"I used to be an adventurer like you, then i took an arrow to the knee." I have seen this everywhere the last couple of days ALL OVER You Tube. not just on Skyrim related videos everything. I'm really surprised honestly that its caught on like it has. Seen an particular variation that you thought was funny? Why do you think this happened.
The very first time I ran into an "but then i took an arrow to the knee" or some form of "FUS-RO-DAHD!" I was amused, and I did consider it funny. Then I saw a hundred more within not even 24h, and I started to doubt my fellow gamers once again.
I still believe all the nitwits going "FIRST!" should be banned, gibbeted, nailed to upside-down crosses and fed to the sharks, as they are obviously not functioning members of any worthwile part of society, but these latest meme-bangers are really just sad. Take something that is new, memorable and offers sweet potential for exploitation and ruin it by making people sick of it within the first week of it popping up.
Then again, maybe that really is what the internet is. A self-referring, always regrowing urban dictionary for those that are easily manipulated into feeling special by doing what everyone else happens to be doing.
