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.

This should be the top comment every time I find this thread reposted.

You'd think enough people would have seen it to just downvote it into oblivion

Keltushadowfang you missed mine! Which was the first to be posted.

I enjoy seeing posts like this if only to show me how long it's been since I've browsed a particular subreddit. I haven't seen this, so it's likely been two months since my last stay at r/gaming. Neat.

Thank you for doing justice. I flipped shit when I clicked this link.

[–]flutterforever 1 point2 points ago

I definitely prefer the posts where the title is the name of the post not the punch line. Remember that whoever reposts this next month.

That batman, he's so hot right now.

Where's Adam Jensen in all of this?

Oh, that's right. You can't see him because he's cloaked, in a corner eating energy bars.

[–]meatwad420 15 points16 points ago

Adam is not even paying attention to the scuffle, he is too busy hacking lvl 4 computer to get the Nigerian emails.

[–]HighbrowIdiot 16 points17 points ago

He would have been there, he just never asked for this.

[–]Stratty88 1 point2 points ago

You figure as many times as this has been reposted, it could have been updated.

[–]JonDev 6 points7 points ago

If I had a penny for every time I've seen this posted on Reddit, I'd have about 8-10 pennies right now.

This is the true hierarchy/food chain of stealth takedowns.

[–]zanhoshi -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Considering that the universes in which these characters work vary in level of reality, the actual order should be: Spy (because that wouldn't fool any of the above heroes), Batman (Sam Fisher has black ops government agencies backing him up during each mission, while Batman must consult his Batcave for data), then Sam Fisher (because Altair has Fate and cannot be stopped). Solid Snake wouldn't be participating because he's too busy hunting down the latest Metal Gear.

[–]Piemonkey 21 points22 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You know Batman has dealt with people of Sam's caliber and more before, right? He's taken out superpowered specops teams from other dimensions. There's only so much a few intelligence people backing you up over a communicator can do when you're up against a guy who can basically make demigods shake in their boots. Even Altair's fate thing is piddly compared to more than a few DC villains.

[–]zanhoshi 2 points3 points ago

Okay, so maybe the Christopher Nolan Batman then.

[–]OtterBohr 2 points3 points ago

Or that Batman from the start of the movie wearing hockey pants.

[–]talk_about 1 point2 points ago

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

It appears the Spy has found his deity. Pronounce it holy despite its reluctance to show itself. All the qualifications for a religion seems to be there. I'm in on worshipping Batman's nipples.

Where's Agent 47?

[–]thewolfcastle 0 points1 point ago

First thought that came to my mind too.

Seventh panel: Batman turns around to discover that Garrett has taken all his stuff.

This has GOT to be the most reposted comic in r/gaming

[–]moose_man 1 point2 points ago

He didn't even know it was a Spy

[–]ZipperLove 3 points4 points ago

Saw improper choke technique. OCD kicked in. Lost interest in comic.

[–]GirthMallet 2 points3 points ago

Exactly. Batman is the only one in position to do anything even remotely efficient.

[–]vetoowndme 4 points5 points ago

Read "No Thanks" in Kevin Conroy's voice. I also heard the "!" sound effect in my head when Old Snake was taken down.

[–]Skulljoint 2 points3 points ago

Is it possible for batman to ever suck?

[–]heylookoverthere 11 points12 points ago

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

He's more of a giver.

[–]Skulljoint 1 point2 points ago

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

By breaking a ton of legs as a hobby?

[–]zanhoshi 1 point2 points ago

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

He breaks the legs of those on their way to Take, thus increasing the ambient give-ness of the city, thus making him a Giver.

[–]Skulljoint 0 points1 point ago

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

Sometimes i think he has a passion for breaking legs, especially after reading The Dark Knight Returns. Relevant

[–]zanhoshi 1 point2 points ago

It's his Judo-gone-bad fighting style! Or is it that lesson he learned in a Russian prison from an old man that "Man is like pyramida but inverted..." I dunno, man. After a while all those stories run together.

[–]Another_by_Gin 1 point2 points ago

Read All-Star Batman and Robin, or as it is called in the comic shops, AS(S)BAR.

Main character of Syphon Filter, IIRC.

This is kind of like what playing Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is like.

Who the hell was the first guy?

And why do none of them know the correct way to do a choke? It looks like they're choking with one arm and tickleing their nipples with the other.

[–]Cermo 0 points1 point ago

The part of Robin will be played by Eddie Deezen.

[–]WarPhalange 0 points1 point ago

There is no fucking way that Solid Snake would be snuck up on. Batman is cool and all, but Snake just mops the floor with him.

Also, why are Snake and Batman both blue? I know Batman used to have a blue outfit, but Snake?

[–]ExternalInfluence 0 points1 point ago

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

Bitch, shut the fuck up. Sam Fisher would gut Solid Snake alive on a bad day.

[–]WarPhalange 0 points1 point ago

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

Sam Fischer runs around with flashlights on his fucking head like an idiot. Go suck his dick somewhere else.

[–]ExternalInfluence 0 points1 point ago

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

You're sadly mistaking inferred/sonar enable goggles that allow him to see through walls for flashlights.

[–]WarPhalange 0 points1 point ago

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

Snake doesn't need that. He just needs a pack of cigarettes.

[–]ExternalInfluence 0 points1 point ago

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

Neither does Fisher. But you know, why not?

To everyone who loves reposting shit like this: look at the signature at the bottom, if it says anything other than (c)2011 DO NOT POST IT. We've seen this so many times that it stopped being funny.

[–]TacticusThrowaway 0 points1 point ago

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

NOPE.

[–]ExternalInfluence 0 points1 point ago

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

Reposted for the thousandth time.

Anyway, Sam Fisher should have won that. Sam Fisher is the shit.

I think this is the original but I saw an edited version where batman's text was erased. That version is much better.

[–]rickinyorkshire 1 point2 points ago

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

Yea I agree it would be better without the text from Batman.

[–]disabledchipmunk -1 points0 points ago

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

I swear there was an uncropped/bigger version of this, where you could see the next person approaching in each frame? Don't have a link though...

Also; Punchline. Title. Don't.

[–]sje46 3 points4 points ago

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

Also; Punchline. Title. Don't.

Did "no thanks" actually give it away?

Just because it was in the last panel doesn't mean it was the punch line.

The punchline was that Robin was a spy, and Batman knew it.

I don't mean to sound like a dick, but please use common sense. The punchline is where the humor comes from. "No thanks" isn't where the humor came from.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Not sure, this gets reposted about twice a month.

[–]Piemonkey 0 points1 point ago

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

I'm pretty sure this was the original. Unless there was a prior sketch version out there as some webcomics have.

[–]Michichael 0 points1 point ago

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

There is. In fact there was like 50 of the "Fixed" types the last time this chain was reposted.

[–]xector -1 points0 points ago

Snake should be the last one left

ooooohhhoo, except the first guy minding his own business and being cool, they're all dime-a-dozen backstabbing scumbags, like you.
