My favorite expression is "Roflberry Pwncakes." It's even in the urban dictionary on-line. Seriously :)

I've never used them. I don't get "pwn." I dislike how it lacks vowels, so it's like a nonsense syllable to me. :lol: I have my own random, geeky video game "trash talk." I can't think of any examples to put here, though. :lol:

Hrm, in my mind, i would guess P would refer to players, hence it would be suitable when you say it after having defeated another player, but against a NPC or some AI / computer, i would say "owned" fits more....

Yeah same here, but usually after i say it i go from playing inhumanly well to the skill of a 5 year old for some reason especially on halo 3

Pwned is like Being shot or run over in halo, nothing special, but you got beat.

Owned is like being crushed by a buildingyou blew up, ir being shot in the groin and dying, it's more embarrasing and painful.
