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.

Relevant xkcd. Sorry if I broke your metaphor.

[–]snoobs89[S] 13 points14 points ago*

wtf... really?

EDIT: I still cannot defeat him.. even with f..

[–]NicolasBroaddus 10 points11 points ago

He's one of today's "Lucky 10,000"

[–]technom22 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, I'm also into the Lucky 10k.

[–]Phasechange 8 points9 points ago

Um. I'm not honestly sure how to respond to that question.

[–]Nawara_Ven 5 points6 points ago

I think the answer is yes you can really press "F" for "Fast".

[–]theharber 15 points16 points ago

'F' for 'Fucking'.

[–]taubut 12 points13 points ago

how long have you been saving that gif for?

[–]theharber 0 points1 point ago

20 seconds.

Clicked on nicricc's NG link, found a link for the "original" webpage. I'm just a bored internet-detective.

[–]UnfoundHero 0 points1 point ago

S is for sucks!

[–]Khuskan 2 points3 points ago

Even if you get him off the screen, he'll come back.

The point of the yeti is to be the end of the game, it means you've gone too far in one direction and there's nothing more there for you to do, except possibly eventually cause a stack overflow.

[–]italia06823834 1 point2 points ago

Try hitting a jump as he comes out.

[–]Deftonez 0 points1 point ago

oh, come on ALEX! I expect more from you!

[–]Rampant_Durandal 0 points1 point ago

GODDAMNIT ALEX, YOU HAD ONE JOB!

[–]Father_of_God 1 point2 points ago

I always end up beeing beaten by him anyways, even when I use that.

No, no it doesn't.

say goodbye to the next hour: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/473755

[–]Seven-Force 2 points3 points ago

or download it if you want to use your whole screen.

[–]DJMattB241 5 points6 points ago

Ah yes. The crusher of dreams.

[–]Ass_nipples 4 points5 points ago

It's been nearly 20 minutes and I still havn't started beating myself again.

[–]TheEquivocatorX 1 point2 points ago

congrats! keep it up!

[–]fleshflinger 3 points4 points ago

What game is this!? I've been trying to remember for years and never can!

[–]RossFromRVA 5 points6 points ago

Ski Free

[–]fleshflinger 2 points3 points ago

thankyou!

Do a barrel roll!

[–]LinKaGe1 2 points3 points ago

Holy shit I used to play this game at my Grandma's all the time when I was a kid. Totally forgot about it.

[–]SteveTheDude -2 points-1 points ago

Literally me too!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

That word you're using. I don't think it means what you think it means.

[–]SteveTheDude 0 points1 point ago

Figuratively me too?

Nope, literal is the right word. I literally played this game on my grandmas computer as a kid. T'is correct.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Try omitting the word altogether. Then it makes sense.

[–]SteveTheDude 0 points1 point ago

But I wanted to emphasize that I was in the exact same situation. Not a similar one, but exactly.

[–]Batty-Koda 1 point2 points ago

You played at LinKaGe1's grandma's house?

Just playing, you're using it right. Don't worry about that fella.

The trend to whine about anyone using the word "literally" is literally driving me crazy. Usually they just don't understand hyperbole, but this is a fresh new way to be completely wrong when complaining about usage of "literally".

[–]SteveTheDude 2 points3 points ago

I'm all for grammar Nazi's, but not being a good one makes you literally worse than Hitler.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Just remember, there's 2 yetis. One's a pussy, the other will fuck you up if you aren't quick on your feet...

[–]payne6 1 point2 points ago

He can be beaten? I always thought he was the final boss of the internet.

[–]rlarson09 0 points1 point ago

Try a peace offering. Sacrifice a small animal or something.

[–]Wizzer_Gizzer 0 points1 point ago

Yes, you must throw the offering as far away as possible and wait for the Terri to eat it, when ou hear it, run and wind the door open without jumping through the water... Wait what game am I getting this confused with......

[–]BossTime 0 points1 point ago

Wow, I remember this game used to give me nightmares

[–]idkusername 0 points1 point ago

No one can mate, no one can.

[–]LargeCoffeeShortsMan 0 points1 point ago

that son of a bitch.

[–]technom22 0 points1 point ago

The best I did was to avoid him 3 times.

[–]WollyGog 0 points1 point ago

i got past him once but he got me on the next run :/

[–]somabrandmayonaise 0 points1 point ago

Can you defeat him? I always managed to just avoid him.

[–]xnam24 0 points1 point ago

Relevant .gif I made a long time ago

[–]Yourius 0 points1 point ago

Of course or else you would break your monitor

[–]FrankyJFuckwit 0 points1 point ago

No way. I remember that. What's it called?

[–]coolswordsman 0 points1 point ago

SkiFree

[–]FrankyJFuckwit 1 point2 points ago

Thank you kind sir/Ma'am.

[–]yyx9 0 points1 point ago

The real life horror of this grey oblong / oval shaped 2 dimensional terror machine closing in and devouring you.

[–]irishconscript 0 points1 point ago

One does not simply "beat" the yeti.

[–]grizzlepuss 0 points1 point ago

even with the F it's basically impossible. i have come to terms with the fact that for me, winning is not an option in this game.

[–]anikan72 0 points1 point ago

Hit "F"

[–]sishgupta -1 points0 points ago

I don't know how people can't handle this.

Full screen at 1920x1080 or some other high resolution with the F key to move fast and you see the yeti from so far away that he can never catch up.

Very simple.

It's been nearly a whole page of /r/gaming since I've seen yet another useless nostalgia post.
