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.

Starting on Madagascar is just one giant assrape.

[–]Ogwizard 14 points15 points ago

Oh reddit

[–]Huggbees 14 points15 points ago

Oh man ANOTHER Madagascar post? I'm so glad I get to see this every week =)

[–]HamsterBoo 2 points3 points ago

And its exactly the same as the one posted like 4 weeks ago too!

[–]string97bean 8 points9 points ago

I don't always play Pandemic

But when I do, I restart it until the disease starts in Madagascar

[–]IsakHutt 2 points3 points ago

I started a couple of games in Madagascar, and not even then I was able to beat the game. Does anyone has ever done it?

[–]Chubbstock 21 points22 points ago

Does anyone has ever done it?

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

[–]SailorBacon 2 points3 points ago

Have you ever had a dream that...

[–]terikana 3 points4 points ago

my head just exploded

[–]WildFire142 2 points3 points ago

I beat it on my first try, no joke i used the virus class and waited for half an hour for it to spread, then it was all about choosing the gruesome fate of mankind. Never have been able to beat it again though, thanks to Madagascar.

[–]videogameexpert 1 point2 points ago

Start in Greenland. It trades with Madagascar. Madagascar isn't all that great a place to start unfortunately.

[–]Geeayche -1 points0 points ago

I've beaten it one time when it didn't start in Madagascar and I played it so safe that it took me at least a couple of hours to beat.

Totally worth it.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I've just started playing this game, what's so good about it starting there?

[–]emospartan911 4 points5 points ago

madagascar is almost always indestructible. the virus never reaches it.

[–]Bishopkilljoy 1 point2 points ago

I post this miracle over a month ago, down-voted to Reddit hell. this kid posts it, praised with karma

[–]danscottbrown 1 point2 points ago

Cuba shuts down everything. Madagascar isn't the only scumbag in Pandemic 2!

[–]BoxMacLeod 1 point2 points ago

Yay, another gaming post where someone plays Pandemic 2 and starts in Madagascar.

[–]Hozay_Vera 0 points1 point ago

[–]404mike 3 points4 points ago

Actually, I came to the comments just to see what game it was.

[–]aoaoaoaoa 0 points1 point ago

Brazil will close its borders

[–]EvilTony 0 points1 point ago

Can somebody briefly explain the significance of this to those of us who want to understand these Madagascar posts we keep seeing?

[–]Neoxite23 2 points3 points ago

It's a game called Pandemic. You are suppose to kill the entire earth population with a virus or bacteria. As you progress you get points to spend to upgrade your disease...like making it more resistant to heat or drugs...or give it the ability to transfer from one human to another easily through symptoms. Madagascar is an island nation that only has one docking port...and as soon as one nation gets so bad that they close docks and airports...so does Madagascar....making it virtually immune to the disease.

The only way to get it to spread is by making the symptoms easy to spread but not noticeable.

[–]EvilTony -3 points-2 points ago

So I'm guessing this is why in the real world God invented the Avian Flu.

[–]B0Boman 0 points1 point ago

In this case, it's the gods of pestilence and disease.

[–]Snorlax21 0 points1 point ago

Never, NEVER does gods smile upon my fatness

[–]weaver2109 0 points1 point ago

Throw me in with the "Doesn't get it" crowd...

[–]Dead_Skull 0 points1 point ago

Can someone make a phone version of this??

[–]GiantCrazyOctopus 0 points1 point ago

You lucky son of a bitch.

[–]Funkymonkz 0 points1 point ago

So what game is this?

[–]Brightcab 0 points1 point ago

Think it was called pandemic 2.

[–]kentuckyhermit 0 points1 point ago

wow, never seen this before.

downvote for you.

[–]rudyards -1 points0 points ago

This happened to me when I named my disease "Fuck Madagascar". Coincidence? I think not.

[–]MrIncorporeal -1 points0 points ago

Yeah, I started in Madagascar once. I shit you not, 20 people coughing, and they shut down their dock... I was completely trapped.
