Thesaurus Fail

"The concept of being part of a team ... reaches its nadir in Halo: Reach. You will become emotionally invested in your Noble Team compadres..." (emphasis mine)

Yes, folks, they used "nadir" to mean something they liked. Found in the print version of Best Buy's Gamer magazine. Unfortunately this juicy bit of failure is not available on their site (that I could find).

Oh, don't worry, I didn't spend money on it. Dratted thing just showed up in my mailbox and, well... bathroom multitasking, people, bathroom multitasking.

I dunno, considering how nihilistic the Hollywood crowd has been getting, maybe "nadir" really is being used as a synonym for "greatest" by kids these days. Like how we used to use "bad" for "good" in the 80s.
