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.

"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.

Alright now all we have to do is reply with quotes from the movie for easy karma, right?

Grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. How's that for a slice of fried gold?

I just started rereading the whole series.

I'm wondering how many people are going to get this reference and what percentage of those that do know it from the book compared to the comic.

[–]mcchubby 3 points4 points ago

There was a comic?

[–]reahidru 0 points1 point ago

That's what I wanted to hear. But yeah, there's quite a few actually.

[–]ReptarMadness 2 points3 points ago

Cool! I read the DT series but had no idea they made comics. Are they basically a re-telling of the story or are they completely different?

Could just play Carnivores and get the same effect. Right?

One's made by Bioware, one's made by Rockstar, and the template is made by Pixar... I'm sorry, but how the fuck does THAT make sense?

[–]Wazowski 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Toy Story introduced those unique archetypes... "cowboy" and "space adventurer". Because they both exist in the same movie universe, Bioware and Rockstar decided both archetypes could also exist in video games. This image ties all that together. The world finally makes sense.

[–]cupids_hitman 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Not sure if serious or not, but Pixar wasn't the first to introduce cowboys and spacemen.

[–]Nightmaru 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's true mate, the folks at Rockstar site Pixar's Woody as their inspiration for John Marston and the imaginary world of West California and Mexico.

[–]Wazowski 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Toy Story is older than a lot of people realize. I personally can't think of any art before 1995 that used "cowboy" or "space ranger" type characters.

Are you serious? Have you not heard of the 1950's? or the 60's? Or any decades before or after that? There have been space rangers and cowboys in comic books, novels, etc for at least a hundred years. Am I not getting this, or what?

[–]Wazowski 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Those are more like "proto-cowboys". The archetype wasn't really solidified in the culture before John Lasseter and Pixar came along, which paved the way for video game writers to build on the fiction. Why else would "it all make sense now"? Otherwise this image would just be a hodgepodge of barely-related pop culture elements with a completely nonsensical headline attached to it... not exactly the kind of content that gets thousands of upvotes.

[–]Odusei 1 point2 points ago

Well now you've just showed your hand too much. Should have stayed more subtle.

[–]Wazowski 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If claiming that Pixar invented the cowboy and the space hero in 1995 is considered "subtle" then I'm surrounded by fucking morons.

Edit: That came out more harshly I intended. But seriously, people. Is it that hard to tell when someone is making fatuous comments?

[–]darthjt 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It was a poorly posted image. Cowboy and Space Ranger archetypes have been around since at LEAST the fifties.

Westerns were some of the first large production movies; it was easy to find people who lived through that era 100+ years ago, and in the American Southwest you're already shooting on location

[–]runtheplacered 0 points1 point ago

The best westerns were made in Italy. Just saying.

Yes, she is, but bringing it up every time we see the default Sheploo is just going to make her fans look obnoxious.
