嗯，這張照片已經被廣為傳播很久了，用於調侃各種新聞消息發布時，人們激動和失落的瞬間反差。那麼它的出處在哪裡呢？
今天看到@技術宅一號機 在微博上報出了這四位的名字，他們分別是Matt Casamassina、Craig Harris、Chadd Chamers、Peer Schneider，IGN團隊的成員。
我用google圖片搜索去反過來搜索照片的出處，查閱到了IGN上關於2003年E3新聞發布會的新聞 。（E3=The Electronic Entertainment Expo，是一個很大、很受關注的遊戲展會）
照片中的他們當時是IGN的記者（IGN=Imagine Games Network，一間多媒體和評論網站，主要對象為視頻遊戲，現已發展成為全球規模最大的遊戲娛樂媒體）。那麼他們看到了什麼呢？
表情失望的這張照片，是任天堂CEO在2003年E3新聞發布會上介紹GC平臺上Pacman vs.（吃豆人遊戲）時，IGN團隊成員的表情。IGN在自己的網站上給出的評論如下，你可以大致理解為：我們等了這麼久你就給我們看這個？
That's Matt Casamassina, Craig Harris, Chadd Chambers and Peer Schneider all honestly reacting to Nintendo's presentation that year – they were so bored by what they were seeing that they couldn't help but go deadpan for the duration of the event. (Now that's only half of the meme, as that image was later paired with one expressing overjoyed emotion from the following year. But I'll let you read more about that over on Peer's blog if you want to learn more.)
So why all the sad faces? Well, Nintendo's biggest announcement of the year was Pac-Man Vs. Seriously, that was the biggest announcement. It was a decent game, but its reliance on Game Boy Advance-to-GameCube connectivity came across as gimmicky at the time – and while it would have been a fine product to feature in a supporting role at the show, it was instead positioned as Nintendo's most major surprise. While Xbox fans were being treated to huge hype-builders like Halo 2, we were getting a multiplayer version of a 23-year-old arcade game that required two different video game systems to play.
而下面表情激動的這張，則是一年之後的E3上，任天堂宣布了Zelda（塞爾達傳說）的新作。翻了一下網上的評論，似乎是說這個遊戲還不錯~所以他們的表情才這麼激動吧.
這四位目前在網上被稱為Reaction Guys，亦被稱為Gaijin 4Koma。有網友建立了他們的FB主頁但是久不更新。

本人雖熱愛RPG，但可惜非骨灰級遊戲迷，看到這個新聞挺有意思的，所以隨手查了一下哈，若有翻譯不到位還請多多指正。好了我去玩老滾五了~
最後一個問題，那個塞爾達傳說好玩麼？
