Re: Is "noob" a noob's word?
Ah, the man of Mystery defines the way we see this debate. Which makes me wonder, why has the DAL arcde been disconnected? Surely the gamers haven't been being mean to the newbs.
Is the server having difficulties with all these new members, because quite a few only join because of the arcade. I know the majority of the arcade players joined because of the arcade when i used to play, and i know i did... that was before i found the wonders of this forum.

LOL! Hope I didn't offend you by accident man. Definitely didn't mean to. I've never really played at the D-A-L arcade truth be told. not that into flash games lol.

lol, Nah, not offended, just amused greatly. Only thing that you got slightly wrong was "man" Last time i remeber i wasn't. I played a few games and only those few from thae arcade. The most obvious ones like simon and a game that requires 4 seconds to complete. 4 second fury. Wicked game!
Besides that, i managed to get "King of the Arcade" a few times. Woo hoo, best player for about a week! Ahem... well... until i turned my back and i was down to 8th.

Re: Is "noob" a noob's word?
i meant the "noobs" by they. if a person isnt amazing on the game cos they dont spend 24 hours a day on it, they get called a noob. I guess it started with newbs being called noobs. Then people get called noobs because they arent as good as the person calling them a noob.
what annoys me is that people are starting to use it outside of games, and calling people noobs if they prive them wrong. I have been proven wrong on something trivial, and got called a noob. Thats what really annoys me..

No offence, you sound like you're making that up a little.
Oh, and yes, it is annoying, but it's not really something to be taken offence at. Children will play eh, they'll grow out of calling people childish names like noob and you can be the grown up one (for once lol)  I've been proven wrong many times, yet if people want to call me a noob or whatever, they can, afterall they're all XXXX

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
GOOD ONE! LOL
My connection's kinda terrible these days so my TF2's kinda left to rot. Well, that and I'm terrible at it (Dying is my forte~). I'm sort of worried that when I go to the States to further my studies, the Uni might block off online games... I'd be so sad then man. Lol.
So k, what games you in to hmm? You sound like a very fun to game with person xD

Re: Is "noob" a noob's word?
noob means newbie - like a new person to the game
more experienced players call the newer players noobs like as in they have no idea how to play coz they r rubbish
