This looks like something from r/gaming circa 2011.

Which was likely inspired by 4chan circa 2007

Im earnestly not sure which one is worse

oh i know, but id rather interpret it this way. because honestly it hurts my soul to see new invocations of memes that were dead a decade ago

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

what you don't think that nyan cat is an epic narwhal bacon reference?

Aight apparently the civil protection guy is doing the tanuk tanuk tun dance and I now approve of this as high art

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

the art style made me think that the DOTA 2 characters were from disney shows

also did the combine soldier steal the demoman's gear?

Very cool to celebrate a game distribution platform by parading several decrepit IPs that haven't been touched in a decade.

Bethesda hours, valve is up

Real “we haven’t made a new thing in 25 years but our new thing!” Energy

I don't recognize the majority of this shit, and the things I do remember are because I too was alive on the internet in the year of our lord 2005

Is that supposed to be Day Of Defeat in the lower left?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Day of Defeat doing the little girl with the house on fire in the background face, yes.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

I'm sad Wheatly get better memes

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I dont recognize shit

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I recognize most of the stuff, but I'm terminally online and a g@mer. Mind you, I don't even play Valve games, except for Left 4 Dead 1/2 back in the day, but you pick things up over time.

Explain the eye of sauron citadel to me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

In front of the Citadel is Gordon Freeman. As seen in this image he does the "For Frodo charge" there is a whole (old) meme about it. The only direct connection I can find is that Lotr Return of the King released in 2003 and Half Life 2 in 2004. I guess they choose a time relevant meme for Half Life 2.

They're putting chemicals in the enrichment centers that turn the fricken AIs gay
