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.

Seriously? You're gonna post the .gif instead of linking to the website? http://www.collegehumor.com/video/6208752/if-games-had-super-easy-mode

[–]NinjaInYellow 6 points7 points ago

Wasn't this originally a Dorkly video?

[–]Pancro 9 points10 points ago

I believe College Humor runs Dorkly.

[–]Krookey 9 points10 points ago

Murph from College Humour created Dorkly I think. They're partnered

[–]IAmSedders 4 points5 points ago

[–]eXX0n 10 points11 points ago

Well, it's easier for RES users :P

[–]raymendx -1 points0 points ago

Do you think people on smartphones would prefer a GIF or video?

[–]TheExter 5 points6 points ago

i hope they prefer the full version (with more games), sound and better quality, fastest option is not the best

[–]FatherThyme 1 point2 points ago

Quantity not Quality

[–]StochasticOoze 11 points12 points ago

Not really. God mode tends to take the fun out of games.

[–]MannerShark[!] 7 points8 points ago

But the pacman pathfinding doesn't match, pinkie would be first, then inky en blinky and clyde would be strolling in some corner.

[–]ADHD_orc 2 points3 points ago

Clyde really needs to get his shit together.

[–]seaduck13 5 points6 points ago

I feel like I'd still manage to lose that Qbert level.

[–]monkeymule 1 point2 points ago

I was wondering what game that was. Looked cool. Thank you!

[–]shamanultra 3 points4 points ago

How old is this?

[–]phiniusmaster 20 points21 points ago

To me this could just as easily be titled "If all these games were made in 2012"

[–]jbradfield 16 points17 points ago

so brave

[–]puphop 0 points1 point ago

not really

[–]philphan25 2 points3 points ago

I've actually never thought about any of this. Except the Tetris one, but you never win at Tetris.

[–]MrRushing[S] 1 point2 points ago

I seem to remember this screen on gameboy. I think it's from the story mode. Could be mistaken.

[–]loserkid182 2 points3 points ago

Nothing beats the feeling of accomplishment you get after beating a truly difficult game.

[–]El_Rista1993 2 points3 points ago

Why did the maker of the gif not include the Megaman and Sonic ones? It always bugs me...

[–]TrashCrap 3 points4 points ago

Older than the internet.

[–]cheesefan -1 points0 points ago

New to me

[–]WhipSlagCheek 1 point2 points ago

Thank you for that.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Classic.

[–]Sakonosolo 1 point2 points ago

I actually used a gameshark type thing to get all straight pieces in Tetris once.

[–]The_MAZZTer 1 point2 points ago

Me too.

It was boring.

[–]Denbert 1 point2 points ago

Longest. Gif. Ever.

[–]raygun27 1 point2 points ago

There actually was a Game Genie code where only lines fell. DAE remember?

[–]Battedpuppy 1 point2 points ago

Charlie Sheen oh, you.

[–]psychroclasm 1 point2 points ago

Somehow, I still think I could screw up Tetris like that...

[–]Gengi 1 point2 points ago

There is genre called idle game designed just for this type of fun. I know a guy who created an idle game fishtank screensaver. http://www.kongregate.com/games/Darkscanner/mini-fish-screensaver-idle

[–]thename226 1 point2 points ago

I LOVE YOU!!!

[–]ooo_shiny 1 point2 points ago

No, I really haven't.

[–]jOmznezz 3 points4 points ago

9 year old with leukemia win!

[–]angg56 0 points1 point ago

the pong one exists on some obscure pong console, the AVGN covered it.

[–]RCD666 1 point2 points ago

I love asshole pong

[–]chefmcduck 0 points1 point ago

How have I never seen this before! Gold, Jerry, gold!

[–]WarJunkie 0 points1 point ago

Fucking casuals.

[–]DraugrMurderboss 0 points1 point ago

Links to chive, doesn't even link to the original source. Thanks a lot.

[–]SanchoPandas 0 points1 point ago

I was so excited to see this! I thought of something semi-clever to say. Then I read the comments...

[–]Kinsata -3 points-2 points ago

Damn it.

So 9 year old with Leukemia isn't God-Tier?

[–]Fratex -2 points-1 points ago

Is this the gameplay vid of Kingdoms of Amalur?

[–]home_star_toker 1 point2 points ago

That wasen't even clever...

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago
