Thanks for stumbling across Thrifty Arse Gamer. I'm a gamer on a budget - feeling the pinch and constantly looking in the bargain bin for something worth while to play.
Here you'll find reviews, news and other odd's and sods.
An so we come to the third and final part of an unnecessarily long list of GIFs.
Hopefully you've been able to see them all and enjoyed the creativity of the internet. I also hope your computer hasn't choked and died as it tried to load all the GIFs at once.
[Fair warning, this post is full of Gif’s and I mean full of them. Like, leave this loading in another room for five minutes full of them - And possible Game of Thrones *SPOILERS*]
Welcome to part.2 of 'The 25 Best Internet reactions from E3 2013: An Essay In GIFs'.
If you followed this post from the beginning then you've come to the second half of my selection for some of, what I consider, the best internet reactions to E3 2013.
Here you'll find more of the internet's imagination captured in the much loved artistic medium of 'GIFs'.
Due to my lack of understanding of HTML I haven't been able to successfully create -show/hide- widgets that would allow me to put them all on one post, so please bare with me as there's one more to come.
I hope you've been able to see them all, and have enjoyed them so far.

E3 2013 is behind us, but it now holds the title of: ‘Most Mind Blowing and Memorable’.
In the history of E3 conferences this one’s been big – nay, huge!
Earlier this week the internet exploded into a flurry of activity as many watched Sony leisurely stride towards success, and an almost guaranteed win, following their more comprehensive unveiling of their PS4 console.
The internet reacted without a moment’s hesitation and plastered Sony’s victory lap across the web with the help of the much loved GIF and plenty of crudely edited screen caps and pictures. As ‘that day’ became history –both figuratively and literally- there have been plenty of battles between ‘console loyalists’ who have been aggressively backing the player they have invested the last 7 years of their time and money into.
Sony's E3 presentation commenced last night at 2 am GMT, and after some time into their presentation they finally did it; they revealed the PS4 console. If you missed it then here it is again:
I know it’s well past the use by date but I'm pretty sure it's safe for me to assume that after the Sony Press Conference on the 20th of February we all felt a little disappointed and for many reasons no doubt.
Thankfully Kaz Hirari, in an interview with BBC's Rory Cellan-Jones, neatly and most eloquently explains why there wasn’t a console. He also reminded me of the need to always pay attention to the language others use.
At 1:33 he says, “[…] it wasn’t actually a launch”, and that sums it up neatly. He also goes on to say, “[…] it keeps people guessing and that’s a good thing”. Oh Kaz, you troll! Hahahahaha.
You didn't at all have me jazzed like a young-un who had just been given a car key by their dad, near close to urinating with excitement, only to be lead outside to the garage and presented with a steering wheel. And as I take a few seconds to come down from what was nerve damaging enthusiasm to understanding that you’re a giant wang, you’re standing there doubled over from pain inducing fits of laughter, and wiping tears of joy from your eyes. Well those should’ve been my tears of joy, Kaz, and I hope those laughing stitches hurt. Like the passing of a gall stone hurt.
Ok so it doesn't help us feel any better about the time wasted excitedly anticipating what might be announced or shown, but it does cover their ass nicely.
‘Oh you thought we were going to reveal the hardware and then announce a launch date. Jajajajaja. Whatever for? We wanted to you talk about our product- and you are, silly!’
I'm sure there are some of you who are thinking, “Well duh! Clearly that was never going to happen.” But be honest with yourselves and just admit that you too had hoped to see the machine. You too had hoped to hear some information about potential horizons for when we might see the console.
Well indeed the last laugh is with Kaz. He has us doing his bidding and we’re talking about the PS4. By Rod-the-Pod, 13-Mar-2013
Been away recently. Up north. Manchester area. Seeing...people. It's a nice city. A pretty good thing they've got going up there. They have nicely coloured bricks. A good shade too - indeed. It's been over two weeks I wasn't able to post much with regards to news and games so this is me catching up.
Gaming -
[1-Mar-2013] Role up, role up! Tickets for the 'Eurogamer Expo 2013' went on sale today! Couldn't go last year because you were in Japan (but went to TGS) - go this year! I think I will thanks.
BREAKING NEWS! Sources suggest that Sony is aiming to have the PS4 out and in stores for Christmas this year. This insight comes from Japan's news source The Asahi Shimbun. They go on to state that the president of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc., 'will announce the launch at the PlayStation Meeting 2013 in New York on Feb. 20.' Their article goes on to explain confirmed features of the new PS4 such as 'cross-discipline use', 'touchpad controllers', 'a dedicated "share" button', yadda yadda yadda. With rumours running rampant, and largely unchecked, regarding the specs and possibilites of both the Orbis and Durango, this should be getting many enthusiasts excited. Surely with such an announcement details about the new PS4 might start emerging, closely followed by announcements for the Xbox 720, maybe? Of course it's important to take this information as mere speculation for the time being. Personally I'm not behind the hype or excitement for the new hardware. I still very much love the enduring life of the PS3, as developers push it to make even greater whirring noises. How do you feel after reading this news? There's the high possibility of a launch date on the horizon. Can we expect to see the PS4 by the end of the year? And what of Microsoft's' 'Durango' - what's your feelings on the currently elusive piece of hardware?
