Glad you put a key in afterwords, as there were a few I never heard before, actually I've never been to a gamer forum before, but I have a techsland dictionary and have seen many of these in there, but again, not all. Really cool piece.<br /><br />Just a quick aside here. I first learned how passionate gamers can be when I was at a comic shop a whiles back, and I can't remember how the conversation got started, but I made a comment about world of warcraft, as to why would people play it with all the negative associations that have been made about it, endless etc… and well, lo and behold this kid stood up and despite being about 150 lbs lighter than me, defended his game as well as he could, and I was shocked. I think his parting shot was to go play some madden, and I just had to laugh because a week earlier I bought the then latest madden game. funny story, thought I'd pass it on. <br /><br />Great write.

The couplets help keep the density of new words from throwing off the reader and the lingo adds such character to the poem.

Much appreciated. <br /><br />@Aprille: I guess it gets a bit tricky with blogger when you try to have a bit more than just straight text. Went to look and appreciated your links, though I had used google to find the meaning of those I couldn't figure out. Very meaningful illustration that it does matter the words one choose. I tend to go as common as possible but now I see the value of using more complex words through these exercises and works.<br /><br />@Grace: I can see how it can be similar. :)Ravenblackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07408808375869234480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462814069356368476.post-17740079589023046692012-06-24T20:09:02.516+08:002012-06-24T20:09:02.516+08:00I am not familiar with the gaming lingo so thanks ...I am not familiar with the gaming lingo so thanks for the notes and comments.
