The Noob

Post by NabMaster »

Ahh sorry it's late! My computer crashed and I'm using my friends for this right now. This webcomic is called The Noob and (like Mystic Rev) it's about some people playing a game. The main character named Oforf' is pretty clueless to everything about an MMO, so he needs to make friends to make sure he doesn't get PK'ed or just killed by random creatures and all that other fun stuff. I'm not a fan of the artwork, or the random change between colour and no colour in the pages, but some of it's pretty funny. There's violence and some swearing as well. My favourite pages in the first 50 are this, this, and this one

What's wrong with you people?! It's Wednesday again, y'know...

Well, I started reading The Noob ages ago... and stopped shortly after because I just don't like that style of humor. I mean, the gaming humor is hilarious, that's all great, but the other side of the jokes in the comic are... meh.

But it is funny, for the most part, and the art's not bad... certainly not my favorite, but the comic is a must-read for gamers.

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

In the future please try to post a bit earlier. I mean a day or two is one thing, but a week? Anyway, I've been reading The Noob for a while and will write up a full post on it when I have a bit more time.

Sorry I didn`t post sooner, busy week. Didn`t even have time to find my fav strips. Anyway, the art is fine although not a style I`m particularily fond of. Like I said before, I`ve been reading it for a while and I love the MMO humor. Although Silver is right that some of the none MMO related jokes fall a bit flat. Overall though, I like it a lot.
