Isn't mentioning that name around here a bannable offense?

Well, it should be. -.-

Kekeke

In Hangul, the Korean written language, people express a laughter sound with repetitions of the character "ㅋ", similar to the "k" sound in English. Since early versions of StarCraft did not support Hangul, Korean players would use a romanized spelling—hence, kekeke was born. The phrase is a phrase similar to the English and French "hahaha", Spanish "jajaja", Chinese "hehehe", or Japanese "fufufu"/"huhuhu". It is often used in-game as an expression of exaltation or as a form of mockery. Commonly, it is associated with the StarCraft tactic of a Zerg Rush, named after the StarCraft faction for whom the tactic was created.[14] The phrase "Zerg Rush kekeke!" is sometimes used outside of the game to indicate any form of overwhelming or swarming force. Kekeke is also used as an evil laugh and is used by players using devious tactics and/or playing evil characters. While this usage is thought to have its roots in the laugh of Kefka, the main villain from Final Fantasy VI, kekeke is commonly associated with laughs of devious characters in Japanese manga, anime, and video games, and has made its way through various translations.
The phrase also occurs on the MMORPG World of Warcraft. There are two major factions in the game which 'speak' different languages. All chat text entered by a member of one faction will appear jumbled to a member of the other, and vice versa. As a result, members of the Alliance faction would see "kek" when a member of the Horde faction had typed "lol". The cipher works a little differently for longer words though, and "hahaha" becomes "kekeke". This has become a widely-understood term amongst World of Warcraft players.[14] This is also a good example of what is known as an easter egg in the game World of Warcraft. The game writers at Blizzard used hundreds of famous phrases and names in populating the game world, and KEK (Orcish for LOL)[14] was intentional.

I remember seeing a Dysphoria (Hunter vs. World) video and saw Kek (In the chat log, the Orc talked to her in /say) and thought about that. Now it makes sense...

There are good webcomics, like PBF, and even mediocre/popular comics, like VGCats and PennyArcade have occasionally decent entries amongst the meh. CAD has no silver lining though.

Ironically, about the 8th comic on that page is a religious joke. Also, if that stuff is what you call good then I don't think you should be insulting other comics...

As for the Wiki page, I thought most of the letter substitution, and the reason it came about, was common knowledge. But the stuff about Roxorsz and lol and stuff aren't really leet stuff, they're webtalk. Leet in and of itself was just the 7`/|>1|\|6 1|\| <0|)3 so only those in the know would understand. Nothing really new there though.

Not that I support Legal Fish's brand of "criticism," but PBF is top-notch. Right up there with the likes of Sinfest. Also, there's a difference between making fun of religion and making a religious joke. The "Eden" strip you referenced falls under the latter.

Edit: To clarify further, what I meant to say is that BRP's gripe was against strips that make fun of religion, not religious jokes.

Re: \/\/1|&lt;1

I won't question PBF's art style, its nice. But humor? I don' think I even got near a smirk while reading any of it it. Condom Merit Badge? Um, OK. Man sees a dead bird, the devil appears and he sells his soul for a long, serpent-like penis. Um, OK. Mario drowns himself in a toilet. Um, OK.

The closest that strip got to funny was when the kids beat down the grammar guy for ending his sentence with a preposition.

Almost funny, but not quite.

This warrents a smirk, if you're a gamer, anyway:

Re: \/\/1|&lt;1

VGCats . . . has its moments. And then . . . it has its "moments."

I personally don't see the author's gripe with the Transformers movie, for example: yes, the product placement was blatantly obvious, but other than that, none of his arguments held very much water.


Overall, gaming comics are okay, mostly depending on who the gamer is.

But back to "leet," I personally avoid using it as much as possible. (How did this topic go from leet to webcomics?)
