I had died again. For the eighth time I had been murdered by a greedy neighbour. I sighed. It was time to switch servers and try it all again. Usually when you spawn on a Rust server, there are a few quiet minutes to get used to your surroundings and look around. Not on my ninth reincarnation. The very instant I popped into the world I heard a voice behind me, yelling.
“Who are you!”
It was more of a statement of rage than a question. Shocked, I turned and saw him. Silhouetted against the sky, a man stood atop a wrecked building, stretching a bow and pointing an arrow at me. His name was Blazing Bazing. He was completely naked.
Chu is probably good enough at haxxoring from school that we'll get him set up with like 9 monitors and a case of redbull and just have him montage us a super virus worm
is this swordfish
i only hack while being blown by a swedish whore
Also House of Cards and really pretty much every hacking thing ever portrayed in movies
If movies have taught me one thing it's that you have to have at LEAST six monitors to make haxxoring
Abdhy I think you're the closest, find chu a swedish whore
“Uh, hello,” I said to the naked man pointing his bow at me. “I’m just a guy.”
He lowered his bow. He dropped down to the grass, approached me and read my screen name out.
“Brendy.”
“Pleased to meet you, Mr… Blazing.”
Then, with a great amount of authority and a slight Northern English accent, Blazing Bazing straightened up and said: “Okay. You are going to help me kill some people.”

'maybe my friends are funnier than your friends' is not a graceful thing to say, or helpful
i thought var was joking when he said it? actually meaning it is pretty obnoxious
I'm being entirely serious. It is strange to me to assume that funny things your friends say are taken from elsewhere because so much of my funny communication with friends is entirely natural. People come up with shit off the top of their head or present stories in funny ways and often say "oh that was a X line" or "oh that reminded me of Y" without ruining the conversation.
The situation you guys are presenting is entirely alien to me.
we're talking about "stealing jokes" right?
if somebody tells a structured joke that sounds rehearsed, the default assumption is that they're taking it from somewhere else. if it's off the cuff, the assumption is that they came up with it.
how would you define this?
Because if someone in my group of friends, for example, came up with calling KFC "sadness buckets" and riffed 3-4 lines about it, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they came up with it themself. If they had just taken the Patton Oswalt bit and made it seem like they were riffing 3-4 lines about what we were eating in order to make themselves seem funnier, that is what I would have a problem with. It can be nigh on impossible to tell the difference because a lot of comedy is making it seem like you are being loose about what you're saying, rather than reading from a script
for sure, i'm just talking about the assumptions
if it sounds like they're repeating something, like it has a fixed conventional structure they're following, if it sounds very deliberate, that's a capital-J Joke. I assume they read it somewhere or something.
if it's natural, i would assume they're coming up with it themselves
as I said, if I know they aren't coming up with it, but they present it as though they are, it's kind of icky
i don't think it's immoral, as long as they're not monetizing it, but it's kind of scummy? like dishonestly posturing as being funnier than you are? it's a fine line though.
yeah, this is what I'm trying to get across. Obviously it's something I take a bit more seriously than other people, but i'd like to think this is the way most people feel? I dunno, I'm not exactly impartial
You personal identification with comedy makes your perspective all out of whack.

tav i liked it. i'm not sure how much depth i missed if any with the dublin stuff, never having been there.
however i can neither brook nor allow got references
I don't think the Dublin stuff is too much in-depth. Like, the college I mention is known for being kinda far away from things and we have shitty transport. I don't think there's too much else to it in that set? if I was performing outside Dublin, it'd be a lot vaguer
And I don't even watch got, i just find the image hilarious and it tends to get a laugh
edit: oh, maybe the bus bit. I just mentioned places that are known for being shitty. Knackers are what we'd call chavs.

I'm going to actually save that for Writer's Block, but suffice to say that at one point I went 'I'm gonna turn this guy into ALL the monsters' all Internet-memey and then stopped and thought, 'wait, what would that actually look like?' and before I knew it I had half a scene out of it and I'm strongly considering giving the mook a subplot.
