You lost me now....wtf is that?

That is a screenshot from an online game called Anarchy Online. It is a space colony basically, and a leet is one of the local inhabitants.

There are many different types of "leet", with the Santa leet being one.

The "leets" got there name from the computer slang "1337". Numbers substitute for letters and sort of look like the letter version of the word. Other words use numbers for sound "L8r" or "R U leet 2?" Anyway that is how I came to know the term. leet is just an example of an entire language of computer speak.

Thanks Hobbes.....erm...I think I understand now.....

you are a wealth of information sir, I am so impressed considering you are clearly one of the old buggers on here.

No chance. I'd have cooked that dog pretty sharpish. In fact even before I'd ran out of regular supplies.

"Hey Dan, all I've got is hot dog!"

Why did I have to come across this as I was eating hot dogs

mr hobbes. wtf do i do in anarchy online?

[hobbes]

It is actually pretty cool and complex now that they have the bugs worked out.

It is a Massively multi-player online role playing game, but it is also a bit of a first person shooter.

You can form "guilds" and do things with a group of people. Like attack a fortress or kill a large monster.

You can be "ghey" and stand around and role play.

You can play on your own and roam a planet inhabited by lots of bad things.

It is something I played for 2 years (monthly fee is charged $13) and I was still learning new things.

I am not much for playing with others, I mainly explored and killed things.

Nice pick up Nancy Drew, for bonus points you could have pointed out that Hobbes doesn't smoke (cigarettes or other).

I liked the picture because it looked like a unprofessional webcam shot AND that the guy looks like just might fancy his appearance.

It could have been me? I think he had people musing. Wanting to flame, but also not wanted to be too harsh, lest it really be me.
