Hi all, we've all encountered n00bs while playing online, some of the times we're the n00bs ourselves.

Nothing wrong with that, it's better than being a Scrub, everyone starts off as a n00b.

So what are your thoughts on playing with n00bs or being a n00b yourself?

Dota - I encounter many in pub games, if they are on your team, I usually try to get them to do the right things, build morale and encourage teamwork. If they are on the other side, I try not to kill them so much, sometimes leaving them with a chance to escape.

Scrubs on the other hand are n00bs who say everyone sucks and leaves halfway through the game.

Street Fighter 4 - I'm a n00b here myself, what I can't understand is why someone who can do 10 hit combos go 20 rounds with someone with a controller and can't even pull off an Ultra at will.

Don't you want to challenge someone your level or better than you?

Though I usually figure out their tricks within 10 rounds and beat the crap out of them, muhahaha.

a n00b is a person who just fucks around with the game, they lack respect. a newbie on the other hand, is just new to the game.

No that is a "n00b"."N00b" is a gamer that sucks in a game and won´t admit it.When you say "n00b" you are actually thinking of newbie.Learn to internetz.

"N00b" or not, I never go easy on people or expect people to do that for me. Going easy is a sign that you don't think much of your opponent's capabilities.

scrubs in SF4 always brought a smile to my face.

Nothing like getting hate messages on Xbox Live after a beat-down.

Stop typing 'n00b'. It's noob. Anyway, noobs are fine. Scrubs though I hate and think they should not be allowed near any type of game.

I think you're confusing n00bs with newbs.
When you first play and are generally bad at a game, you are a newb.
When you play, are generally bad at a game, and refuse to admit your short-comings while insulting others, you are a n00b.
I tolerate newbs. I don't necessarily go easy on them, but I tolerate them. Everyone's new at some point.
I despise n00bs. I attempt to cut down n00bs wherever they appear. Or at least avoid their annoying banter and shrieky voices.

There is a difference between "newb" and "n00b". Newb(ie)s are completely okay to play with and educate about the game. "n00b" is a degoratory term used by "ub3r-1337-pr0-gamerz" to insult someone who does not know all the intricacies/exploits or those who just have a bad day.

Easy. If they're being n00bs, get on that headset mic or teamspeak or whatever and tell them to "act like bloody professionals." (quoting Mr. Pink here). Else, drop them like a hot potato.

What is with certain gamers and thier wierd complex with other peoples' mothers?

Did none of you get enough attention from your own mummies?

Or have you just watched too much 'mature' porn?

Ok this is going off topic on semantics now.

Newbie - New to the game
n00b - Newbie that sucks and blames everyone else for it
Scrubs - Newbies that suck, don't want to improve and blames the game for it.
