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

Why? It's simple, it's easy, and there's a payoff.

Idk why so much ire for angry birds. It's cheap good natured throw away entertainment. It's worth a buck.

[–]AverageHero[!] -4 points-3 points ago

Yea honestly. I mean I saw a kid have an angry birds themed party. ಠ_ಠ

[–]skaterape 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, I mean, it's cool to have Mario and Zelda themed weddings for 30 something year olds and shit, but when a little kid has a fucking Angry Birds birthday party? Fuck that shit.

[–]GrowingSoul 2 points3 points ago

The hypocrisy you have to love. Think of how much adults scoffed at the stuff we were into when we were kids, like Ninja Turtles and Mario. Difference here is Angry Birds has penetration across all ages and walks of life. I was sitting in a hair salon waiting for my girlfriend to have her hair done when I hear some average middle aged woman playing Angry Birds.

Your ''angry bird'' has evolved he is now a .''mega pissed don't fuck with me bird''!

All that blur sure makes this artwork look less shitty!

Oh wait. No it doesn't.

[–]gillesv 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This drawing is in no way "shitty". You must have no taste or sense of what is a good drawing.

The blur wasn't necessary, but adds a certain dynamic.

[–]Tacticalpigeon 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think the blur was totally necessary... Without it the piece would look unfinished (NOT in a million years "shitty" lol, I agree) mostly because the face is rendered so much more then the rest of the image.. Which may be what Cerp was trying to say in his own douchey kind of way.

[–]gillesv 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Sure, it just bothered me a bit that Reddit gets its fair share of Redditor drawings that really do look like shit, but get nothing but praise because they portay something Reddit related.

Then an actual good drawing gets posted, and immediately gets flack.

Oh and even without the blur, it would look better than 90% of the work that gets posted.

[–]CerpinTaxes 1 point2 points ago

Pretty much yeah, he's using gratuitous blurring to cover up the fact he couldn't be bothered to finish the painting.

By the looks of things this guy is a competent artist (maybe). He just really phoned this in.

[–]gillesv 0 points1 point ago

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

how can you even doubt the fact that he is competent? Get of your high horse, man. Seriously.

[–]CerpinTaxes 1 point2 points ago

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

I'm not saying he is or he isn't competent. I said it looks like he is competent, but I could be wrong, it's not easy to tell from one doodle.

Also competence is pretty relative depending on whether you are a professional artist or not.

Some people think that shit they find on deviant art is the best art they've ever seen, which from an industry perspective looks awful.

I tend to judge artwork on an absolute scale, not trying to be conceited but standards have to be high so I don't lose perspective. I can't stand molly coddling of artists.

But then I realize this is probably not the time or place.

[–]CerpinTaxes 0 points1 point ago

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

It is shitty. It's a blurry mess used to cover up the fact that this guy only rendered the face and botched the rest of it.

This is the corel painter equivalent of covering your picture in lens flares to hide your lack of drawing ability and/or effort. 90% of this picture is blur effect and it completely ruins the picture.

He even copy-pasted the shell casings then rotated them as can be seen by the inconsistent light source.

But to be honest I think this is just an artists quick doodle to amuse himself.

[–]gillesv 1 point2 points ago

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

Of course it's a rather quick doodle. Why would you judge it otherwise?

You have a skewed definition of shitty. But please, enlighten me and link us to some not shitty drawings that are made as seemingly effortless and quick as this one.

Also, lens flares are on a whole different scale of crappyness and are not comparable with this.

Note lastly, that the blur, while it is an easy way to hide undetailed areas, might even be there to convey the illusion of heat that comes from the flames on the bottom.

Aah, arguing over the internet :)

[–]CerpinTaxes 0 points1 point ago

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

I just think it's a pretty cheap trick to use that much blur and this picture could have been a lot better without it.

I know what you're saying about the flames but it doesn't change the fact that most of this picture is a smear. It's like painting a picture that is mostly black and saying "It's a painting of the inside of a cave! I could have painted something awesome there but It's more fitting this way!"

I think this could definitely have been not shitty, if he didn't shitty-fy it with all the blur. That's all I'm sayin.

[–]burningrobot 0 points1 point ago

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

As an artist, I agree. It looks like shit with the blur. Obviously it draws your focus to the face, the most rendered area of the piece. But if you look at the piece as a whole, it's obnoxious and demonstrates a lack of effort in the rest of the drawing.
