Banelings! Banelings! Banelings!
Sometimes I come across something that is so far out of my experience that I am fascinated. This is a video made by “Husky”, who is internet-famous for his Starcraft 2 commentary. The piece is a parody of a Justin Bieber song.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a Bieber song, nor have I played Starcraft. I’ve heard of both of these things, and poking around Husky’s back-catalogue of Youtube videos is interesting as it exposes me to a lot of expressions I’ve never heard before (rage-quit? Gibs?), but I’m not too interested in searching out the original song.
Gibs are the bits of your body that fly everywhere when you are killed – dates back to Doom/Quake when you fragged (killed) another player in such as way as to cause so much damage that the game displays the ‘blown to bits’ animation.
Rage quit is fairly self explanatory I think :)
Thanks Sam! It’s more the vocabulary that I find intriguing, like “are you still diamond?” being a question that I would have a problem answering.
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to use “gib” in a conversation. Maybe if I get a job working as paramedic.
