Gamer Talk

Terms and What They Mean

Gamer talk....Ok there you are playing your online game, when suddenly out of nowhere you get this message from a gamer, "Do u mind if I camp here with u? im farming a uber weap from the mobs here and their the only ones it drops from :)"

What he wanted to know in gamer terms was if he could destroy the monsters in the area you were fighting, without you getting mad. There is a weapon, a really good one that drops from the monsters there that he wants.

Gamer talk is fast and easy to learn and gets what you want to say out fast. This is especially good when in a group and fighting many monsters at one time, or when you are in a PvE battle (Player vs Player). It might take you some time to get use to the terms but once you do, you will be a pro at using them.
