video games

There's a lot of people out there who just don't really get gaming. We get you though. It's the best way to escape from the woes of this earthly reality and into a world that you can largely control. So in honor of you, dear gamers, here are 19 memes we think you're really gonna like.

As you're probably aware by now, memers are positively freaking out about the Sonic movie redesign, and we can't really blame them. Was the whole thing a conspiracy in order to generate more publicity? We're inclined to say yes, but that's a whole other topic entirely. 

For now, please enjoy these dank memes entitled, "How Are You Not Dead?"

Dank memes and video games always just seem to go together so perfectly, so of course we were excited about this meme that stems from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, known as "Bravo Six, Going Dark."

Check out the good folks at Know Your Meme for even more prime examples!

When I was a wee lass and would complain of boredom, my mother would love to say "If you're bored then you're boring." While I don't necessarily agree with that sentiment, it is a pretty good mom-ism. And whether you're bored, or even boring, these memes will help keep you occupied until you need to find something else to do.

We love roasting people as much as the next guy, but we have got to admit it doesn't take a whole lot of wit or bravery to insult a person. It's a sacrificial self-own, in an attempt to really roast someone else, that garners our highest respect. And memers have started circulating some seriously fire examples of these sacrifices. The meme uses a Call of Duty perk, Martyrdom, and pairs it with examples of self-roasting from Reddit and beyond. The resulting memes are riotously funny, and we've put together the cream of the crop just for you. 

These Skyrim memes are perfect for our gamer friends who need their fix of a little video game humor. Skyrim is the perfect game for those interested in both fantasy and medieval history - none of it is real, obviously, but that almost makes it better! 

Want even more Skyrim material? We've got you covered.

It's been over a week since the highly anticipated release of Joker starring Joaquin Phoenix, and people are still squabbling over the controversial film. While there haven't been any violent situations at any of the film's screenings, there have been an insane amount of memes about the film. One of the most prolific Joker meme formats has been 'Joker Getting Hit By A Car,' and it's getting some hilarious updates involving Dennis from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. We've put together a gallery of some of the fresher auto accident memes to come from the film, and we hope you love 'em as much as people love to freak out about this movie.

Many of us '90s and early-2000s kids grew up playing (or watching our siblings play) Halo, so even if you yourself were never much of a gamer as a kid, you were probably immersed in the Halo culture at one point or another.

Many women involved in the gaming community have suffered at the hands of male gamers and enthusiasts. GameSpot game reviewer Kallie Plagge is just the latest woman to be assaulted by an immature prick with nothing better to do. But she took matters into her own hands and decided to fight back - by finding and snitching on him to his mother. We normally advice against snitching (you don't want to risk getting stitches) but this exchange was particularly satisfying. Plagge shared the conversation to Twitter, and pretty much everyone had a fiery roast or enthused congratulations for the writer. She deserves all props.

The Sims is a great game because it lets you live out whatever bizarre twisted fantasies you wish you could act out in real life. Weird sh*t you'd never even thought of before; it's all doable in The Sims.

A wise person once said that "Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted." As purveyors of fine memes and ridiculous shitposts, we're inclined to agree. Here are a bunch of amusing tweets and silly memes to help you in not wasting your time.

Work getting in the way of your gaming obsession? Fear not! These gaming memes are designed to scroll through while you're shirking your 9-5 duties or if you simply can't log on to your addiction of choice.  

There's definitely no shortage of Skyrim memes on the internet, but that's for good reason. These memes are absolute gold as gaming memes go. We've put together this tasty gallery for y'all so you don't have to hunt 'em down yourself.
