Noobtoob is a videogame podcast that was started by Tobin Coziahr and Yuzo Watanabe in June 2006. They were inspired to do a videogame podcast because they felt that the majority of videogame podcasts were too focused on gaming news and not focused enough on actual gaming and what it was like to play games. They also created a gaming forum of the same name. Here is a link to it: http://noobtoob.com/forum/. Here is also a link to the video show on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/tobin00. And finally here is a link to the defunct Noobtoob Wiki on the Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20080817180928/http://wiki.noobtoob.com/Main_Page. Here is a tribute to Noobtoob from Jetsetnick.
Few video game podcasts can make me cry, laugh and rejoice in the space of a single episode. Even fewer can build a following of more than 28,000 followers and a forum with more than 12,000 active members. NoobToob was all of this and more. After almost five years and 231 episodes, Tobin Coziahr and Yuzo Watanabe have decided to call it a day on their popular Website/YouTube show. Although it’s sad to see such a great production end, I can’t help but thank them for all of the stellar work that they’ve done.
I first stumbled across NoobToob during my freshman year at University. The lack of heavy scripting and mix of intelligent comedy instantly caught my attention. Here were two amateur enthusiasts from California, producing an hour long podcast that was consistently better than the content of most professional websites. The setup seemed almost too simple; the pair would sit in front of a video camera at home, drink wine and review the latest games that they’d played that week. There was no professional editing and no distinct packages or features. Just simple, honest chat.
Yet it worked. The honesty of NoobToob and the clear bond of friendship that Yuzo and Tobin have for one another captured the hearts of gamers everywhere. They were gamers, talking about games. They were one of us. In a strange way, towards the end they felt like friends I really knew. Sharing jokes, producing crude swipes at one another and messing around with hilarious skits. Each episode flew by, never once becoming tired or stale.
The end of NoobToob was abrupt, but expected. Anyone could tell that the pair were struggling to produce an episode every week. The podcast became slightly shorter and many were pre-recorded back to back. They were growing up, moving into jobs with increasing responsibilities and starting families of their own. It was never going to last forever.
The finale was brilliant. It was a great chance for Tobin and Yuzo to look back on the show and answer many of the questions that they had avoided in the past. I never would have guessed that they used to work for Microsoft, especially on voice recognition projects such as Kinect. It’s a beautiful irony that shows just how connected with the video game industry they’ve become. I wish Tobin the best of luck with OnLive (a relatively new cloud based gaming system) and Yuzo with Lab126 (a development company for Amazon’s Kindle device).
It’s been a great run and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every show. Thank you, Tobin and Yuzo.

* GoOutWithABang: The show was ending in June 2011 because Tobin was moving 2000 miles away and they refused to use Skype as they didn't enjoy using it. They decided to end he show with the two part episode 231 instead of continuing the show with Skype as they felt that the show would have been much worse because they weren't enjoying it as much as they used to when they were in the same room as each other and they could enjoy beer or wine together and they thought that the small amount of al fans they did have would drop away. They never got paid to do the show so the only reason to do it regularly didn't exist anymore.
* HumblePie: There were a few instances where they both ate humble pie and admitted they were wrong about thinking a game was going to suck. Notable examples were Deadly Creatures which they thought would be a stupid educational game like Endless Ocean but instead was an atmospheric game with an actual plot and Dead Space which they said didn't look that good when they previewed it a week before the release and the game went on to be voted as the best game of 2008 by both of them.

* A Date With Rosie Palms: Tobin would occasionally make jokes about masturbation.
* Ahead Of It's Time: The video podcast began on Youtube in January 2007. That was well before the emergence of Youtube gaming channels like Pewdiepie and the boon in popularity of the act of filming yourself talking about games and putting it on Youtube.
* Getting crap past the radar: They didn't have much in the way of scrutiny. If Pewdiepie made some of the jokes that they did, he would probably get a fair amount of controversy. Also most of their fans were teenagers aged between 14 and 19 and in 2007 they got them to print out images as a4 posters that represented both their podcast and the website. They then got them to "street team" them by sticking them up in public AND private places. If a massive Youtuber with millions of subscribers did that there would be outrage.

* Inflated ranking: In January 25 2008 they were looking for a way to increase their popularity so they focused on getting a higher rank on Digg's podcast portal. On one episode they told their fans that they were at rank 98 on the videogame podcast section and that this was unacceptable so they told them to go to the site and digg their podcast as well as other things. The result was they went from rank 98 with 31 diggs to rank 29 with 214 diggs in one week. On March 26 they were at rank 14 with 492 diggs. Quite a boost in such a short time.
* Innocent Swearing: Both Tobin and Yuzo frequently used the word Bukkake which is a term that describes a porn with multiple cumshots. One of their teenage fans called in with a story about how he taught his six year old sister the word. She was in school and when the teacher asked her a question his sister responded with "Bukkake!" The teacher was shocked that a six year old knew such a word and called in her mother. His mother banned the show from their house for a long time after that.
* Official Fan-Submitted Content: The last 15 or 20 minutes of each episode had a community section which usually featured call ins from fans and a contest where fans would submit images usually consisting of mock ups of Tobin and Yuzo and other things from the show.
* Running Gag: It became commonplace for a fan to say "Yow!" at the end of a call in.

* Too Good To Last: The show really hit its stride in mid 2008 and continued it until the shows end in June 2011.
* Unpopular Opinion: Their glowing review of Kane And Lynch 2 Dog Days would probably be disagreed with by many game critics and gamers, especially the part where they say it is the most improved sequel since Assassins Creed 2.
* Unbiased Reviews: They were incredibly unbiased reviewers since they had no advertisers and would criticize anything regardless of how hyped or well reviewed it was if they didn't like it. In episode 97 they were unapologetically critical of Metal Gear Solid 4 mostly because of the massive amount of what they felt were badly writen and voice acted cut scenes.
* Vocal Minority: They were both very vocal about their dislike of Metal Gear Solid 4, Assassins Creed 1, Scribblenauts and Resistance 1 and their love of Kane And Lynch 2, Puzzle Quest Galactrix and Tobin's love of Matt Hazzard and Dragon Quest Swords.

I first stumbled across NoobToob during my freshman year at University. The lack of heavy scripting and mix of intelligent comedy instantly caught my attention. Here were two amateur enthusiasts from California, producing an hour long podcast that was consistently better than the content of most professional websites. The setup seemed almost too simple; the pair would sit in front of a video camera at home, drink wine and review the latest games that they’d played that week. There was no professional editing and no distinct packages or features. Just simple, honest chat.
Yet it worked. The honesty of NoobToob and the clear bond of friendship that Yuzo and Tobin have for one another captured the hearts of gamers everywhere. They were gamers, talking about games. They were one of us. In a strange way, towards the end they felt like friends I really knew. Sharing jokes, producing crude swipes at one another and messing around with hilarious skits. Each episode flew by, never once becoming tired or stale.
The end of NoobToob was abrupt, but expected. Anyone could tell that the pair were struggling to produce an episode every week. The podcast became slightly shorter and many were pre-recorded back to back. They were growing up, moving into jobs with increasing responsibilities and starting families of their own. It was never going to last forever.
The finale was brilliant. It was a great chance for Tobin and Yuzo to look back on the show and answer many of the questions that they had avoided in the past. I never would have guessed that they used to work for Microsoft, especially on voice recognition projects such as Kinect. It’s a beautiful irony that shows just how connected with the video game industry they’ve become. I wish Tobin the best of luck with OnLive (a relatively new cloud based gaming system) and Yuzo with Lab126 (a development company for Amazon’s Kindle device).
It’s been a great run and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every show. Thank you, Tobin and Yuzo.
Few video game podcasts can make me cry, laugh and rejoice in the space of a single episode. Even fewer can build a following of more than 28,000 followers and a forum with more than 12,000 active members. NoobToob was all of this and more. After almost five years and 231 episodes, Tobin Coziahr and Yuzo Watanabe have decided to call it a day on their popular YouTube show. Although it’s sad to see such a great production end, I can’t help but thank them for all of the stellar work that they’ve done.
I first stumbled across NoobToob during my freshman year at University. The lack of heavy scripting and mix of intelligent comedy instantly caught my attention. Here were two amateur enthusiasts from California, producing an hour long podcast that was consistently better than the content of most professional websites. The setup seemed almost too simple; the pair would sit in front of a video camera at home, drink wine and review the latest games that they’d played that week. There was no professional editing and no distinct packages or features. Just simple, honest chat.
Yet it worked. The honesty of NoobToob and the clear bond of friendship that Yuzo and Tobin have for one another captured the hearts of gamers everywhere. They were gamers, talking about games. They were one of us. In a strange way, towards the end they felt like friends I really knew. Sharing jokes, producing crude swipes at one another and messing around with hilarious skits. Each episode flew by, never once becoming tired or stale.
