I am not a player, but thought I should pass this along. Maybe congratulations are in order or something...
[This is the snippet that caught my attention: The fine people over at Merriam-Webster's Dictionary today released their Word of the Year for 2007: w00t. For those of you who are unfamiliar with World of Warcraft or do not live in your parents' basement, w00t can be defined as "a hybrid of letters and numbers used by gamers as an exclamation of happiness," or more accurately, "something you yell into your gaming headset to express delight far beyond anything you will experience in your actual life."]
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Expect cheers among hardcore online game enthusiasts when they learn Merriam-Webster's Word of the Year. Or, more accurately, expect them to "w00t."
"W00t," a hybrid of letters and numbers used by gamers as an exclamation of happiness or triumph, topped all other terms in the Springfield-based dictionary publisher's online poll for the word that best sums up 2007.
Merriam-Webster's president, John Morse, said "w00t" was an ideal choice because it blends whimsy and new technology.
"It shows a really interesting thing that's going on in language. It's a term that's arrived only because we're now communicating electronically with each other," Morse said.
Gamers commonly substitute numbers and symbols for the letters they resemble, Morse says, creating what they call "l33t speak" — that's "leet" when spoken, short for "elite" to the rest of the world.
For technophobes, the word also is familiar from the 1990 movie "Pretty Woman," in which Julia Roberts startles her date's upper-crust friends with a hearty "Woot, woot, woot!" at a polo match.
Purists of "l33t speak" often substitute a "7" for the final "t," expressing a "w007" of victory — an "in your face" of sorts — when they defeat an online gaming opponent.
"W00t" was among 20 nominees in a list of the most-searched words in Merriam-Webster's online dictionary and most frequently submitted terms from users of its "open dictionary."
The choice did not make Allan Metcalf, executive secretary of the American Dialect Society, say "w00t."

Lol, I played CS freshmen year in college, we couldn't have cars on campus so not a whole lot else to do, it was a rural school. Brings me back to the good old interweb days, before the fall of Napster. I am married now but do play WoW on occasion since one of my college buddies is on and he's about two hours away. It can be a good way to hang out with people remotely. my playing time cut WAY back when I got the car though, shows are much more fun then raids since the gold I get is real 
but the ever growing mod list now eats a lot of time. Only picked up two cash prizes so far, maybe someday I'll break even.
On a second note, here's some geeky WoW-based and gaming comic links, enjoy.
