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, did anyone here actually go to see Rampart? Did the accidental "bad press is still good press" work? I didn't see it, but also never heard of it before the incident.

[–]hsg11 22 points23 points ago

Wow, according to Rotten Tomatoes it opened 2/10 and has so far earned a whopping 400k at the box office. The DVD goes on sale in May, surely the mark of a blockbuster there...

[–]Darkofday 18 points19 points ago

According to imdb it didn't seem to do so hot.

[–]derpaherpa 48 points49 points ago

Oh, that movie is out? I hadn't heard anything about it since that AMA.

[–]NSAgent 68 points69 points ago

They used their entire marketing budget on reddit.

[–]jasmaree 41 points42 points ago

So, in other words, they had $0.

[–]MrBlahStrikesAgain 56 points57 points ago

They spent the rest of it suppressing rape allegations.

[–]Neebat 3 points4 points ago

Here's the truth: For doing that AMA, Woody got paid.

What are we all doing wrong?

[–]thatkenyan 5 points6 points ago

I guess you have to be desperate when the movie opens on 5 screens.

[–]Ultraseamus 2 points3 points ago

Eh. It was made on a low budget, with a limited release; and has made a little under half a million in under a month. Also seems to have been reviewed favorably.

I doubt the whole AMA thing did anything to hurt the movie. It probably preformed within expectations. I'll never see it, but that's just out of pure apathy.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

Oh wow. That did terribly.

[–]lookintomyeyestosee 5 points6 points ago

Didnt watch

[–]mthrndr 6 points7 points ago

I did. It was really fucking good, no joke.

[–]whoami9 3 points4 points ago

No, I read reviews first. I can't even be bothered to pirate it, that's how much it failed.

[–]Meekman 1 point2 points ago

Really? The reviews didn't seem that bad. They weren't great, but better than most.

[–]rheaume 2 points3 points ago

Yeah I know, its like saying HARHAR NICKELBACK SUXORS" but never even heard a note, pathetic.

[–]rheaume 2 points3 points ago

What... bad press?

You mean the 2second internet jerk-off joke where some fuckhead internet/agent told him "hey I heard about this site where people will ask you questions, itll be great promo for the movie" and then one of the first questions is about some dumb-ass teen he banged a million years ago?

Rotten Tomatoes has it at 73% positive reviews so really, non-existing marketing did this film in, hence why they were trying to do anything, even as desperate as taking random questions from internet commandos.

[–]Ultraseamus 0 points1 point ago

Wow, I had no idea it was out already.

[–]i_hate_lamp 0 points1 point ago

I honestly thought that it was painful to watch. It felt too forced.

[–]Cozmo23 695 points696 points ago

I really wanted to ask him if he remembered what he did at my prom.

[–]ShadyJane 81 points82 points ago

You think if he saw the video it would help him?

[–]feureau 40 points41 points ago

Well, it would incriminate him, if that helps...

[–]IAmAWhaleSexologist 20 points21 points ago

"Helps who?" is the question.

[–]zzorga 28 points29 points ago

Certainly not the Welsh.

[–]booooooooooooosh 18 points19 points ago

Somebody please think of the Corgis.

[–]Acid-Rain 4 points5 points ago

Hey I have you tagged as 'wants a redneck assassin's creed'. What's your thoughts about ACIII? Close enough for ya? haha

[–]Elidor 1 point2 points ago

That...that would be badass. Starring the Trailer Park Boys.

[–]logictech86 4 points5 points ago

It should help the whales

[–]booooooooooooosh 8 points9 points ago

Nuke the whales.

Wait, there was a video?

[–]whatbrighteyes 8 points9 points ago

is there a video?????

[–]IamA_Jesus_AMA 1 point2 points ago

If I don't get a link, I will die.

[–]Goto10 14 points15 points ago

I was there. I still remember Tim as he sauntered into the room with this, "Yeah.. I made motherfuckin' Full Throttle.." look upon his face. I thought the guy was a bit full of himself. And then he fucked my date to the prom. :( On the dancefloor. :( :(

[–]daddynotthebelt 16 points17 points ago

Wow, the top comment on a 1516 upvote thread only has four upvotes?

This is because the majority of redditors, like myself, use the wonderful Reddit Enhancement Suite. Reddit Enhancement Suite allows you to view images without actually having to leave reddit, or go to another page. Reddit Enhancement Suite also lets you browse infinitely without loading new pages, assuming you are only looking at things like pictures. Reddit Enhancement Suite cannot help you with viewing news articles while still inside the reddit page. Reddit Enhancement Suite is the best thing ever.

[–]fugoe 7 points8 points ago

Ive noticed the upvotes aren't being thrown around much today

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points ago

So I'm not the only one to notice this. I though it might've been because I exhausted all the top posts and was reading less popular ones but maybe not.

[–]fugoe 7 points8 points ago

I even upvoted all these comments, yet they stay at one.

[–]Kinglink 1 point2 points ago

I was going to but I realize people are already going to do it.

I'm sure he'll already have a response ready for it though.

[–]TheSkyline 1 point2 points ago

I bet he won't even call back to answer this question.

[–]Sir_FartAlot 1 point2 points ago

Do you remember if he called back the next morning?

[–]Phoequinox 2 points3 points ago

Everyone involved would be proud. Just look at the man.

[–]alamandrax 2 points3 points ago

Magnon, you call him an asshole like a normal person right now!

[–]haplesstaco 41 points42 points ago

For those who don't know:

Tim is a well-respected video game designer who brought such wonderful things such as Psychonauts and Grim Fandango to us. He is also currently spear-heading a Kickstarter funded old-school adventure game.

He's funny and makes good games. Even if he only talked about Rampart I'd be interested in his AMA.

Wikipedia

[–]Gerdel 5 points6 points ago

You can't give a brief description of Tim Schafer without mentioning that he's the one that convinced Ron Gilbert to make Monkey Island a comedy. A truly inspirational idea.

[–]RichOfTheJungle 86 points87 points ago

Oh good, I have a TON of questions about that movie. Man, if only there were a way I could ask someone who worked on it....oh well!

[–]Woody_Harrelson_AMA 177 points178 points ago

Well then, ask away!

[–]CapnDeviance 53 points54 points ago

I'll allow it.

[–]realwoodyharrelson 38 points39 points ago

HE'S A FAKE. ALLOW NOTHING.

[–]Seriou 13 points14 points ago

I was about to correct you, but then I saw your name...

[–]dcook7 9 points10 points ago

Haha and this guy's account is 3 days older. I guess he gets the win

[–]Seriou 3 points4 points ago

Good god you're right.

[–]talking_to_myself -1 points0 points ago

Nice.

[–]davvblack 75 points76 points ago

Who died and made you judge of things?

[–]falor42 7 points8 points ago

I'm assuming the previous Captain Deviance.

[–]ForgettableUsername 7 points8 points ago

The man he inherited it from is not the real Captain Deviance either. His name was Cummerbund. The real Deviance has been retired 15 years and living like a king in Patagonia.

[–]falor42 1 point2 points ago

Hmm, I wonder if OC was a cabin boy or something...

[–]cormega 46 points47 points ago*

YEAH FUCK YOU CAPNDEVIANCE.

Edit: Put it in all caps for effect.

[–]FromAWarTornFuture 8 points9 points ago

OMG YOU LOVE RAMPART TO?

[–]josh6499 3 points4 points ago

If they died, how would they then make him judge?

[–]davvblack 5 points6 points ago

Some sort of will, I suppose. Would take a lot of planning.

[–]Battletooth 1 point2 points ago

He was actually 145th in line to judge things...

Early this morning there was a huge explosion at the Reddit HQ.

Hundreds died. Luckily he called in sick for the meeting so he could surf reddit...

He is now the judge...

RIP everyone else.

[–]logictech86 1 point2 points ago

Did you check how old the account was?

[–]Halefor 2 points3 points ago

Davvblack's account is older.

[–]logictech86 1 point2 points ago

The account age between CapnDeviance and Davvblack matters how?

Is account age a hierarchy now?

The age in question was for the Woody_Harrelson_AMA "novelty" account and comment and to verify it wasn't made solely to make that comment.

[–]ForgettableUsername 3 points4 points ago

I thought we were trying to determine which one of them was actually Woody Harrelson.

[–]USERNAME_COP 2 points3 points ago

I won't! I'm writing Woody_Harrelson_AMA up! Mofo's lucky he's not spending time in handcuffs ...

[–]mozeiny 18 points19 points ago

I swear this is a true story. I went to a high school in Dothan Alabama and you crashed our annual Rodeo vestival. You ended up taking the virginity of a some goat named Roseanne, and didn't call her afterwards. She cried a lot. Do you remember any of this and can confirm or have you been so knee deep in pooty for so long that this qualifies as a mere blip?

I'm not kidding.

[–]HexAddict 15 points16 points ago

I'm sorry but you're gonna have to back up your story with gifs to be the least bit credible.

[–]States_The_Obvious_ 2 points3 points ago

I think Tim's referring to Woody's Harrelson's horrible AMA from a month ago.

Dear Tim Schaffer,

Stopping doing things that make you even more epically cool. You have broken my epically coolometer.

[–]DudeWithFoot 1 point2 points ago

I love how this has quickly become an inside joke among the Reddit community. The 5secondfilms guys made a gag about it in their AMA (permalink), and this further proves that even interviewees who may not browse reddit regularly are aware of this ill-fated publicity stunt. Rampart now serves as a warning to all who choose reddit as their PR outlet, reminding the world that we mean business.

[–]Ricktron3030 1 point2 points ago

Oh great now half of the posts will be about Woody and Rampart. Let's be serious about this one guys.

[–]parisien96 1 point2 points ago

People, can we please focus on the movie..?

[–]surfnaked 3 points4 points ago

Can I ask him who Tim Shafer is?

[–]IrelevntElephnt[S] 5 points6 points ago

Tim is a game designer. He's know for some games like Psychonauts and Brutal Legend.

[–]RollinAbes 1 point2 points ago

he's more well known for Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle.

Please don't let reddit become iPhone Twitter screen cap central.

[–]ManOfPopsicle 2 points3 points ago

We should all actually do that. Nothing but questions about Rampart.

Well I'm so glad that such an awful AMA didn't spread word about the movie it was promoting in a viral kind of way. That would be awful. Good thing we had the sense to deliberately not mention it every 10 seconds to spite Woody/failedPR.
