life-noob

A life-noob (a.k.a lifenoob, lifenub, and other l33tspeak variations) is a person who cannot handle, cope with, or live in the real world. They often turn to "living on the net", and prove their worth by playing immersive games such as MMORPG's. While they often master such environments by rapidly advancing to the highest level, they're lack of understanding of society and community usually make them appear to be immature 12 year olds with no command of any language (not even l3375p34k).

While he often said it to people in real life, it was first posted on the 'net in a comical thread within the forums of the MMORPG entitled "The Matrix Online". The original poster was (me) wwWizard2k (I claim the coinage of this word, it's not here, or on a basic google search =P), who had lost his cool at the lack of community, and decided to rant off some advice to his peers with a Sunscreen parody.

"Don't congratulate or berate yourself in this game. Your choices are half chance, and in the end, we're all a bunch of life-noobs who can't go outside."
