BOOM-HEADSHOT!

I feel that we should be studying the communication between gamers in various different settings. The language used is completely ridiculous and clearly would be a blast to study. For example…words like noob and pwn appear to be complete gibberish, but when used as an insult to a foe while piercing their skull with a sniper rifle, they can be quite effective. Although this may not be the most proper of communication, I feel takes a place in many people’s lives. Without communication in video games how could we properly give out the chance-for-success to our fellow clan-members? If we could understand the meaning behind all of this communication we would completely open up another culture to study.
