Hey all I've been working on some educational videos for different games, my first being Halo 4. I wanted to make a database like channel where people could go and learn the basics of "x Game" in a really fast quick and simple way. It's my first time editing and I'm not going for anything flash or exciting. The main objective is for somebody to watch it who has very little to no idea about the game, and walk away with decent valid knowledge on the game. It would be a bonus if you could show the video to let's say a brother, sister or friend in person who does not play Halo 4. See of they understand what was shown in the video. But don't go out of your way to find a person of course. But it can't hurt to call someone who may be in your household to watch a video for 5 mins. ^^; Please watch and tell me what you think. Any feedback is much appreciated. Thank you Episode 01 Episode 02 Last thing, I am making these for fun but I am taking it serious. I found myself playing games for hours on end, I just wish I could do something more worthwhile with it. I plan on finding players of greater skill to help me, with demonstrations of higher level play and tactics once I get to the later episodes on gameplay and such. If you're willing to help please let me know. I'll of course ask if you could do x,y,z and if so it would be as simple as doing it and sending me the clip in your fileshare. If you're interested I could explain more later.

On the nature of newb and noob. A rant by The Director Little bored, so thought I'd have a little bit of a rant. Today I played a game of snipers on Halo Reach, and a player with a lower rank called a player who was a forerunner (I think, don't particularly recall) a noob. The reason he did this was because said player was running around getting "pwnd" and teabagging when he got kills, as a noob does. What caught my immediate attention was that he actually specified the spelling of the word "noob". This led to a discussion on the difference in the usage of the slang, "newb" and "noob". A good chunk of players think that both words are the same, and one is intentionally misspelled to make it more "l337". However, the l337 for newb is either n3vv8 or n0ob (or n0ob or n00b). Not "noob". Since these words are slang, their definitions are "open market" which means that they have rather vague definitions to begin with, and there is not strict criteria for defining them. What a lot of players (a decent amount, at any rate) think is that both words have separate meanings. Newb: A slang term used to describe one that is new to something. Noob: A person that is not skilled or is bad at something. By these definitions, the words noob and newb become different, and can be used for a more accurate description. For instance, "Dude, this guy has been playing for 300 hours but has a .02 k/d. He's such a noob." and "You have to forgive my friend, he's never played Halo before so he's a newb". What would be incorrect by this standard, is calling an experienced person/player a "newb". However, it would still be correct to call a new person/player a "noob". Now you can have fun with them, by linking them up for even "sicker burns", such as "you are the noobest noob newb to ever play this game!" Thoughts, opinions?
