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.

I'm going to need to see some proof to believe that all traversals aren't the same complexity?

it initially seems otherwise, but its not obviously true

I want to do one for the king!! Long live the king!

Here is one, assuming the king starts this in the corner.

[–]amirman 19 points20 points ago

[–]rizon 8 points9 points ago

You even went through the trouble of re-uploading it!

[–]YouPickMyName 9 points10 points ago

It should have gone crazy when there were a few rows left.

Jumping wildly and then killing the knight.

[–]Skjellnir 7 points8 points ago

it would miss the point if it did.

[–]Hallabackatcha 1541 points1542 points ago

Why did I just sit here, and watch the entire thing....

[–]Abe_Odd 682 points683 points ago

We are conditioned to wait to see if something exciting happens at the end.

[–]Gamesurfer 1041 points1042 points ago

It would be better if you didn't make it happen after the tenth time, but fuck that was awesome nonetheless

[–]witcoheibn 709 points710 points ago

You're a mean person.

I do.

[–]SlaughterMeister 11 points12 points ago

I was expecting a service that added an explosion to the end of a gif. I was disappointed.

[–]SAYSTUPIDSHIT 2 points3 points ago

Dude, amazing.

I've been waiting, but nothing is happening. Am I missing something? Must've watched it like 20 times.

your_penis
Type - Mutated Phallus
Hp: 20*
Str: 18
Vit: 16
Int: 11
Dex: 1

Special abilities:
be disappointed: your_penis' immense size puts all other male players to shame. Pick a player, that player cannot use the ability of your choice on their next turn. Use this only once every 3 of your turns.

Floppyottiedopalicious: Flopping himself around like a helicopter at high velocities, your_penis creates a fan effect, blowing any player in the direction you're facing back 5 spaces. If they hit another player or object, they are hurt by 3 Hp.

Erected by Steel: Turning on his iron like defense, your_penis activates a special hardening process. Your movement speed is reduced by 1, but all attacks deal 3 less damage to you. Fire elemental damage is not affected in this way. You may revert this process at the cost of an action point at any time.

Bag of Tea, Sir?: (Range:1) Searching through his tea bags, your_penis can select one to give to either an ally or enemy. Use only once per 2 of your turns.

Refreshing Tea: Ally given this has +1 movement speed on their next turn, and restores 1 Hp at the beginning of their turn for their next 3 turns.
Poisonous Tea: Enemy player given this has gas pains, which reduce their movement speed by 1, and deal 1 damage to them at the beginning of their turn for their next 3 turns.

Passive Abilities:
Defensive Goop: your_penis grows more powerful whenever he is physically attacked, to the point of bursting with energy. Whenever you're physically attacked, you may store one Goop counter. When you have 3 of them, you may spray a goop at an enemy player at the cost of all these counters.

Goop: (Range:5) The enemy players are blasted by a solidifying liquid. This ability hits all players within range of the direction you chose. Their movement speed is reduced by 2 on their next turn, and action points by 1.

Bock and Calls: Being 3 different segments, your_penis gains benefits from such. Each part has its own individual Hp, and must be targeted separately from the other parts by enemy player.

Pole: The pole has 10 Hp, and grants +2 to physical damage, and strength. When slain, these bonuses are lost.
Left Circle: This one has 5 Hp, and grants +2 to ability damage as well as +1 to movement.
Right Circle: This one has 5 Hp, and grants +2 to all healing casted on or by your_penis.

Bouncy Bounding: Due to not really having legs, your_penis' default movement speed is 2, not counting the bonuses gained from Bock and Calls.

"What a fascinating specimen, its name is your_penis you say? Remarkable. I've yet to see such a large variety anywhere else. I will begin studying it immediately."

"It's been three months since we began the arduous process of learning more about our elongated friend. He eats grass which we supply ample amounts of. Usually just flops around the place, mindlessly searching for something. Any groove, nook, or cranny he can squeeze himself into, so we've had to do a little baby-proofing in here. As far as the source of the mutation? Most likely high concentrations of karmanite were exposed to a normal man's penis at some point, causing it to become elephant like and replicate more nerve cells. It either became sentient and detached itself, or maybe the original owner did it. It's purpose or goal has yet to be discovered, but folks around here have taken to calling it "your_penis", as a joke. Such as "Hey Vajinath, saw your_penis in the lab today!" "What? No, how that's ridic- ohhhh you silly fuck!"

After years, the scientists having exhausted all research on it, decided to let it back into the wild. There was just no promising research resulting from keeping it here, and the amount of grass it was consuming was rising exponentially. All the scientists stood out from their lab, waving. "Goodbye your_penis! Good luck out there little guy!" "We'll call occasionally, your_penis! Don't worry buddy!" "Life out there shouldn't be too hard for you!" And just like that, none of them ever saw your_penis again.

haha I hadn't realised! Can't be bothered doing a karma whore submission though

[–]postsonlyforfreestuf 3 points4 points ago

putting your knowledge to use to entertain the people, you are a gentleman and a scholar sir

[–]Makes_RPG_Stats 1 point2 points ago

I try, thank you. It's also slowly being developed into an actual game, so not only is it just for reading entertainment, but hopefully something interactively entertaining for everyone eventually.

[–]Captain_LargePoop 0 points1 point ago

Thanks

[–]ZedTheNameless 0 points1 point ago

So you're saying that Floppyottiedopalicious means I get blown by a cock.

[–]Makes_RPG_Stats 0 points1 point ago

Guess you could say you... nailed that.

[–]Ubaralook 0 points1 point ago

This is fantastic. I can only hope that one day I become a character in your truly amazing RPG.

[–]hiding_from_my_gf 8 points9 points ago

Tricked by your_penis again...

[–]AlvinoK 16 points17 points ago

Shit I just watch this whole one as well.

We all did. Bravo.

Fuck you.. I don't know why I expected anything different though..

[–]Time_Tester 6 points7 points ago

Can't believe I fell for this shit.

[–]Hallabackatcha 9 points10 points ago

This... This is true. I am virtually terrified though of a scream face popping up at the end of each gif. Reddit is a cruel mistress.

[–]A_Piece_of_Pie 9 points10 points ago

Hey, you wanna know something cool? You can upload a .gif to imgur and name it anything you want. So even if the image you're looking at seems to be a .jpg, you're still not safe.

You're never safe.

[–]Hallabackatcha 5 points6 points ago

No. Don't say that. I'm now more scared.

[–]Rainfly_X 25 points26 points ago

[–]Hallabackatcha 17 points18 points ago

I screamed. I'm not lying. I am so glad that I am home alone.

[–]teawreck5 5 points6 points ago

Because, like me, you wanted to make sure it was legit

[–]Wetmelon 256 points257 points ago

O.O I was watching this and listening to "Phoner to Arizona" by Gorillaz when suddenly...

It syncs up perfectly!

[–]stealingyourpixels 2 points3 points ago

For the whole thing! Twice around as far as I watched!

[–]tomoom165 12 points13 points ago

Isn't The Fall a strange, amazing album?

[–]aoeu00 68 points69 points ago

I might be late to the show.. but fixed gif only 1/20 of the size of OP's gif and faster to conform to ADD friendliness

ADD friendly [23.3k]

[–]VikingZombie 5 points6 points ago

For some reason this made me anxious for it to end, even though I had already watched the first one and it is clearly much faster.

[–]Ancaeus 4 points5 points ago

Oh god that's beautiful.

[–]mortalum 381 points382 points ago

[–]rutterkin 56 points57 points ago

somehow I was hearing a beat in my head

[–]Schadenfreuder 47 points48 points ago

Okay, now that I see this I realize the title's first word isn't "rock" and it's all much more clear.

[–]Thor_Odin_Son 123 points124 points ago

much more exciting

[–]DarthKarma 13 points14 points ago

So was this someone illustrating how a knight can touch every square without having to land on the same square twice?

If so, can it be done starting from its actual starting square (i.e. from b1)?

[–]zid 3 points4 points ago

There are lots of ways to solve this problem, and some of them are cyclical (the final square can land onto the starting square) so yes, it works from any square, including b1.

[–]CoolMoD 1 point2 points ago

The problem at hand is called the Knight's Tour. There's a pretty good wikipedia article about it. And yes, since it's possible to make a knight's tour that ends one move away from its starting position on an 8×8 board, it's possible to complete from any position on a standard chess board.

[–]Maverick1717 25 points26 points ago

Oh yes I was enthralled

[–]cbs_ 0 points1 point ago

Made me wet.

[–]CarterAdministration 18 points19 points ago

That's not the knight's normal starting position...

[–]Nasdijj 7 points8 points ago

It's not meant to be a realistic chess scenario. I've always heard of the knight's tour in the context of teaching people algorithms

[–]zserf 12 points13 points ago

Also possible in 3d!

[–]TheAtomicPlayboy 88 points89 points ago

This is the most boring game of Snake ever.

[–]theWonderslug 83 points84 points ago

so can the queen, or king

[–]catmoon 83 points84 points ago

Or a pawn if you queen them. So bishops are the only piece that can't.

[–]Ghost7x 95 points96 points ago

fuck bishops

[–]Jyvblamo 121 points122 points ago

Unless you're a prepubescent boy.

[–]livinglitch 87 points88 points ago

In that case the bishop fucks you.

[–]tonyvila 19 points20 points ago

In Soviet Russia...

[–]studmuffffffin 104 points105 points ago

Nope, that happens pretty much everywhere.

[–]vteckickedin 8 points9 points ago

In Istanbul not Constantinople

[–]HigherFive 7 points8 points ago

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam.

[–]KazOondo 0 points1 point ago

In fact Soviet Russia might have been the one place it didn't happen.

[–]Sassywhat 2 points3 points ago

... the bishop is fucked by YOU!!!

[–]Eldorian 6 points7 points ago

Forgot about Knights.

[–]catmoon 17 points18 points ago

"Rooks can do that too!" is referring to another thread about knights. That's how this got started.

[–]Eldorian 6 points7 points ago

Ah, I missed the first go around.

That makes more sense on wtf this got voted so high. I guess.

[–]TheShrinkingGiant 3 points4 points ago

unless you use both, which is stupid, so I don't know why I am saying it at all

[–]chickenbull 5 points6 points ago

can't wait for the queen/king edition!

[–]James-VZ 16 points17 points ago

I know I'm not Bobby Fischer here, but I'm reasonably sure neither the King nor the Queen start out in the Rook's spot under any circumstance.

[–]jokanee 4 points5 points ago

What if someone had a gun to your head, WHAT THEN?!

[–]Jewdu 3 points4 points ago

It can be from any spot. Look at the knight's gif... starts from a queen/king spot.

[–]dan3659 0 points1 point ago

Haha exactly what I thought!

[–]uberzdn 0 points1 point ago

Yes, but can a rook do it in less moves than the knight?

[–]SlickTricks 12 points13 points ago

NO BECAUSE THEY'RE EACH MOVING EXACTLY 63 TIMES. DAMMIT.

[–]Lord_Attikus 0 points1 point ago

I watched it all the way through, just to be sure.

[–]denbub 2 points3 points ago

[–]robc89 0 points1 point ago

how does bullshit like this get over 1200 upvotes?

[–]phoebus67 0 points1 point ago

Should be in /r/funny

Though I thought the same thing when I saw the knight one as well.

[–]Izzetmaster 5 points6 points ago

How the fuck is this on the front page.

I'm definitely not the only person who watched that entire thing.

[–]flappsta 0 points1 point ago

Someone should make one saying pawns can do that too, and show a pawn making it to the end and becoming a queen.

[–]Afrew 0 points1 point ago

I accidentally had this tuned to the downbeat of Slayer. Made it much more interesting.

Queens can do it too. If I were more savvy and had a lot of time to waste, I'd make the gif and link it. Alas, I don't give that much of a fuck.

[–]steffesteffe 0 points1 point ago

But why did he do the twirly thing at the end and not just continue the pattern?
