Back in the day my friends and i used to go to a LAN gaming place in Cardiff, where we played counterstrike and that sort of stuff, but anyway, it was the first itme id really been playing games like that on multiplayer cos id always had a shitty internet connection. It was about this time i was introduced to all the gaming slang and the concept of ownage. after a while the old gaming place went kinda shit so we stopped going and i didnt really play any online games til recently when i came to the university and the brodband internet access here (when its working). And now i find that everyone has forgotten how to spell and own has become pwn. wtf why has everyone forgotten how to spell, how could i miss an important development such as this in a little over a year?
