This looks like something from r/gaming circa 2011.

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

Which was likely inspired by 4chan circa 2007

Im earnestly not sure which one is worse

[–] booty@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

oh i know, but id rather interpret it this way. because honestly it hurts my soul to see new invocations of memes that were dead a decade ago

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

what you don't think that nyan cat is an epic narwhal bacon reference?

Aight apparently the civil protection guy is doing the tanuk tanuk tun dance and I now approve of this as high art

the art style made me think that the DOTA 2 characters were from disney shows

also did the combine soldier steal the demoman's gear?

Very cool to celebrate a game distribution platform by parading several decrepit IPs that haven't been touched in a decade.

Bethesda hours, valve is up

Real “we haven’t made a new thing in 25 years but our new thing!” Energy

I don't recognize the majority of this shit, and the things I do remember are because I too was alive on the internet in the year of our lord 2005

[–] Grownbravy@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

oh they're doing memes

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Is that supposed to be Day Of Defeat in the lower left?

[–] regul@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

Day of Defeat doing the little girl with the house on fire in the background face, yes.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

I'm sad Wheatly get better memes

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

I dont recognize shit

[–] Comp4@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I recognize most of the stuff, but I'm terminally online and a g@mer. Mind you, I don't even play Valve games, except for Left 4 Dead 1/2 back in the day, but you pick things up over time.

Explain the eye of sauron citadel to me

[–] Comp4@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

In front of the Citadel is Gordon Freeman. As seen in this image he does the "For Frodo charge" there is a whole (old) meme about it. The only direct connection I can find is that Lotr Return of the King released in 2003 and Half Life 2 in 2004. I guess they choose a time relevant meme for Half Life 2.

They're putting chemicals in the enrichment centers that turn the fricken AIs gay
