 I just joined this site happy to be gaming freely once again and with people around my age that are able to remeber owning an atari and nintendo! Looking to f@#k s&!t up, talk smack and have fun. To work out the days frustrations of kids if you have any, work responsibilities psycho significant others and all that jazz. I was then confronted with posts and members with posts regarding to "newbs" a.k.a. "noobs" , pwns and timmies (what is a pwn and timmy?). I was then tempted to blast up a blog about how the f@#k can these people my age be referring to each other in these terms, when most of us played atari. Implying that the only thing NOOB about me is the grey hair that just sprouted on my ass thats got atari veteran written on it! But then after surfing the web researching the love of my life (my new xbox 360 and copy of GOW2 bought on friends suggestion) I started reading about glitches and switches and all sorts of "new" "itches" and came to two conclusions 1.) that maybe i am a newb and 2.) if your using these itches its because your an unskilled "itch" yourself that needs to get over anyway you can!I have more respect for the player that 2 pieces the shit out of me (which im working on) or out skills me in any other fashion, rather than "itching" me out with thier lack of! It makes me appreciate the days of in house arcade street fighter tournaments no "itches" there just kill and trash talkin'! (by the way you can still find these type of pick-up games in chinatown NYC). Now that i got that off my chest, whats up? wanna dance?

(what is a pwn and timmy?). pwn - not to be confused with a "pawn"(chess piece that usually bites the dust early off) a pwn, ahem,... pwn is the internet mutation of the word Own. When you Own someone you are repeatively shutting down this persons every attempt to "own" you. Timmy - A child in the xbox live(XBL) gaming system that is too young to be playing the "R" rated games their parents buy them. Timmies usually have little to no repect for [i]anything[/i]. You may find some petty arguments around the site using such phrases towards eachother but most of them are for fun. Hope this helps. 8)

NO........... its a buddhist monk that set himself on fire at the beginning of the vietnam war, self-immolation was his way of bringing attention to the persecution of buddhists in vietnam at the time! that was the $5 answer the short one is that it made a cool rage against the machine album cover!

All the things I really like to do are either immoral, illegal or fattening.
