Re: Which came first.............

I was just gonna say the same thing. heard it before, dont' have a fecking clue as to what it means...

and about pwnd... i think it was a misspelling of owned. I believe there are some stories about myg0t inventing it when CS was new... but i have no idea if they are true or not.

World Opponent Network or WON was an online gaming service, created by Sierra Games as the Sierra Internet Gaming System (SIGS). WON was used by games such as Half-Life, '', Soldier of Fortune'' and online versions of casino games.

That right?

From Wiki :


Another popular phenomenon in the community is a staged video starring a player named Leeroy Jenkins, intended to provide publicity for Leeroy's guild. Leeroy's popularity is even present in other games, such as Guild Wars, where an NPC named Kilroy Stonekin rushes into battle while yelling his name in a direct reference, and in Adventure Quest, where a direct tribute to Leeroy Jenkins is replayed by players in the Vamprook Spyre.

Just goggle him to get the video. it may be staged but it's the funniest thing in years :)


Also a good wiki article on Internet Speech :

It was either a typo 'o' and 'p' being close and it stuck... or it came as a short term of pistol owned from early FPS players.

Microsoft wants to help you speak teh 1337 sp34k.

Excerpt:
"The suffix "0rz" is often appended to words for emphasis or to make them plural. For example, "h4xx0rz," "sk1llz0rz," and "pwnz0rz," are plural or emphasized versions (or both) of hacks, skills, and owns."
