If you don't have any idea what the hell a Warhammer 40,000 is, I urge you to close your browser immediately and forget all about it. The following memes are not for you. On the other hand, if you're simply curious to learn about a new, super niche corner of the gaming world, I'll gladly offer up a bit of context. Warhammer 40,000 is a miniature wargame that was first released way back in 1987. Using collectable miniature models (often hand-painted by hardcore fans), players role play epic batt…

Happy Tuesday. Has life's endless rise and grind got you down in the dumps? Do you ever find yourselves craving something a little less permanent than the sweet release of death (sleeping your life away)? Well, we've some good news. There's something better out there than being unconscious or a very premature demise. No, it's not eating an entire pizza by yourself. We're talkin' bout memes . Completely giving oneself up to the dumb humor of image macros and funny tweets greatly rivals going to…

Dungeons and Dragons is one of those games I have never gotten the opportunity to play. I feel like the social space of the D&D group can be kind of exclusive and definitely more of a commitment than your average board game night. When people say that Monopoly takes up too much time, I'm sure D&D players laugh in their faces. Imagine having to develop your characters in Monopoly and keep coming back to continue playing with the same Monopoly group on different financial quests . Despite this ig…

Playing D&D online doesn't seem as fun as playing in person, but maybe there are benefits that haven't been explored yet. For example, the other day I saw a tweet about how one clever dungeon master used the constraints of telecommunication to their advantage. Whenever they had to pause for a moment to check their notes, instead of awkwardly breaking character, they would put up a “loading” sign in front of the web cam that included loading screen tips, like “All Bosses have a weakness. Find an…

It should not be a secret to any of you that we here at Memebase are kind of obsessed with JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings a nd related writings. We're also obsessed with the memes they inspire . That's why we share our favorites every week. While our decidedly stupid but also kinda clean memes are a good time, sometimes we want something a little raunchier. Sometimes we want the memes to be imbued with a little edginess, or even a little offensive humor. Being that we're discussing one of…

This week in gaming news: Konami announced its Silent Hill 2 remake with an extra spooky trailer, and a perplexing “interactive streaming series” with new titles including Silent Hill: Townfall, Silent Hill: Ascension , and Silent Hill f . EA is reportedly shutting down its servers for a bunch of really good old games, including Mirror’s Edge , NBA Jam (2010), and Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3. Square Enix's new trailer for highly anticipated game Final Fantasy XVI “Amibiton” promises giant mo…

It's that time again. The day of the week you've all been waiting for. Yes, that's right. We're back with another round of the best gaming memes on this side of the world wide web. Whether your thumbs are sore from an epic all-nighter with the lads, or you've been staring at your game library for hours trying to decide between firing up that RPG you've already completed about twenty times or finally starting one of the many random games you bought during the Steam summer sale, we've got the bes…

Cool setup bro

Every hardcore fan knows that playing Dungeons & Dragons can feel like a labor of love. Even if you manage to meet up without at least one party member cancelling at the very last minute, the experience isn't always all fun and games. You really have to stay focused, relatively organized, and keep your senses sharp so as not to miss any important clues. But even if you're the most astute D&D player there is, one bad roll can ruin everything. If your love of the game is stronger than its frustra…

Happy space week!

When I was a kid I used to sit in my basement and watch the same five movies over and over again. Pocahontas, Wild America, Independence Day, The Goonies, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy (okay, that's three movies, but I'm counting it as one). Yes we had the internet , but as far as I was concerned, watching LOTR for the hundredth time was way more appealing than sitting around for several minutes waiting for the dial-up to do its thing so that I could continue downloading "track001artist0000…

Variety is the spice of life, eh? Well, my life is bland as hell. Something like all those memes about how white people don't season their food. I do season my food , but I spend most of my time at a sterile desk in a mind-numbing open office plan, wondering when the I'll be free from this incredibly boring cyclical hell. I could quit my job, but listen. I've got cats to feed. And I couldn't do that to them. So instead of saying “F*ck you, I quit," I'm here, typing away about nothing, and suppl…

What does it mean to be a nerd ? We're certainly in a golden age of nerdiness; nerds are by no means such a prominent subject of ridicule as they were in the 80s. We've got way worse new groups like incels to take the brunt of criticism for being lame. Now, it seems like everybody wants to be a nerd, or at least everybody thinks they're a nerd. This might be partly caused by superhero movie fans thinking that liking Iron Man makes them part of a class of esoteric nerds that only the most intell…
