The Noob (Webcomic)	comment	The Noob is yet another gaming Webcomic, which sets itself apart from most others by focusing almost entirely on parodying MMORPGs. The story originally revolves around Ohforf'Sake, the Player Character of an Everyman gamer who wanders aimlessly and cluelessly around the world of Clichequest, a brutally stereotypical fantasy MMORPG and gets into and barely survives (or not) all kinds of shenanigans.As the comic has gone on, the focus has shifted from Ohforf himself to various other characters in the game world, including the Outcasts (a band of Player Killers/Heroic Comedic Sociopaths whose storyline included a pastiche of The Warriors), another, smarter, female newbie called Hypatia, Sir Bob the veteran player, the hapless members of a roleplaying guild, and the game developers themselves. The comic spends much of its time mocking MMORPG tropes and the absurdities of the genre, along with the players and developers of such games, but with far too much insight to be truly malicious.Author Gianna Masetti announced that the comic would be on indefinite hiatus while she dealt with some real life issues back in September 2015.

The Noob (Webcomic) / int_1282bf4f	comment	No Celebrities Were Harmed: page 350 is dedicated to "Ted Citron of Eugamer" playing Clichequest for a review. note This is a thinly-veiled reference to the controversy sparked by Ed Zitron of Eurogamer scoring Darkfall Online 2/10. One panel specifically parodies the real developer's argument that reviewer didn't play the game long enough. Darkfall Online's official servers were closed in 2012.

The Noob (Webcomic) / int_376d98d8	comment	"Stop Having Fun" Guy: (In-Universe). Al, one of the developers, is also a PvPer who despises all non-PVP content and constantly fights with the other developers when forced to work on "carebear content". He later gets his revenge. The PKers too, to an extent. Fred and Dakilla explain to Oforf once that PKing keeps other players sharp and if they're not good enough to survive then they don't deserve to - and then ramble off a bunch of glitches and exploits they use in combat. Darkblade steps into this role when Sir Bob returns, threatening to call a GM on him just because he's killing trolls from a vantage point, while other people who are playing, as Darkblade puts it, "the way that it was meant to be played", are ganged upon and brutalized by the trolls. Even after getting killed he maintains the attitude.

The Anti-PKs are generally this too, especially the roleplayers, who nine times out of ten get so immersed that they forget what they are really supposed to be doing.

The Noob (Webcomic) / int_7f15b05c	comment	Rainbow Pimp Gear: Lampshaded of course, but Sir Bob's outfit actually wouldn't look out of place as a medieval noble. A later bit character (a raid leader) is wearing so many shoulder pads, one on top of another, that his guildmates require a ladder to help him put a new pair on.

Ohforf got his name because the guy playing him got frustrated after being unable to find a new version of Aragorn, then trying a few other characters, getting frustrated, and shouting "Oh for f's sake!"

This is based on what actually happened when EverQuest introduced an alignment-based PvP server - Evil was far more popular than Neutral, and Neutral was far more popular than Good.

The Noob (Webcomic) / int_a70223	comment	Karma Houdini: Unsuprisingly, the PKing pros kill almost everyone without repercussions. Interestingly enough, the devs included Limb-Loss (a parody of Stat-Loss as was used in a real game) for PKers when they were killed as a form of karmic retribution. This is the reason Fred the Dread has a hooked hand. And Drakoola had killed so many players before dying himself, he is literally only a nose by this point. The one time it looked like the PKers were going to get their comeuppance at the hands of the SDLGDEDDLs (they were outnumbered 5 to 1, and one SDLGDEDDL had a perma-kill hack), they were saved by CLICHEQUEST.EXE ERROR: SERVER CONNECTION LOST

The Noob (Webcomic) / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
The Noob (Webcomic) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Directly to City of Heroes at one early point. Not to mention that in many ways Clichequest seems to share a little too much in common with Ultima Online and EverQuest to be a coincidence. Given the name of Clichequest, it's not exactly likely to be a coincidence... The Noob shouts out to Everquest repeatedly. Over and over again. From the gag about the elven population dwindling because the newbies walk out of the treetop city and fall to their deaths (city of Kelethin), or when the new expansion was marketed by including a 3D bustline on the package (Firiona Vie), to the author acknowledging that one of the strips was based on an experience of "camping" a monster for 17 days... The lead developer is known in-game as Lord Saxon—a shout out to Lord British of Ultima fame. Allusions to movies are pretty frequent as well - there have been references to, at least, Blade Runnernote Sir Bob's "I've seen things you newbies wouldn't believe..." speech, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kidnote Your Name Here and D34dly facing the horde of PK:ers,Doctor Strangelovenote "a miniature combination goblin phrase book and bible", Fantasianote the duped brooms, Forbidden Planetnote the id-monster, The Graduatenote Cyborella's attempted seduction of Ohforf, The Warriorsnote the PK guilds chasing the Outcasts, Fatal Attractionnote Fred's spurned lover Bethany boiling his headdress, Return of the Jedinote One of the GMs stopping Lord Saxon's rampage while he's trying to kill a caster who was the GM's apprentice, much in the same way Darth Vader kills the Emperor while he's killing Luke and probably some others too. Dwarf Fortress: seen on a dev's computer And the cofounder as well. Dorfsville is emblazoned with the "Hammers" logo from Pink Floyd's The Wall.
