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.

Wario deserves everything that cheating fuck gets. No matter what Mario Party it is, if Wario is playing, that smug asshole always finds a way to win.

Goddamn Wario...

[–]ModernDayCasanova 38 points39 points ago

Everyone knows the people that play Wario are the most despised people in your group of friends...but they're also probably one of the best at all the minigames

[–]Cinder_N 79 points80 points ago

Holy shit.

I always play Wario.

I almost always win.

And I'm an asshole!

[–]Victawr 1 point2 points ago

Me too, and I play Wario in Double Dash!

[–]zetmof91 24 points25 points ago

I swear, every time I played warios race track in Mario Kart that yellow fat fuck would bounce me just before the big jump, you know the one. God damnit.

[–]wakinupdrunk 13 points14 points ago

We make the computer Wario because he's so fun to laugh at. Purple pants, what an idiot.

[–]taipro 3 points4 points ago

The Hulk would have words with you

[–]siddububba 3 points4 points ago

D'oh I missed!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Ya know, I thi k this might actually be a fundamental law of the universe or something.

I'm the best at most games in my social circle of gamers, besides this one guy. This one guy who always seems to be a little better than me, and beats always at the last minute. This guy ALWAYS plays as wario. Mario party, smash brothers, Mario kart, you name it, and he always wins.

I vote that we put wario in the SS tier of every Nintendo game ever.

[–]Captain_Box 80 points81 points ago

God, this has been reposted about 5 times... but its still so funny

[–]xudoxis 33 points34 points ago

5 times

You haven't been on reddit very long have you?

[–]Captain_Box 1 point2 points ago

Lurker for 5 months, true redditor for 3 months.

[–]xudoxis 1 point2 points ago

I'm just teasing, it's been reposted a lot so tacking on a constant term like "5" seems arbitrary and silly.

[–]Captain_Box 0 points1 point ago

Lol its fine :)

[–]neorevenge -2 points-1 points ago

yeah if you have been on reddit very long 5 it's just a silly tiny number try 22!

[–]TheSambasti -2 points-1 points ago

And for a moment I felt old... :(

[–]kamion 24 points25 points ago

You feel old because you've seen every repost of a comic that was drawn in 2012?

[–]Mortegro545 1 point2 points ago

I thought, for a moment, he said reposted every five minutes.

I'd have agreed then.

[–]Psythik -3 points-2 points ago

Neither have you.

[–]xudoxis -5 points-4 points ago

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSHHHHH

[–]I_Will_Allow_This -3 points-2 points ago

His account is 2 years older than yours. You, sir xudoxis, are the woosh.

[–]xudoxis -5 points-4 points ago

If that were the joke then maybe.

Unfortunately it isn't.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[–]neorevenge 0 points1 point ago

You are still the woosh

[–]McShizzL 5 points6 points ago

what a wooshbag

[–]Eboz100 2 points3 points ago

Step 1: Did it get voted over 1k last time? Step 2: Has it been a week since the last post? Step 3: Repost! Step 4: See Step 1

[–]AeroFit 4 points5 points ago

I bet my ass this has been on frontpage of r/gaming atleast 10 times

[–]dino340 5 points6 points ago

At least one other time according to KarmaDecay

[–]AKluthe 5 points6 points ago

Huh, this has been resposted for the infinitieth time? If you guys are so hungry for link karma, could you please, please, please link to my actual website?

Here's a direct link to the comic, OP. http://www.nerdragecomic.com/index.php?date=2012-02-24

I've had this rant before, and r/comics knows where I'm coming from. As a webcomic artist, I do these comics without pay and provide them to read for free. My only revenue from drawing this is the hit count and ad revenue. It means nothing if imgur gets to take all the credit for the work.

Thank you everyone who appreciated this comic and who haven't already read it in the billions of other times it's been resposted. To everyone who has already seen it, I'm sorry it's been reposted so many times.

[–]HE_WHO_STANDS_TO_POO 12 points13 points ago

I have no remorse for Wario. He's an asshole and probably came to the party drunk out of his mind.

[–]running_to_the_hills 8 points9 points ago

He also breaks a picture frame, doesnt flush the toilet and steals the fucking xbox

[–]Jaripsi 4 points5 points ago

Mario has an Xbox? BLASPHEMY!

[–]emphaticleech 1 point2 points ago

He stomps on the xbox like a Goomba.

[–]Jrodkin 0 points1 point ago

Well his nose IS always red!

[–]nerogenesis 3 points4 points ago

So if Mario's parties are citizens doing insane tasks for coins and stars, does that make us the millionaire puppet-masters like in Rat Race?

[–]Sampetra 68 points69 points ago

SOURCE

Is it that hard to find?

[–]The_Mexorcist26 62 points63 points ago

Oh my god, do you not see the link on the bottom left corner of the picture????

[–]tr77 4 points5 points ago

No one links directly to sources because we as a group prefer imgur. I for one would not have clicked if it didn't work with RES. The link written into the comic is sufficient.

[–]jettrscga 8 points9 points ago

I agree that less people would click it if it was direct, but a group having an image hosting preference isn't really a valid excuse to avoid giving as much credit as possible.

I doubt more than 10 people would actually type that link in themselves whereas the artist will actually get hits from a link in the comments or post.

[–]bohknows 0 points1 point ago

Some artists (they don't speak for all of them, but still) have come here and said they preferred an imgur host, with a link to the original in the comments. Reddit often brings down websites if an image gets particularly popular.

[–]Rosie2jz -2 points-1 points ago

If it was a direct link the site would have crashed and someone would have made an imgur mirror anyway. Theres a link in the image itself that's enough for me.

[–]ipreferc17 1 point2 points ago

How is less people clicking on it giving more credit to the (already credited) artist? There's a reason the artist included the link on the comic itself. Only with comics do I see such a fuss made about this. No one is going to hunt down every source of every image just to "give as much credit as possible." I don't see a problem with it as long as OP isn't attempting to make people think it's his/her own work.

[–]Neeps89 4 points5 points ago

The artists get add revenue from the people who go to their website. Say 100 people click the imgur link. How many do you think will then go to the website? Most of us click it, then go "hahah" then move onto another link. If the link goes to the creators website, say 50 people only go, thats still more add revenue than the imgur method. That's the reason I always figured people care about direct links to the website.

[–]ipreferc17 1 point2 points ago

You're right. I just never see such a fuss made about any other type of images other than comics. OP found something funny - maybe s/he found it on the website, maybe not. It doesn't mean we should make them feel horrible about posting it. They were sharing it. If you feel that strongly about giving ad revenue to the artists, go to the web page, buy the artwork, click on the ads on their page and share the link in your own way. Personally, I stay away from clicking on full web pages for a single picture. I appreciate when people include both links - imgur and source. I just don't think it's worth slapping them over the head for not doing so.

[–]Onkelffs 6 points7 points ago

CAN SOMEONE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD EXPLAIN WHAT THE FUCK THE POINT OF HIS COMICS ARE ABOUT?!

PART 1

PART 2

PART 3

GODDAMMIT I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO ANGRY FOR NOT GETTING IT AS I AM NOW.

[–]jakemoney3 5 points6 points ago

I hate you for showing me those. There's just no...... point... But I feel like there should be, or maybe there is and I'm just missing it...

[–]chairitable 3 points4 points ago

Probably if you read the entirety of the archives, you would understand that these are characters with distinct personality traits. They're living their lives and drama ensues. The three parts you linked to are drama.

Not everything has to be related to videogames or cartoons? It just happens that they're going to see Ironman. This is essentially one character ditching his friends to be with his girlfriend because he thinks his friends suck (or something), only to be confronted by the gf and he realizes he's been the tool all along.

What do you not understand about this? it's standard human archetypes.

[–]thefrek 2 points3 points ago

standard human archetypes.

That is why reddit doesn't understand it.

[–]Lots42 1 point2 points ago

Bisexuals have complicated romances.

[–]AKluthe 0 points1 point ago

There's also this precursor strip which is intended to take place before the three you linked to.

There's not really a lot to not get...? Elliott is a screaming manchild who rages about everything (see: pretty much all the other strips). Jim dodged out on their Avengers group to go with his girlfriend, who hasn't been introduced to either Elliott or the reader.

Jim's girlfriend asks him why he's been keeping her a secret, and Jim realizes maybe he's being the jerk this time. Maybe Elliott has a little compassion and isn't just a raging monster.

One of the problems I face writing a comic that focuses around nerd humor is that some readers complain that every strip is about either Elliott being mad or a punchline that reads as "LOL MEGA MAN 2, M I RITE?". The comic risks becoming stale and repetitive without growth. But whenever a strip is about a little development I get "GOD, PEOPLE INTERACTING? DRAAAAMA." or "Wait, this isn't Mega Man 2. I don't get the punchline."

[–]Onkelffs 0 points1 point ago

I haven't followed the strip at all, I just thought that this one was neat. So then I decided to check out the latest ones(because that's the direction the new strips is going and a lot of strips use actual events in them).

Then I just looked at the latest and saw it was part 3, so I read the latest three of them - I didn't see any punchline in either one of the parts or in it as a whole. Being more into Cyanide & Happiness, XKCD and SMBC that lacks character development I've never felt the need to having connect the dots, certainly not look months back.

The Mario Party strip suggested this one was like the mentioned web comics, so then I got frustrated because I didn't know how to react, even when I looked at the latest before that I couldn't get it together.

My advice? If you tend to mix character development with "punch line"-style you could maybe put another "before" button that stringed the stories together. Maybe add something meaty and fix the "characters" page could certainly help.

[–]broden 1 point2 points ago

First reaction is that the guy is drawing his social life in order to deal with it. But no, I have no idea.

[–]AKluthe 0 points1 point ago

Yes, because everything you read in a comic is completely representative of the author's life.

It's just the interaction of the two characters in Nerd Rage.

[–]venicello 0 points1 point ago

The Hulk guy in No. 2 was pretty clearly a blackface joke.

[–]auspiciouslyArete 2 points3 points ago

I would love to see an entire storyline of Mario Party comics like this.

[–]DrZicter 7 points8 points ago

I prefer this one

[–][deleted] 34 points35 points ago

why is that comic so hard to follow..

[–]ShortFuse 2 points3 points ago

Because the author doesn't follow regular comic book text positioning. Sometimes it's Left=>Right and sometimes it's Up=>Down

For example, panel two and panel four should have the right side text vertically positioned below the left side text.

[–]F_Shack 1 point2 points ago

I don't get it.

[–]Jojopolo -3 points-2 points ago

I...have no real words for that. Thank you.

[–]aco620 3 points4 points ago

This is a pretty good analogy for what it's like posting something to Reddit. Either you crash and burn, or you get fake, useless points.

[–]TricycleGoblin 6 points7 points ago

If I haven't seen it, it's new to me...and I laughed for a solid 5 minutes at this. The more I read it, the more I laughed.

[–]LORDJEW_VAN_CUNTFUCK 8 points9 points ago

I laughed for a solid 5 minutes at this

No you didn't.

[–]Draziil 2 points3 points ago

burned? bitch please, i had a blister the size of a loonie and it bled for days....

...

Fucking Bowser tug of war.

[–]bombaal 10 points11 points ago

(For the non-Canadians, a Loonie = $1) Yeehaw!

did i do it right?

[–]flexiblecoder 3 points4 points ago

Actually 97 cents at the moment.

[–]Silverkarn 1 point2 points ago

I think he meant that one Loonie = one Canadian dollar.

[–]jakemoney3 1 point2 points ago

The tug of war and the "light the light bulb with a fucking bicycle" one were brutal.

[–]Catcross -5 points-4 points ago

Bitch, repost!

[–]Falcorsc2 11 points12 points ago

Is it just me, or is people calling out reposts just as bad as resposts if not worse?

Someone may see a funny image outside of reddit and think hey reddit would like this. And post it not knowing its a repost. But i feel people who say "zomg repost" are just karma whores who know they will get upvotes...

Becuase its not like calling repost actually accomplishes anything...the upvote/downvote system will take care of reposts if enough people have seen or care enough about reposts

[–]MixT 0 points1 point ago

They are definitely worse, they add nothing to the conversation and only take up space.

[–]Twiggy3 1 point2 points ago

I reckon that an immediate repost of someone else's original content is worth pointing out. Especially if they're claiming it as their own.

Obviously this isn't an example of that, but I reckon there is a time and a place for it.

[–]VultureCulture -1 points0 points ago

this was reposted less than a month ago. OP has been here 9 months. they have seen it at least 7 times now.

[–]Trevpedia 1 point2 points ago

That is assuming OP was monitoring Reddit constantly the past nine months, 24/7, going through every post. Chances are that OP has not even seen it once.

[–]rovotrovot 1 point2 points ago

Judging from the top comments, they're not the only one that noticed this monthly repost

[–]Leezus 0 points1 point ago

Yep, calling out reposts is completely useless. The people that have already seen it will know themselves it's a repost, and those that haven't seen it...well what do they care?

[–]Gashnor 2 points3 points ago

This was posted within the last few weeks, actually. Way too often, becomes less funny.

[–]_Jairus 1 point2 points ago

I get your point, and I've apparently upvoted you before. So you get another.

[–]catherined_93 0 points1 point ago

Mario's quite the sadist

[–]GuiloSinger 0 points1 point ago

I love how dark and dangerous Mario looks

[–]a_hundred_boners 1 point2 points ago

waluigi life

[–]Bob_Squob 0 points1 point ago

Anyone else seen Kaiji?

[–]redmercuryvendor 0 points1 point ago

Zawa... Zawa...

[–]Nayr39 -1 points0 points ago

I always played Wario. I would of played Bowser if I had the chance. I had a hard on for big bad guys when I was a kid.

[–]Call_Me_Joris 1 point2 points ago

Does this remind anyone else of Kaiji?

[–]MDBrokenArrow 1 point2 points ago

But the question is, what's worse? A Short fall into a pit of lava, or a fall from a skyscraper.

[–]Call_Me_Joris 0 points1 point ago

I'd say lava is worse because if you fall from a skyscraper you die before you hit the ground because your head can't take the pressure and your lungs die. While in lava, you feel your organs burn off.

[–]GazzaC 1 point2 points ago

If there was ever a game I miss playing, it is Mario party for the 64. :( I have 2 sisters and a brother and we used to play that stuff non-stop. Pity we then got a ps2 and forgot about it.

[–]Redplushie 0 points1 point ago

3 panel. My jimmies are rustled by how the mouth is drawn.

[–]AKluthe 0 points1 point ago

Why? A man can't have his lip obscured by a flowing, luxurious mustache?

[–]Srangelove 0 points1 point ago

He sure made a lot of money going through all those castles, what else would he do?

[–]clarque 1 point2 points ago

Mario Party. Also known as See How Fast You Can Hate Your Friends: The Game.

[–]Teekoo 1 point2 points ago

Reminds me of Kaiji.

[–]bluez0r 1 point2 points ago

this is really old

[–]mateiwork 0 points1 point ago

Childhood ruined in 3..2...1: Dude is obviously high. Talks to turtle-like villain Browser and does everything for the money. Just like a bro in the hood.

[–]Kosaki 0 points1 point ago

Just like mario party 9 right?

[–]zharshaw 0 points1 point ago

You wake up in the morning with no skin on the center of your palm....wondering what the fuck happened last night.

[–]thrashmaster 0 points1 point ago

aint no party like a mario party, cause a mario party is mandatory.

[–]anonymousHacker -5 points-4 points ago

Fuckin reposts...

[–]Dr_Wareman -2 points-1 points ago

I don't know why, but I always read Mario's line in Vegeta's voice.

[–]MudkipBaws -1 points0 points ago

Reposted about 90 times. Not even funny anymore.

[–]masuabie -5 points-4 points ago

Love the comic. Downvoting you for putting it on imgur and depriving the artist of his traffic. On /r/comics, your post would of been deleted.

[–]Bubonic_Ferret 0 points1 point ago

Stars are probably worth a lot of coins. High risk, high reward.

[–]taymeow 2 points3 points ago

heavy risk...but the priiiiiiiize

[–]appleskillz -2 points-1 points ago

It should've been waluigi not luigi cause waluigis not in the new Mario part

[–]maxto01 0 points1 point ago

this is a repost

[–]JVanity 0 points1 point ago

[–]AdziiMate 0 points1 point ago

I swear this has been reposted 100+ times now. I'm gonna wait 2 weeks and repost for free 500+ karma.

[–]fishtacos4evry1 -1 points0 points ago

So, is reposting the only way to get karma? Not that I really care, just an honest question.

[–]rovotrovot 1 point2 points ago

Honest answer: one of the ways. Others include cats, misspellings, and anything pictures with females posing inn front of something.
