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.

Great, now Farnsworth is stuck in my head.

[–]MethAddict1337 11 points12 points ago

My thoughts exactly.

[–]BarkingTurtle[S] 37 points38 points ago

Eh whaaat?

[–]thesplendor 17 points18 points ago

Good News Everyone!

[–]LeonardNemoysHead 5 points6 points ago

Fascinating.

[–]AmoDman 2 points3 points ago

Farnsworth is stuck in my head.

And his voice is connected to sex. Go you. Let the mental connection sink in and set...

[–]caninehere 2 points3 points ago

oh yes.

[–]That_Guy33 115 points116 points ago

The problem with this statement is that the definition of "Females that play video games" is very loose; playing anything from WoW every night to simply playing Draw Something on your phone could qualify as playing video games.

[–]vgxmaster 57 points58 points ago

Statistics like this will always be skewed. For all we know, this is based off of a survey of 20 females. /shrug.

[–]ConnorLovesCookies 73 points74 points ago

Actually for all we know this could just be some asshole on his twitter.

[–]ChemicalShenanigans 16 points17 points ago

What, you think some fellow would just lie? On the internet of all places?! Blasphemy, I say!

[–]thesevmancometh 3 points4 points ago

Surely, he jests.

[–]smasters908 -1 points0 points ago

Good thing it's Blasphemy day!

[–]veisc2 17 points18 points ago

Are you telling me novelty twitter accounts' posts aren't peer-reviewed?

wtf man

[–]vgxmaster 3 points4 points ago

The quality of our lives would improve, like, eightfold.

[–]sashimi_taco 0 points1 point ago

The twist is that it's from a survey of over 50 thousand female fruit flies.

[–]Juzztn 1 point2 points ago

It could be based on the Hustler competitive DotA team.

[–]LeonardNemoysHead 0 points1 point ago

Nope, studies detail methodology and will tell you what the statistics mean and include error bars. This isn't a statistic, it's a post on Twitter.

[–]Itziclinic 0 points1 point ago

As long as it's bootstrapped it'll be okay! Said every thesis committee ever.

[–]rjshatz 6 points7 points ago

And "females that don't play video games" include, like, my grandma and stuff.

[–]DitDer 2 points3 points ago

The problem with the statement is that it's just a dumb punchline with probably little bearing on reality.

[–]thatguywil 4 points5 points ago

Exactly, there's a huge difference between Skyrim and Just Dance.

[–]CitizenPremier 0 points1 point ago

Honestly, females who play no video games probably don't have arms.

[–]LeonardNemoysHead 0 points1 point ago

That kind of uncertainty in definitions is why this isn't a sourced study and is instead a joke on Twitter.

[–]dgmockingjay 159 points160 points ago

Same cannot be said for males, unfortunately!

[–]ExplainsYourJoke 150 points151 points ago

"just because they're having more sex, doesn't mean they're having any with you."

[–]upq700hp 12 points13 points ago

I hate you for relizing that.

[–]GeekyPanda404 11 points12 points ago

amen.

[–]IAmHomeless 31 points32 points ago

UberFacts is fake and has no research to back anything up.

[–]eRonin 2 points3 points ago

They once tried to tell me the voice actor of Mario is the same as the voice actor for Optimus Prime >.>

[–]Devlus 2 points3 points ago

No but he is the same voice actor for Parthanax, one of the main dragons from Skyrim.

[–]eRonin 1 point2 points ago

Yep, noticed that when I went fact-checking. Pretty cool =)

[–]panire 22 points23 points ago

im not really sure how sitting around playing games would increase my sexual drive.. "ohhh yeah i got a headshot.. mmm.. i need some tender lovin."

[–]VestaDear 12 points13 points ago

It could relate more to the type of women that game and less to gaming having a direct effect on the amount of sex a woman has.

[–]loveiseverything 2 points3 points ago

It's not really about gaming. Women who game appear to be also more social as it is.

http://www.gamehouse.com/blog/women-who-game/

[–]dewlover 1 point2 points ago

Introvert female gamer here. Wut. Except I'm gay so it's probably different for me :(

[–]cowgeneral 43 points44 points ago

Yuh hear dat?

[–]murderofcrows6 2 points3 points ago

ya mon

[–]macnerd99 9 points10 points ago

For a second, I thought I was in /r/futurama when I looked at the title

[–]Phoneyfredy 1 point2 points ago

Thank you for showing me this!!

[–]Swkoll 9 points10 points ago

This could probably be because younger people are more likely to play video games and they are also more likely to have sex.

[–]ZapActions-dower 2 points3 points ago

Exactly. Video games don't lead to sex, it's just that the types of people who are attracted to video games (i.e. young people) also have sex more often.

[–]TeHNyboR 2 points3 points ago

As a female gamer in the middle of one of the worst dry spells I've ever had in my life...I call bullshit -.-

[–]Smoothtroopah 2 points3 points ago

Now I don't mean to be a downer. But how is this good news?

[–]G-H-O-S-T 2 points3 points ago

GiRLs! sEX1 OMG

[–]Beanbaker 2 points3 points ago

How could this possibly have been proven? Uberfacts is full of shit a lot of the time.

[–]yajnavalkya 4 points5 points ago

Skeptical.

[–]deadeight 8 points9 points ago

Disclaimer: During the study no distinction was made between consensual and non-consensual sex.

[–]pepipopa 7 points8 points ago

Doesnt matter had sex.

[–]Moprods -2 points-1 points ago

This guy gets it.

[–]Steellonewolf77 1 point2 points ago

Certainty that sex isn't with men who do.

[–]stitch1993 2 points3 points ago

Who else read that in Professor Farnsworth's voice?

[–]xLoloz 1 point2 points ago

That Twitter is so stupid...

[–]ofa776 2 points3 points ago

Don't show this to the GOP. They'll start trying to ban video games because they ruin traditional marriage. I can see the Romney/Ryan commercials now...

[–]iAskuu 2 points3 points ago

Am I the only one who read that in Professor Farnsworth's voice?

[–]zaphod5 3 points4 points ago

As a Married female gamer, I call BULLSHIT!!! Thankfully I have plenty of NPCs to fap too. FML :(

[–]btoni223 0 points1 point ago

No waaaaaay.

[–]TheMarkHasBeenMade 4 points5 points ago

As a female gamer with many female gamer friends with many female non-gamer friends, I can attest to this being wholeheartedly 100% true.

[–]Mrs_Queequeg 7 points8 points ago

I'm a female gamer, but I have no idea what rate of sex counts as more than average.

Until I know, I'm simultaneously a prude and a slut.

[–]RawrfulCast 9 points10 points ago

Schrödinger's whore?

EDIT: Wait, no, that just sounds like I'm asking you if Schrödinger paid you for sex. Nevermind.

[–]dewlover 0 points1 point ago

Female gamer here. Doesn't seem to be that true. Sex in general? Sex with guys? I'm gay so how does my statistic even factor in here o_o

[–]No1Asked4MyOpinion 1 point2 points ago

I still read this in your voice

[–]mho007 0 points1 point ago

My impression was that gaming is more convenient of a hobby than anything that is outside of home. So it only makes sense to me that gaming and bedtime goes together pretty well.

[–]Detsuahxe 1 point2 points ago

[citation needed]

[–]Gamerchik 0 points1 point ago

True that

[–]TehWut -1 points0 points ago

are you saying I have a chance?

[–]Blue_Falcon 1 point2 points ago

Next Uber fact. Girls who play video games are rarer than girls who don't. (assuming we're not counting facebook games.)

[–]SkyBlind 1 point2 points ago

I totally didn't read that in the Professor's voice from Futurama.

[–]V33G33 0 points1 point ago

Best part is the shout out to a bunch of girls with this information at the bottom.

[–]Zombit_Jesus 1 point2 points ago

UberFacts on twitter has a long history of lying/distorting the truth. But I want to believe.

[–]MrBellator 0 points1 point ago

BREAKING NEWS sex has risen 30% after the Black Ops II release

[–]TheeFlipper 1 point2 points ago

I used to follow them on twitter. Then I started questioning their "facts" and looking them up. A lot of them weren't true at all.

[–]guitarplayer2434 1 point2 points ago

I had to read that title in a Professor Farnsworth voice.

[–]LearnAndReflect 1 point2 points ago

seeing as how most children/infants don't play video games, and most senior citizens don't either, i could see that.

[–]Kingoftheklownz 1 point2 points ago

If anyone is interested, here is an essay on how data can be interpreted how ever one pleases. http://www.mrgunnar.net/files/Gould%20Brains.pdf

[–]rb_tech 0 points1 point ago

Maybe, but don't get your hopes up, neckbeards. There is no known alternative to personality and classic good looks.

[–]nomnomnaan 0 points1 point ago

i take it im not the only one who read that in Jermey Clarkson's voice?

[–]CitizenPremier 0 points1 point ago

Are there really females that don't play video games? In our generation I don't think that exists. Everybody plays something.

[–]Syke042 0 points1 point ago

Older women have less sex than younger women. They also play less video games.

[–]thebakerman 1 point2 points ago

too bad uberfacts is full of shit.

[–]fullmetal21 0 points1 point ago

Quality over quantity

[–]Jahames 0 points1 point ago

Of course, fat chicks love the D!

(JK)

[–]TheArgo 0 points1 point ago

Ofc they do, look how many mothers get fucked in a daily basis that you hear from in video games

[–]VoxUp -1 points0 points ago

I feel like my sex life would be so much less frustrating if I just enjoyed dick.

-A lesbian nerd

[–]rx25 1 point2 points ago

There is an inverse relationship here; most men who don't play video games have more sex with women than those that do.

[–]Dracomister7 0 points1 point ago

Well duh. Who do you think are the ones having sex with our moms. It's not the 12 year old boys.

[–]leftwing_rightist 1 point2 points ago

So that female employee at GameStop that I have a crush on is a fucking slut?

[–]killett 0 points1 point ago

The slime pipes are working again!

[–]theworstisover11 0 points1 point ago

Nice try, forever alone gamer.

[–]Myuriko 0 points1 point ago

I play SNES JRPGs.. Quick, somebody gangbang me!

[–]iheartbakon 0 points1 point ago

The twist: they have it with other females.

[–]InterwebCeleb 0 points1 point ago

Old news, everyone!

[–]BlueNotesBlues 0 points1 point ago

Just not with you

[–]Sneezes_Loudly 0 points1 point ago

NB this isn't controlled for age etc. It's generally meaningless.

[–]theoddbear 1 point2 points ago

Also, females with offspring who play videogames, specifically on Xbox live, are reported to have a vastly increased amount of sexual partners.

[–]Nashiee 0 points1 point ago

UberFacts is just a load of made up bullshit. There's a lot of ridiculous stuff on there.

[–]JennaIsMe 0 points1 point ago

Source?

[–]kittengoesmew -1 points0 points ago

sweet lol

[–]HardcoreHazza 0 points1 point ago

Seems legit.

[–]Emmarh23 -1 points0 points ago

Even though gamer girls have a higher sex drive, it's a shame my gamer guy has a low one.

[–]christehchris 0 points1 point ago

The slime is flowing again!

[–]Ilnez 0 points1 point ago

Good news everyone, nerd are still horny folk... I hope you didn't pay money for that app...

As for a reason why: just look at all the sex appeal present in video games these days. That's why, as much as we like to think we're above that and they're just pixels (which they are) fact is they work because the people who design them know how our brains work.

[–]Draxova 0 points1 point ago

Woah that's my namw

[–]helander 0 points1 point ago

As someone who loves random facts, accounts such as über facts drive me up the wall. Half the shit they post is blatantly false.

[–]Merfen 0 points1 point ago

My guess would be that gaming girls would attract gaming men. Gaming men would be more likely to try and keep a gaming girlfriend(as they can be rare to find in the real world). Men doing nice things for women tend to turn them on, at least in my experience.

[–]Manzanis 0 points1 point ago

Oh, gamer girls are sluts. Yay. :/

[–]hquarterz -4 points-3 points ago

Yeah, all the girls i know who picked up video games are fucking sluts.

[–]haswb 3 points4 points ago

YEAH! THEY LIKE SEX AND THEY'RE GIRLS! AWESOME! FRONT PAGE OF REDDIT!

those fucking sluts.

zzzzz

[–]Reapist 0 points1 point ago

Wait...are they fucking sluts or fucking sluts? I would assume if they are fucking sluts, it wouldn't really matter whether they played video games or not.

[–]hquarterz -1 points0 points ago

in my experience they are sluts who work their way around my group of friends and then shatter the entirety of friendship. so they are sluts of the fucking caliber, not girls who are fucking other girls of ill repute

edit: on a completely related note (slightly NSFW) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xI6byCqY-2Y

[–]Mrs_Queequeg 2 points3 points ago

Your friends could have abstained. Takes two to tango, and she's not the one with friendships on the line.

[–]lazzarus979 -3 points-2 points ago

Amen to that.

[–]Eudaemons -5 points-4 points ago

I'm going to say this is true, because I am the only female that I know who plays games that does it for fun and.....not to get into every male gamer's pants. I don't understand it personally, other than it is similar to girls going to parties to only get laid and not for non-sexual fun with friends.

They're like the duckface orange girls of the nerd subculture.

[–]Moldy_Pussy 12 points13 points ago

I have no idea what your trying to say...

[–]Eudaemons -1 points0 points ago

Me either. Weird ass rant that just came back too and I'm like....what. What did I just write.

[–]masteroc 1 point2 points ago

not to get into every male gamer's pants.

Wat

[–]RayBarone 1 point2 points ago

What girl plays video games to get into male gamers' pants?

[–]ZapActions-dower 1 point2 points ago

Who in the fuck is trying to get into male gamers' pants? I mean, I do try to get into my own pants, but that's just because someone has to do it.

[–]verbosegf 0 points1 point ago

I know a couple of girls that HATE video games and think they're stupid, but they only play them because they think being nerdy is "in" and more "hot" guys are playing video games, and they think that playing will get them to notice them.

[–]Taco_M0nster -1 points0 points ago

life is gonna be good

[–]evilbananaman 5 points6 points ago

Doesn't mean they will have sex with you ;)

[–]halexander9000 0 points1 point ago

It's times like this ... when it totally rocks being a perfectly healthy virgin male gamer.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]brawlsack 0 points1 point ago

Hows not having sex not healthy? As long as you masturbate nonstop, that prostate is going to be in pristine condition.

[–]Baltoli -1 points0 points ago

Yuh hear dat, guys?

[–]playmaker_41 0 points1 point ago

Totally just read that in the professors voice

[–]zombiezelda -2 points-1 points ago

As a lady gamer I can confirm from my end.

[–]sharksfan93 -2 points-1 points ago

It's funny because any girl could play a video game and meet up with any guy online in real life and the guy would have sex with her. so this says absolute nothing about females, just that guy gamers are there to screw if a girl is a sex addict/looking for a good time

[–]cyclonesworld -2 points-1 points ago

I have previous relationships that call bullshit on this fact.

[–]sashimi_taco 0 points1 point ago

Female what? Gorillas? Kangaroos? Maybe we can give some video games to the females of endangered species so they will have sex more. I think this can really help with the pandas.

[–]incrediblemojo -3 points-2 points ago

should say: women, take note!

[–]WarPhalange -2 points-1 points ago

Yeah, but with who? Is it even worth it at that point?

[–]amyneko -2 points-1 points ago

Yes....Yes we do.
