You're welcome. Probably the biggest irony is that I've never even played a first-person shooter game over the Internet.

I should have just asked my two semi-resident experts on this culture: my sons. Of course, my question would have provided them with immense entertainment.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

I think "leet speek" requires more time than regular typing.

Three of our uncountable grandchildrens have caused a blue death on their playing environment of my home PC. (Vindoze, as You guessed it.) I will never install anything around Spiderman, if I want internet at the next weekend...

The tragic thing is that I am one of the experts/craftsmen, who have made available this type of nonculture. (No, not really. Only I am working in this area.)

Acording to a hungarian saying: "Mom, I didn't want this type of horse!"
