"easily" would directly follow from what I said...

Anyone ever notice that when you select Luigi in Super Smash Bros. (the N64 Version at least) he says "w00t w00t"???

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.

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!

So it's very similar to the army word "Hua" (or hooah, or however else you want to spell it), except that hua also mean things like yes, right, correct, or other affirmatives.

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.
