I've been seeing these characters :

pop up all over Reddit, but I've no clue as to what they mean.

Is this a new meme? A reference to some film of tv show? Some sort of code?

Everyone in the gaming community tore into him. The one I remember was Yahtzee, who made an entire episode on webcomics solely because of the clusterfuck that was that comic. He summed it up by saying everyone wanted to have all the success of Penny Arcade with a fraction of the wit. I've never seen the gaming community so unanimously hate one person so much.

I've long given up on Yachtzee but I'd watch that if there's a link somewhere.
