Do you use the gamer language like "n00b" or "nub" or "h4x0r" and stuff like that? I think it makes u sound like a new person to the game trying to act cool aka a NOOB, lol. So do you say it?

I rarely use it. I only use it when I'm really in too the game and got carried away.

I use pretty minimal gamer language. I do use n00b and say haxxor and all the short cuts to chat conversations like omg, lol, rofl, ect. But I normally only say those things when talking to my friends I know.

I honestly can't say that I have ever used that language, nor do my gamer friends, that I know of. I don't even know what any of that really means!

n00b is like a new person and hax0r is a hackor, lol. Oh yeah and 1337 is leet, basically.

I never use it - it would be like learning a whole new language! For example, I can see how 1337 means leet but, what does leet mean? And things like h4x0r don't look like anything to me. I guess I'm showing my age ;-)

I don't use any kind of "gamer" language. In fact, I still use complete sentences and proper punctuation when I communicate with other players in a game. Futhermore, I can't stand the use of the word "noob" simply because it's such a dim witted word. I don't understand why people choose to use it...neophyte sounds so much better.

I don't see how you do that. Stop moving for minutes to type your message. Soo much easier to use slang.
