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.

It looks like he just wanted to give him the ax, but then accidentally killed him.

[–]vinfx 1 point2 points ago*

That's why he's so deadly. He makes his enemy believe he's no threat then BAM. He lobs off their head with his mighty ax of vengeance.

Do you think if a robber (who had second thoughts about robbing you in the first place) approached you, and you had ten birds wielding toy axes at your feet, would he change his mind?

What in the fuck does this have to do with gaming?

[–]kcman011 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The title is a play on Mortal Kombat, a popular game in the 90s. The bird used his 'finishing move' on the unsuspecting opponent. It's more relevant than lots of other things I've seen in r/gaming. It is also not a 'generic' image, as Gobizku attempted to use the no-'forced' connection rule to rule against it.

Edit: to point out the flaw in Gobizku's argument.

[–]Gobizku 0 points1 point ago*

So because it's a gif and not a still-image, it can bypass the rules where the clear intention of the rule is to prevent this exact situation?

I don't think you actually believe that for a second, you're playing devil's advocate at this point.

Edit: I don't know why I even let you get me hung up on the image part when that was just an example given. It clearly states the link/post body must be gaming related when it clearly isn't and that isn't limited to just images. There really is nothing further you could say to defend your point.

[–]kcman011 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No, I just saw the title, clicked the link and saw a bird take down an action figure with an ax, and thought 'that's Mortal Kombat-worthy' and went on about my reddit browsing.

[–]Gobizku 0 points1 point ago

Right and that content has nothing to do with gaming yet is on the top of the gaming board.

I come to r/gaming to see stuff related to gaming, not as a r/gifs or r/funny substitute.

Um, it's right there to the right, plain as day.

If no one had gotten the connection it would not have front-paged, oh well, fun while it lasted.

[–]fed0ra -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

There isn't a connection. You saying there's a connection doesn't make it so. It is cute and amusing, but not gaming related. Keep this in /r/aww or /r/pics.

As a side note, RES just tried to autocorrect "/r/pics" to "/r/PicsOfHorseDicks". Why do we have this?

[–]crapidrawatwork[S] -1 points0 points ago

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

It was connected to Mortal Kombat and everyone got it, it wasn't vague. Horse dicks?

[–]fed0ra -1 points0 points ago

Yes, Horse dicks.
