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.

This kills the Gamecube.

That shit had a handle for swinging it at the nonbelievers.

I dropped mine down a longass flight of stairs. I still use it.

There's a video somewhere where they put the PS2, Xbox and gamecube in a "durability test". Gamecube broke in half at the end, and it won because it still worked.

I faintly remember this! Do you perhaps have a link?

I think this is it

EDIT Funny enough my PS2 seems more resistant than the one in the video. Had a CRT TV fall on it. Still works though today it has troubles with the blue discs.

That felt strangely 90's to me.

Why did technology from the 90s last forever? I had an old VCR player that fell at least six times, twice with the tv falling on it afterwards, and it worked fine. Now I've gone through three dvd players in the past two years because they stop working for no observable reason...

As long as it's turned off. Mine took the tiniest fall ever while playing THPS3, and never worked the same again.

How the hell do people get this stuff on the ride? I don't see how Disney would allow them to carry it on and i don't see how they could sneak it on..

I think it's photoshopped. That or they had after-hours connections with employees.

I looked at this for way too long wondering how they had a power source and also how the screen came out so clear.

Derp.

I've never heard those words put together that way. The first half. The second half, I've had to constantly kick out of my house.
