The Witcher III: Wild Hunt is a realistic fantasty game filled with violence, political intrigue, and romance. It’s also the source of some pretty funny animated gifs.

Some of them involve some clever player antics, other bugs. All of them are sure to help you smile a bit on this Memorial Day. Yeah, that’s the best connection I could come up with to the holiday. Sue me.

Now he’s shredding the half-pipes! Geralt’s going after Tony Hawk. Or maybe, like Shrek and Spider-Man before him, he’s just gunning for a guest spot in Pro Skater 5’s roster.
