2. i used to have severe acne. then i took an arrow to the knee.
a popular internet meme which has derived from the elder scrolls v: skyrim, in which town guardsmen will often say to the player “i used to be an adventurer like you, then i took an arrow to the knee”.
the meme is often used as a response in forum posts or youtube comments, particularly to people thinking of past events in their life.

guy 1: “look at my new gamecube!”
guy 2: “yeah i used to have one of those”
guy 1: “…then i took an arrow to the knee”

or as a way of expressing the fact that skyrim is the game to be playing right now. for example:

youtube comment from 2008 – “gta iv is the best game ever! i’m gonna play it forever!”
reply to the comment from 2011 – “then i took an arrow to the knee.”
