A better thing to do is when the vimp r growing (like when they're really small sized) you might wanna shoot the ground, the vimps will get scared and run like hell, thats a real challenge to practice machine gun

Got that right :?
But a good thing to do is while chasing a reaper in water, get out, shoot her then get back in helecopter, or just throw the bombs one at a time
75% chance you'll get the Reaper if he doesnt look around and relize a bomb is about to blow in her face.

A big step of not being a newbie is to not tell anyone that you are a noob. Besides the manual is there for a reason (tho Ive never used it lol)

Contrary to the belief of many, a noob/n00b and a newbie/newb are not the same thing. Newbs are those who are new to some task* and are very beginner at it, possibly a little overconfident about it, but they are willing to learn and fix their errors to move out of that stage. Noobs, on the other hand, know little and have no will to learn any more. They expect people to do the work for them and then expect to get praised about it, and make up a unique species of their own.
Noobs are often referred to as n00bs as a sign of disrespect toward them.

*In this case, GCK.

boons is noob spelled backwards, except for the s at the end. And I think nubster is supose to be a youngster and a newbie put together to form, dah, a nubster.
