E3 2003, Nintendo needed something big to get ahead of Xbox and the PS2. The IGN team for the conference was (in the picture left to right) Matt Casamassina, Craig Harris, Chadd Chamers, Peer Schneider. At the conference Nintendo pulled out “Pacman vs.” Here is our heroes’ reaction

Disappointment
Fast forward one year. With news of a new Zelda on the horizon our heroes staged what it would look like when they see it.

Euphoria!
How this meme started was on IGN’s boards and then slowly made it’s way to 2chan where it got the name “Gaijin 4Koma” which basically means “4-panels-foreigners” then it went to 4chan then all across the web.
The meme often has four panels and usually plays out like so:
Panel one: Something fair or lame
Panel two: Disappointment
Panel three: Something awesome
Panel four: Euphoria
Example:

Occasionaly, the colours will invert for super awesomeness. Sometime things are so awesome it becomes the effect of dividing by zero.
You can read what Peer Schneider has to say about it here.
