That is what I think I know. Also what does "all your base are belong to us" mean?
Samurye.
You don't know?
It was a very from the game zero wing. It was very poorly translated into english, it went something like this
Of course I believe it was a flash animation that spread its popularity.
Okay....
Its from Zero Wing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQnDkgdIn_A check it out.
Here is a link on you tube it's from covering the story
FTW is also WTF backwards. People use it to avoid curse detectors.
LOL all your base are belong to us. Now I know where it came from.
FTW is what the guy that wins says
WTF is what the guy that lost says
I thought FTW meant for the win.
shadows are just being funny
ftw is for the win
wtf is what the fuck
if it was a well played map by both sides, it is costumary to say GG(good gome) by both parties.
other terms to be added:
RA - Returning Armada ; you would not believe how many do not know this term
cap - capitol ship
FLTCOM - Fleet Command ; this is a navy term that might be applied here
DC ships - Direct combat ships (light frigate, heavy cruiser) ; an occasionally used term
mine - the exploding kind
also, put in that LRM is sometimes used instead of LRF.
any other ideas?
Entrenchment: When your dying grandmother calls to ask you be there at her side for her last moments, and your car fails to start. You get in your wife's car and get pulled over, hit every red light, run into rush hour traffic on the highway, cant find a parking spot, get lost, find the info desk to get a temorary ID, realize you left your wallet in the car, go back, realize the elevators are out of order, take the stairs, get stuck behind a morbidly obese man in this scooter, get detoured because the hallway is sealed after someone starts throwing up blood, make it to grandma's room, find out she got moved to hospice, run to the other end of the hospital, wait in line at info desk behind a man with Alzheimers, find out her room number, and MAYBE, just MAYBE you'll get to see her tonight.
WHAT?
Pwn does not mean those things, it means "own". "Own" means those things. Pwn is just a typo, and is actually pronounced "own". Just so y'all know. c:
It's not a typo when I say Pwn deliberately. And I pronounce it was P-own
LOL.
FTW does stand for "For the Win", however, it also does stand for "Fuck the What".
sooooooo.... samurye goin to update the first post?
Why?
Exactly.
to make it easier to get an overview, and hopefully make it worthy of a sticky
Cap: capital ship.
Space egg: Jarrasul Evacuator.
Minidump: crash notification.
Mabey we could find a link to a leet translator? That could realy help.
Make that:

because the first post is always the one that is looked at, and is visible no matter what page is up. and not having to search through the whole thread would be much easier.
