The 23-year-old tried out the new game Cube World with fellow streamer SwaggerSouls, a game the two had been looking forward to for a long time. The Minecraft-styled adventure had been in development since 2013. In it, players take control of a character in one of several classes such as mage or warrior and are dropped into the world to go on quests and explore. While the stream was going well, Fitz didn\u2019t know how to open the command console. One cold-blooded viewer kept spamming instructions to help the popular entertainer out. \u201cOpen up the command console with Alt F2. If that doesn\u2019t work, try Alt F3. If that doesn\u2019t work, Alt F4,\u201d Fitz said as he performed the instructions, unaware that pressing alt and F4 will close the window. When the game closed Fitz\u2019s face told the whole story. He knew he\u2019d been had and after a brief moment of silence where he could hardly believe his own misfortune, the streamer shouted \u201cI\u2019m fucking so dumb!\u201d Telling someone to press alt and F4 is one of the oldest tricks in the book when it comes to online gaming. The website Know Your Meme defines the Alt + F4 as \u201ca bait and switch trolling technique used against users who lack knowledge of operating system shortcuts and features.\u201d Of course, Alt + F4 really is the Windows shortcut to close the active program. This meme is so ubiquitous that some gaming keyboards actually have the function to disable the shortcut. \u201cAre you fucking kidding me?\u201d Swagger laughed while Fitz kept repeating \u2018I\u2019m so dumb\u2019. \u201cAre you autistic? Did you really just Alt F4?\u201d The Alt-F4 trick is widely recognized and certainly something that a streamer as experienced as Fitz shouldn\u2019t have fallen for. \u201cYou wanted to take an edible before this stream,\u201d Swagger went on, suggesting that Fitz made such a brutal error without even being high. \u201cI might as well have, dude,\u201d Fitz sulked. \u201cI can\u2019t believe I just fell for that,\u201d he went on. \u201cIt was like the fifth time he spammed it. I was like alright Bill listen I\u2019m gonna try. Oh my God. This it it bro. This is the end of my career.\u201d With Twitchcon coming up on September 27 there\u2019s no doubt the streamer will have some explaining to do when questioned by fans and other broadcasters about this epic fail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SwaggerSouls mocks Fitz for falling for \u2018career-ending\u2019 Alt F4 troll Twitter\/SwaggerSouls and Twitch\/FitzMinecraft streamer Fitz fell for what may be the oldest trick in the book during a September 23 Twitch broadcast of Cube World.
