This is a game i used to play with my cousin when we were younger. I'm not sure if we made it up but i have no memory of learning it.
Here's how it goes.

The game starts with a character. we'll use John as our example name.
the first person to comment says something bad that happens to him. example- johns car breaks down in the desert.
the next comment says something good that happens to him related to the bad thing. example- luckily john has extensive survival training.
the next comment reverts back to another bad thing that happens. example- unfortunately johns survival training was only for rain forest environment.

and it continues on going back and forth between good news and bad news.
the game doesn't really have a conclusion or ending but we always had fun with it.

The first comment gets to start the story and create the character name. Have fun :)
(try and stay on topic and not say ridiculous things like "turns out john was invincible the whole time!! herp derp derp")

Edit- please quote the news above you so the story will be easier to follow :)

Bobby's house burns down.

Bobby's cousin was willing to take him into his apartment building.

But wait, there's more. He doesn't even have to pay rent!

Bobby accidentally burns his cousin's apartment building too.

If you're referring to Bobby's old house, he then moved in with his cousin so he's fine. You and I posted at the same time so that's why I put bad news.
If you're referring to the house Bobby got from his cousin's girlfriend who is trying to kill him, then not only is that house not burned down, its free, but it has no internet or plumbing.

Didn't see the girlfriend post. Bobby has African warrior training that lets him fight off Ms. Phsycho girlfriend as soon as he wakes up.

if two people post bad news just choose one to go off of. don't waste posts explaining who posted what first :)

the girlfriend declares revenge on bobby and brings her slut whore army to beat him up.

Fortunately he's ruscued by some nice nigga named SSB and bringed to his bunker.

Bobby slices them all in half, and sells the body parts (If ya know what I'm saying :P) of 999999999999999999999999999999999 of them for enough money to by a fire-proof, solid-platinum laced titanium mansion with infinite internet and auto-plumbing!
