Time to build up brick by brick, pixel by pixel. Minecraft is a global craze that years after it's heyday still maintains a strong following. If you have spent endless hours building your perfect block city, these r/minecraft pictures and clips will have you inspired and motivated to keep building.

Attention all gamers. If you're the kind of person who thinks about gaming even after a whole day spending quality time in the game world of your choice, here are some hilarious memes and jokes made especially for you. Don't forget to check out last week's memes too, we're pretty sure they'll have you rolling around in stitches.

On this day in 2006, Nintendo released the first Wii ever to gamers all over the world. The motion sensing tech may not impress many today, but anyone who had a Wii as a kid will remember how excitingly novel (and awkward) it felt to play Wii Sports with the family for the first time. Sadly, last year the Wii era came to an end after Ubisoft released the final game for the console. 

We've collected some nerdy Wii memes from over the years to commemorate the day and hope our fellow gamers enjoy them as much as wii did. 

Time to flex those finger joints and get tapping and smack-talking. r/gaming is any gamers paradise for hilarious gaming jokes that will resonate with you more than you'd expect. If you're still waiting for CyberPunk 2077 like the rest of us, check out our last collection of favorite gaming memes and jokes.

For the architect in every kid, finally they made a game where parents don't have to step on sharp pieces of plastic strewn about the floor. Minecraft as a kids game has given way to massive multi-year projects reconstructing cities to scale and pushing the boundaries of what is possible to create with some multi-colored bricks. So anyways, enjoy these Minecraft pics, videos and anything in between!

In this day and age, you'd be hard pressed to find someone on the street who has no interest at all in video games. Everyone has the potential to be a type of gamer in a sense. Sure, not everyone knows the heartbreak of a mid 2000s COD Xbox live lobby or the disappointment of almost any water level, but gaming is a thing near and dear to many of us. Here's a kid who's stepmom sold his PS4 so he rented out her house.

Never take for granted how far an Ultima Online player will go to enact their revenge. If anything, this tale should be a cautionary example to anyone that thinks about crossing someone on Ultimate Online. 

The long-awaited prequel to the Red Dead series was released a couple weeks ago to critical acclaim. Significant others and family members are not quite as enthusiastic about the release, as it has proven to be an absolutely addictive game. While many of the game's activities (such as brushing horses) may seem silly to outsiders, these memes can be appreciated by haters and lovers alike.

If you're looking to inject your year with even more drama (albeit harmless), consider exploring the insanely popular game Among Us. The murder mystery game, which is available on Steam, seems to have won the hearts of hardcore gamers and the desperately bored alike. It's not hard to see why. The simple game boasts intrigue, strategy, and a whole lot of shit talking. What more could a listless internet user want? 

For those of you who already appreciate the game and its many opportunities for comedy, we humbly present these memes. They may bring back memories of conflict and betrayal, but they're pretty damn funny.

While Chuck E. Cheese has gotten attention for filing bankruptcy and for their sneaky Pasqually's Pizza debacle, we think this Twitter thread involving the chain is far more interesting. Twitter user @Professor_Palmer took to the social media site to announce that for the past few weeks he's been conducting secret behavioral studies on unsuspecting Chuck E. Cheese game players. The experiments are rather simple, and involve adjusting the use of lights and sound in an attempt to better understand what draws people to - or away from - arcade games. The results? Human beings are really, really, easily manipulated. While this isn't the most shocking insight on our kind, seeing Cary Palmer spell it out in such a fun (and thorough) way has been incredibly informative. And very entertaining. 

If you're in the mood to feel judged, then these trending dank memes are for you. They feature video game director Masahiro Sakurai (creator of Kirby and Super Smash Bros) telling us how not to play a game. It's been used across every dank corner of the internet, and we gotta say that we're fans of it.

Growing up when Grand Theft Auto was new was one hell of a time. Many of us had to hide the game from our parents, but it was still inevitable that they'd catch you doing some unsavory stuff. We always wondered how people with very strict or very religious parents dealt with it. They made for some interesting scenes, like how this person's religious dad out-religioned some evangelists at the door.

We share a lot of general gaming meme galleries, but why not show some love for a classic? Nintendo's original The Legend of Zelda was first released in 1986, but since then there have been over twenty Zelda releases and a ton of spin-offs. It only makes sense that the internet would churn out a lot of dank memes dedicated to the game and its characters. And we've got a bunch of 'em right here for you.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about various video games that had all the promise in the world, and ended up bombing completely. Sometimes video games just flop, and the hype ends up being just that - hype.
