial for turning $10 into $10,000.
Another CD w/ a name like "Hot Games!" w/ a bunch of shareware from
1988.  People, the first Duke Nukem really sucked.  Get over it.
Mortal Kombat 4.
Brutal Paws of Fury (yes, that's an actual game, involving a bunch of
forest animals kickin' each other's ass.  It is SCARY what these comps.
will do to find the newest craze).
The words "newest craze".
Another Atari Game Pack.
An Amiga Game Pack (actually, Pirates is a decent game).
Sigs w/ twenty quotes and a piece of meaningless scribble.
