Comic Series: Nooby McNoob

Recommended Posts

nooby is not looking so nooby anymore, he's learning quick =)

Yes, I've been weighing whether or not I've selected an appropriate title for the series, and while initially, yes, it was fun to see a true beginner grasp blindly through his new zombie apocalypse, I also felt that he'd have to smarten up in some aspects to allow him to explore being a "noob" in other, more sophisticated areas, like negotiations, or playing with the subtle (and not so subtle) variations in the change logs.

So, Nooby will always have a learner aspect to him. The changeover to 1.7.7 (and Standalone) will no doubt bring plenty of trial and error for our friend.

There is still so much for Nooby to discover in the mod, let alone SA, this series has the legs to keep us entertained for many, many more episodes yet =)

I want to hug Nooby so bad haha. It would be so cool if someone could made a cosplay of him in a DayZ convention someday.

Thick Bear: I'd love to see your work, as would others from the forum. Why not draw up a few panels and post them here? We could all use some fresh ideas! I found myself posting my first Nooby McNoob a month ago and already we're at episode 28. Things mature quickly when you do what you enjoy.

Hey Jeff,

I took note of your phone comic making requirements and whipped this up as a tester. I will begin a DayZ themed comic at first light hehe ---> http://huxwit.tumblr.com its called Fundays.

EXCELLENT! I really like your sense of composition, and your characters have a very unique look. Glad you're using/enjoying those drawing/comic panel apps, they really free you up to experiment with text and layout. Can't wait to see more. Jeff

Episode 30, "Bandit Base Raid"

http://db.tt/qwep6PZu

Sorry for the delay, just returned from vacation.

Dual weapons, please tell me nooby hasn't gone over to the darkside. Scriptkidies just joking.

As always great work, hope you had a nice vacation. Now back to work and produce Episode 31. ;)

Returned from New York with a NASTY sunburn (I'll never learn) - but... dual-wielded weapons would be a deliciously nice modification (and the acronym DWW sounds fun as well). I wanted this one to be just a complete butcher's shop with Nooby going in and slaughtering his way through the bandit base. The Black Widow is too alluring to kill off cheaply, so she had to get away. The use of Sniper Sam for the Humvee distraction seemed to work well as a surprise, the premise being that S.S. was dying anyway and he might as well be useful before re-spawning.

Nooby gets smarter as he continues to live in a single life-span - but upon re-spawn, he'll revert to "semi-beginner" because he's essentially new to the DayZ world and also ill equipped.

First day back at the office, so I'll be a little late in posting the next episode. But that's the fun of it, you never really know when the next one will show up. (cough cough)

Episode 32, "Getting Infected"

http://db.tt/1DQL6lo4

Note: I didn't know the guy, I'm not the guy, and I hope folks aren't put off. But the fact is, he's part of the DayZ culture.

I think Nooby will accompany "G" on some DayZ Medic Clan adventures.

Did GOOOgle perform as a competent medic in-game?

Did he trade assistance for goods/loot?

Stay tuned...

You know, my drawing style isn't that great. I mean, there's all sorts of problems with proportion, line thickness, anatomy... but I figure, what the hell... If it gets a decent story across then so be it.

I've seen stick-person comics that are really great because the story/humor/drama is great. If you want to do a comic, then I say "give it a try" - it's not like there's anything to lose.

The nice thing about these online forums is that you can have some quick feedback for your work, and it gets to a lot of eyeballs easily.
