One knows they are not "with it" anymore when they read a thread like this and have no idea what anyone is saying. "Clans?" "AOTS?" "LEO?" "Coutner Strike?"
Clans are game player groups, some just casual, while others are professional teams playing for money and bragging rights against players from other parts of the world. Team 3D is the number one Counter-Strike clan, they are sponsored by Intel.
Attack of the Show (AOTS) is the very crappy phoenix rising from the ashes of ZDtv/TechTv's Screensavers which was one of the highest rated channels on the channel. After G4's take over, they moved everything to Los Angeles, most of the staff was local to San Francisco, most did not make the move so they quit and went elsewhere. G4 canned alot of good shows from ZDtv/TechTV. Extended Play is the one show that still retains it's name and format.
Leo is the man. Leo Laporte, he's a tech guy that everyone can relate to, easy to listen to and a funny man. He was/is host of Call for Help and was co-host of the Screensavers. He is currently doing his daily computer talk show on KFI 640 AM in the Southern California area, he also runs a very popular podcast called This Week in Tech (TWiT). He is also an accomplished author.
Counter-Strike, this is back to the clans description. Counter-Strike is a online multiplayer game where players take either Terrorist or Counter-Terrorist and go head to head for different objectives. Terrorists plant bombs, guard hostages or kill the VIP. Counter-Terrorists defuse the bombs, grab the hostages and take to to safe points or guard the VIP and escort him to his rendevous point.
Hope that clears some stuff up Tom.
