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.

Everytime I see this poster, I have to mention that the Gamecube controller may be the best controller made. The buttons were each characteristically different so it was simpler to feel for the correct button; the joysticks were placed where the thumbs naturally lay when gripping; and the main joystick had the notches so you knew when you were pushing it in the main 8 directions.

The BatterUP is most appropriately named.

Why are all the controllers really well drawn accurate pictures, except for all the playstation dualshock controllers. They all look weird.

TERRIBLE. Why is the dreamcast not tied to the WiiU?

Wow... missing tons. Steel battalion, Microsoft had one of the first motion sensor joysticks (sidewinder freestyle) I loved the dual strike (fps joystick) I whooped ass in quake II (action quake mod), Just to name a few.
