So what is/will be Dark Souls 2's meme?

So we had the great 'Praise the Sun' line in the first Dark Souls but has anyone found any catchy line or theme in Dark Souls 2 that matches that?

Would be a shame if there wasn't one

Gavlan wheel, Gavlan deal. OK, that won't catch on, I'm just a big fan of Gavlan.

@makari: I see a lot of "Try wheel" messages near Gavlan. Always makes me smile.

I chuckled when I saw a highly rated sign with the message "horse!" in front of the Rat King.

Try rear.

Hurray for hole!

There were definitely some messages that got a chuckle out of me but none that I can recall. The game seems a little more serious in tone this time. I miss the maniacal laughing the most.

I know it's old and pre-release, but I'm still partial to "Boars will kill you".

Though yeah, the player messages are pretty good this time around.

Try two handing then rear!

I miss YOU DEFEATED and YOU REGAINED LOST SOUL. I loved that stuff so much; on PC I would mod those back to normal as soon as possible. I think forcing memes because there were some cool ones the first time around just leads to things that aren't very funny, see: twitch plays pokemon V2. People want to recreate a situation, and you just can't. Dark Souls popularity almost came out of nowhere, and the memes were a byproduct of that. That's ok though, because DS2 is fantastic. Try rear.

I wish it would! I also wish I could find him again. Saw him once, wheeled and dealed with him, but then he booked it out of there!

I think just the conjunction system in general will be the meme.

bonfire ahead, and then bonfire

try two handing, therefore chest ahead

etc etc will take off as a meme for things outside of the game. Demon's Souls ahead, and then Brad will break. Lost my phone today, therefore thanks Obama. etc etc

You'll find him again later on in a pretty obvious spot. He'll stay there from then on too. Also buy plenty of poison daggers.

ADP makes Mario run faster!

Jester Thomas

@fredchuckdave: While he is no Leeroy, he is by far the best NPC summon in this game. His pyromancy is OP.

@sterling: Don't forget how awesome that armor set is! So many buffs, it's like 8 rings at once.

@fredchuckdave: I haven't seen his armor stats. Is that the one sold by the incense dude?

SEEK-
SEEK-
LEST-
*levels up*

"Visions of [x]"

@sterling: Yup. Buffs soul income, reduces falling damage, negates critical hits, and raises item discovery.

@fredchuckdave: damn, going to go buy that right away.

You forgot

BEAR-

I saw a message in front of an NPC that said "Be wary of giant but hole". I thought it was pretty funny.

That too.

@billymagnum said:

This. Anything having to do with ADP since people are fucking clueless about it.

"Thou will understand one day." For anyone who has fought that one boss.

"Weakness: Tongue and then tight spot."

All hail the queen

All the ones with the words....tongue, rear, behind , in various orders

Always make me laugh

Be wary of meme by way of internet therefore praise the sun!

Hmmm, the message conjunctions are fun but too many, wish ether was a single defining phrase.

Well, maybe it is still early and one gems will be discovered in the coming weeks

i,m sorry i just came across this..... beware of woman, try right arm

@bisonhero: Okay, I know everyone is sick of hearing people talk about this by now.......but holy shit, I wish the final game looked like that gif does.

On topic: I'd take pretty much any meme over the stupid " -bro " crap that nearly everyone in this fanbase uses. UGH.

I'm not really sure I found any " meme-y " things in this game, though. I have seen some really funny messages come out of the new message system, though. :P

Meme's aren't created, they're discovered.

I see that all the time in front of the rock seller NPC.

With a lack of sticky white stuff and Gwynevere, the people find a way to stay classy.

I don't know, my "Here!, rear!" sign in front of her was in poor taste. It's fulfilling its intended purpose pretty well, though.

"April 25th? REALLY?" It's pretty much all I hear.

That's my favorite too. Not to be a huge buzz kill, but I think "Praise the Sun" is the perfect motto/meme already.

I think I can provide a screenshot that truly captures a special moment

@yi_orange: The one I saw last night said "Be wary of man but hole" and it was under a corpse laying face down on a wall in the Shaded Woods. I couldn't help but laugh.

too funny!

In front of one of the female NPC's was: 'Rear ahead therefore man required'

Made me laugh.

Dark Souls 1: Praise the sun!

Dark Souls 2:

HURRAH FOR SKELETON!

Is Jakarta Dangerous?

Dark Souls 2: There is no new information.

@jclane: Man fuck that boss. As a pure Tower Shield sort of player suddenly having to *shiver* roll... was quite painful. Although I might just do some Google research and try to find a 100% physical AND fire resist shield. Fuck it, I'll find a way to tank that asshole.

Like a dream....

Definitely that; like boss ahead, in short, try rear.

@humanity: I can hardly contain my anticipation for the NG+ rematch. And then down the line, when I inevitably think a SL1 Covenent of Champions no Estus run is a "good" idea, I will know true despair.
