After this especially shameful death, it would surprise me if “Scorpio2468” ever plays a game of World at War again.

I’ll admit it: I have a habit of becoming very upset whenever a burst of enemy fire deprives me of an AC-130 or a care package. Sometimes, I’ll even hit my keyboard or mumble something profane. Regardless of all my previous fits of nerd rage, I think that if I suffered the same degree of humiliation as this Call of Duty player, I’d probably take a step back and admire the skill of my enemy, instead of lambasting him.

At any rate, this is one for the books. “TheTrout91” clearly defines the word “pwn” for those of us who haven’t been paying attention in class [via Today’s Big Thing].
