Here’s a little something I found that could be useful. Check it out:

Can’t post links…replace “DOT” with a period…obviously…

Dude, that’s some Freddie Prince Jr. would say in a 90s chick flick. The “bag of chips” line. You’re going way back now.

Lol.

I started playing a First Person Shooter, Call of Duty, for the first time since like 2007. My buddies decided to make their clan name “1337.” And I thought “Isn’t that kind of cliche?” Then they reminded me, that a lot of the guys playing the CoD weren’t around when people used “Leetspeak.” I felt very alienated from the younger generation of gamers at that point.

I suspect it varied from server to server. On my first server, it was DM until you were of level to do Dire Maul, then it became VC.

Definitely a server thing. I never once heard Deadmines referred to as VC until I saw an argument on the forums. Dire Maul was always referred to by which wing. People didn’t just do Dire Maul; they did DM:E, DM:W or DM:N. (Or even referred to the one as Tribute Run.)

Bingo. Everyone who called it VC was late to the party ;P.

Every alliance NElf Hunter named some variant of Legolas. XxLegolasxX, Legolass, Leggolass, Llegolas, you get the idea.

I remember one getting creative and naming himself, Legomyegolas.

Lol.

To this day, I still refuse to acknowledge, must less group with anyone who types “ne1” instead of “anyone”.
