I can finally show this video to my dad as evidence of how "Sony" should be pronounced. He insists on saying it as "son-e" for some bizarre reason.

Is there a Thread where its Nothing but Animated GIFS?

If so can someone give me the NeoGAF link

I used the Search Function and just typed "GIFS" This Thread came up
These things just sort of happen on their own here, usually when there are big game-related announcements or controversies. Fortunately, E3 is just around the corner. The best time of the year for GIFs has almost arrived.

I think I remember a thread or two where we posted our favorite GIFs of the year. You might want to look for those.

what does memes stand for
Memes are like genes, only instead of transmitting biological information between organisms via DNA, they transmit cultural units like songs or behaviors between minds via imitation. The concept of the meme was developed by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins and first presented in his book The Selfish Gene. Memes were meant as a serious academic contribution, but took on a life of their own on the internet. Here, memes tend to have a comical flavor, often taking the form of jokes that follow specific patterns, endlessly repeated and elaborated upon in a range of mediums, from plain text to images and videos.

Know Your Meme has loads of examples.

You guys think Kaz will be at the E3 briefing this year? I don't remember seeing him last year or the one before.

I made this rather dodgy Gif for the E3 box arrivals featuring kaz at the end (excuse the poor workmanship it's my first ever full Gif.):

If there's ANY year where he would be there, it's this year. And if Sony was smart and they truly are aware of the memes, you'd figure they'd want him there just for the free publicity afterwards...

I'm glad he's got an open mind about it. It helps that he's handsome, and most of the memes are very positive ;)

Wow... I mean I knew what memes were because I see them and laugh at them every day, but I didn't know that.

That is mindblowing..
