With about ten seconds of searching, I found three links to the office war video. Try using the search engine. It's your friend.

I sort of wish there was a way to ban members that found Nerfhaven through uin13's videos.

Coincidentally, i discovered nerf through my little brother, AKA the UBERGOOBER.

And through the use of bad grammar? Please man, capitalize.

Can someone tell me when the term "goober" popped up?

[1337]

Sorry about not capitalizing, it's a mix of typing on my itouch and being used to microsoft word doing it for me.
Goober is a term meaning someone who is attracted to NH by Ice's videos on youtube.

What I find funny is that there seems to be a standard rant that is unleashed on Goobers. Ice basically recited that rant, several times.

I was actually introduced to NerfHaven through searching "Nerf modification" on google.

The first time I remember it popping up was from Vacc at PaWar1. It wasn't coined to mean Uin13 viewers, just general newer players who would worry more about having an ultimate gun versus actually playing/nerfing.

It may have came up earlier, but this is as far as I remember.

I've never understood that. How can people claim to have this ultimate gun?

Sorry, I opened this up for philosophical discussion

I remember we were talking about crossbows, and we brought up the point an Angel Breech LS can have the same ranges and better ROF. Many newer players splurge hundred of dollars on Crossbows, though an LS can be equal to or better. Maybe it's because they think that since all the famous nerfers use Crossbows, if they use one, it'll heighten their skill.

[atomatron]

The crossbow is a status symbol, they believe it's the best because the famous nerfers have them...Either that or they assume that the most expensive blaster is also the best.

It's hard to say though, the mind of a goober is not commonly studied.

.......Wow, this thread has moved from Youtube videos to gooberology.

The Crossbow is no longer a status symbol due to the fact that they are owned by so many Goobers, myself included. I don't see myself as a great, holy angelic crusader of Nerf. I was the same way when i joined NH. I saw Vacc, and Groove, and OMC all using Xbows. The "badasses" of the site. It's just that I decided I wouldn't be one of the Goobs who blow $150+ on a blaster. I still got a Crossbow, just in a much more economical fashion.

I never really thought that owning a crossbow would make me great or anything. I own one, Im still not great. This is to any goober out there: I was not a good shot, I have a crossbow, I still pretty much suck. Crossbows really don't do a whole lot. I got my 2 xbows (only one of which I still have) because incredible deals came up. I did not pay more than 50$ for either bow. If one comes up for cheap, by all means, go and buy it, but do not shell out 300$ for one. Crossbows do not make you cool. Look at mulletman###. He is probably one of the most disliked members here, and he owns 3 if not 4 crossbows. It does not make you badass as gears pointed out. Paying 150$+ for a piece of plastic just makes you look stupid.

Ice: You should maybe put a video on saying that crossbows ARE NOT worth 300$. Maybe that would stop 12 year old goobers gobbling them all up, and making it so that a comitted nerfer cannot get his hands on one

Gears: I love your sig. Funny thing is, that actually happened at Massacre2.

[John Q]

I will be frank, that office war video is what got me into Nerf in the first place...

[one shot one kill]

I got into nerf when i was seven. I didn't find the Haven until 2007, I never thought of joining until last year. I use the Haven to find out whats new and what can i trade.

[Groove]

Now that we've sufficiently derailed this thread by discussing the deep, philosophical points of owning a Crossbow, what it means to be a "goober" and how you found Nerf, I'm going to close it. Move along.
