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.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "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; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

I like the background, where can I find it?

[–]Slap_Choppa 7 points8 points ago

I remember this one from my windows xp customizing phase long ago. It's called The Darkness Wall, and the original is by an artist on deviantART by the name of kon. You can see it as part of this screenshot: http://kon.deviantart.com/art/The-Darkness-103157481

Unfortunately, he seems to have removed the wallpaper from the site. Doing a quick search, I can only find a super high res version, which I guess you could crop to your liking: http://www.pulsarmedia.eu/r_texture_wallpapers_18_the_darkness_wall_57090.html#image

Thank you for the very high res version, my monitor is 2560X1400, but the one you linked is close enough. Thanks for the digging.

This would be much better if there were some elements of the Joker in the wallpaper besides the quote. Can anyone add them?

They're not identical, but these two are the closest I can find: one two

Imgur seemed to reduce the quality of the first one so here's a DropBox link.

I think I have a higher resolution version of the same wallpaper somewhere on my computer so I will keep looking.

[–]fastredb 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Here's my take on the pixel background, made with GIMP.

1440x900 sample at Imgur

1280x720, 1600x900, 1920x1080

1440x900, 1680x1050, 1920x1200

ZIP of six PNG backgrounds at Mediafire (3 MB)

[–]itorres1490 0 points1 point ago

You nailed it on what I was looking for in the image, the background not the pac man stuff. Slap_Choppa below you had the right resolution for my monitor with the 2560X1600 resolution.

[–]RewindHoodie -2 points-1 points ago

1920x1080 / 1440x900 would be amazing, if you find them. Don't have photoshop installed :(

Turns out, the original image (without Pacman) is my current 30" wallpaper and I kept the original. 2560x1600: http://i.imgur.com/XYblv.jpg

I heard of one rapper, he chopped this guy's whole body off, just left the dick behind.

Don't you mean they chopped off his dick?

No I mean they held his dick and chopped his body off. That's all he was in the end, a dick.

Didn't mean it that way bro. I guess that's the problem with having to use italics for both implying sarcasm and emphasising a point in different contexts.

It really was the strangest thing, Pac-Man. The yellow head had just shown up one day. He'd wandered right into the mansion, found a room and began eating their orbs. At first the ghosts had thought nothing of it - it was probably just some strange, humanoid creature that was hungry and just happened to eat ghost orbs. But after Pac-Man had finished the entire floor and ripped through their door illusion, the four of them had decided Pac-Man needed to go.
