fallout

If you're a gamer and currently struggling with lockdowns and quarantine, you're actually one of the lucky ones. There are tons of people out there without hobbies or activities to keep them satisfied when they're alone with their minds. It's a great time to revisit games, and somehow, the post-apocalyptic nature of Fallout feels a bit relevant these days. So we've put together a batch of memes and tidbits devoted the role-playing games. Y'know, so you can still get your fix even when you're not going at it.

Even though this Fallout 3 moment occurred in 2008 (can you even believe that was 12 years ago??), this meme is just making the rounds on the internet. In it, the character Liberty Prime says, "Communist detected on American soil. Lethal force engaged." You can learn more about it on Know Your Meme, and check out some more gaming memes on eBaum's World!

After a weekend full of gaming it's back to our unfortunate Monday through Friday reality. Fear not, we have put together a big ol' batch of Fallout memesto tide you over until you can get back to the console and the utter madness. 

Come and get your daily dose of dank!

The Fallout games have yielded a surprising number of memes, but this new one might be our favorite. The meme is from Fallout 4, and uses a panel of the Salesman saying "I'm gonna stop you right there" and is being used for both clever posts and regrettably dumb sh*tposts. The perfect balance. Be sure to check out Know Your Meme for more of these trending memes 

Here's a lil collection for all the geeks out there!

Earlier this month we reported on the bizarre popularity of these Deathclaw memes, and they've shown no sign of slowing down. The creepy, cursed images seem to have won the hearts of netizens - inserting themselves into other popular meme formats. While we wouldn't want to run into a Deathclaw IRL, we're enjoying the друг (meaning friend, pronounced "droog") craze. Keep on creepin' on, друг.

Memes come in all shapes and sizes. We've got wholesome memes, relatable memes, dank memes and deep fried memes. And then there are memes like друг (or Apyr) that leave us kind of creeped out and scratching our heads. These друг memes largely feature an image of a Deathclaw creature from Fallout, accompanied by the text "друг," which is Russian for "friend." The images have been very popular on Reddit, particularly on r/cursedimages and r/4panelcringe. Even cursed Youtuber PewDiePie has shown the meme some love. While we're not sure what the hullabaloo is about, this is definitely proof that weird and creepy reign supreme on the interwebs. 

A pleasant distraction for the gamers.
