video games

Completely sapped after a long Monday of pain? We've got something that will help you out. These dank memes and funny pics will re-energize you so that you can make the most of of the time that matters - the time you're not spending on the clock! 

We've already recently covered this topic, but honestly the memes have been so good that we felt like we had to bring you even more of them.

We certainly don't want to get too deep into the politics of exactly what causes gun violence in America in light of recent tragedies, but one thing seems to be certain here: both gamers and non-gamers alike on both sides of the political spectrum are coming together to reject the idea that video games are what cause it.

So here are 17 brand new, freshly baked memes that roast the (lack of) logic that video games are the violent culprit!

This dank meme was inspired by the Skyrim Skill Tree which, if you're unfamiliar with the game, is its leveling-up system that demonstrates proficiency in a specified skill. In these particular memes, the skill at hand is the "destruction" of one's enemy using the most brutal insults, which we're always here for.

You: A bored individual. Perhaps you're avoiding some responsibility, or just don't feel like doing anything productive. You've got a taste for memes, and you like 'em dumb and dank. 

This gallery: filled with memes to help you slack off until you inevitably need some more laugh-fuel. We've got more memes for that, too. 

If you likedumb memes and you have way too much time on your hands, this gallery is for you! You're in even more luck if you're a Spongebob meme aficionado. This batch is overflowing with everyone's favorite sponge!

While the nation mourns the lives lost in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, politicians and the media continue to find ways to insist that guns don't kill people, video games do. President Trump jumped on the bandwagon during his national address yesterday, condemning the "glorification of violence in our society. This includes the gruesome and grisly video games that are now commonplace." The sentiment is frankly outrageous, and has zero evidence to back it. The inevitable backlash began on Twitter, with the #VideoGamesAreNotToBlame hashtag, and quickly grew to include memers in the r/dankmemes community. As of yesterday, the informative memes (some include graphs) have been hovering at the top of the page. Here are our favorites. 

Gaming really is an effective way to escape reality, at least temporarily. Gamers are often the butt of internet jokes, but honestly we can totally understand your desire to get away from it all and dive right into a completely different world. So have at these memes, which we think our gamer audience will appreciate!

You don't need to be familiar with the game Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney to appreciate these memes. The format features a high definition screenshot of Miles Edgeworth, who appears to be saying "You are not a clown, you are the entire circus." The line is actually from a viral tweet from Twitter user @javeigh. The pairing works astonishingly well, and has quickly morphed from a Twitter joke into a full fledged meme. Here are some of our favorites.

We know you guys love these cult-y gaming memes so here you go! Whether you're a die-hard Skyrim nerd or more of a passive fan of the game, we hope you can find these memes enjoyable!
