At first I thought it was a typo of owned, but I see it way too often now for that to be the case.

thanks

I think it was because "owned" was often misspelled by these nerds as "pwned" and somehow it caught on as the "cool" (geek cool) thing to do. I wish I didn't know this.

I used to think this too. Spell his name out backward. I think about 10% of the names on Party are something spelled backward too.

As to the original question, it's just a typo that caught on. I think I first saw it on the newsfroups.

But as of 1.5, AK is by far the best well rounded weapon and hella deadly in the hands of a good player.

The only thing that can beat a good AK'er is probably a good AWP'er.

Back around 7.1b or 1.0 one of the servers installed a 5.0b "downgrade". You only needed two installations of CS, but it was fun as hell reliving the old days.

When I first started I couldn't tell the difference between CT and T. I finally realised that CT's have solid pants while T's always had camo fatigues.
