NOVEMBER 15TH APPROACHES

NOVEMBER 15TH APPROACHES

February 20th, 2013 is the day we all first learned about Sony's PlayStation 4. Since then it's been a whirlwind of press events and trade shows, but the day of reckoning is nearly upon us: the PS4 review is coming, and so are bountiful PS4 games.! As we approach the end of the pre-release era, we wanted to look back at the history of PS4 memes--from the surprising reveal to the E3 stomping to the release hype.

In this glorious Internet age, a new hip topic usually breeds cheeky meme humor throughout the Web, and the PS4 is no different. Thanks to DIYLOL, memegenerator, memecenter, memebase, quickmeme, Reddit Gaming, and more, we've gathered some of our favorite PS4 memes right here in this gallery, so let the right arrow above take you to PS4 comedy heaven.

Jason Fanelli
WHY HELLO THERE! Name's Jason, hailing from right outside Philadelphia. I've been playing the vidya games for well over 20 years, starting with the NES and making my way all the way up to the Wii U. My mother tells people that I taught myself to read at age 3 using Wheel of Fortune Family Edition on the NES. I'm the type of guy that will try anything once, but I do have a few favorite genres, fighting and RPG being at the top. I've been writing about video games since I finished my Broadcast Journalism degree at Temple University in December 2008, mostly for www.gamernode.com. Since then I've been to three E3s, two New York Comic Cons, the first ever PAX East, and many more to come (I hope). I hope everyone enjoys my stuff as much as I love producing it. Hit me up on Twitter @bigmanfanelli, I love talking games with anyone and everyone.
