Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

Waka waka waka so serious?

[–]TheNarratorOfBastion 149 points150 points ago

Used to be a time when criminals roamed free 'round these parts. Line between the cops and the crooks blurred.

Folks lived in fear. And then the Pac-Man showed up. Cleaned up these streets 'til the crooks were scared to show their faces.

Times have changed. There's peace in the streets. Ain't a criminal out there fool enough to try the Pac-Man.

'Cept one. Dark times are coming, kid. And the Pac-Man's going to need more than just fruits to eat this fella up.

[–]ooo0ooo 28 points29 points ago

[–]invaderark12 6 points7 points ago

The end sounds like a commercial for a new PAC-Man game, where PAC-man must defeat a new ghost, one that isn't afraid to fight PACMAN, and they must fight an epic battle, the most epic battle the arcade has ever seen!

[–]Syn7axError 5 points6 points ago

Considering he couldn't fight the regular ghosts, that would be a short fight.

Dammit, I always read it in Bastion voice before seeing who wrote the comment and its been almost a year since I played the game.

[–]zombiebunnie 5 points6 points ago

Sounds like its time to play it again.

[–]Syn7axError -1 points0 points ago

"I always read it in Bastion voice"

What?

[–]leonox 0 points1 point ago

I didn't feel like typing out "The narrator of Bastion"'s voice?

[–]zombiebunnie -1 points0 points ago

Godddammit, I was just listening to the soundtrack of Bastion, so I read that in his voice before even seeing the username. Well done.

[–]incredible-ninja 3 points4 points ago

but it was allways the other way around... why??????!!!!!!

[–]CUNTBERT_RAPINGTON 4 points5 points ago

Reddit is just that bad now. These subreddits are all reflex and no thought.

Somebody posts something barely related to gaming, and sits back while the circlejerk of catch phrases (wanna know how i got these durr hurr) commences.

[–]dryrainwetfire 2 points3 points ago

i remember in this one post they proved that 9gag changes the time on their posts

[–]brohammer5 2 points3 points ago

Correction: 9gag actually took my idea.

[–]falcon017 21 points22 points ago

But pac-man should be batman and the ghosts should be jokers, right?

[–]SBecker30 29 points30 points ago

That's what I thought...but then I thought about the scene and the joker is talking to those gangster criminal dudes in that room around the table. So maybe the ghosts are those bad guys?

[–]falcon017 8 points9 points ago

Ah yeah, now i see, I didn't even notice that the joker in this pic is indeed a ghost. Thanks for pointing that out.

[–]Zuggible 17 points18 points ago

Joker is a ghost in the picture. Pac-man is not shown.

[–]funkywalrus 0 points1 point ago

that was my thought.

[–]Dazing 1 point2 points ago

Pac-man is batman, there are 5 ghosts in this picture.

[–]dueljester 1 point2 points ago

Better question who is the fifth ghost? There have only been 4 different ghosts in game...

[–]Viking_Lordbeast 3 points4 points ago

He's the ghost behind the scenes. Conducting the ghostly activities behind the curtain.

PAC-MAN!

Why's he running, Dad?

Because we have to chase him.

[–]KleurenPrinter 3 points4 points ago

I just got done playing one of the SCARIEST video games ever. Now, hear me out before saying, "Oh, he's probably just a fag that gets scared of everything." I don't get scared of video games or movies. I've played many survival horror games and have seen many horror movies in my day. The only thing that made me just a tiny bit scared were some parts of Penumbra and Condemned. Everything else was just boring. This game was different. VERY different.

You aren't given any sort of back story the game at all. As soon as you press play, it throws you right into the game. However, I was able to piece together what the story basically is through finally beating this little brick shitter. Apparently, you're a madman. We're never given the name, but you can guess what it is if you pay attention to the title screen. For some reason, you escaped from whatever mental hospital room you were hiding in. Now, the very horrid state of your mind has transformed the halls of the hospital into nothing but a pitch black maze with the only light being the walls, which glow a deathly blue.

Your character is apparently some type of mad cannibal that you can barely control. You can force him to turn corners in the creepy hallway, but not much else can be done. Your character seems to grab anything and try to eat it; whatever is in front of him is thrown into his mouth and he munches it down.

While playing the game, you're being chased by four hideous and fucking scary ghost monsters. You cannot hurt them at all, and to come even close to one is instant death, in which the ghost latches onto you and rips you inside all, all while you hear the horrible noise of your body being torn.

You can, however, eat some odd objects hidden in the maze, after which your character goes into an even more unstable state. You can literally EAT the ghost monsters. Your character runs right up to them and devours them, only leaving their eyes.

There aren't any words to describe how horrific and terrifying this game is, and I don't want to spoil the surprises for you. Just go ahead and try it for yourself. Google the word Pac-Man. You'll find it on the first search.

Relevant story:

The other day I was regaling my friends with my useless knowledge.

I told them: "Hey, if you stick your finger in your ear and scratch, it sounds like pac-man (It's true. Try it)."

They thought I said Bat-Man.

Then I thought about how weird it would be if you stuck your finger in your ear and heard "WHERE IS SHE!"

[–]uniquelyaverage 5 points6 points ago

means good job basically

[–]AjdinSamurai 0 points1 point ago

Hey thanks I have been wondering about this for two months now.

[–]TheInexorableTruth 1 point2 points ago

It's also just a congratulation or a way of acknowledging the accomplishment of another and publicly admitting that he/she has earned some form of recognition.

[–]AjdinSamurai 1 point2 points ago

So that's why people were "kudosing" all over the place.

[–]TheInexorableTruth 1 point2 points ago

Yeah. It's blown up and is now the "cool" thing to say. Just like that silly phrase "sucks to suck."

[–]AjdinSamurai 0 points1 point ago

Lol never heard about that one.So how would people use that in a sentence?

[–]TheInexorableTruth 2 points3 points ago

John is walking along the sidewalk carrying a stack of books. He catches his foot on the curb and stumbles forward, causing his armload to crash to the ground. His friend Andrew is walking to class on the other side of the road. He sees the humiliation on John's face, laughs, and yells, "Sucks to suck, dude!"

Stupid, dumb phrase that people have become obsessed with in New England.

EDIT Grammar

[–]AjdinSamurai -1 points0 points ago

Haha wow I can't believe this is what is becoming popular nowdays.First YOLO than swag,kudos,now sucks to suck,arrow to the knee(but that's annoying nowadays),..I can't remember more but it is a few of words that many use.

[–]Bloodfeastisleman 1 point2 points ago

You have internet access and you wondered what "kudos" meant for two months?

Well....Yeah.

[–]PuroMichoacan 1 point2 points ago

Don't blame you. My lazy ass still has to Google WTF is this whoosh thing going on on Reddit.

[–]AjdinSamurai 1 point2 points ago

Yeah I know how you feel I was to lazy to write it on google so I asked my close friend one day:

Me:Hey you heard about that Whoosh thing going on?

Friend:Yeah I have.

Me:So what does it mean?

Friend:You mean you don't know.

Me:Yeah I don't get it

Friend:So why didn't you just typed it on google?

Me:I was to lazy so I am asking you.

Friend:Okay from my understanding it means something is stupid or is telling you are stupid something like that.

Me:So....that explains everything.

[–]dogismyname2 1 point2 points ago

If only there was some sort of way to find the definition of words...

[–]AjdinSamurai 0 points1 point ago

Of kudos right?

[–]Dazing 4 points5 points ago

Kudos is the Finnish word for tissue(biologic).

But in English it's used to praise someones achievements.

[–]AjdinSamurai 0 points1 point ago

Thanks for answering :)

[–]Viking_Lordbeast 2 points3 points ago

Also, according to wikipedia and wiktionary, Kudos comes from a Greek word meaning "glory." And apparently it also means "fabric" in Finnish.

[–]AjdinSamurai 0 points1 point ago

Yeah I saw the Wiki thing about it but still thanks ;)

[–]Dakpot 3 points4 points ago

It's a granola bar company. People offer up Kudos bars in reward for good deeds and achievements. http://www.kudosbar.com/
