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.

I hate when only one girl is there and every guy is surrounding her.

[–]Featherskill[S] 12 points13 points ago

This makes me uncomfortable. Like seeing very old people in brand new sneakers.

[–]Whenthenighthascome 5 points6 points ago

What? How. I. Don't even what?

[–]murraydaskull 0 points1 point ago

The old people with new sneakers make it look like they're trying too hard to be young and cool, much like guys surrounding the girl make it look like they're trying too hard to be not pathetic.

Jesus Christ do those situations repulse me. It makes them look so pathetic and desperate and I end up pitying them. I know there is nothing wrong with looking for love, but tone it down a bit...

It's like the Internet spilling over into real life.

[–]bdubaya 3 points4 points ago

It's very rare that I'll claim to be the coolest person at a gathering. I'm not generally a very arrogant person, and I like to think I'm pretty accepting of people.

That said, the midnight launch event for Wrath of the Lich King made me feel like Miles Davis.

[–]Featherskill[S] 3 points4 points ago

For one thing, I'm rarely able to even open the game before I pass out. For another, and forgive me, but if you can't afford proper hygiene supplies, you can't afford a game.

Sacrifice.

I walked into gamestop with my bro and the place reeked of BO and cigs .... thought what a bunch of losers and then realized i was standing there waiting with them

[–]herpyderp16 2 points3 points ago

Be sure to drink your ovaltine?

[–]BushMackel 1 point2 points ago

Aint that the truth.

[–]S1ayer 1 point2 points ago

I usually go to midnight releases for consoles and handhelds. The crowd is always nice. There's a part of me that wants to go to a midnight release of Call of Duty to compare.

Pro-tip: DON'T.

I went to the midnight release of MW2 and most dudes there in their mid 20s. Werent loud, or anything; actually had nice conversations. I guess it all depends where you live. But with the franchise being how it is now, I wont be at any of their midnight releases any time soon.

I was sitting in line with a guy who had hoops through his ears so big I could throw a baseball through it.

Immediately regretted...

Dude. Try having a midnight release up here in Canada during the winter. Standing outside for hours in -40° weather? Sure, why not!
