To Be Honest, you're the "noob"

Now don't get me wrong I've played my fair share of multi-player games in my days, not as much as I should have recently (thank you very much, university) but I still find it funny every time I hear someone call someone else a "noob".

Generally this happens after said someone has killed said someone else in a game, usually in a First Person Shooter. Now let's stop and think for a second. You are making your merry way around the game, and behold someone manages to kill you. Of course you insist on flaming the chat dialog with as many obscene words as you can and of course let us not forget the word "noob". Urban dictionary defines a "noob" to be


A "noob" is a person who is new or inexperienced in a subject, usually an online game. Noobs are usually annoying and excessively stupid

Now that sounds kind of familiar, doesn't it, now who could it be. Oh, wait, its YOU. By my calculations, 90% of people that call someone a "noob" are "noobs" themselves. Doesn't it seem ironic enough that when you are killed by someone and you call them a "noob" then WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?

So next time you are playing a game and you think about calling someone a "noob" stop and think, am I the "noob"?

  1. I agree completly, and I'd lake to add that there are two types of "noobs"
    1. Noob < refer to the aformentioned rant

    2. Newb < new to the game with little experience and is asking for help, they should be aided and encouraged as they will one day become a good player. Everyone was one at some stage

    I think people need to keep this term in context as it is thrown around like the word love, Noobs on the other hand should be thrown into helicopter blades and then run over by a semi trailer not before i can beat them in the face with a chicken. Fucking noobs...
