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.

[–]Agent_Volkoff 432 points433 points ago

was I the only one waiting for something to jump out and scare the crap out of me?

[–]AJupiter 233 points234 points ago

That could be arranged.

[–]Sentient_Waffle 201 points202 points ago

I believe I've been trolled into looking at this gif for a good 5 minutes.

[–]EndOnAnyRoll 58 points59 points ago

Not trolled. Ghosts.

[–]guitar_freax 32 points33 points ago

not ghost. just a ninja passing by with handstand.

[–]neverendingninja 22 points23 points ago

Confirmed.

[–]Diggertron5000 13 points14 points ago

5 minutes? Try 20 while I was dumping at work. Fucking Internet.

[–]Pilot824 89 points90 points ago

OH GOD FUCK OFF

[–]uvelify 35 points36 points ago

Thanks to your comment I avoided pissing my pants.

[–]evan_ktbd 25 points26 points ago

Nothing happens.

[–]uvelify 6 points7 points ago

Your upvotes tells otherwise. :o

There's a gorilla dribbling a basketball at about 1m:30s.

[–]shamecamel 24 points25 points ago

hehehe..... extremely clever.

the greatest master of horror never shows you anything to be afraid of, for the mind takes care of that.

[–]fapsauss 21 points22 points ago

Just when I thought nothing was going to happen.. I tip my hat to you sir.

[–]hobbington 6 points7 points ago

10/10

[–]Graupel 6 points7 points ago

Would stare again.

[–]Crazyalbo 3 points4 points ago

I literally clicked an then realized what comment you were responding to. I backed out just quickly enough to see nothing

[–]insufferabletoolbag 0 points1 point ago

I know that feel

[–]JacketPotatoes 8 points9 points ago

He lied to us. This is no different from the original.

Image compressed using PNGGauntlet. Just mentioning for your benefit.

[–]Agent_Volkoff 12 points13 points ago

was something supposed to happen?

[–]rempek 1 point2 points ago

Well played, dear Sir!

[–]LennyBruceLeeMarvin 1 point2 points ago

Dood you should totally add sound to that gif! That would make it even more awesome. Why dont gifs have sound anyway?

[–]abbeast 18 points19 points ago

Because they are called swfs then.

[–]vandral 0 points1 point ago

I'm fairly sure he was just joking. http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/ib4bk/can_you_get_gifs_with_sound/

[–]GordonMcFreeman 1 point2 points ago

What was supposed to happen?

[–]bolaxao 1 point2 points ago

AJupiter is a phony. AJupiter is a big fat phony!

[–]novanleon -1 points0 points ago

Well played, sir. Well played.

[–]bulllshifter 12 points13 points ago

I watched for maybe 2 seconds before I backed out of it, did not trust OP at all.

[–]ObsGenesis 8 points9 points ago

if you look closely there is a weeee little guard on the road.

[–]p3ngu1nD00m 21 points22 points ago

I was waiting to hear a dragon roar. Then Skyrim craziness ensues.

[–]NugPlug 40 points41 points ago

It's a gif.

[–]koagad 3 points4 points ago

I was expecting a bouncing mammoth or something like that. It was kind of scary when nothing happened.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

no

[–]kimikodesu 1 point2 points ago

Lol oh good.. I was seriously thinking of those youtube videos where it's all nice 'n happy and them WHAM, scary ghost or whatever.. So I was sitting here trying not to look, but had to... in between my fingers. And then I realized it was looping pretty quickly over 'n over. :P

[–]suicidemachine 1 point2 points ago

No. I closed it as soon as I realized it was a gif.

[–]Redkitties 0 points1 point ago

I was thinking a dragon, because i auto noticed it was skyrim.

[–]HugodrAndrade 0 points1 point ago

yeah...

[–]MyGoodApollo 77 points78 points ago

Would have been perfect if not for the jumping guy in the corner.

[–]AppleDane 49 points50 points ago

And the waterfall/mill/whatever it is, in the centre of the image.

[–]marsneedstowels 24 points25 points ago

I think I can hear the Twin Peaks theme in the background.

[–]Jonmeij 9 points10 points ago

For you.

[–]stalking_ya_mom 1 point2 points ago

That intro has always creeped me out. It's just so... Surreal. The colors, the early 90's video quality and ofc the music. Brrrr :S

[–]tayls 0 points1 point ago

And...now I want to go back and play more Skyrim with that theme playing in the background. Thanks for adding yet another addiction to my MP3, D3 combo.

[–]okaygecko 5 points6 points ago

Since I realize you really said that because you wanted someone to get your Twin Peaks reference, I figured I'd upvote you.

Also, the Twin Peaks theme is in my head now.

[–]TheoQ99 18 points19 points ago

If you could isolate it so just the water is moving, this would be worthy to post to /r/Cinemagraphs

[–]alphazero924 3 points4 points ago

Like so? I couldn't get the water to not be jittery on the transition back to the first frame though.

Edit: Fixed the last frame for some reason the last two frames were exactly the same.

[–]TheoQ99 0 points1 point ago

It's perfect.

[–]WalkingCloud 2 points3 points ago

This already got posted to /r/Cinemagraphs, (Incidentally, not by the same poster as here, don't know the original source) and that was exactly what was said!

Link

[–]brutal_bub 1 point2 points ago

Any good gif creators that allow for masks? Or would it be easier to adjust the frames individually in photoshop.

[–]HerbertTheHorse 14 points15 points ago

Photoshop - Duplicate one layer and let it stay on in all the frames. Mask out whatever you want to stay in motion(the water in this case) and leave it as the topmost layer.

No need to go messing about with each and every frame.

Here you go.. not the best job ever. http://imgur.com/Yl6AG

[–]brutal_bub 1 point2 points ago

Yeah that is how I would have done it as well, but what is the best way to edit a gif? I just don't understand how the animated portion of the gif gets edited using photoshop (thought it would only apply for a still GIF) I have never created, nor edited a gif.

[–]_Raven_ 0 points1 point ago

You can make gifs in photoshop - at least in cs4 that is.

[–]brutal_bub 0 points1 point ago

Oh nice, I will take a look at that then. Been using PS for 10+ years, but strangely enough never ventured over to the GIF side of things.

[–]goDDyGodsen 13 points14 points ago

Except for the guy on the road in the background. Distrubs the whole animation.

[–]snapcase 7 points8 points ago

And the sawmill.

[–]zelf0gale 2 points3 points ago

If the gif was longer it might not be such an issue, really disturbing though with it only being 3 seconds long.

[–]volxleet 66 points67 points ago

Your loop is bad and you should feel bad.

[–]Alibambam 10 points11 points ago

I was waiting for something.. it never came.

[–]thestimp 4 points5 points ago

That's what he said..

[–]MrGMinor 1 point2 points ago

I'm glad you said he instead of she. It works so well, good job.

[–]jayhawkfilm 19 points20 points ago

Gifsound mashup I just made. I could watch this for hours.

[–]Raxony 0 points1 point ago

It's........ Beautifull

[–]CPO_Mendez 14 points15 points ago

I would love a 1080p version of this. Would fit my Skyrim Desktop quite nicely.

[–]JoustingTimberflake 3 points4 points ago

A gif wallpaper.

Brb patenting.

[–]xVerified 8 points9 points ago

Welcome to 2001 Windows XP SP 1.

[–]Ocrasorm 6 points7 points ago

Peaceful until a mother fucking mammoth ruins your view and you have to enact justice by stabbing it and the following giants in their smug natured faces. They really are so insensitive and not at all thoughtful.

[–]Niqulaz 2 points3 points ago

But then you get to see the not-quite-so-peaceful scenery from significant height for a short while.

[–]exnor -1 points0 points ago

What I hate is when a giant hits a mammoth and it goes flying through the air. Completely ruins immersion.

[–]Canas123 3 points4 points ago

Was expecting a horse to randomly fly through the air or something similar.

[–]taalmahret 4 points5 points ago

Is there a longer cycle version that has the smoke and the traveler omitted? I would make this my background if possible. (Great animated mobile background right there)

[–]DerpusOfValues 1 point2 points ago

See this guy's comment.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

Dude to the right just keeps walking and never seems to get to where he is going. Also annoying fog in the middle/waterfall killing a slightly perfect gifloop.

[–]Jarl_Vos 2 points3 points ago

The hype has settled and many people have moved on, but I can't imagine a distant future in which I don't look back at this game and see it as a substantial landmark in the progression of gaming immersion.

[–]GryffinDarkBreed 1 point2 points ago

Heh, was waiting for something to fly out at me

[–]gamba11 1 point2 points ago

I waited for a flying tiger actually

[–]DarKcS 1 point2 points ago

dat guard.

[–]the-troller69 1 point2 points ago

still waiting for the dragon to come around and rape some poor bear.

[–]Eaglethorn 1 point2 points ago

Did no one else expect the monster from Ski Free?

[–]Omena123 1 point2 points ago

This is from skyrim right? Peaceful my ass

[–]Xzleon 1 point2 points ago

A wild dragon appeared! cue theme music

[–]Zorodude77 1 point2 points ago

Waited for explosion. Now I am sad.

[–]herp-a-derp-a-gerp 1 point2 points ago

I also waited for a fashionable late dragon to plumet into the ground.

[–]deadbird17 1 point2 points ago

I run maxed out video settings and the texture mod, and I swear my waterfalls don't look this good.

[–]dsoltesz 2 points3 points ago

Maybe a realistic water mod? I don't recall what the vanilla streams like this looked like. I use Water and Terrain Enhancement Redux.

[–]deadbird17 1 point2 points ago

Thanks!

[–]gundog48 1 point2 points ago

Suddenly, dragons.

[–]gavreilly 1 point2 points ago

All my life I had lived in blissful ignorance, never realising that you can't set GIFs as your desktop wallpaper.

Seriously? I swear that when i was a kid i was able to. Would put those stick fights gifs as wallpapers on the XP.

[–]Imthemayor 1 point2 points ago

I can't be the only one that thought a Macho Man Randy Dragon was coming down from the mountain.

[–]Apocol0id 1 point2 points ago

I was waiting for a dragon to swoop in and burn the village.

[–]Jhnbytwoo 0 points1 point ago

I was waiting for an avalanche of cheese.

[–]aardvark445 1 point2 points ago

Its fake. Go outside, you fat loser.

[–]Ayer99 1 point2 points ago

The graphics engine is amazing, don't get me wrong. But the actual world design wasn't creative enough to make the photo realistic visuals as interesting as they could be. I just finished Kingdoms of Amular about a month ago, and I have to say it is hard to stop playing through such a colorful and brilliant world to venture into the relatively boring mountains of Skyrim. So much was right about Skyrim. I just would be grateful if The Elder Scrolls started to have worlds a bit more fantastical...... I mean after all, there are dragons........ A floating island or two wouldn't hurt......

[–]SecularMC 1 point2 points ago

Yes, peacef- what's that? Oh it's just a dragon, I'll kill it real quick. Alright, back to enjoying the tranquili- OH FUCK IT'S A BEAR RUN!

[–]Layzeeboi 1 point2 points ago

I really wish there were animated wallpapers .

[–]kickboxer1987 1 point2 points ago

Who ever made this.... can i have it in 1080? :|

[–]confusedintellect 1 point2 points ago

Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope

[–]GuitarGuru253 0 points1 point ago

Still waiting to be scared

[–]Evilllamas 0 points1 point ago

It is at this point that a mountain bear jumps out and kills you... I swear they're the new cliff racer.

[–]Kankar 0 points1 point ago

Wow, that's pretty cool, is there anyone out there willing to turn it into an Android live wallpaper?

[–]OdinBerry 0 points1 point ago

You're welcome

[–]joinedjusttosaythis 0 points1 point ago

I don't know why, but this feels like it could be a level in Halo.

[–]theregoesanother 0 points1 point ago

Skyrim?

I was expecting a falling mammoth.

[–]BigDawgWTF 0 points1 point ago

Open console, type "fov 90", win

[–]MentalRaid 0 points1 point ago

This would be excellent if you cleaned up those last few frames to help it loop better.

Since the motion is very subtle, the jump of the smoke along with that figure on the road kinda screw with the immersion level.

[–]Dipz 0 points1 point ago

I was waiting for a dragon to smash out of the waterfall and burn down that mill.

[–]MFchimichanga 0 points1 point ago

That's alwaysthe first sign shit is about to hit the fan.

[–]backstab 0 points1 point ago

If only only the grass and water were animated. That looping steam over the tree takes me out of it.

[–]xombiemaster 0 points1 point ago

Is that a bear shitting in the woods?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Skyrim VR simulation activated.

[–]webchimp32 0 points1 point ago

There's some software linked to over at /r/Cinemagraphs that will allow you to just animate the water and grass.

[–]samba29 0 points1 point ago

I was expecting a screamer...

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

except for the jarring stop/start of the gif, yes, it coul be a peaceful place...

[–]deovolante 0 points1 point ago

It'd be awesome if someone made this a cinemagraph without the person walking and the water wheel!

[–]Ruralgeek 0 points1 point ago

This was Skyrim before the dragonborn named XxxXx8=====D(=G=)Eddie(=G=)8======DxXxxX was born.

Skyrim has the best looking water out of any game, I think.

[–]traditions 0 points1 point ago

For science sake there must be a heroes might and magic 3 Mod some how some way this totally looks like a town screen

[–]silas_ 0 points1 point ago

Non-gamer here. What game is this? This looks fucking cool.

[–]deityofanime 0 points1 point ago

After using this lighting mod for so long that rather dull to me.

I suggest at least trying the mod out, it's beautiful and doesn't impact performance at all (unlike ENB mods). http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=13531

[–]ChristianW1998 0 points1 point ago

I freaked out, turned the sound off, and covered the screen with my hand. I hate you.

[–]BalthierTheNobody 0 points1 point ago

I was just waiting for this to freeze like in the real game.

[–]Acora 0 points1 point ago

I believe it took me about ten seconds to realize that it wasn't a real picture, and about thirty more seconds to realize that was Riverrun.

[–]trees4life21 0 points1 point ago

Is That Mx vs Atv untamed? Or something like that?

[–]Wafflemonster2 16 points17 points ago

I'm pretty sure that it is Skyrim. The grass, trees and rocks all look like the ones in Skyrim but I have no way to know for sure.

[–]kaiden333 8 points9 points ago

On the right there seems to be a person with a shield walking.

[–]Wafflemonster2 0 points1 point ago

Good catch! I didn't notice that until you pointed that out.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points ago

I was browsing in /r/all and for a second I thought it was Skyrim, then chuckled when I realised it was an actual photo ("haha, games aren't quite that detailed yet").

Now my mind is blown from realising that it actually IS Skyrim.

[–]trees4life21 0 points1 point ago

are you sure that Skyrim. It may be haha but i rembe as a kid this one level on MX vs ATV haha maby its on both games
