Desert Eagle

Manufactured by Israeli Military Industries, for Magnum Research. A Gas-operated massive motherfucker.

Generally known to be one of the most powerful pistols available today, the Desert Eagle has obscene stopping power. Coming in .357, .41 .44 Magnum, .50 Action Express and .440 Cor-Bon calibres, the Desert Eagle fires big-bore rounds. Popularized by films, television and video-games, e.g. Half-Life Counter-Strike, the Desert Eagle is in fact avoided by everyone from counter-terrorism squads to terrorists themselves. It is about twice as heavy as the average pistol and approaches 11 inches in length - a normal pistol is about 6-7 inches. The Desert Eagle has considerable recoil and its only real use is sport-hunting, due to its single-shot accuracy, and sheer power - it could probably stop a bear dead in its tracks. The .50AE, is half an inch in calibre and weighs 'only' about 19 grammes. It's relatively slow, however, which severely impacts on its performance as a longer-range weapon.
Only men of Arnold Schwarzenegger's physique can truly handle the Desert Eagle, especially when chambered in .50 Action Express.

doom

A game which all players of Counter-Strike, Halo, Quake et al should thank for making the first-person shooter genre what it is today.

Doom is a classic in the true sense of the word. It spawned techniques still used in First-Person Shooters today.
Doom >is greater than> CS+HL+Halo+Quake+Unreal+GoldenEye

All are fantastic games, but Doom outranks them all. After all, Doom is simply legendary among shooter fans, even more so than the seminal CS. Thank Doom, with its crude 2D sprites, blocky graphics and unparalleled gameplay.

swing low

A old spiritual sung by plantation slaves.

Recently popularized (in the UK) by the success of England's rugby squad in the Rugby World Cup and in particular Fly-Half Jonny Wilkinson. He scored a conversion in the last 90 seconds or so, putting the score ahead to 20-17, from 17-17.

For those who come from non-rugby playing countries:

Try: 5 points.
Conversion: 3 points. Mr Wilkinson's speciality.
Swing Low, Sweet Chaaariot,
Comin' for to carry me home...

Swing Low, Sweet Chaaariot,
Comin' for to carry me home...

...and so on.

Swing Low primarily refers to their eventual semblances of freedom, E.T.A. 28th August 1963. Possibly, the "Sweet Chariot" symbolizes civil rights legislation that may free the oppressed black peoples of America, and everywhere in a more general way.

steam

1. Noun. The gaseous form of water, H20.

2. Noun. An excellent idea that manifested itself in an extremely buggy and sometimes stupid program. Automatic patching? Great! A friends network? Why didn't they think of that before? A program slower than a sloth? Not good.
1. James Watt was principle in the development of an engine working using the pressure of super-heated steam.

2. Steam took too long to update itself, so the uber-1337 WON veteran Jimmy smashed his computer, before realising that he could just shut down steam and play Counter-Striike 1.5

Why does Friends Network work only about 25% of the time?
