Memetic Mutation/Video Games

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


One is all began.

"Stop! You violated the... I AM ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL!"

Surely someone out there knows why so many video game-born memes exist. We think it's all Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty's fault. Probably.

The following games have their own pages:

As well as the following studios:

Oh my god, JC a bomb!
A bomb![74]

"My name is Gato,
I have metal joints,
Beat me up,
And earn fifteen silver points!"

Politican: President Madagascar! A man in Brazil is coughing!
President: SHUT. DOWN. EVERYTHING.

Welcome to th

Rosie: I'm a damn SHOCKtrooper.

    • Come on, there's one even better:

Jann Walker: I can go another round!

  4. ↑ Explanation The Big Bad's line before every boss fight.
  5. ↑ Explanation Back when the first details of the game were released, it appeared as if Oswald (Mickey's jealous half-brother) was going to be the villain. 4chan picked up the ball and turned Ozzie into a funky Disney mix of Liquid Snake and Alma, with him constantly dripping ink/blood. The meme is his Madness Mantra, which appears to be derived from House of Mouse.
  6. ↑ Explanation From the first major section of the game, the Forest. Finding one is usually a player's first death in the entire game.
  7. ↑ Explanation This reaction video has come to represent the level of fear you experience while playing.
  8. ↑ Explanation Whatever it is, it is not traditional fire.
  9. ↑ Explanation Is pretty much the unofficial tagline for the game. Every time the player enters a new room, they have to face a brand new horror. Or sometimes, nothing at all.
  10. ↑ Explanation The video in question is taken from three friends playing simultaneously while chatting. One of them finds a bag of Milky Ways right before something scary happens to another, making it sound as though the player was in mortal terror of said candy.
  11. ↑ Explanation Another popular gif shows a player opening a door only to be confronted with a monster emerging from the shadows. Their reaction is to simply shut the door and briskly walk back the way they came.
  12. ↑ Explanation IOSYS made a famous music video parodying the Nintendo Hard nature of the game and the "Fucking Overpowered Enemies" contained within.

  26. ↑ Explanation Also from DW3, a warning from Yuan Shao at the Battle at Hu Lao Gate. Despite being a Bonus Boss for the second story stage, Lu Bu is the most powerful character in the entire game. This has generally held up through the games' numbered iterations to the point that if you kill him in DW7, you get the achievement "Okay, you can pursue Lu Bu."
  27. ↑ Explanation From Guan Yu's death scene in 3 (again!), Guan Yu forgets a certain preposition between the words "be" and "my". Hint: it's not on, in, to, by, for, at, of, from, as...

  33. ↑ Explanation Sanger and Ratsel can perform a Combination Attack with their respective Humongous Mecha, where Sanger's Dygenguard mounts Ratsel's Aussenseiter, after it transforms into a horse.
  34. ↑ Explanation Sanger's Kiai. It's actually a common Japanese Kiai, but it stuck so much on Sanger that it's associated with him.
  35. ↑ Explanation Ibis Douglas won the 2006 RPG Saimoe Tournament and is generally considered SRW's Moe champion, so much so that aside from the phrase, threads revolving around Ibis are referred to as "love threads" on certain Imageboards.
  36. ↑ Explanation Mist is largely considered the most reviled protagonist in SRW history; thus, whenever there's a new SRW announced, expect Trolls to photoshop some screenshots to make it look like Mist is in that game, just so the fans get agitated.
  37. ↑ Explanation Developer Banpresto jokingly stated in an interview following the release of Super Robot Wars Z that a signifcant portion of the budget for the game was invested in the attack animations of the machine. With the release of the Z sequel Hakai-hen, fans indeed noticed an Animation Bump, specifically the Nu. What was once a gag by Banpresto has since escalated to fan expectations of the Nu in future games pulling off further impressive visuals than the last.
  38. ↑ Explanation In a scene where your characters' Gears are left hanging from crosses. However, you can have Team Pet ChuChu in your party at this point, who simply grows larger during Gear battles, leading to this.
  39. ↑ Explanation Catch Phrase of the captain of the Thames ship.
  40. ↑ "Bakyuun" "Bang!"] win quote, which is often mistaken for Precision F-Strike "Fuck you."
  41. ↑ Explanation This one is pretty self-explanatory. Terry Bogard's Engrish is legendary, to the point that he's become a Fountain of Memes. His Arch Enemy Geese Howard is no slouch in this department, either.
  42. ↑ Explanation An oft-quoted line of Geese.
  43. ↑ Explanation In '98, Rugal Bernstein gained a DM known as the Dead End Screamer, where he'd jump on the head of his opponent (complete with snapping their neck in the SDM version) and spin around on their sternum repeatedly, leading to the advent of "You Spin Me Right Round"-YouTube Poops. This would lead to many, many imitators, including Krauserspin, Goenitzspin, and Kyoshirospin.
  44. ↑ Explanation KOF '96 introduced players to Leopold Goenitz of the Wildly Blowing Winds, one of the cheapest bastards in SNK history (keep in mind that this is the company known for SNK Bosses). In battle, he just loves to spam a move called Yonokaze, which is a tornado which can pretty much hit anywhere on the screen due to having four varieties. The words KOKO DESU KA will be etched into your mind for all of eternity if you ever have the misfortune of fighting him.
  45. ↑ Explanation In XI, Robert Garcia, missing from the arcade version but ported over from Neo Geo Battle Coliseum to the console release, has a pretty funky stance where he grooves back and forth, leading to this Fan Nickname.
  46. ↑ Explanation One of Ralf Jones' most damaging moves is a mind-bogglingly destructive punch that leaves him very vulnerable while charging. The subsequent quote comes from the English dub of the Maximum Impact series.
  47. ↑ Explanation Kim Kaphwan is a Taekwondoka obsessed with Justice Will Prevail who will not stand for evildoers. He utters this line while either pointing and/or glaring at them, which is usually a sign that copious amounts of ass are about to kicked.
  48. ↑ Explanation One of Kim's win poses is a Twinkle Smile from his Eternally Pearly-White Teeth. Fans took this further by giving Kim his own line of toothpaste which would allow everyone the world-wide to have Kim's smile.
  49. ↑ Explanation Did we mention that Kim likes justice?
  50. ↑ Explanation The SNK Boss Sub-Boss in XI appears to be a lovely female. You'll gasp in despair when you discover that it's really an effeminate-looking dude.
  51. ↑ Explanation Iori Yagami has a very distinctive, very awesome laugh. It's a trademark of his.
  52. ↑ Explanation In XII, it turned out that Mai Shiranui, the series' resident Fetish Fuel Station Attendant, was mysteriously missing from the roster, prompting several... "impassioned fans" to threaten to boycott the game. This is the abbreviated version, by the way.
  53. ↑ Explanation When Rita hits Overlimit, she can cast spells without casting time and, at high enough overlimit, without cost. This is easily abusable.
  54. ↑ Explanation At the beginning of the game, Karol uses this line when trying to... well, kill an eggbear. Later, Yuri (and by Yuri, we mean Troy Baker) mockingly immitates him. Troy Baker + high pitched voice = meme.
  55. ↑ Explanation Senel shouts Stella's name as the latter faints from trying to stop the Nerifes Cannon. Draws similarities to Marlon Brando's screaming of the name of another Stella from the movie A Streetcar Named Desire.

  57. ↑ Explanation Asch's favorite insult. He uses it a lot.

  67. ↑ Explanation Mick learns how to market pins using outdated slang in horribly right ways.
  68. ↑ Explanation "Another Day" presents us with a considerably more upbeat Neku, whose love of Tin Pin Slammer prevents him from being the antisocial jerk he is at the beginning of the main game.
  69. ↑ Explanation And "Another Day" somehow manages to make Joshua even more suspect than before.
  70. ↑ Explanation The onamotapoeia created for the noise Pac-Man makes when it moves.
  71. ↑ Explanation An absurdly popular snowclone due to its highly exploitable nature, applied to absolutely everything. In fact, it's so exploitable that we had to close our "Pretty Cool Guy" page before it overran the Internet.
  72. ↑ Explanation A reference to the distinctive and... enthusiastic style of writing in the Interactive Fiction game You Are A Chef!
  73. ↑ Explanation A reference to how fondly remembered the game is, even over a decade later. Whenever someone mentions it on a forum, someone else is compelled to play it once again.

  75. ↑ Explanation JC's explanation for why wearing Sunglasses at Night isn't a problem for him.

  77. ↑ Explanation Jensen never wanted to be augmented. It's also a phrase that's extremely applicable to lots of things.
  78. ↑ Explanation One of Jensen's lines from a trailer. Often used to rejoice.
  79. ↑ Explanation Uboa is a monstrous character which has a small random chance of appearing when a light switch is pressed in a certain house, in one of the game's most famous creepy scenes. When he pops up, the music turns into what vaguely sounds like someone muttering "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa".

  81. ↑ Explanation Shadow misemphasizes a Precision F-Strike in a particularly narmful way.
  82. ↑ Explanation Knuckles has a history of battling Sonic because Eggman told him he was up to no good. At least three times.

  97. ↑ Explanation Some odd synths in Sonic the Hedgehog 4.
  98. ↑ Explanation Axel's sudden Catch Phrase in Kingdom Hearts II. Initially translated as "commit it to memory" in the original Chain of Memories, it's featured at least once in every game he appeared in, including the remake of Chain of Memories.
  99. ↑ Explanation Kingdom Hearts 1 did not allow you to skip cutscenes. You have to watch a cutscene every time you die if you die at a boss. Many people died several times during the Maleficent fight. Nuff' said.
  100. ↑ Explanation Xigbar's catchphrase that shows up in Kingdom Hearts II and 358/2 Days.
  101. ↑ Explanation Seifer's least effective insult ever?

  107. ↑ Explanation Inspired by the prevalence of the "DARKNESS" meme, one YouTube video showed Ansem ordering a fast food he made up and refusing to accept that it didn't exist. It... seems to have been pulled.

  109. ↑ Explanation Phil's piece of advice for Sora while fighting the Hydra in Kingdom Hearts II, repeated often.
  110. ↑ Explanation The last level of Kingdom Hearts II is called "The World That Never Was". Individual rooms have names like "Altar of Nothing". Before then you had (mostly) cheerful Disney worlds, and then you get this.
  111. ↑ Explanation Due to being the series' patron saint of Unstoppable Rage and a prime candidate for the Red Lantern Corps, it's assumed that "Rage Awakened", the theme of the Lingering Sentiment/Lingering Will, will play whenever he goes on the warpath. Which is always.
  112. ↑ Explanation At one point in 358 Days Over 2, Roxas and Xion are together on a mission and Roxas finds himself without a Keyblade. He picks up the first thing he sees to use as a weapon. Xion lampshades the ridiculousness with that line.

  114. ↑ Explanation Said while standing next to a clock with the word "RAPE" replacing the numbers.

  119. ↑ Explanation The famous words spoken by the Mael-Num to the newly-genocidal Black Ur-Quan just as they were embarking on their "Eternal Doctrine" (read: genocide). The words piqued their conscience just long enough for their slightly-less genocidal brothers to stop them (though actually this is ancient history by the time the player gets involved). Y'see, the green Ur-Quan weren't that much better than the black Ur-Quan. Now used as a gamer's in-joke to call out any idea for being too outrageous for consideration.
  120. ↑ Explanation Orz speech is very entertaining to both write and read.
  121. ↑ Explanation: the Neo-Dnyarri is laughably bad at Most Definitely Not a Villain act because it relies on mind control, but while jammed, it has just enough of opening to steer the conversation away from whatever subjects it deems inconvenient.
  122. ↑ Explanation The guards of major settlements tend to say "I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee." quite a lot. This has been exploited.
  123. ↑ Explanation A shout used to push down just about anything with one's voice. Literally means "force balance push". Often used in videos that show someone or something getting knocked over. For example, this video.
  124. ↑ Explanation The master-level shock spell in the destruction tree, Lightning Storm, looks like an electrical variant on the (semi) trope-naming Kamehameha from Dragon Ball.

  126. ↑ explanation From the intro to Kirby's Epic Yarn when Kirby first arrives in Patch Land.
  127. ↑ Explanation From the theme song to "Midnight Cowboys".

  129. ↑ Explanation Popular Mondegreen of one of Raiden's gibberish lines.
  130. ↑ Explanation Refers to an Urban Legend of Zelda about being able to make Shang Tsung transform into Kano in Mortal Kombat 2. The message comes from a counter in the Arcade's test mode reporting the number of Kano morphs. The phrse itself was one of two captions that appeared in Nightwolf's Friendship in Mortal Kombat 3 where he turned into Raiden, an MK 2 cabinet dropped down beside him and this caption or the other "NO BUT I KNOW HOW TO DO A RAIDEN TRANSFORMATION" would appear.
  131. ↑ Explanation Swordfights in Monkey Island games are handled through witty repartee. By the way, did you know that the above exchange was penned by Orson Scott Card?
  132. ↑ Explanation The break sections between circuits in Punch-Out!! show Little Mac training by jogging behind his black trainer Doc as he rides a bike. Memetic Mutation changed the context of the image.
  133. ↑ Explanation Memetic Mutation based on Super Macho Man's "RELEASE THE BEAST!" technique being dodged, interrupting the voice clip with another of his Surfer Dude lines.
  134. ↑ Explanation The message brought up when Giygas attacks, adding to the Mind Screw of the fight.

  141. ↑ Explanation Any situation can be solved by Fording it.
  142. ↑ Explanation From Something Awful's Oregon Trail II Let's Play.
  143. ↑ Explanation One of the most common ways to die.
  144. ↑ Explanation An epitaph found on a tombstone in a popular ROM for the Apple II version of Oregon Trail. Most likely a reference to the old "What do you want on your Tombstone?" ads for Tombstone frozen pizza.

  146. ↑ Explanation A Loading Screen message that's become a franchise-wide Running Gag.
  147. ↑ Explanation Societies is the least-favorite game in the franchise.
  148. ↑ Explanation The imp from the first level of House of the Dead 2 taunted you with this line, but his squeaky and high-pitched voice made it instant Narm, turning it from a threat into a question. It's a hilarious way of sending up the games' laughably terrible voice acting.
  149. ↑ Explanation When it was announced that the game would be delayed after finally getting a solid, firm release date, the fans immediatlely jumped on this, resulting in the aformentioned Incredibly Lame Pun.
  150. ↑ Explanation Both lines are from Andrew Ryan's opening speech.
  151. ↑ Explanation The fourth game features one of the hammiest parodies of Shakespeare ever. Yes, it happens in game, it is absolutely uncalled for, but it is absolutely hilarious.

  153. ↑ Explanation A very tender and sorrowful moment at the end of the first game is kinda... ruined when Dante's VA delivers the aforementioned line.
  154. ↑ Explanation If you haven't noticed by now, the series runs on Rule of Cool. This fanart lampshades this by having Dante defy physics... to deliver a spiteful message to his brother Vergil. There's also a DmC: Devil May Cry variant [dead link] in which Dante does the same thing to Not!Dante from the Darker and Edgier Prequelboot.
  155. ↑ Explanation A game infamous for all darkness, all the time.
  156. ↑ Explanation The voice acting in Dawn of War's Soulstorm expansion spawned several memes. This one even infiltrated the original tabletop game, with Space Marines and The Emperor constantly referred to as Spess Mehreen and The Emprah respectively.
  157. ↑ Explanation More Soulstorm goodness. Though less popular, Metahl Bawx is sometimes used to describe the Rhino transport. Now an Ascended Meme, as the Orks in Dawn Of War 2 periodically refer to enemy vehicles as 'metal boxes!'
  158. ↑ Explanation The laughable voices of the Chaos Cultists (not exclusive to Soulstorm, though) are popular for similar reasons.
  159. ↑ Explanation Bale yells this after Sindri betrays him. Popular with YouTube Poop.

  162. ↑ Explanation Soulstorm again, this time a General who claimed to have 100 Baneblades at his disposal, which is absurd bordering on impossible, but loses them at the beginning of his stronghold mission. Despite this setback, he canonically goes on to win the Kaurava campaign.
  163. ↑ Explanation Cyrus says this after his comrades pester him to explain what happened on Kaurava. Even the creators hated Soulstorm.

  171. ↑ Explanation From the "Lungfishopolis" level, which casts your google-wearing protagonist as a 50-foot-tall monster rampaging across a peaceful city.
  172. ↑ Explanation During the Goggalor level, as you trek across Lungfishopolis destroying the harmless citizens who come to welcome you with their tanks, you will hear the cries of distressed civillians. A few of those revolve around Goggalor attacking the orphanage...and are uttered with much Narm. Luckily, it turns out to be the puppy orphanage in the end.
  173. ↑ Explanation One of the lines spoken by the G-Men interrogators in the cutscene that follows if they capture you.

  176. ↑ Explanation Comes from how a number of Pirate bases seem to have an abnormally convenient amount of tubes just perfect for Samus to Morph Ball inside of but the Pirates are unable to make use of. Spawned from a comic in which a Pirate Architect questions his cohort on why they would need to keep placing tubes in their bases. His buddy replies with the meme inquestion, red eyes aglow. Eventually the architect also ends up brainwashed.
  177. ↑ Explanation Early line from Anthony Higgs, first heard in the E3 trailer for the game, despite the fact that no one had ever seen him before.

  182. ↑ Explanation Metroid Prime 3: Corruption's CO is more of a Memetic Badass than Adam.

  184. ↑ Explanation A Phazon-corrupted Ghor proclaims the same fate for everything else in Corruption.
  185. ↑ Explanation Famous code that removes Samus's armor. One of many such as the Narpas Sword, but this one is the most remembered.

  187. ↑ Explanation The biggest success of Slowbeef's Let's Play of the Metroid Prime trilogy was the Alternative Character Interpretation of Ridley as a put-upon henchman with a screechy New Jersey accent. The above is his Catch Phrase. He is also known for falling for long periods of time and fits of claw-waving freakoutery.
  188. ↑ Explanation The first spoken lines of the original Fallout, and Arc Words for the entire series.
  189. ↑ Explanation Fallout is a game that lives and breathes on salvaging random crap from the wasteland.

The sheer amount of goodies to be found and sold means this is going to happen A LOT.
  190. ↑ Explanation If you try to grab the sword in the Zelda-inspired room, it kills you, just like everything else.
  191. ↑ Explanation A popular Good Bad Translation. Just like "You spoony bard!", Atlus kept this line in for the PSP remake/retranslation.

  194. ↑ Explanation The Ear Worm battle theme.
