The spiritual successor to B1FF and the
archetype of script kiddies. Jeff K. is a
sixteen-year-old suburbanite who fancies himself a “l33t
haX0r”, although his knowledge of computers seems to be limited to
the procedure for getting Quake up and running. His Web page http://www.somethingawful.com/jeffk/
features a number of hopelessly naive articles, essays, and rants, all
filled with the kind of misspellings, studlycaps,
and number-for-letter substitutions endemic to the script kiddie and
warez d00dz communities. Jeff's offerings, among
other things, include hardware advice (such as “AMD VERSIS
PENTIUM” and “HOW TO OVARCLOAK YOUR COMPUTAR”), his own
Quake clan (Clan 40 OUNSCE), and his own comic strip (Wacky Fun Computar
Comic Jokes).Like B1FF, Jeff K. is (fortunately) a hoax. Jeff K. was created by
internet game journalist Richard “Lowtax” Kyanka, whose web
site Something Awful (http://www.somethingawful.com) highlights
unintentionally humorous news items and Web sites, as a parody of the kind
of teenage luser who infests Quake servers, chat
rooms, and other places where computer enthusiasts congregate. He is
well-recognized in the PC game community and his influence has spread to
hacker fora like Slashdot as well.
