Gaming can be a very calming activity. It can channel our energies into one place, make us achieve goals, and focus on one thing for however long we're playing it. It can even get us into a flow state, where we're making decisions and playing without noticing we are, letting the gameplay flow right through us. But sometimes gaming can be the opposite of calming. Have you ever played Rainbow Road in Mario Kart? It's about as soothing as being trapped in the back of a car with a wild boar. I'm speaking from experience… high school was crazy.

Games can activate our nerves to the highest degree. They can make us yell at our computer screens. They can raise our heart rates. They can make us punch holes in our television sets. But if we have memes by our side to calm us down, everything is just fine. Oh, would you look at what we have here?
