Wow, four* people here?** Sweet. Let us join forces, and together, we can make this game rise again.
If you want, you can go ask MrDrNose if he likes the idea (of submitting to the channels), and we'll handle the rest.
Anyway, sometimes they are funny, but you really shouldn't be dumping memes all round in the main areas of what is supposedly a horror game. Recent studies have shown that calm/sane flippancy and informality is the #1 way to neutralise stress in any stressful environment, and since humour is able to do this to even horror and elements of torture/death, i.e. in horror comedies, coupled with the ascended power of spicy dank memes, you will completely wipe out self-respect and seriousness in any horror situation if too many memetic elements are introduced. They should really just be confined to test maps and deliberately humorous situations, and since the characters are there in them, even that's quite a stretch. That being said, if you'd like to make seriously creepy nightmare fuel (like, actually scary as opposed to spoopy) out of memes, go for it, and good luck. Even in the T-POWER test map, there is a lot of blood, but it's still a meme nonetheless. And memes are also pretty dumb, which is kind of what makes them so funny, and that's a pretty big obstacle, so you have a lot of work to do.
Memes are supposed to be a special treat, not something heavily involved in the main part of a serious medium. But in AEWVS, you've just been dishing them all out everywhere and now I think we all have diabeetus lol.
*And make that five.
**That doesn't sound like a lot out of context, but you'd be surprised.
