Today, when my friend and I were playing Halo, he kept yelling "I'm n00bin ya!"

Yeah it got annoying.

Morning time. On the bus. Half asleep. I look up. I see the bright world around me. "Damn gamma is set to high."

On the computer downstairs. I'm clicking some stuff, and I notice that the printer is on. I moved the mouse pointer to the edge of the screen as though I would move it over and click the printer off. When it hit the edge and wouldn't go further I suddenly realized what I was doing.

I say w00t alot and sometimes I'll add an occasional -zor on the end of words. I call people newbs all the time, but I'm pretty sure that word was around before online games. Also, I use tons of keyboard shortcuts, and I will say them out loud about things. "Don't make me alt+F4 you!" I dunno, dumb stuff like that.

That made me laugh so hard, I've done stuff like that before too, heh.

My brother pisses me off alot, and I play alot of FPSs. So I play to turn around and shoot him with the ST Rifle (original Jedi Knight). OOPS! He isnt there.

And in the game Gothic II, somebody says the word newbie! :O!


I do alot of the EB things. See above post.

And heh, when my mind is somewhere else or I can't focus I'm like: Man, this lag is shitty, or I need fatter pipes, or I'm pinging like an unloading M1 Garand.

You get the picture.

some of my friends say "pwned" because of the site www.pwned.nl

[Afrobean]

I have a question; when you guys say pwnd do you pronounce it "powned"? The reason I ask is because when I read it, it registers in my brain as "own" but in that flash toon, I'm pretty sure he says "pown."

[esupin]

It's poon, I think.

[QreepyBORIS]

Poon? What the fuck?

Pown. The ow is no like "Ow" but like "Oh".

So its like "owned", with a "p" before it.

In French its like "Pwin" or "Pfin" or something. According to my infallible French teacher.

In NS one time I heard a guy pronounce it like "pawn" over his mic. Even hearing somebody say that made me feel 10x nerdier.

[FishFishRevolution]

pwned, it's owned, except the o is bleeding. Pronounced powned.

[Spazzbite]

I say w00t and owned all the time, a lot of people just don't catch it. Every now and then a small "o hax" slips, which is sometimes funny.

On a side note (I HAVE to tell this), the other day I was trying to call a friend, but I had accidentally dialed my own phone number, not realizing it. I held the phone to my ear and thought "Hm, it's busy" and set the phone down. 10 minutes later I glared at the phone and thought "What the fuck did I just do???"
