It feels surreal reading this millennial nerdy chick drivel and realising that it's not on some tumblr blog but on the biggest games publisher in existence.
the art style suggests to me that this was drawn by a woman, and if that's true, it reminds me of that one reddit girl who someone asked if she had beaten portal, and she said no but that doesn't mean she can't still like it. a 2.5 hour game. I know this is portal 2 but it's not much longer.
ok but was it really necessary to make the spy wear the dress? the nyan cat fag flag wasn't exactly subtle but could be excused plausibly, this is just straight up fruity zesty homosexual gayry on display
However the culture that emerged from TF2 skits and YTPs will forever be cemented as valve's legacy and I find it sad that it's not being acknowledged.

The artist of the page, Claire Hummel, is a notorious fujo who inserts her gayry into the TF2 comics and Valve's promotional art at every turn. She worked on HLA too I believe.
It's an inevitable result of working in modern day Seattle; you'll get absolute fruits like this who post obnoxious fujoshit on their portfolios. You'd think she'd keep it SFW but nobody is going to risk telling her to pack it in in this political climate.
I dunno why spy specifically but having a RED and BLU merc showing off that stupid dress that can be interpreted as both sets of colours depending on what type of lighting you are thinking of is not a horrible idea.

Well time to rope I guess
I have no problems with this. It's just a blog post for a anniversary sale.
If they fucking put dated memes in say L4D3, ill be fucking livid.
This is just a disposable blog post that'll be forgotten within a week
retard
The entire thing was about dated memes from the last 20 years.
Fuckin dumbass
no. just no
Oh sweet summer child
My brother in christ, there's a lot to unpack here
hey, who is actually upset about all this? zoomers? libs with no soul? consolewomen (men) who hate PC? genuinely curious
This, each year had a popular meme from that year. I think OP might be a gay who would stab his sister for (you)s
I'd say they're TOO in touch. Like, why did they put the skibidi toilet leader on the cover? He's not even from a valve game. To appeal to kiddies?
Irony aside, if this was done a year later, they WOULD have put skibidi toilet in
nah, it'll have to be longer than that. Dafuq won't stop milking it till it's skin and bones
the man gets 2.5 million views an hour when something releases.
This man unironically makes around 10,000 per short...
Check the Points shop. Look at all the fucking stickers and emojis they have their based on outdated memes.
Outdated memes are the best memes though
^What he said. This is probably the most SOULful thing I've seen from Valve in 6+ years?
The Arthur's fist one made me laugh
My favorite little tidbit about this meme and this animation is that the guy who made it went on to be a lead animator on Cuphead hahahahahaha
>the guy who made it went on to be a lead animator on Cuphead
Wait what? I thought zoomers had no talent.
the guy who made bitey of brackenwood did storyboard work on bob's burgers, and then of course psychicpebbles has a show on adult swim.
Do you mean that animation or the game?
Not when they're being used unironically by corpos.
those are user submitted
what is the meme from 2004 referencing
aragorn from rotk at the black gate
this is not a meme or iconic
lord of the rings is an integral part of the internet
It's not a meme or Iconic to you because you were just born when it was popular.
>lotr isn't iconic
hello child born after the millennium
>20 year anniversary is a list of pop culture references instead of video games
bravo gaben
How would you feel if you didn't eat dinner last night?
But I did eat dinner last night
they aren't actually, all of that shit is for normalfags
valve touched me
They're out of time
>canon mute
>slap a speech bubble on them for dumb joke
>canon mute
wrongo
chell doesn't speak out of spite, we've known this for a long time
the soldier one made me cry
you just KNOW a raging fujoshi """"""""""artist"""""""""" drew this crap and nobody told them no
Would
I'm pretty sure this is the same artist that draws the tf2 comics (makani) so you would be right about the fujo part
She just couldn't fucking help herself, could she?
>men in dresses and rainbow flags on the cover
but they're totally not coming for your kids
Gaben will take 20+ years to come for your kids and by then they're adults.
>Rainbow flags
I fucking hate gays and fags and they are absolutely coming for our kids but holy shit please fucking have a nice day zoomer.
>HE DOESN'T KNOW
It's actually over, isn't it? Ganker is actually now full of Zoomers, right?
I'm going to be honest with you, I also thought it was a rainbow flag when I first saw it.
>Nyan Cat is gay homo propaganda now
I don't want to live anymore.
>now
the fuck do you mean NOW
Retard
retard
NO U
And also u
>calls someone a zoomer
>out himself as one by not recognizing Nyan Cat
This board has gone to the shitter
Anon, why the fuck do you think I was calling him a zoomer for saying it was a rainbow flag?
I might actually be retarded, sorry Anon 🙁
how are you so dense you dont see the guy is saying its fucking nyan cat and thats why the other guy is a zoomer
Nyan Cat is an LGBT icon and trans coded.
Nyancat is just a run-of-the-mill meme. Stop trying to appropriate things you didn't make you cancerous dress-wearing mockery of nature.
Does Ganker even get HARMONY days anymore? I feel like it wouldnt go over well nowdays
Yes. We get a HARMONY thread on the anniversary.
holy rent free
At least she can draw because she sure as HELL can't write
It feels surreal reading this millennial nerdy chick drivel and realising that it's not on some tumblr blog but on the biggest games publisher in existence.
so where the fuck is the final issue of the tf2 comics , FUCKING FINISH IT VALVE
>BLOODY HELL DID YOU JUST SPEAK?!
>I THOUGHT YOU WERE BRAINDEAD?!
>BY THE WAY UH... WHAT IS "DESPACITO"? IS THAT SOME KIND OF... HUMAN CULTURE THING?
the art style suggests to me that this was drawn by a woman, and if that's true, it reminds me of that one reddit girl who someone asked if she had beaten portal, and she said no but that doesn't mean she can't still like it. a 2.5 hour game. I know this is portal 2 but it's not much longer.
yea, where is baby shark?
>NEVER GONNA FREAKING GIVE YOU UP
>NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN CHUCKLENUTS
ZAMN Caroline looks like that?
>zero mention of Alien Swarm
>even shartifact gets name dropped
At least for 1 moment, 1 person at Valve remembered that Day of Defeat was a thing.
I'M OUT OF TIME
ok but was it really necessary to make the spy wear the dress? the nyan cat fag flag wasn't exactly subtle but could be excused plausibly, this is just straight up fruity zesty homosexual gayry on display
TF2 players have been drawing spy in a dress for many years now, you're the gay
Where's the free game
Free?
CSGO is free.
wait wtf is wrong with nyan cat?
it's a psyop to convince our kids to be okay with watching trannies swing their dicks around in the middle of the street
If you can be swayed to take dick in your ass just from the sight of a rainbow, there might be something wrong with you anon
Preprogramming.
I own every game on the list pre 2020
>L4D representation is just the Witch and vergil. No Ellis telling funny stories, no tank, no coach, no nick, hardly anything
Sad.
If VALVe wanted to celebrate memes they would have posed their characters with Gmod and set all the sliders to retarded values
Now anon, TF2 freaks are not very family-friendly
However the culture that emerged from TF2 skits and YTPs will forever be cemented as valve's legacy and I find it sad that it's not being acknowledged.
And it won't be. Video games are no longer for you, goy. They now belong to the heccin wholesome gayyymers
>one of the years has a link to KnowYourMeme
>most of the tech-related "what happened in the respective year" stuff is garbage that has made the internet worse either at the time or some time after
It's unfunny and autistic reddit-tier humor with suprisingly no woke political pandering.
Which is what I expected of le based vidya company.
Spy is crossdressing, anon.
It could have been much much worse, honestly.
It's old neckbeard humour is what I wanted to say.
A lot of the stuff referenced was fairly normie-tier.
Still. A little bit of time away from here would do you some good.
>reddit-tier humor
This place as brain-rotted you.
>Ganker is so young now that it doesnt even recognize nyan cat
just burn this place
It's just retards being retarded ironically.
at this point I don't think they even know they're being ironic so it just loops all the way back around to retardation again
Reminds me of when moot wasn't a cuck. 🙁
>a cat made out of a pop tart flying through space shitting out a rainbow
I feel like this is the last time the internet was optimistic and happy.
valve just outsources chud/tumblr artists for shit like this because they don't know how to time manage their own staff
y'all have a shit sense of humor
tell us a joke then anonymous
bless us with your divine humor
why did they make spy a crossdressing fag
The artist of the page, Claire Hummel, is a notorious fujo who inserts her gayry into the TF2 comics and Valve's promotional art at every turn. She worked on HLA too I believe.
oh right, i should've guessed that from the artstyle
>go to their page
>2nd thing on illustrations portfolio is this
Great
I will say most of the other art she does looks quite good though
It's an inevitable result of working in modern day Seattle; you'll get absolute fruits like this who post obnoxious fujoshit on their portfolios. You'd think she'd keep it SFW but nobody is going to risk telling her to pack it in in this political climate.
This is completely sfw, it's literally just kind of revealing clothing.
I dunno why spy specifically but having a RED and BLU merc showing off that stupid dress that can be interpreted as both sets of colours depending on what type of lighting you are thinking of is not a horrible idea.
>meme was about how the same thing looked different depending on how you looked at it
>why did they use the character that whole shtick is changing appearance
Still for the life of me cannot fucking see the white/golden one, I just see a high brightness blue/black
same
It's a reference to that old internet topic about a dress that saw differently, some saw it as white and gold other saw it as blue and black.
god i cant wait for the porn
>go to the page for this
>scroll through 20 years worth of games
>see nothing I'm interested in that I haven't already played
Well time to rope I guess
The joke is that they're all doing dead memes that occurred over the past 20 years.
I'm sorry that you don't get it.
>Ganker is now politicizing memes and jokes
America was a mistake.
I blame the newfags that werent even born when half those memes were a thing
blame indian brownoids, they're the ones being directed by another group of people to tear down the west
>20 year anniversary reminds you of what the top selling games were each of those years
Kino.
I have no problems with this. It's just a blog post for a anniversary sale.
If they fucking put dated memes in say L4D3, ill be fucking livid.
This is just a disposable blog post that'll be forgotten within a week
