perpertual noob in some ways i want to be one but not like how u say.
U see when u master a game its less fun and exciting then when u was noob, sure u may have been called B00n or Noob but still u wouldve enjoyed it more than later on i think.
I just wish i could keep that noobness.

In all honesty I am a perpertual noob when it comes to mmorps... I try so hard to understand them but they always confuse me... I always need to use all the help files... I think thats why I liked COH so much... it so easy to use...
this makes me think of a CS video i saw years ago, this dude sucked so bad, they were playing eye of the tiger while the video was playing god i laughed my ass off, i so wish i could find that video again
The thing about newbies is that they often aren't too eager to find things out on their own, but would rather ask somebody who knows for step by step instructions for simple chores, like for example throwing a grenade longer, crafting armor or doing a double jump in some games, and then they ask again a few minutes later... ...they're fun to watch and own in Online Games but they're annoying to explain things to sometimes. I don't mind them having questions, it's just that when they have a perfectly good manual and an options menu, why do they consult us?
Personally I just pick up the controller (or put my hands on the keyboard/mouse) and learn as I go along, and only read the manuals if I have nothing better to read at night (I just finished Dude, Where's My Country
).
