About Us

Clever Noob is a company that is owned by Julian Kluk. It all started in October of 2011, when Julian combined his passion for video games, with his passion for helping other people, and sat for weeks trying to come up with a good name. It is said that a little man came in the middle of the night to deliver a message from the future, that "Clever Noob" was the name of a totalitarian power that ruled the world in the year 2050. It's said that the little man you see in the logo was designed to look like the little man that visited Julian.

But not really. Like every other creative endeavor here at CN, the name was just developed over time, at 3-in-the-morning sessions of brainstorming; truly the best time of day to make career-related decisions.

Clever Noob has gone through many transformations over time, going from being a Drupal website, to vBulletin, and now to IPB (its permanent home).

What started off as a humble hobby, has since turned into a thriving community with a huge fanbase and reputation for quality and a reliable source for unbiased views.

Our first claim to fame was in the early summer of 2012, where Julian produced the very first Indoctrination Theory Documentary for Mass Effect 3's controversial ending. Things basically took off from there, getting global attention.

We quickly grew a fanbase as Julian continued to produce new documentaries, new walkthroughs, and new features like Throwback Thursdays, Reviews, Podcasts, Interviews with big names like Mark Meer, and even starting a charity event called Gaming for Good.

While all the excitement for the documentaries was going on, Julian brought on a slew of equally-crazy individuals to help run, maintain, and produce new content for the site. They are all psychotic lovely individuals who are trying to overthrow Julian slowly simply too kind.

But Clever Noob isn't about the videos, the contests, or even the attention from famous people and companies. Clever Noob is about our community. We're truly the first community in the Gaming Industry that has valued "being nice" above all-else. You won't find your traditional gaming-forum jerks here. Why? Because we don't allow those people to stay.
We promote positivity here on the forums, not negativity.

Stop looking like a foo' with your pants on the ground, and go register!
