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.

That was me when I realised that the "Briarheart" in Skyrim ACTULLY had his heart removed and replaced with a Briar(flower?) http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7029/6580279081_4a2216ccbe.jpg

[–]Magnon 3 points4 points ago

The best is pulling out his heart, dropping it, then picking up up in the world and throwing it down a hill. He gets to die and his heart gets to roll away. :D

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I would never do that, there is honour amongst warriors. I will give him a "good death" and if one day I'm too old to win or someone bests me I expect the same. PS When I run into "old Orc" even tho' all my armour pieces put extra damage in bow I fight him with my dagger and shield, cause he deserves it.

[–]StabbyStix 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Is there only one of him? I decapitated him... I don't think that was such a good death for him. I was kind of hoping for more instances of him just to fight for fun.

[–]TrepanationBy45 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

How is that not a good death? He was bested in spectacular fashion by a superior warrior! Also, samurai decaps.

[–]StabbyStix 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I dunno. He died in the middle of nowhere to be forgotten. As if that wasn't bad enough his head had rolled down the side of the hill. It would have been better if he had lived to fight more glorious battles.

[–]TrepanationBy45 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

He died in the middle of nowhere because his ass was waiting in the middle of nowhere to engage in mortal komba combat. Pretty sure he went down exactly as he wished. Well, except the head rolling diligently down to the lowest point in Skyrim, maybe...

[–]StabbyStix 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah... some stray bear or sabercat is probably having sexy funtime in his eye sockets. Oh well, more exp for me.

There are more. They're randomized and theoretically infinite.

This post reminds me... Has anyone found Umbra yet?

[–]PriestmanX 1 point2 points ago*

According to lore umbra doesn't exist anymore. Her souls being used to power Umbranox the flying city

Edit for autocorrect and typo.

All technically correct.

[–]TheBranDingo 3 points4 points ago

Only the first boss. Link gets used to it.

[–]Thorse 6 points7 points ago

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

So is it Highlander style then? For every non-respawning enemy (usually just bosses) that Link kills, he absorbs their soul/power and strengthens his own? It makes him being a hero much less heroic when we realize he adds the powers of the dead to his own. Pretty fucked up.

[–]SkankinPacman 3 points4 points ago

There can only be one!

[–]curset 2 points3 points ago

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

If you think about it, he gets a heart container from bosses so technically he would take everything but the heart.

[–]morris858 2 points3 points ago

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

Where does he keep all the hearts?

[–]Dragonsoul 6 points7 points ago

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

In an appropriately shaped box

[–]Ruwn 1 point2 points ago

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

Yes yes it's a joke, but technically Link finds a heart container, so he would avoid this gruesome business.

[–]multiple_lobsters 1 point2 points ago

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

He's doing it all wrong. The fastest and easiest way would be to slice under the ribcage and reach about elbow-in to retrieve the heart.

I love video game comics. I don't know why but I just absolutely love all of them.

My favorite part of this comic was the "yay" at the end

[–]DrKushnstein 0 points1 point ago

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

I always wondered what happened if you didnt grab the heart, but i could never bring myself to do it.

[–]yetibutts 5 points6 points ago

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

You just go on your journey without the heart. Some people challenge themselves by not picking up ANY of the hearts.

[–]DrKushnstein 0 points1 point ago

Can you go back and get them?
