[QUOTE]Starting from the begining I will point out everything i didn't understand, if someone helps me understand it I would appreciate it.
[/QUOTE]

I can try to explain some of it. I typically don't hear much of it on the MMOs I play...

[QUOTE]pwn= pawn? as in own?[/QUOTE]
Yes, pwn = own.

[QUOTE]shiz, bai foos" =??????? is this supposed to be sh*t, bye fools?[/QUOTE]
Correct, this translates into sh*t, bye fools.

[QUOTE]g4nd4lf da gr3y= after spelling the name right earlier why is it with numbers now? [/QUOTE]
Sometimes it happens, varying from player to player.

[QUOTE]joo= jew? who? I don't get it.... [/QUOTE]
joo = you.

[QUOTE]"Ph34r!" = what is this?[/QUOTE]
I havn't seen this one before but I think it means "fear"

[QUOTE]Ph34r haxorz = O dpn't know either of these words[/QUOTE]
I think this one is "fear hackers"

[QUOTE]!11" = one/eleven what?[/QUOTE]
This is supposed to be "!!!" but when players type in a hurry sometimes they take pressure off of the shift key and end up with "1's"

[QUOTE]TK= totally kill?[/QUOTE]
TK= Team Kill (killing someone on your own team)

[QUOTE]gg = ....not really.... they didn't beat it and it didn't kill them....[/QUOTE]
You don't have to win to have played a good game.

[QUOTE]ork: "AIMBOT!" = I don't get it....
ork: "turn it off!" [/QUOTE]
Don't know... but I interpreted it as an external program that aims for you.

[QUOTE]Punkbuster= what is a punkbuster?
non-pb servers = non-public broadcast servers?[/QUOTE]
Punkbuster is a program that supposedly prevents cheating. "non-pb" servers are servers that do not have this program.

Hope this helps. I personally thought it was funny, and I'm sure it wasn't Telendil's intention for this to become a debate about ages and generalization...

Edit* is it just me? Or is the QUOTE feature not working?

ah, I just heard of that from my cousin who got it about three weeks ago, he likes it, but I haven't seen it yet. I still don't understand the rest of it of course/though/still/yet

Strangely, I am very acustomed to leet speak. It was quite easy for me to find that text funny. As Telendil, I actually hate the thing and consider it immature but I play it at my cousin's house just to prevent total boredom. The text also shows some CS language. As Kell pointed out, Aimbot is an external program that helps you cheat in CS. It makes you aim for the head permanently.
A/S/L means Age/Sex/Location. It's ussualy used on internet chat programs when you're talking with someone you don't know.
Wallhaxx or wall hacking is another cheat program that helps you shoot people through walls in CS.

And btw, if you still don't get it, CS means Counter-Strike. It's a FPS game that some immature kids like.

I found that funny. Good job on that, Tellie.

hrrmmmm I think a dictionary for leet-speak would be appropriate! We oldies don´t understand that language....so well....

Here's a translator for you old folks. And the wikipedia article has some translations on it, too.

That trashy form of talking belongs no where near our beautiful fantasy RPGs and books, let it dwindled upon by the paupers down in the FPS genre, har har!

Yeah, I understood it, it didn't seem like leet speak to me at all, just CS speak.

For those wondering what the point is of talking that way, I'll tell you.  These people are 12-15 that play CS.  At that age, people are trying to find themselves.  Look at Kindred, every post he makes is an essay about random stuff.  It's because he's trying to find himself, so he writes about himself constantly.  These players are trying to be cool in the new form of cool, when people in a game like you.  They also have their minds melted to the game so they get frustrated easily and just immaturely explode onto the screen everytime they get killed.  That's the reason shooters should be banned from the hands of people under 15, they're immature and they ruin the game for the adults, and it does something to their heads I heard.

Talking about me behind my back? Now I'm all offended and stuff. Won't disagree, though. Not good enough at self analysis to make a reasonable argument. Besides, if I just assume that you're right, then it could be worse... (I could be trying to "find myself" through leetspeak...or by running away from home and hitchhiking on trains...nevermind, wrong decade)
