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.

God damn op... what a bitch. I guess he didn't claim it as his, but... what a bitch.

[–]Pally321 9 points10 points ago

The amount of faggotry radiating from OP is too strong!

[–]JeremyG 18 points19 points ago

Pepsi_next is a known reposter.

He is on the front page every day just by reposting.

[–]MBD123 3 points4 points ago

PEPSI NEXT DOESN'T EVEN TASTE GOOD!

[–]mrpineapplehouse 0 points1 point ago

I check his posts every day hoping to catch one like a minute after he posts to downvote and call him out but I always get there too late

[–]duchovny 8 points9 points ago

OP doesn't give credit for any of his reposts he finds on imgur which is probably well over 1000 submissions so far.

Is this a gif?! Because I could swear the red light is pulsating.

[–]mrpineapplehouse 1 point2 points ago

no, you're high

[–]thirdfounder 80 points81 points ago

a Reddit pumpkin carving competition has real potential.

[–]Eloth 60 points61 points ago

no

they would just invent time-travel to steal someone else's entry from last year

[–]thirdfounder 19 points20 points ago

probably, but one could at least use karmadecay.com to root out some of the fraud. and google image search to get others.

and that's presuming that we, you know, give any fucks at all about the metaphysical veracity of pumpkin carvings as opposed to just seeing some cool jack-o-lanterns.

While this is exactly what my post referred to, I now realise the time machine would also be a repost.

This is... a bad thing. Redditor X travels back in time to steal the pumpkin. Redditor Y posts the time machine to reddit. The time machine is reposted, whereupon Redditor X decides to build a time machine. He then uses this to repost pumpkins.

[–]Lochcelious 4 points5 points ago

My god, it's full of paradoxes...

[–]Deathhawk242 0 points1 point ago

Does a set of all sets contain itself?

[–]MuttinChops 0 points1 point ago

Huh, the more you know...

Side note, what is with the odd fixation with portal? I mean, I have been here for almost a year and I've noticed people are a bit overly obsessed with Portal 1 and Portal 2. I played it, enjoyed it very much, but that was about it. People are spending odd amounts of money just to recreate relic's from the game.

So in short, what is the deal?

[–]ItalianRapscallion 12 points13 points ago

people here love their video games; both portals were not only up there in the top very few games of all time, but have a really compelling universe to them, and loveable characters.. not to mention it's valve, everyone is waiting with clenched buttocks for Gaben's next move

[–]MuttinChops 2 points3 points ago

Not sure why you got down voted, but thanks for the insight.

I suppose it was for this part.

everyone is waiting with clenched buttocks for Gaben's next excretion

[–]ItalianRapscallion 1 point2 points ago

Haha I think ppl skimmed it too much and thought I was implying that gaben generates crap, which is the opposite of what I was saying; I was just going for an amusing metaphor

[–]MuttinChops -1 points0 points ago

If you had made it a pun it would have gotten at least 400 up votes, trust me.

[–]greyjackal 0 points1 point ago

You mean like being

pumped for whatever Gaben does next and can't wait to tell their kin?

/coat

[–]tadziobadzio 4 points5 points ago

or, you know, photo verification like they do on iama and the like.

[–]Brainles5 2 points3 points ago

But if you steal a pumpkin, it wont be able to win last year.

[–]Delaedreaction -1 points0 points ago

You would have to steal it the day after it won so you could, you know, know which one won anyways.

[–]ZwortniK 3 points4 points ago

Just have people include themselves and/or their user names in the photo.

[–]Eloth 1 point2 points ago

fuckin' time travellers

don't stop them

[–]deruke 2 points3 points ago

If you look at OP's history, he does nothing but submit reposts all day, every day.

[–]rozzzly 0 points1 point ago

The obvious and simple solution: require entries to have a sheet of paper with username and date.

[–]Highskore 0 points1 point ago

You think someone would do that?

Go on the internet and tell lies?

[–]Eloth 0 points1 point ago

no

I didn't even imply that

I thought they would build a fucking time machine.

[–]thatpaxguy 2 points3 points ago

They would all be either cats or memes. This sounds like an awful idea.

[–]LE_THAT_FOR_YOU -2 points-1 points ago

LE Reddit pumpkin carving competition has real potential.

[–]bitwize 31 points32 points ago

Kids: "Trick or treeeeeeeeat!"

Pumpkin: "Dispensing product."

[–]sig_kill 22 points23 points ago

"Are you still there?"

[–]4RC 3 points4 points ago

I just had a mental image of the pumpkin shooting candy out at nobody.

[–]sumdog 3 points4 points ago

I think you just made me purr out loud. Now everyone in this restaurant thinks I'm a cat in a human body. Now I have to keep acting like a cat so I don't look like a fool. Thanks!

I thought it was going to move... but it said gjf in the title and did not have a .gif extension.

[–]Jadex9 4 points5 points ago

Furthermore, do these people not read comments before they upvote, I HATE that this shit constantly gets pushed to the front of R/Gaming.

Along with weekly Portal cakes, or the " Look at this piece of 15 year old electronic gaming tech that I found in Auschwitz, or my grandma remembered was in the trunk of her great aunts home, or that I bought for .7 Cents at a garage sale!!! "

The mods around here are so busy sucking dick as mods, that they have no more time to suck dick as mods.

[–]atorpidmadness 3 points4 points ago

You just took something I want to smash then made it look like something I am conditioned to want to smash even more.

That is like putting Nicki Minaj in a Justin Bieber costume.

[–]brotherbond 1 point2 points ago

Are you still there?

[–]Tobi_Addams 2 points3 points ago

Are you still scared?

[–]Aesop_Rocks 3 points4 points ago

Did you make the legs out of an Erector set? Very cool!

[–]TKCerbs 11 points12 points ago

Don't bother asking this guy anything, he has 200 000 karma of reposts. The actual creator was Neil Fraser, a link to his site is here somewhere.

If this actually transformed from a pumpkin into the turret, it would be the most awesomest awesome thing in the whole world.

[–]kidbuu42 3 points4 points ago

So wheres the portal? Nice turret though!

[–]marshmallowbob 2 points3 points ago

If you're going to repost this for the tenth time, at least go and try to make your own version that is better.

[–]matus2442 1 point2 points ago

Is that an erector set?

[–]JesusChrist5 0 points1 point ago

Does it fire 60% more seed per seed? I THINK NOT!

[–]friendly-atheist 0 points1 point ago

Do the turrets fire the seeds? Because if they did, that would be awesome.

[–]Randy_Manimal 0 points1 point ago

Huh. Looks like Aperture outsources to Veridian Dynamics.

[–]lisabadcat 0 points1 point ago

Ok, so with that big power supply, it's gotta do more than just blink a few LEDs... Where is the movie?

That is awesome!

[–]jewboselecta 0 points1 point ago

Please tell me what the toys used to build the structure is called because I had it when I was young and loved it, but can't remember the name.

[–]Erilacity 0 points1 point ago

Not gonna lie, if I saw that I would freak out, and promptly take the awesome red LED lights. Sorry.

[–]Jadex9 1 point2 points ago

Oh look, its Portal again.

That's a lot of hard work for some kid to come by and smash the shit out of it...

[–]Atario 0 points1 point ago

Whoa, is that Erector stuff?

[–]Noshing 0 points1 point ago

I read the title as "Portalable Pumpkin" I thought, "Well this going to be cool?" and when I saw the picture, "I'm dumb...all pumpkins are portable but this one is...more portalable!"

Is it functional? Because I need one to put just outside of the kitchen. It should either work as a nice deterrent or make me eligible for a pretty substantial life insurance payout.
