I wish I was Recording
Queen raid on Dam just now. Few seconds after she drops I hear “Hey man, you took all three cores. Give me two I was riding her the whole time.”
“I was riding her the whole time.”
The response from the person being issued this commandment? “I only took one”
This guy didn’t let it go. The Rider got pissed and got loud. “YO I DID ALL THE WORK! GIVE ME MY SHIT!”
Everyone formed a circle around these two gamers.
In a bizarre turn, a woman who sounded like she was 48 years old with a daughter in college and a son in detox pitched in:
“Who needs a core! Here you go bud. It doesn’t matter to me. You earned it…”
But then, some no mic caper intercepted that generosity and yanked it from under Mom’s feet. “Hey! give it back! that’s for him! Not you!” Like she’s telling an 8 year old he’s eating his sister’s fruit snacks.
Now, mom was yelling at emote only guy (okay! Thanks! Negative!) and server slam backpack guy was yelling at the strong silent core thief. And everyone was laughing awkwardly like “am I really watching a grown as man shit his pants in virtual public right now?”
Eventually, slam backpack guy goes “She drops three cores! There were none in there! I know you took them.”
Silent guy goes “Yes! Yes I did. And you’re not getting them.”
Dead silence. Mom goes “This asshole took the one I gave you. He has to give it back.”
Slam Backpack: OPENS UP EQUALIZER on Core Thief.
Core Thief: UNLOADS TORRENTE ON SLAMPACK AND KILLS HIM. Everyone’s in a circle still. We defib SLAMPACK and he opens up again.
This happened 7 times in a row. Core theif just kept ritually humiliating SLAMPACK in the center of this circle while we all watched on in total silence. Some dude was playing a guitar.
Once Core Thief tried to kill Slampack, somebody took him out and finished him.
There, of course, were the three cores.
Mom got her cores back and gave them to Slampack.
Hands down, the most gut wrenchingly awkward experience I’ve ever had in this game.
