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.

That looks like something Kurt Russel would do.

[–]Delmain 1 point2 points ago

I'm pretty sure that's Jason Momoa

[–]nessinn 0 points1 point ago

This should replace the op gif

[–]The_Greetest 37 points38 points ago

dis gun b an endless flood of the same three posts for the next several days.

[–]trollsconstantly 19 points20 points ago

you think it will trump the great skyrim tsunami of 2011? i hear the world still hasnt fully recovered from that one

[–]BarbaricBastard 34 points35 points ago

Reddit really took an arrow to the knee on that one. Sorry.

[–]c0smik 9 points10 points ago

You're the only person I've seen in the last few months that didn't get downvoted to oblivion with that one.

[–]bmandu 5 points6 points ago

It's because of the sorry. Damn Canadians.

[–]ModestEgg -1 points0 points ago

I hope the Oblivion pun was intended

[–]c0smik 3 points4 points ago

Oh, you.

[–]ModestEgg 0 points1 point ago

That has to be one of the best GIF reactions ever: YES, YES, YES, YES, CANADIAN FLAG!, YES

[–]c0smik 1 point2 points ago

It's basically seamless unless you look closely at the flag.

[–]KainFromNod -2 points-1 points ago

I think enough time has passed since last time this joke was used.

[–]nonsensepoem 0 points1 point ago

I love that /r/gaming is flooded with the same post, and each post is flooded with the same comment: "If this were an EA game, pitchforks and torches..."

Yeah, as opposed to this outpouring of love and affection.

[–]TheClayroo 7 points8 points ago

Ya, I can't wait to go get Max Payne at 8 am, right guys? Guys?

[–]Irriduccibilli 0 points1 point ago

Don't worry buddy, i'm with you. Wait, PC release date, June 1st... Fuck

[–]TheClayroo 0 points1 point ago

I work til 7am overnights, so I got Max Payne at 8am today. I don't play PC.

[–]Irriduccibilli 0 points1 point ago

I almost cancelled my order yesterday so I could buy it for my Xbox or PS3 instead, but I kept it because I won't have time to play it for some time anyway. All work and no Payne makes me a dull boy, but I just got to pull through it

[–]TheClayroo 0 points1 point ago

lol hang in there.

[–]ConradMetcalf 17 points18 points ago

I'm delaying playing just so I can see all the posts. This is great fun.

[–]Zincorium 8 points9 points ago

Well, it's not like you could play anyway, so no one can accuse you of wasting time.

[–]Toshiba682 7 points8 points ago

I play on EU servers, it's not a problem for me to connect and play whenever i want :3

[–]salavis 1 point2 points ago

The problem is talking about having to connect to play singleplayer :P

[–]KazumaKat 1 point2 points ago

"Damn you, good sir" <-- what most Diablo 3 people would be saying to you.

I, however, will not. Sure as shit not going to spend $75+ for a local copy of that.

[–]tripled153 6 points7 points ago

After seeing this reaction image posted all over 4chan and then here for possibly... 4 years. Where the hell is it from.

[–]Terrormask 3 points4 points ago

I havent seen someone mention the obvious yet so I'll just say this; DIABLO 3 JUST RELEASED.

[–]darkpdragon 2 points3 points ago

don't forget max payne 3. he feels left out

[–]artisanmaxx 6 points7 points ago

ITT: People who don't have Diablo 3

[–]Mundilfari 13 points14 points ago

ITT: People who don't even want Diablo 3

[–]IHaveAScatFetishAMA 0 points1 point ago

I want diablo 3 but I'm far too poor to actually buy it ;_;

[–]opoipo 0 points1 point ago

me too, spare copy anyone?

(joking)

[–]SeaReally -1 points0 points ago

After finding out that people beat it in 2 hours I'm glad I didn't buy it honestly.

[–]IHaveAScatFetishAMA 1 point2 points ago

Are you sure that wasn't just the beta?

[–]SeaReally 0 points1 point ago

Yes, it was a livestream.

[–]TheAwesomeinator 0 points1 point ago

It was a Korean guy playing it on the easiest difficulty.

[–]Rinascita 0 points1 point ago

Blizzard posted that for a single play through on normal difficulty, it's about 15 hours of game-play, maybe upwards of 20 or so for barrel breakers.

[–]opoipo 1 point2 points ago

isnt that pretty damn shitty for 8 years of work? or do you think they already have a few finished expansions

[–]Rinascita 0 points1 point ago

5 playable classes, randomly generated levels, multiple difficulties that scale with more players per game, a real money auction house, and that's just the technical layer.

[–]SpyderTheSir 2 points3 points ago

For those that aren't aware, you can paste into the password field. Open notepad or anywhere you can type really, type password, select and copy.

Copying from the password field in the D3 client doesn't work

[–]WilsonHanks 2 points3 points ago

For me it was more like this.

[–]puddin1 3 points4 points ago

I'm waiting on my game to create a character watching everyone freak the fuck out. XD

[–]socraincha 1 point2 points ago

Are we really upvoting this shit?

The fuck does this have to do with gaming.

[–]Cadvin 2 points3 points ago

It's on the subject of all the people who preordered Diablo 3 thinking they would actually be able to play it with the shitty always-on DRM in place. As it turn out- big surprise!- only a lucky few can play the singleplayer of the game they bought.

[–]krymourn5 1 point2 points ago

What's good about seeing the same complaint about not being about to log posted every couple minutes?

[–]chaosintestinal 0 points1 point ago

Rage from kids are the best http://i.imgur.com/MOsPO.gif

[–]Mooncinder 0 points1 point ago

Upvotes for the gif. For some reason, it never seems to get old, no matter how many times people use it on here. :)

[–]i3unneh 0 points1 point ago

Taken straight from 4chan.

[–]Schmangeetay 0 points1 point ago

"How long will it take to get into the servers?"

"FOR-EV-ER, foreVER, FOR-EV-ER"

[–]Bashasaurus 0 points1 point ago

I need my bullet time and painkillers!

[–]shempcaligula 0 points1 point ago

[–]Sacharified 0 points1 point ago

Excellent gaming post 10/10

[–]TerryArchi 0 points1 point ago

Yep, nothing better than post after post of the "i cant connect to the server" post.

[–]uchuskies08 0 points1 point ago

This subreddit has to have the whiniest collection of redditors of them all, I swear. Have you all ever played a Blizzard game before? Like WoW? Every launch, every patch, was fucked up day one.

[–]Tylerdurdon 0 points1 point ago

I have to disagree. I've been playing MMO's since AO, and I've seen bad...really bad. Blizzard set new standards when WoW came out, and they did a pretty good job at maintaining those standards throughout the time I played. Yes, it's outdated and I will not ever go back, but I don't agree with your assessment.

This whole subreddit being up in arms about this pleases me since I can't get my copy until the AM.

[–]viper459 0 points1 point ago

i never got what was so great about diablo anyway. it's like a isometric hack and slash with a few moba-style skills? not really anything special

[–]007DeathKnightKiller -1 points0 points ago

Wow I even heard a cliche black guy say it in my head and everything. Buzzy.

[–]Ranneko 1 point2 points ago

Because the moment is right now. Also it is 5:50pm, so what do you expect I want to do with the rest of my evening?

Unfortunately what I have to actually do with the next few hours is go to class.

[–]drebot 0 points1 point ago

it's 1:30 am here :D

[–]evvvad 0 points1 point ago

Riiight, "have to"....
