My friend came over and was playing MW2 with some 9 year olds supposed 'Asians.' It was so funny, and my bro was recording it to :3

Kids play XBL anyway ololol.

It depends on your family's attitudes towards swearing in general.
As far as I know, the more a person swears, the less intelligent they are. It's also rude, crass, and completely unneeded in modern communication. However, just like James T. Kirk explained to Spock in Star Trek IV:

Spock: Your use of language has altered since our arrival. It is currently laced with, shall we say, more colorful metaphors, "double dumb-ass on you" and so forth.
Kirk: Oh, you mean the profanity?
Spock: Yes.
Kirk: Well that's simply the way they talk here. Nobody pays any attention to you unless you swear every other word.

Holds true here on the forums even 14 years later.

Not quite. Swears come up in speech out of habit. If you're raised with sailor mouth parents, you'll be a sailor mouth. But you can always break that habit and stop swearing. That doesn't make you instantly more intelligent. I live in Massachusetts, so I say the word "wicked", every other sentence. Would you say I'm less intelligent just because a word habitually comes up in my speech?

I'm 12, I play lots of video games, and I never do that/make a handicapped video about it

It really depends. Was it a word necessary for the topic at hand or were you using it in order to enhance the subject matter? Swearing hardly serves a purpose as either as there are always more appropriate alternatives in wait.

Like for example, "That was loving cool!" or "That was wicked cool!" I'd be more prone to think the person with the least offensive vernacular would be more intelligent.

Why? You measure the intelligence based on the use of certain adjectives?

That's pretty shallow.

They're called "sentence enhancers".

Not really. I believe that a person can go en entire conversation without having to resort to profanity every other word. If a person is interesting enough as it is, he/she won't have the need to enhance anything to gain extra attention. Plain and simple. It's called proper etiquette.

That wasn't Grandma Krabs, it was the old man's jalopy!
