Quick Ben - "lol pwned"
Oh! Leet-speak is just mangled English used by adolescents and hackers. "Wall hacks" in first-person shooters like Quake let someone move through walls to attack from unexpected directions. "pwn" means to "own" someone completely, as in, have complete mastery over. LOL stands for "laugh out loud."

The joke is to trivialize QB and Bauchelain's encounter. Does that "translation" help?
