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.

Said no veteran ever

[–]Fidena 35 points36 points ago

Pretty much every WW2 veteran account I've heard doesn't talk of killing people too favorably. They'll tell you about the people they knew, where they went, what battles they fought. But when it's the actual combat it gets hard to talk about.

[–]fade_like_a_sigh 14 points15 points ago

Soldiers back in those days didn't have any of the desensitisation training used now in the modern military.

I remember reading a combat report that 3 out of 5 soldiers couldn't bring themselves to pull the trigger on another person. 1 out of 5 would miss on purpose.

Most of us aren't made to kill other people without being broken down first. I can't imagine any WW2 veteran talking fondly about any part of that mess.

[–]CakeSmasher 1 point2 points ago

To be fair though, you were drafted back then. Nowdays, you aren't drafted.

[–]willworkforicecream 7 points8 points ago

Except Patton.

[–]pets_are_unimportant 0 points1 point ago

I used to work in the Post Office. Lots of Vietnam vets there, and it's the opposite for them. They still have that "I went in there to kick some ass" attitude, the former Marines I mean.

    [–]qwertypoiuyguy 11 points12 points ago

    Except OP, who admitted that this never happened.

    Unless it did happen and he lied to make people think he was honest.

    [–]TheDarkSunglasses 1 point2 points ago

    I think OP is nice guy, He fessed up to the people here, Honesty and being anon rarely mix.

    [–]CTypo 1 point2 points ago

    I've actually never done this. But I enjoy this pic though, even though it's constantly reposted and isn't something an actual vet would ever say.

    [–]Sir_Dino 11 points12 points ago

    Said no one ever.

    [–]ExplodingUnicorns 3 points4 points ago

    Everyone keeps bitching about reposts... yet here they are with over a thousand upvotes, every. single. time.

    [–]varietygamer 3 points4 points ago

    I know this is just gaming, but whatever I can't help myself.

    Of the 16 million german men who saw active duty in ww2, only 180,000 were part of the nazi party's military arm, the waffen ss aka nazis in uniform. A further 200,000 came from other axis states, primarily eastern europe (poland, ukraine, etc).

    The vast majority of these chaps were based in and around germany, and the eastern front where the wehrmacht saw 80% of its armed commitment during the war years vs the soviet union.

    So, unless he was a soviet soldier storming the gates of berlin or participating in operation bagration/stalingrad/kursk, he probably killed very few, if any nazis.

    The vast majority of german and axis troops in ww2 were just that, unaffiliated conscripts. For example are all US troops registered members of the US democratic party? The republican party? No. The vast majority ain't members of shit, as citizens they represent and fight for their country.

    [–]trammer_bammer 2 points3 points ago

    Grandpa - I killed that guy, and that guy....

    Why is this on the front page.... sigh.

    [–]Alexij 2 points3 points ago

    Since when someone would say that "Killing people" is fun? Does not count serial killers.

    [–]bridgeventriloquist 3 points4 points ago

    Since videogames?

    [–]Djsoundwave 2 points3 points ago

    Wait, you expect me to believe he can play World at War on the Xbox without getting into a hacked lobby?

    [–]benster56 1 point2 points ago

    We should be able to report reposts, even if that means having barely any content. Maybe the limit is two weeks?

    [–]anhero23 0 points1 point ago

    [–]Twitch-the-god 0 points1 point ago

    I didnt know Lt. Aldo Raine was still alive

    [–]ChrisBerman 1 point2 points ago

    I'm too lazy to create a meme...

    But am I the only one around here who has a Grandpa that was terrorized all of his life by what he saw on the front-lines?

    [–]Swichblade 1 point2 points ago

    I'm not sure, my grandfather did not seem terrorized at all. I never talked with him about his service, though. So you are the only one out of us two.

    [–]Joshh967 1 point2 points ago

    are you even trying anymore, reddit?

    [–]Danielcdo 1 point2 points ago

    Too bad they were not nazis , they were just soldiers fighting for the nazis.

    I have a German Grandfather, I will never know this feeling.

    [–]pockets817 1 point2 points ago

    My grandfather fought in Korea. I'll never be able to play a video game he can relate to.

    [–]Sebas852 0 points1 point ago

    Why the fuck people keep upvoting this shit?

    [–]SolidSmurf 0 points1 point ago

    my grandpa also killed alot of guys, but he was german so i cant make fun of it

    [–]Lavarocked 0 points1 point ago

    You played world at war with someone who was alive during WWII?

    I couldn't even stand to play that game's campaign with myself. It was just too stupid. I felt like an idiot for playing it.

    It was like living inside a WWII propaganda poster.

    It left such a bad taste in my mouth. The original Call of Duty was primitive but it made war seem brutal, unjust, and scary. World at War was this bizarre shit-grinning prance through Asia and Europe that didn't admit for a second what it really was.

    I would never play that game with anyone like a grandparent.

    [–]xelested 0 points1 point ago

    A post that breaks the first fucking rule of the subreddit is sitting on 8000 upvotes. Are you blind or something?

    [–]l0n3s0ld13r -1 points0 points ago

    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.

    Come the fuck on people, its the first rule!

    [–]arghnard 0 points1 point ago

    Can't get the picture of Brad Pitt as Aldo Raine saying, "Killin' Nazis!" out of my head.

    [–]DragonTycoon 1 point2 points ago

    And with the 4 year-old repost, D4NG33RCL0S3 [OP], has entered Faggotry

    [–]Silmar01 -4 points-3 points ago

    I hate to stop the Fun here, but I doubt your Grandfather actually killed any real "Nazis", most propably Members of the German Wehrmacht, common Soldiers, like my beloved late Grandfather used to be. A brave Man, who got pulled into the War much too early in his Life and had to spend his young Years in the toughest Shit ever, including a Soviet PoW-Camp from which he returned in 1949. But thanks anyway for having fun killing him.

    [–]Duraace 1 point2 points ago

    this is such a repost. that or your grandfather saw it and re-told the joke to you. but come on, you're not playing world at war.

    [–]KyleShaw1234 2 points3 points ago

    Haven't had this much fun reading this meme since reading this meme

    [–]rodut -1 points0 points ago

    Haha! Murder.

    [–]Hernan-Crespo 1 point2 points ago

    OP is a faggot once more.

    [–]Expected_More 0 points1 point ago

    Somehow I don't think that killing Nazis was "fun" for your "Grandfather".

    [–]firekow -4 points-3 points ago

    "shit I pretend my grandfather says to get karma"

    Downvote all you like, but it's a repost of someone else's meme from months ago. EG: http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/3pwt1o/

    [–]supergai 3 points4 points ago

    Wait, you actually think they intended you to think that it was real? things like this are just jokes.

    [–]firekow -1 points0 points ago

    The point isn't that this meme isn't based off OP's grandfather, it's that OP didn't even make it. The joke was a reference to "shit my dad says", another obvious fake.

    [–]MrGelowe -3 points-2 points ago

    I am pretty sure he would have much more fun killing Nazis in MoH.
