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.

"So Pablo Sanchez, what language do you speak?" -Coach

tl;dr

Pablo is Dominican.

[–]berychance 20 points21 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

But he's also good at soccer, hockey, basketball, and skateboarding. So he must be a Dominican-Canadian who grew up in Brazil before moving to the inner city.

Dominican's are always good "secret weapons".. Too good at everything.

Not rolling cigars

If you think they are bad at rolling cigars, you should see them try and roll crepes. That's not good for anyone.

You didn't tell me they were actual CUBANS!

Being Dominican I approve of this message.

[–]Dsch1ngh1s_Khan 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I feel obligated to ask you this then, do you have an idea why Pablo's pitching abilities might not be up there with everything else? Not to say it's bad, but it just seems there's something in specific holding him back...

[–]airbr1dge 1 point2 points ago

He's short. Most Dominicans I know are not very tall people. Then again I'm only half Dominican. Maybe balance?

For those who don't know, the game is Backyard Baseball.

Seriously, just get in the habit of putting the name of your nostalgia game somewhere. Being in-the-know is nice only if you're in the know. Everyone else just gets annoyed.

Kenny, Pablo, weird red head kid and the Delvechios always on my team.

[–]thehydrastation[S] 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Had to have Kenny at the mound.

Wheeler to steal bases like a inbred jackrabbit.

Keisha for her all around game and sassy attitude.

[–]PossiblyTheDoctor 4 points5 points ago

I have an inbred jackrabbit, I completely know what this means.

Pablo was a boss. I wonder if he went on to the majors.

[–]r314yer 7 points8 points ago

I played the absolute dick off the sequel to this game. The one with a few extra child versions of MLB players and a whole bunch of MLB teams. Seeing this kid on my screen, knowing that he has saved my ass so many god damn times its unbelievable, has given me an overwhelmingly confusing and somewhat unsettling erection.

[–]UnrealPineapple 6 points7 points ago

I never bought the real game. I just played the Cereal Box version. I never lost with Pablo. If the other team picked him, I would quit and restart until I got him

I LOVED THIS GAME. Does anyone know where I could download it? I tried looking for it once but could never find it.

[–]ask_jeeves 2 points3 points ago

Well, fuck, I'm officially old. I have no idea what game this is.

[–]WolfDemon 2 points3 points ago

relevant username, as ask jeeves didn't seem to know anything as a search engine

[–]kyute222 3 points4 points ago*

hey old man, one way to find out what game a certain picture is from is to go to google images and just drag the picture on top of the search bar.

[–]modestrock 1 point2 points ago

I always felt like I was being the good guy bringing on the young non English speaker to my team. (of course I knew he was the best) but I balanced it out by always licking the wheelchair kid too haha. Great game.

Edit: picking*

...fuck

Wheeler best lead off by far, Pablo and Keisha following him. The twins and Kenny gosh so many fun memories!!This was one of my favorite child hood games!!

[–]dontreadme 0 points1 point ago

I was all about backyard football. Pablo was in it too, and he was one of the best there too, conspiracy?

Ironically, he was one of the weaker characters in Backyard Soccer though

[–]CygnusVismundCygnus 0 points1 point ago

He was just as good in Backyard Football.

This is exactly how I think if your Spanish either dominican or puerto rican your automatically the best player in the team. Not to be a stereotype but these people sleep, breathe and live on baseball.

[–]Valhalla89 -1 points0 points ago
