What's it supposed to be, though?
The 'hat' is actually a Guild Wars bandana - ironic, no? ;)

I chose red for two reasons - first, it's bright and stands out nicely in most scenes, drawing the viewer's eye to it and the NCSoft logo it bears, and second, red is the Korean symbolic colour of death.

When I first started out with these ideas, I used an icon that would be recognisable in Korean culture - Yongary (Korea's version of Godzilla). I needed something bright and visual to identify him as the agent of NCSoft, and the GW bandana seemed ideal. Later, when I was looking around for other situational vehicles to convey the MMOKiller message, the NCSoft red bandana I'd already used was the obvious carry over choice to tie all the the images into a single theme. Take the bandana, stick it on the Matrix Architect (or the Mars Attacks leader, or the Rabbit of Caerbannog as I've also done so far) then add a quote from the source material manipulated to reference NCSoft, and the theme is continued.

The key with any such gag concept is repetition - in this case, keeping a repetitive motif that's shorthand for the MMOKiller running through all the material. In other words, the bandana :)

The bandana can be used to subvert an existing meme with a visual marker...

...or it can be the concept anchor in an image that has the same pose as an existing meme ;)

These two ideas actually came to me as I was replying to your question Quinch - thanks for the inspiration! :)

I have no artistic skills, but would this idea be any good?

A bloated vulture sitting atop a corpse (optionally wearing the NCSoft Bandana).  The corpse can, at your option, be dressed up as Statesman.  Maybe have it squawking at other birds to keep them away from the body.

Listen to the 'mustn'ts'. Listen to the 'don'ts'. Listen to the 'shouldn'ts', the 'impossibles', the 'won'ts'. Listen to the 'you'll never haves', then listen close to me... Anything can happen . Anything can be.

I have no idea what that's supposed to say or mean.
Bob Dole!! Bob Dole. Bob Dole! Bob Dole. Bob Dole. Bob Dole... Bob Dole... Bob... Dole...... Bob...

It's supposed to be "Unexpected" I think.
The NCSoft logo and name also aren't readable to me on that one though.

Sorry, I should have made it bigger. The premise was NCSoft kicking a game 'whenever'.

Hmm now I think about it should have added Fire at will after the quote.

Can't go wrong with a Deathstar.  8)

Nice job :)

I reckon I should add the NCSoft bandanas to the MMOKiller Photobucket site. If memory serves, .png files should work as layers, so they can be pasted onto whatever folk want to paste them on. I'll make a Resources folder to shove them in, and also put the CoH logo and NCSoft logo there.

It occurs to me that having a highly destructive gang of vandals in the Plan Z universe that wear a red bandanna with a smudged blue logo that is not quite legible but vaguely recognizable might be appropriate.

We've already got one kick in there, let's not push our luck. :)

I've updated the Photobucket site to have a folder called Resources (with the bandanas and company logos in) and another called Community authored images where I'm putting...well, community authored images, basically :)

linkie, to save yon readers trawling back to ye olde first page...

IF NCSoft persist in maintaining their silence, what else can they expect but for some joker to caption an image like this eh? ;)

ASSUMING CONTROL !

Edit reason: changed the caption from "Ensuring destruction" to "Ensuring Downfall", rhymes more with "Assuming Control"
Yeeessss....

Nice one - I've added it to the Community folder at the MMOKiller site :)

I also knocked this one up and added it to the NCSoft the MMOKiller folder -

Remember folks - all these images are there to be used! If you think you know a forum you can put one, slap it up there. If you have Facebook or a Twitter account and want to tweet a pic, go for it - this is all about spreading the meme of the MMOKiller, so spread, SPREAD, SPREAD! ;D

Mister Bison

Couldn't fit the bandana in, so I improvised. Made with inkscape on an anime screencap (Mirai Nikki)

(link to caption-less version if you want to re-meme it)
Yeeessss....

Turjan

LOL!
Nice use of the logo :D I've put them both up on the MMOKiller site.

Keep making, downloading and spreading the meme folks!

Turjan

Added another one, for all you Monty Python fans out there :)
