Video games can be notoriously unhelpful—it's almost like an inside joke among video game creators who like to do a little trolling in the loading screen. Sometimes the advice is embedded in the game dialogue itself, like when Para-Medic says “when you get shot, you'll sometimes offer a gunshot wound” in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. It's not all bad and unhelpful, though. Twitter account @VGAdvisor is an excellent repository of video game wisdom and advice, mostly from older video games tha…

Welcome back, gamers . If you're here, then there's a good chance you've gained some rare free time for a well-deserved gaming session but that game you've been thinking about all week picked the exact wrong time to undergo an excruciatingly long update. Or maybe you've just finished up a 6-hour losing streak and you just don't have it in you to type “GG” in the chat again. Then again, maybe you're simply in the mood for some dank gaming memes. Whatever the reason, we've got just the selection…

It's easy to become immersed in video games - look at the success of Elden Ring and the time its devoted enthusiasts spend trying to beat the damn thing. Despite all the hours poured into them, video games are obviously not real life. And that's a good thing, too – if they were, I suspect a fair few of us would be guilty of crimes against humanity and tried in the Hague. Think of how full the prisons would be, and how stupid everyone on the street would look. Bad hair. Weirdly boob-enhancing ar…

Since Microsoft showed off a bunch of new games at the 2022 Bethesda and Xbox Showcase last week, there have been quite a few varying opinions circulating around the internet, namely about Starfield , Redfall, and Fallout 76. Bethesda boasts that players of Starfield will be able to explore a whopping 1,000 planets in its vast open space world, but many are wondering—is that really a good thing? Others are hyped over the prospect of a “ Skyrim meets Fallout in space." Either way, it'll be a whi…

2022 has been an exciting year for gamers so far— Elden Ring actually lived up to the hype. Kirby and the Forgotten Land is as adorable as it is fun. The Steam Deck proved that “ PC2 ” isn't just a meme anymore. Not to mention, the tech behind powerful gaming engines seems to be progressing faster than ever! We can't wait to see what 2023 will bring for gamers everywhere. Until then, we've rounded up some of our favorite gaming memes of the week. Enjoy.

On Sunday, Microsoft revealed plenty of exciting new game releases and updates at the 2022 Xbox and Bethesda Showcase, but the star of the show was undoubtedly Starfield— an open world sci-fi RPG that has already been dubbed by many as “ Fallout in space” and “No Man's Skyrim.” Bethesda showed off 15 minutes of Starfield gameplay, which might not have inspired the sort of hype they were hoping for. Many on Twitter, Reddit, and the comment sections of various gaming news outlets have been roasti…

Is it safe to post a picture of your house? An Instagram story of your street? Are stalkers snooping on your social media to find your exact location on a map? Well, yes and no.

It's been 28 years since gamers first virtually set foot on the medieval fantasy world of Tamriel. Bethesda hasn't released a new game since The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (unless of course, you count all the online versions) and yet the lull in Elder Scrolls lore hasn't stopped the fans from producing dank Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim content. If you need something to entertain you while you wait an eternity for the Elder Scrolls VI announcement, we've rounded up a bunch of memes to keep you s…

What's up gamers ? Back for more dank gaming memes, I see. Well you're in luck, because we've rounded up all the best gamer content of the week for anyone who needs a little break from traversing the Forgotten Land, or helping helpless noobs vanquish Malenia, Blade of Miquella. These memes are worth pressing pause for.

Hello, gamer . Welcome to HELL! *heavy metal music begins* Just kidding. You're still on Memebase dot com, don't worry. But if you've ever played any of the DOOM games for way too long, you're likely well aware that all it takes is one of Mick Gordon's screaming riffs to send you right back to Doomguy mode. If you need a break from slaying hoards of demons, we've got a bunch of dank DOOM memes to keep you satiated until the next session.

Much like the Dark Souls games, Elden Ring isn't exactly generous with its helpful hints and guidance, which adds to the overall aura of paranoia and hostility. Even when there aren't any obvious threats around, it's unwise to let your guard down at any given moment. You'll find yourself questioning whether or not it's a good idea to pick up seemingly innocuous objects, or embrace mysterious ladies offering free hugs, or open random chests along your path. While gamers new to the whole FromSoft…

We love roasting people as much as the next guy, but we have got to admit that it doesn't take a whole lot of wit or bravery to insult a person. It is a sacrificial self-own, in an attempt to really roast someone else, that garners our highest respect. It takes guts to brutalize oneself for the greater good. Since 2018, memers have started circulating some seriously fire examples of these sacrifices by using a Call of Duty perk, Martyrdom. Most of the time these meme creators pair it with examp…
