Also known as "newbie". A newb is someone who has recently started an activity (commonly a computer game) and doesn't quite know everything about how the game or activity works yet.
Not to be confused with noob (or "n00b") which is a person who's game mostly consists of cheats to give them the best skills and equipment, then act as though they are an expert at the activity - usually through insults or annoying language.
Newb: Hi, I'm new, please can you tell me how to find places for quests?

Noob: LOLOLOLOLOL I pwnd y0o!!!111!!1 M0ney pleEz!11!1!!!!1 Yo0 SUxX stfuu!!1!!

A newb is a particular person who is bad at gaming. It doesn't have to be on games, it can be on the internet. Remember, a newb is not the same as a noob or n00b. A newb tries to get better and tries to turn into a pro, meanwhile a noob or n00b tries to beg and plead for modship, extras, etc., they also try to play the game without any help and tries to think they're doing the right thing.
(tip: these words are not meant to be insults.)
"Newb: How do you get the c4?

Battlefield player: You must be a newb, you get it by trying to level up.
Newb: Thanks for the tip. :)"
(THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A NOOB OR N00B:)
"Noob: *shoots down an friendly helicopter* Cool! I got points! Hey admin, can I get more good guns?!
The guy in the helicopter: Hey noob! Stop killing me! I'm just trying to unlock some shit for my helicopter!"
