"Stinken NEWB TUBER!" , "Shut up Newb!", "Man the game just proced." Hey again this is MatsterChief and you may be wondering what I was just yapping about well I'm going to explain. Those random outbursts were some of a very wide range of terms and sayings that many but of course not all gamers use. Personally I have only said the NEWB TUBER a lot of other game lingo ive never really used before. What is a newb tuber you may ask, a newb tuber is generally someone who plays first person style shooting games such as Call of Duty who uses a grenade launcher to get the majority of their points. This is aggravating due to the fact that the under barrel grenade launcher in most games is overpowered and just has to land close to its target to kill someone. I don't mind if people use them every once and awhile but really when im getting killed and killed and killed by the same person using the grenade launcher it tends to grind my gears.
Game lingo is not just for gaming sessions or for hard core gamers many people who are casual gamers will often use certain game lingo in social meetings. One example of this that I use in every post is the semi-famous "THE CAKE IS A LIE!" this is a direct reference to two of my favorite games Portal and Portal 2. I wont spoil its exact meaning just it has something to do with the main story line in both games. Anyway gamers sometimes will use this as almost a secret password to find out if other people are among the gaming cult. Another famous gamer saying is "I used to be a reporter, sword fighter, etc. but then I took and arrow to the knee." this is referring to the game Skyrim where every once and while a town guard will talk to you and state that he was once and adventurer like you until he took an arrow to the knee. Weird how such a stupid sentence could become famous but it did though. It has been copied many times be referred to very often.
There are loads and loads of other game lingo and I could probably go on forever about them but I think you guys pretty much got the just of it. Until next time MatsterChief signing off.

I really found this interesting. I have a lot of gamer friends and I know some of the references and lingo from being around them. This post informed me of a few things I didn't know before.
