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.

This my favourite version of this .gif

http://imgur.com/hHWOb

[–]m_goss 0 points1 point ago

Wait. Why does it say it's a jpg?

[–]HigherFive 28 points29 points ago

Why do we have to go over this every time?

File type is not defined by file extension, but (sometimes) indicated by it.

edit: If you're specifically asking, why /u/m_goss linked to http://i.imgur.com/hHWOb.jpg, instead of http://i.imgur.com/hHWOb.gif, actually he didn't. He linked to http://imgur.com/hHWOb and RES replaced the link with http://i.imgur.com/hHWOb.jpg. This was probably coded this way out of laziness, but to be fair, its only downsides are producing posts like yours and breaking anything browser based (extensions, bookmarklets, etc.) that depends on extensions to get the file type.

[–]wickedcold 10 points11 points ago

Why do we have to go over this every time?

Well, two reasons that I can think of.

  1. m_goss was unaware of how file extensions work
  2. You decided to reply.

He asked a perfectly innocent question. He clearly has not seen the discussions that you must have seen or participated in, or he would not have asked. Don't get frustrated with him just because you find it tedious to reply. Simply don't reply.

And to all the people downvoting m_goss for asking, lighten up already.

"hey how come this youtube video has 1000 likes but only 300 views lol"

[–]SirFloIII 2 points3 points ago

[–]Bearly_Mach 0 points1 point ago

Your knowledge and patient response is sexy. Just sayin'.

I even skipped the part where imgur kindly ignores the extension and just gets you the file that holds the "hHWOb" key in their database.

[–]quitefunny 24 points25 points ago

Note to self:

-Do this, but with photorealistic gun on green screen.

-Add wound and blood spurt on dog.

-Aquire ALL THE HATE IN THE UNIVERSE

[–]undercoveruser 4 points5 points ago

You should post the results and your dox to /b/... trust me, they'll love you.

[–]bornrevolution 0 points1 point ago

They only care about cats.

[–]ThatCanadianBear 1 point2 points ago

Apearently you haven't been in a gore/furry hating thread.

[–]terrapurus 1 point2 points ago

When did cats learn to type?

[–]PokeytheHorse 6 points7 points ago

Camper.

[–]Nephrastar 13 points14 points ago

[–]Nephrastar 0 points1 point ago

WAIT! Shoots entire round of bullets

[–]Rangourthaman_ 4 points5 points ago

Who would that be?

[–]Masterful-Hats 5 points6 points ago

That would be a Slig from the Oddworld series. Adorable little buggers.

[–]hobo_shinobi 3 points4 points ago

[–]cor315 3 points4 points ago

Holy shit flash from the past.

[–]MickJoest 1 point2 points ago

Quit camping.

[–]ThisIsMyEG0 9 points10 points ago

This is so horrible. How could someone shoot a dog like that???

[–]afriendlysociopath 23 points24 points ago

OP wasn't even kind enough to NSFL tag this.

My whole day is ruined.

[–]medlish 6 points7 points ago

We're playing Doom here. You shoot EVERYTHING.

[–]HatesRedditors 4 points5 points ago

You were clearly playing it wrong! You have to try to work on your interpersonal skills by coordinating incompatible groups to work together.

The guns are only supposed to act as a threat, you thought you were supposed to kill other human beings and extra dimensional visitors?

[–]X-Craft 1 point2 points ago

When you see Wolfestein 3D you're gonna flip.

[–]1911colter 0 points1 point ago

Aha, like the Pokemon mod for Fallout NV, shoot it to return it to it's Pokeball.

[–]UbiDubiumIbiLibertas 2 points3 points ago

Doom guy was later charged with animal abuse.

[–]suttondeath 0 points1 point ago

No.

[–]averageatsoccer 0 points1 point ago

What the fuck..

[–]sleeping_in_time 2 points3 points ago

WHY WOULD YOU SHOOT YOUR DOG?

[–]georgeoliver1 -1 points0 points ago

Amazing !

[–]Mikey-2-Guns 0 points1 point ago

NUUU!!!!

[–]greedyiguana 0 points1 point ago

This .gif actually scared me the first run through. I thought some sick bastard shot that poor dog

[–]XplodingTACO 1 point2 points ago

Does anyone have the video this came from?

[–]zop1o 0 points1 point ago

nedm?

[–]Calm_Harvest 0 points1 point ago

this would be even better if it made that screaming noise the brown dudes from doom make when they die

[–]SardonicallyLaconic[!] 0 points1 point ago

Mouselook?!

[–]Volterion 0 points1 point ago

[–]darkmoo 0 points1 point ago

[–]shockfyre 0 points1 point ago

It was actually a Pinky Demon in disguise.

[–]entireties 0 points1 point ago

I'm sorry, but this is just... morbid.

[–]duqq 2 points3 points ago

Now do it with a cat.

[–]OrangeRiver 5 points6 points ago

Cat won't come when you call it.

[–]bdams19 -2 points-1 points ago

this is terrible

[–]Johnsu -2 points-1 points ago

Hi, this is PETA. Do you have a moment?

[–]T0MBRAIDER -2 points-1 points ago

I don't remember that from the movie.

[–]mcqueeb 0 points1 point ago

I started cracking up on the second loop.

The first loop, my mind was "Ooh a dog! Wait, what?"

[–]r1y23 -2 points-1 points ago

PETA is gonna LOOOOOVE this.
