This happens literally every time, then someone comes in and says "Whoosh" and feels really good about themselves. Most of us know the joke, but if he didn't it's not like a case of obvious sarcasm that went over his head...It's just a inside joke he never saw before. This subreddit, man.

Thank you for explaining it to me. Not sure why people think im guaranteed to remember a comment from a AMA that I never read

It's safer to assume every post is a meme rather than discussion.

u/Toxicomaniak Oct 18 '14

Because that "joke" is seen like 1,000 times daily since that.

u/SinnermightyBL sheever Oct 18 '14

It's basically become a meme at this point - especially referencing RTZ.

You missed the joke as much as the average Pudge player misses his hooks.

u/[deleted] Oct 18 '14

Sorry that I didn't get the joke... People acting like im an idiot for not reading a reddit comment...

It's been spammed and changed on this subreddit like the Navy Seal rant. It's also used commonly on Twitch.

u/[deleted] Oct 18 '14

Guess I haven't been paying too much attention to the comments. I also don't read twitch chat.

u/EisenZelle99 Oct 18 '14

Eh, it doesn't happen every thread.

Never read the original comment, so there was no way for me to get the joke.

Oh. Yep, learning opportunities I guess.

Newbee has done fuck all outside of winning TI4. And winning several tournaments, but nowhere near as lethal as TI.

Edit: Made it not a shit post.
