Or another Morganite can play it.

Paintball? Why would somebody wants to paint balls when he could have been planting forests and building roads? Hmmm that doesn't sound very exciting as well.Be good, and if at first you don't succeed, perhaps failure will be back in fashion soon. -- teh Spamski

it must be this younger generation's cyberspeak, or summat, but what the heck is meant by:
0wn3d, and it's sibling, pawned (or whatever) - and l33t (I can't remember if that's the right combo I saw somewhere, but you get the gist)

It's called Leet speak. Using characters that look sort of like the intended letters, and using common mistakes as intentional substitutes. Hence l33+ for Leet, and 0wn3d or pwn3d for owned (=defeated/dominated)."Give to Caesar what is Caesar's? Pay no attention to Caesar.

Poor Googlie.
Not sure if the younger generation is any good in math, at least they are using numbers like 1337 and one and eleven. You know, like !!1!!one!!!11! Looks like 0 and 3 are quite the favorite too.Be good, and if at first you don't succeed, perhaps failure will be back in fashion soon. -- teh Spamski

Well as far as I can tell.
Owned came from "I own your ass" or "your ass got owned". Which sort of means "you don't have control of the situation anymore".
Generally I've observed it to be used in situations where one person is saying he's better off than you are due to you falling flat on your face, either from other causes or because of that person doing certain things.Comment

Generally the people that talk like that either
1. went to a public school
2. had contact with 12 year olds on AOLComment

Look all the serious people studying 1337.

Bender: It was horrible! A nightmare!
Fry: What happened?
Bender: I dreamt I was in a place of 0's and 1's and all of a sudden... I saw a two *whimper*
Fry: It's ok Bender, don't worry. There's no such thing as 2's.
The goal of 1337 speak is to make your text as indecipherable as possible, while still actually conveying meaning.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

OWNED
PWN3D
PWND
PWNED
OWN3D
0WNED
are the common spellings of 'owned',
meaning that you have been dominated, overpowered, humiliated, or have generally had your ass kicked.
1337 (as I had for my avatar before the spam)
is a manner of speaking in symbols.
EDIT:
Methinks this thread got 0wn3d.Comment
