Don't just say "oh its a IRC whatever thing"
I want to know WHY and HOW that can be read as cool.
We could start off a Special Reserve clan. :D I know Kiriyama does sometimes, and MJ-Swerve/MJ-Recoil is leader of one of the best clans around. Sniper still plays too I think.
I use this sort of language on IRC and in Tactical Ops all the time - ownage, pwnage, 1337, uber, ub0r, n00b, w00t, lamer, lam0r etc.
It's just a shame I'm not exactly a 1337 player.
How to be a lame haxorz and be cool. Thanks to Woodland for creating this p.o.s lol.
