I don't think anyone should even spell it pown cause that makes it look like maybe you think it rhymes with the word town, and if you say it like that you're loving insane like the people who say super 'mayrio' bros.

insane anime posted:might be off base here just a working theory but silent P = oldest gaming generation. quake mother fuckers..everquest..gen x etc. thought beavis and butthead was the poo poo in college. Close I think, but people were saying pwn with the hard p in counterstrike before steam even launched, so it's pre 1.6 for sure. Counterstrike is definitely where I got it from though, and I am old. I remember my whole friend group yelling "loving PWNED!" at each other while playing melee after school. Melee came out in 2001... Time pwns us all.

insane anime posted:drat lol. so that would have been pre youtube..thats so sick tho I had a commodore 64 and nes as a kid and got a prerelease demo of warcraft on 2 or 3 floppy disks from an electronics expo my dad took me too. If I'm not in the oldest gaming generation then forget everquest, you're talking about people that would go to airport restaurants or wherever just to play those tabletop pong and frogger machines lol. I think whether you say owned or pwned depends on how big into pc stuff you were around 2000-2002, it probably depends on what games and communities you were into too. I remember we thought it was weird that they said owned in pure pwnage but just chalked it up as part of the joke, or to them being canadian. I don't know anyone who said pwned wrong anymore though so I have no way to prove my theory. I think they probably all died from being stupid.

This topic is giving me some kind of nostalgia high. I just remembered one time me and my friend were taking turns dying in RE4 and my dad was watching and he just blurted out "that's so pwned!", I don't remember if we responded or how, it just goes blank after that.

I had a friend that played ultima and he used to follow people into their houses while invisible and then lock them out after they left and would leave a sign or something that said "pwned by ___". Never played that game though so I don't know how much of that is a lie lol.

My dad showed me how play spy vs. spy like a real bastard by showing me all the little tricks, and me and my mom beat contra 2-player while letting me take her extra lives when I ran out. Now I barely talk to them
