i managed not to understand the more complicated words for about i don't know 2 years? but, there's only so long you can delay comprehension. unless you mess up your mind, and i don't want to do that.

Re: se4 is teh r0xx0rz w00t w00t
 

Perhaps this forum is so much more popular than the other games' is due to the close-knit threads (no pun intended) that bind SE players together. In most games, the majority of the excitement and plot are derived from the game itself. In SE, however, much of the excitement, and almost all of the plot, are derived from the players themselves. So we are so bonded to each other in-game, that this forum is just an out-of-character extension of the game.
BTW, I can't say for certain if this is true, as I myself haven't played MP yet (though I've followed the forum for a long time). Waiting for my SEIV Gold to arrive. It should be here shortly after the weekend, and that does indeed r0xx0r!

I'm pretty sure that "w00t!" initially developed in one of the early FPS communities, as a very brief way to express jubilation over a kill/frag. It was then adopted as a de facto standard in just about every other game where a shorthand was in any sort of demand.

I always just mentally translated it as a very energetic "YAY!". Close enough.

whatever it means its pretty powerful-sounding dont you think?

Re: se4 is teh r0xx0rz w00t w00t
 

Doesn't sound powerful to me, just lame and cliche. Little kids trying to look cool and such is all it is, really.

or they could just be having fun.

Re: se4 is teh r0xx0rz w00t w00t
 

Sure, it's all fun and games now, but just wait until the next President of the United States updates the Constition and uses "w00t" in every paragraph!

You know it's comming sooner or later...

It would have to be the Supreme Court - they are the ones that interpert the United States Constitution (officially) rather than the President.

Re: se4 is teh r0xx0rz w00t w00t
 

They interpret it though, not re-write it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Actually, I'm not aware of an official way the main text can be re-written (amendments don't count, the original text stays as-is..which is why Prohibition is still on the Constitusion)

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Theoretically, there could be another constitutional convention - The US has actually had two of them - the first was right after the Revolutionary War, the second came a few years later when the first wasn't working out too well (and resulted in the modern US Constitution)
