Because I don't have a copy of Photoshop, I have some Meme requests:

• A MW(O) meme involving a Llama, because it used to be the 2nd highest rated Animal of MWO in this poll until the results got reset. Perhaps use a tag line of "Your argument is invalid"
  
• A "World's Most Interesting Mech" meme in which the mech pictured is posed just like the "World's Most Interesting Guy"
  
• An "Over 9000" meme that superimposes Paul's face on top of the DBZ character's face.

If these have already been published and I missed them, my apologies - Just post/send me links to them so I can bask in their comedic glory

For those of you who would like to try simple editing, you can use a web-based Photoshop tool (which is free). It has layers and all the other things you need to edit and it runs on your browser - Pixlr.com/editor

For those who prefer a free version of Photoshop (or close to it), you can download The Gimp. It's a free program that has most of the functions of Photoshop and will be more than enough to get your meme editing needs done - The Gimp Download Page

No meme this time since I gotta get to work. I might edit later.

ok, im gonna be the dick of the thread and say that 90% of these are not really memes. a meme is intended to connect somebody to something that, in context, is inherently understandable and able to be related to. such as the picture of frye from futurama, and text that say "cant tell if fat because in wheel chair, or in wheel chair because fat" its funny because everyone can relate to having had that same thought.
the closest of any of these to a meme is the "nominal all the systems" one which is still not a true meme.

memes by definition do not contain any wording or imagery that requires knowledge of a specific scenario. in the frye example, there is nothing about the image or text that has anything to do with futurama, so, if one was living under a rock, and simply saw the image having never seen futurama, the image is still funny.

the humor of a meme comes from the humanity of it.
This is called a "Macro" because it summs up the human condition or some aspect of it in extreme brevity. The term Macro which games might know actually draws its source from the psychological condition which creates this. Your brain constantly creates macros, and macros are why standup comedians are funny when they are. the simple mention of (back to the frye example) not being able to differentiate the reason for somebody within sight range being in a wheel chair brings to the mind of the reader/viewer any number of things, such as perhaps an instance when they themselves had that problem.

which brings me back to the fact that memes are by default funny to a wide number of people (even gamer specific memes should have SOME redeeming value to onlookers of only modest gaming knowledge)

so im gonna go out on a limb here and say most of these are fail...
still, good try everyone!
(not being sarcastic)
I dont write memes because i am legitimately not a very funny person with that kind of thing. so even the relative failings of those who submitted theirs beats mine.

Aaargh, my Jimmies! Glad you watsoned him off the thread, I've rarely seen someone be as wrong as Johannisburg even on the internets. His idea of memes is exactly the polar opposite of what they actually are O_o

[BigJim]

Actually I think he's kinda right - got bored & fell asleep when he got to Macros (???), but I know that I'm not exactly meming in the proper sense, it's just more fun to stretch the definition of memes to include funny sh**.

imho of course.

Nah, while it is true that many posts on here are not image macros of classic memes, his reasons for thinking them wrong were incorrect.
