We need a meme.

[Super Ready]

One way to get lots of awareness and net traffic will be to have a meme that's pretty quickly visible in the usual places. I'm thinking Memebase itself, but there are going to be plenty of other sites it could be seen.

I'm happy to create said meme, but wanted to get some opinions first on its content, in particular if there's a Titan-approved message to send. The banner alone wouldn't catch on, so to me there seems to be two routes to go, the funny or the serious. I'd prefer serious but funny would strike more of a chord with the meme crowd in general.

These two Memebase sites in particular are most appropriate:
http://memebase.cheezburger.com/superheroes
http://memebase.cheezburger.com/videogames

Getting submitted and then approved on these would be great, getting onto the Memebase front page itself even better, and I think we have the weight of numbers here to make it happen easily enough. I will of course put up a direct link when the meme's ready for voting.

Anyone know where that image of Castle with the speech bubble went?

We need someone to guide us into the light !

The figure of legend that plays all day and night atop his mountain !

The man said to punish those you do not take gaming seriously !

We need a Hero !

We need... SEGATA SANSHIRO !

I agree, but I'm not too experienced with making them.  I'd be happy to head over there and contribute something if we can come up with an idea first.

I retract my last post, I'VE GOT SOMETHING BETTER, LEAVE IT TO ME !

EDIT: removed the spoiler as the video is now out.

Oh yeah, nice one.

Sorry to keep you waiting, here's a viral video for you !

(Video taken down for maintenance. Version 2 on its way !)

(this confirmed meme even has a wikipedia page! It could be used to appeal to the greater masses of geeks and nerds.)

There's a "it's all a Nemesis plot" meme just waiting to be made out there...

There's a "it's all a Nemesis plot" meme just waiting to be made out there...

Or, in this case, "Definitely not a Nemesis plot..."

I wanted to now, how do you pronounce Rikti ? Reektee ?

I'm working on something, It'll take my best imitation, but it'll be great.

[Super Ready]

I pronounce it Rick Tee.

[eabrace]

I pronounce it Rick Tee.

In a Q&A long, long ago, we were told that the name of the Rikti was inspired by the story "Riki-tiki-tavi".  So, I believe that's the intended pronunciation.

How about "You don't have to be super to be a hero.  Save City of Heroes now!!"

[Plinkyplonk]

How about "You don't have to be super to be a hero.  Save City of Heroes now!!"

or go the opposite way and say "only heroes need apply"
