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.

Congratulations to you for making it to SRS. Do like I did, accept your new status with pride and thank them directly in the comments for the honor then sit back and laugh when you get banned from SRS moments later.

I have to stay away from that subreddit, at least until I finally start reading the books. So many self inflicted spoilers because my curiosity makes me hover my mouse over spoiler tags ಠ_ಠ .

Edit: God damn you and your spoiler tags!

The worst type of spoilers.... and this happens a lot in GOT.

[–]SuTvVoO 4 points5 points ago

There is no cure.

[–]SnowSC2 10 points11 points ago

Except for fish pie, however even when he dies it's so anit-climactic that it's not satisfying at all.

[–]robotictoast 11 points12 points ago

Really?He claws his own throat out and suffers to his death. I was pretty satisfied.

[–]SnowSC2 3 points4 points ago

oh yeah i guess thats true, I was hoping for something more severe though. Cersei being walked through the city naked was pretty refreshing.

[–]project343 4 points5 points ago

GRRM is the king of shitting all over expectations. It's what makes the books so great.

Were you expecting some valiant knight to come in, like Robb, and stab him in the throat after weeks of war? I actually think it's one of the most satisfying deaths in the book because it's so unexpected, and then you figure out what really happened..

If you want the more traditional, boring, predictable fantasy, there are plenty of alternatives, I assure you.

[–]tordana 3 points4 points ago

THE FOLLOWING IS SERIOUSLY A SPOILER. LIKE SERIOUSLY.

Even with everyone else GRRM killed off, I was super surprised when Jon got stabbed and possibly died at the end of the most recent book. Like wtf?

[–]iamagainstit 2 points3 points ago

John had already demonstrated his ability to transfer his consciousnesses to Ghost. The Red priests have already been shown as able to reanimate a dead body. My guess is that his mind will transfer over to Ghost, Melisandre will reserect his body with the kiss of life thing, and he will be able to transfer back, but in his death he will be freed from his obligations to the Watch.

[–]Tashre 1 point2 points ago

GRRM likes to toy with his readers' emotions. While this normally comes in the form of killing off major or well liked characters, he also gets his rocks off by stringing people along extremely vague and hazy plot lines, and that particular character had far too much potential in that regard for him to just throw it away just yet. While I wouldn't put it past Martin to just kill that character off outright, I don't see him wasting the opportunity to piss off his readers in many more ways by keeping them alive for the time being (even just "alive").

[–]iPuntMidgets 1 point2 points ago

WHY DID I READ THAT.

Also, it takes a good author to make a character such as Joffrey. Theres lots of characters like Arya and Bran, whom we love, in other books. But its hard to make a character that readers absolutely love to hate. Thats why i love reading GRRM.

[–]KingBee 0 points1 point ago

He's not dead. His body might be but Jon Snow isn't dead. The first chapter of the book about the wildling warg's POV was included for a reason ;)

[–]Apooche 1 point2 points ago

I predicted this before reading book 5, as my friend who was reading it at the time reminded me when I finished, although I forgot by the time I read the book. But if you think about it, this had to happen. How does the plot get epic and shitty by the end without this?

[–]oftenlygetscatraped 0 points1 point ago

I think we need to start saying which book the spoiler is from.

I thought I was pretty safe, now I am going to smash my head against things for a while to forget this.

[–]DUmpy-Pillow -1 points0 points ago

I know- i finished the book a few days ago and i've been dwelling on this. I think that If john is banished beyond the wall, bran will become evil (Because we know that the Other Melisandre talks about are the old gods, right?) and begin living through his brothers skin. Or, if Jon survives and reclaims the wall it will be him, melisandre and Dany vs the others. I know it sounds just too simple, but it could happen.
Of course if he dies, which seems most likely, then I have no fucking idea.

[–]iamagainstit 1 point2 points ago

I have a question. So from my reading I got that It was the Tyrell's that had Joffery killed, with planning from Peter Balish yet later Tyrion says he did it, is that because after everything else, he just doesn't care anymore?

[–]ragman95 0 points1 point ago

yes.

[–]AngryScientist 0 points1 point ago

You really have to look at who he was talking to there. The first person Tyrion "confesses" to is his brother, after he finds out that that his wife wasn't actually a whore and that Jaime not only didn't "buy" her, he's been lying about it for years. Tyrion clearly meant for the confession as a fuck you, but the joke's on him: Jaime didn't give two shits about Joffrey.

[–]brambleperro 1 point2 points ago

SPOILERS FOR THE BOOK SERIES "A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE" HERE

Gurm actually makes a great deal of this theme in which characters create their own versions of past events throughout Affc and Adwd, which is that they repeat things so often that the people around them as well as they themselves begin to believe that events actually transpired in a certain way. Tyrion telling everyone that he is a kingslayer is one very important one, and another is that Sansa repeatedly thinks of her last encounter with Sandor Clegane. Whenever she thinks of this event, she believes that The Hound kissed her before leaving, though he did not. The point is that the history of events can be shaped and molded by players of The Game into whatever they want us believe that it is. This all comes full circle with Aegon.

Affc and Adwd are all about repetition. Bitches love repetition.

Join us over at /r/asoiaf for some great in-depth discussion of the books. There are some wonderful theories and speculations to be had.

[–]Scrimpslol 6 points7 points ago

That's the beauty of the book, though.

Nothing would have made me more upset if it were true. Nothing. I hate that character with the fury of a thousand suns.

Rather him than Joffery

[–]iamagainstit 0 points1 point ago

really? I guess he is less pathetic in the books

[–]robotictoast 0 points1 point ago

Hot Pie is my very least favorite character in the books. He is extremely pathetic. It took all my might not to flat out skip paragraphs where he opened his fucking mouth.

[–]CJEEC_Studios 1 point2 points ago

Just enjoy the journey; stories aren't about the ending anyway.

I'm currently on Clash of Kings. I'm leaving this thread.

I got the entire box set a couple weeks ago from amazon for £30 (roughly $50) its definitely worth the money.

[–]SonicFlash01 -2 points-1 points ago

Yeah those guys can be real dicks about spoilers... I typically unsubscribe to any TV show subreddit after the season's finished

[–]not-a-penguin 2 points3 points ago

I prefer /r/asoiaf, for those who've read the books.

[–]dome210 2 points3 points ago

I'm halfway through Game of Thrones. Probably the best fantasy book I've ever read. I can't wait to pick up A Clash of Kings.

[–]MisterRoger 0 points1 point ago

[–]bigpacman11 46 points47 points ago

Never played it, but WC3 is probably my favorite game that I have played

[–]stephangb 1 point2 points ago

You should play it. Seriously. I've both (AoE and W3) disks, and all I can say is, if you liked W3 you should play AoE.

[–]flavasava 0 points1 point ago

Cool, I might get it some time. I see it's only $10 on Amazon.

[–]Ol_Lefteye 45 points46 points ago

By area, the gaming content of this image is a mere 1/4. This does not belong in /r/gaming.

[–]Teslanaut -2 points-1 points ago

But LOTR and GOT have games. Don't know if they're fun or not, but they exist.

[–]Moncole 11 points12 points ago

But those screens are not from the games.

[–]ExplainsYourJoke 5 points6 points ago

Well real life has people, and some video games include people, so i guess any pictures of people are gaming related then, right?

But in all seriousness, that is a picture from the movie. If it was a screenshot from the game, it would be game related, but it isn't, so it isn't.

[–]Teslanaut 3 points4 points ago

What about pictures of cosplay that appear on /r/gaming?

[–]LeonardNemoysHead 3 points4 points ago

They don't belong here either.

[–]ExplainsYourJoke 1 point2 points ago

Then they're dressed as a video game character, and not a movie character.

[–]Teslanaut 4 points5 points ago

How do you distinguish between the two? What if they're dressed as Lara Croft? Or a Storm Trooper?

[–]ExplainsYourJoke -2 points-1 points ago

Lara croft is from a video game, so she is video gaming related. Storm troopers are from a movie, so they aren't video game related unless a direct connection is drawn between between the storm trooper and a specific video game.

[–]Teslanaut 5 points6 points ago

They're not both just from movies or video games. They're in both. Or are you saying that whichever they're in first or whatever they are recognized as more is what is chosen?

[–]ExplainsYourJoke -1 points0 points ago

Well, by the strictest definition, yes, it depends on which came first. In the case of Tomb Raider, it is a series of video games, and the movie is considered a video game based movie. Whereas in the case of star wars, it was a movie that influenced a line of video games. In the former, both the video game and movie are video game related, while in the latter, the video games were video game related, yet not the movie. And since OP's image contains a screenshot of the movie, rather than a screenshot of the game, a direct connection can only be tied to the movie, which is not video game related, rather than the game. In the case of cosplay, yes i realize that there is some ambiguity, but a stormtrooper is more iconic to the franchise as a whole rather than the video games, and the franchise is more often identified with the movies as opposed to any games, so it would be better suited for a star wars subreddit. But this entire argument has been about justification of content, and if there is a need for justification in the first place, the connection may just be too tenuous to be allowed in the subreddit.

Man, the Witch King was the real bitch king. Think about it. Whenever he was on that big dragon thing, he kicked ass with that screech and everything. As SOON as he falls off, he's stabbed by a hobbit and then KILLED BY A GIRL.

I read the books a long time before the show came out so every time he was being a brat I would just think I know how you die and it is sweet and beautiful. So he never really bothered me by the time the show came around. But reading the books was harder because he is much meaner in the books.

[–]WarJunkie 4 points5 points ago

On the otherhand, the actor who played Joffery is a nice kid. He deserves a Oscar for the ability to give us so much hatred on a villain due to his cruelty. Many villains are awesome because of their cruelty.
