Kartoffel Posted April 16, 2002 Report Posted April 16, 2002 Products of people with too much free time and no sense of the world: StatBuilder , and Progress Quest. SB is a great RPG, however your mileage will vary. PQ is a RPG for gamers who like D2 and EQ, but dont like all the clicking. [ 04-16-2002, 16:10: Message edited by: Kartoffel ]
Epsilon 5 Posted April 16, 2002 Report Posted April 16, 2002 l33t is like chips for me... it's good from time to time... but If I take too much my tummy(head for l33t) will hurt, and eventually I'll grow fat (stupid for l33t) Of course I stopped talking to some people on icq since anything they said was "lol", even thought its not funny in any way.
XenoZohar Posted April 16, 2002 Report Posted April 16, 2002 Damn those Elitians. I think I'll start calling everyone who uses it Neo-Elitians. Confuse the heck out of them.
Guest Grayfox Posted April 17, 2002 Report Posted April 17, 2002 its good to be bilingual being able to speak normally and also to be able to talk in "l337 5p34k" is a commodity in todays online market

Wolferz Posted April 17, 2002 Report Posted April 17, 2002 There are ways to cure those folks from speaking that way. Print their brand new computer manual in leet, before it's translated from Japanese to English.Add programming to the PC that prints everything in leet on the screen. The instruction for removing it will be placed in some obscure section of the previously mentioned manual.Require all information on the warranty card to be written in leet, which will guarantee that the technical support staff will be unable to find their registration, much less help them when the previously mentioned problem arises.Oh by the way, when one refers to the spelling of a particular english word, one should consider which side of the pond one lives. Whether it be Color or Colour. You say Po-Tay-Toe. I say Po-Tah_Toe. If you find fault, go shove your motto. Laughing Out Loud
Guest Grayfox Posted April 17, 2002 Report Posted April 17, 2002 l337 5p34k is an acquired taste. you either love it or you hate it it took me a few months to learn all the intricacies but once i did a whole new world opened up... (in case you didnt know im being VERY sarcastic)
Supreme Cmdr Posted April 17, 2002 Author Report Posted April 17, 2002 heh, reminds me of that oddball professor; what was his name again? The one who was determined to have the English spoken by African Americas declared as its own language. Damn kooks. They're everywhere.
