BF2S Forums Why does everyone insist on talking like a fucking retard?

I think those quotes are from people making fun of kids aged 12-16. Kinda like the whole lolcats/Caturday thing. For example, my sig says "Battlefield 2 pwnage"... it's not that I actually talk or write like that online, I'm doing it for the humor of it.

... for the lulz.

Come to IRC, we make great use of such language to emphasise certain points.

Is it just me or do people who play internet games and use game forums talk like complete plebs? A few examples i have found whilst just looking through some posts:
'I can has wake?'
'Sends lolz through the internet'
'lulz teh mitosis'
'internets'
'There is Teh n00b'
'I Iz teh L33t'

What the fuck, sometimes i read these little phrases and think...wow what the fuck am i part of. I usually associate this with people from TOP i dont know why but i feel that clans that seem to "rebel" against the BF2 rules often think they are really cool and so come up with stupid little sayings like "ZomG PwnT"

I also associate this type of bull with kids aging from 12 to 16.

I iz offendud. I are reply s00nz.

In my opinion, it's not "talking like that", but "making fun out of people who talk like that". Lolcats have also a big influence on the recent uprise of this type of talk.

Your examples explained:
'I can has wake?'  - Derived from lolcats. See also: http://www.icanhascheezburger.com (but do NOT post them here)

'Sends lolz through the internet' - lol, of which lulz is a corruption. You know what it means.

'lulz teh mitosis'- See above. Teh is a meme/netslang (also lulz and lol are) which comes from a typo cause by pressing the correct keys at the wrong time. Used to emphasize a sentence for comedic value.

'internets' - Also known as "Interwebs", or "the Google". Used often to point out that people act smarter than they are. See also: "Series of tubes"

'There is Teh n00b' & 'I Iz teh L33t' - Leet speak. Used on these forums to make fun out of people who have a lack of social life and actually like to 5p11k li3k th15.

Used in the wrong context, e.g. in "Debate & Serious Talk", the use of the above leads to ridicule from other members.

In my opinion.

Well, if you've somehow missed Happycat, the I can has cheezburgr cat, I can tell you, that at least I find that phrase, togheter with that poicture hilarious. I can has XXXXXXXX has became a web "jingle". It's just such a classic. I often type stuff like iPwn or pwnd ingame, but it's just for the thing. pwn have became so usual, since it's common people trying to type own, type pwn. And of course, people don't walk around IRL talking like

its all about making a connection with another person, sometimes a little bit talk like that can set the mood, popping a sentence in containing some lolcat caption can turn even the most morbid situation into some giggles.

what does it matter that people want to talk like that? you can opt out, why do you think everyone else should?

True Dat.

What is antistropic filtering and where is the option to change it in BF2? I've never seen such an option...?

It's called a joke.

It's best to force it via your NVIDIA / ATI CCC advanced display settings.

Otherwise it's texture filtering in BF2 video options.

If you don't know where to find the advanced display settingslet me know

Texture filtering is AF, if I remember it correctly.

I just need a new mobo. I have a 7900GT.
