But then, how many people are as knowledgeable with computers as us? Considering the vast stories of Computer Stupidities (google "Computer Stupidities", I dare you -- funny stuff), I highly doubt that it's a majority. So a lot of PC-users end up being shafted because they aren't experts in the field of PC's. ;)

I seem to manage it very well.

i think that translates to "i is the betters. you is a noob" (many years of idiots babling in this language on games has helped)

Seriously, I'm not sure if it's just me, but I have noticed a high concentration of "|_|B3R 1337"s in a cluster of Star Wars multiplayer games. ;) (For the record, I am a fan of SW but not a fanboy -- big difference.)

Post by: SilentAssasin64 on September 05, 2006, 03:21:54 PM: To tell ya the truth that was the first time I have ever talked like that. However, in my experience 'language' like that is most often used in gaming communities. I myself do game...I just don't talk like that.

Well...uh...anyway...
