You're a N00b

[Darkside]

Earlier this afternoon my brother signed me up on a game called Gunbound and set me up in a game instantly, with no more instruction than "this aims, this shoots". I didn't even know how to tell who was on my team. So I tried aiming at the nearest guy, who's above me, but since I didn't understand how large the missles were, I didn't know that they'd hit the wall in front of me and explode. My very first turn, and I almost killed myself. I left while the getting was good.

 

 

That made me wonder, what incredibly n00bish things have you done?

At the New Year's party at my church, they brought in a lot of Xboxes and copies of Halo 2, and we had a big LANparty.

 

After getting killed by the fourteen year olds who play on Xbox Live all day for the umpteenth time, I started shooting at anything that moved, teammates, vehicles, whatever.

 

It was a lot more fun that way, although my team didn't like me so much anymore.

Who, their first time playing it, didn't get killed by that first Goomba in Super Mario Bros?

[Child of Flame]

I didn't...

[LoneWolf16]

I repeatedly ran into it........a lot.......until I finally figured out to jump on it and that was by accident.

 

 

First time playing F.E.A.R online, I didn't know Friendly Fire was on, saw somebody...a group of somebodies...and hit the grenade key. What I failed to realize was that they were all teammates...and were so close that I, and all three of them, went boom.

 

I was booted shortly thereafter.

 

But it was ok...next server, I owned the living hell out of everybody. ^_^

That Goomba has to be the classic example of noobism in gaming

OY, when I first stated playing WoW I was n00b incarnate. I couldnt stop asking n00b questions over general chat.

When I first signed up for these message boards, I thought I was in for a good time, meeting new internet friends and having interesting discussions.

Ah... the naivety.

Repeatedly falling into pits with spikes at the bottom in Sonic the Hedgehog.

[kirottu]

Understanding that it blocks when you press up arrow in Prince of Persia... I had played the game for two hours or so when I made that realisation.

I got to that Big Ogre guy in Resident Evil 4 without knowing you could run.

 

I couldn't quite beat him until then

[Nartwak]

Hmm. Well, I was playing a tutorial level of some Star Wars game, flying through a canyon behind a guide. I had been having a hard time of it, careening from wall to wall, and near the end of the level the oblivious tutorial guide asked my character if they had read the flight manual. Now, as she asked me this I had just lost all control of my ship; so I yelled out "Cover to cover!!" as my ship corkscrewed into a canyon wall and exploded just ahead of her.

I spent an hour trying to climb up to the ninja academy in the first area of Ninja Gaiden. :">

[metadigital]

I didn't kill the last space invader on my first game: it was travelling too fast for me. :">

Thinking a certain lesbo poster here was real.

Ok, who here went into Tetris without knowing you could rotate the shapes?

No worries

 

I'm not only the Nintendo noob president, I'm also a client.

 

 

Lets see:

 

I played Mario Kart 64 for years, with my freinds, until one day: "Power Slide? Whats a Power Slide?"

[Bokishi]

Counterstrike always makes me feel like a noob.

I don't remember noob events.
