I thought this was another thread about what Ubisoft is doing to people with Assassin's Creed 2 DRM =(
But by proving that I am superior to someone inferior to me, I cement my place as above him on the breeding chain. For, fertile females will be more likely to mate with me if my K/D is better than another candidate's.
And what's sad is that people who say "I pwn noobs" probably reason that way.

As others have put into footnotes, "noob" means someone who is not new to the game but actually just so unskilled that they SEEM new to it, thus the different spelling from "newbie" which refers to someone actually new and having a reason (apart from the "noob's" implied stupidity) to be bad at the game by comparison. It's very important to understand this difference in the parlance. It's all about the comparison between the one saying it and those they're playing against, and how subjectively bad those opponents seem to be. It's not about their objective skill levels.
"I pwn pros" isn't a perfect line either. To "pwn" is to completely destroy an opponent, usually in a humiliating manner (a common colloquial replacement for "pwn" is to "cream" where I'm from). If you destroy an opponent in the way "pwn" implies, they probably don't count as another pro. You could say it if you were a pro among pros (like the world or at least national champion at any game), but that would make it a very over the top phrase for anybody else to use.

nOOb:
1. Someone who is not as good as you and must be insulted for it.
2. Someone who has upset your fragile ego by being better than you, so must be insulted for it.
3. Someone who is equal to you in skill but has a different playstyle, so must be isulted for it.
I'm so glad I gave up online gaming.

Honestly that is why I packed up the headset long ago, people screaming in my ears about noobs and the owning there of really just annoyed me
I clicked on this for one reason, in my Botony class the teacher always gives us one free question on the test. On this one it was:
47) This test was more fun than...
a) pwning n00bs
b) Watching paint dry
c) Eating paint dry
d) Wrtching paint grow as grass dries.
All written exactly how they were on the test.
OT: I think it's a general insult to the people they do kill.

I have always said it isn't the number of people you shoot, it is who you shoot. After all who is contributing more to the team, the person who kills two dozen people unable to even fire a gun straight or the person who suppresses their top player half a dozen times and opens up a hole in their defence?
Personally I rather have a nice balanced game, where it is a good clean challenge that will lead to me bettering my skills. Killing those running around like chickens without their heads really isn't going to increase my skills any, even if it looks good on the score board afterwards. I just don't find a game where I can win without trying that fun. Flip side of the coin, I so badly hate games where the teams are so stacked that it feels as if I am going up against an army alone.
Those are not fun either and I play games to have fun damn it!

Your problem is that you stopped to think. People who "pwns de noobz" don't think, they lack the capacity. You either go with it, or you stop to think and realize how dumb it is.
