If you’ve been surfing the web at all over the past few years, you’ve probably noticed an abundance of what internet users refer to as “memes.” While the internet generation would love to claim the creation of this social media icon, the word in its current meaning has been around since the mid-1970s and memes themselves have been around since practically the dawn of man. A meme, by definition, is “an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture.” Recently, memes have been appearing as repeated images or actions shared through social media. For example, by sharing pictures of friends “planking” (lying down completely flat) in unusual places, or by adding funny tag lines to odd pictures, like those found on the website ICanHasCheezburger.com. A meme that has received a lot of attention recently is the Ridiculously Photogenic Guy. Snapped during the 2012 Cooper River Bridge Run in Charleston, South … [Read more...] about What Do You Meme?

With a week to go until Battle for Azeroth releases, players are running out of time to bone up on all of the features and zones coming with World of Warcraft’s seventh expansion. So consider this your homework for today, to read up on the naval-themed zone of Tiragarde Sound. Doesn’t sound like Alliance characters are going to have it easy here: “Any hopes for a warm reception in Tiragarde Sound will be quickly dashed upon your arrival. Wounds run deep between the Alliance and the Kul Tirans, inflicted by the tragic events that led to the death of Daelin Proudmoore. Your mission of diplomacy will begin on rough political seas, and the journey to redemption will be a long one.” Meanwhile, the recent travesty of Teldrassil’s burning has done more than rile up players to protest Sylvanas’ action — it’s created a whole new wave of memes to keep us entertained. One good one? The confirmation of a new Horde ally race, the salt elemental … [Read more...] about World of Warcraft sparks world tree memes, tours Tiragarde Sound

Over the last couple of months, there’s been a meme floating around the MMORPG subreddit. Someone will ask that the community recommend a game, and the responses will all look like “WoW/ESO/XIV/GW2” referring to the only four games that really matter according to the meme: World of Warcraft, Elder Scrolls Online, Final Fantasy XIV, and Guild Wars 2. I get why the sub would resort to this, given how many “what game should I play” threads they see every week.

So for this week’s Overthinking, I’ve asked our staff to reflect on the “big four” meme.
