I'm Something of a Mage Myself Skyrim Meme

This is a humorous gaming meme referencing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The top overlaid text reads 'When you breeze through the college of winterhold questline without using any spells'. The image below shows an edited character wearing heavy fantasy warrior armor, with a warhammer slung over his back, standing in a Skyrim overworld environment, with actor Willem Dafoe's smug face photoshopped onto the character's head. The bottom overlaid text is the punchline: 'You know, I'm something of a mage myself.' The joke relies on a common player experience: the College of Winterhold questline is designed for magic-using character builds, but many players complete the entire questline using non-magical warrior or thief playstyles, then ironically claim the title of mage when acknowledged by the college's members.
