No, it took 2 people to steal 8Chan’s /V idea.

For the record i’m not a 8chan fanboy.

This doesn’t look like a bunch of video game characters, it looks like a bunch of Drake.
BEST KOTAKU FAIL EVER!
Not that that’s a bad thing. 🙂
I was thinking to myself “Wow, all video game characters look the same these days”
Love the Drake.
Hate the Drake!
How could you hate the Drake?!
you guys made my day.
