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.

Reminds me of Jack of Blades from Fable.

[–]racofunk 10 points11 points ago

suddenly HERO YOUR KARMA LEVEL IS LOW, WATCH THAT!

[–]Figgots 3 points4 points ago

I always thought that he whispered "What's that?" after saying my health was low.

[–]racofunk 1 point2 points ago

or HERO WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU MAN? YOU HAVE MISSIONS AND SHIT, FOO

[–]Hey_its_Mal 0 points1 point ago

What did he say? Cause that's what I thought he said.

[–]MrBoldMan 3 points4 points ago

Most badass person ever. Also a very demonic one.

[–]ChuckFiinley 2 points3 points ago

That's what I thought first.

[–]brad_harless2010 0 points1 point ago

I came here to say that. Fucking hivemind.

[–]kingbenofgeeks 0 points1 point ago

Hero your health is low, do you have any potions or food?

[–]Orval 0 points1 point ago

Anytime somebody mentions Fable I think they're talking about "Fables" so I get excited...then I get disappointed.

...

Just like Fable.

[–]Blubbey -1 points0 points ago

Yup.

I could identify all but the triceratops anyone know what that's about?

[–]Solais 0 points1 point ago

Did you mean the turtle with the spiked shell? They're called Spinys.

[–]noking 0 points1 point ago

There are triceratops in Super Mario World (called Reznors apparently).

[–]WilsonHanks 0 points1 point ago

That steampunk-ish looking bob-omb is amazing.

[–]ilikesuushi 15 points16 points ago

Need a wallpaper version

[–]mpuncekar 20 points21 points ago

I made up a quick wallpaper of Bullet Bill and Shy Guy at some requests. It's nothing too fancy though, hope it's an ok size. Enjoy

[–]TheNewmanator 9 points10 points ago

Now make him driving a go kart, Then we'll talk.

[–]sashimi_taco 9 points10 points ago

Shy guy is already terrifying.

[–]brolaire 12 points13 points ago

This makes him look a bit like Darth Nihilus from Knights of the Old Republic II.

[–]AlphaHotel_94 4 points5 points ago

Yup, I thought the same thing. I guess Shy Guys are just trying to hide the fact that they're voids in the Force.

[–]Tulkes 3 points4 points ago

Well, if Darth Nihilus shagged it up with Jack of Blades, we may have a winner.

[–]Differlot 9 points10 points ago

Scary SCP version of shy guy http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-096

[–]Naxza 5 points6 points ago

Beat me to it, but high fives for SCP association.

[–]Pointy130 1 point2 points ago

Replying so I can read that SCP sometime that isn't 2:40 AM.

[–]Delfishie 0 points1 point ago

The bit about the tiny spot in that person's photograph was the creepiest part.

[–]havensk 0 points1 point ago

I was seriously on this site til 2am just reading all the entries last night, then I woke up and forwarded the link to my work email so I could keep reading them.... DAMN

[–]Differlot 0 points1 point ago

read the part about the dot on the photograph.

Makes you wonder if that funny looking speck in your scrapbook is...

[–]Axmirza2 4 points5 points ago

Here's some more

[–]Zap-Brannigan 1 point2 points ago

some incorrect names :\

"sky koopa" = lakitu

"Mario pipe plant" = piranha plant

[–]BigZim 4 points5 points ago

imagine if Nintendo made a rated M Mario game.

[–]havensk 4 points5 points ago

This is my buddy Mike Puncekar. He has a bunch of Mario characters painted in this style.

[–]aikoekadan 1 point2 points ago

...This is also my and my boyfriend's buddy Mike Puncekar. Now I wonder if we know you. ಠ_ಠ

[–]havensk 0 points1 point ago

Did you go to CCAD?

[–]aikoekadan 0 points1 point ago

Nope. My boyfriend went to high school with Mike.

[–]brettspace 0 points1 point ago

I also happen to know Mike Puncekar. He was my good friend's roommate for a while

[–]Runningman4107 0 points1 point ago

Mike Puncekar and I go way back. We're like, best buds forever and he invites me to his birthday parties and everything. No homo.

[–]SkullOMania13 2 points3 points ago

Reminds me of Journey.

[–]outofmytree 0 points1 point ago

God, what a stunningly beautiful game.

[–]c010rb1indusa 2 points3 points ago

That's actually the leader of the dementors.

[–]Xavter 2 points3 points ago

Reminds me of a dragon priest

[–]HavocSynapse 0 points1 point ago

Looks like a minion of LoL

[–]Pointy130 1 point2 points ago

I thought it looked more like a bladeless Nocturne.

I can imagine it now... DAAAAAAARKNEESSSSSSSS and this fucking thing flies out of the jungle at you...

[–]HavocSynapse -1 points0 points ago

Ah I just played a game with a Nocturne, and you are right sir.

[–]projectfarman 1 point2 points ago

damn dude that's tight. What else you got?

[–]therealalissa 1 point2 points ago

/r/alternativeart :D

[–]HardDiction 1 point2 points ago

Has Diablo III got you using 'nightmarish'?

[–]Puffy_Ghost 1 point2 points ago

Nintendo needs to make a survival horror Mario game, with a whole lot of these dudes in it.

[–]CausionEffect 0 points1 point ago

I want to see this, a Dry Bones, and a Nightmarish version of Boo. Perhaps with a bit of the Clock Tower series of video games flavor thrown in there. No destroying them, just running to survive and attempt to keep your sanity intact as long as possible.

[–]chachemander 1 point2 points ago

shy guy and jack of blades had sex one day, and Hhammoud0561 found the offspring

[–]SecretCobraz 1 point2 points ago

Repost

[–]Hhammoud0561[S] 0 points1 point ago

Most of reddit contains re posted links from some part of the world-wide web, because the amount of information it contains is virtually unlimited. My philosophy: You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.

[–]SecretCobraz 0 points1 point ago

Oh I wasn't bashing you or anything like that, I agree with your philosophy entirely.

I guess I have just been on reedit long enough I start noticing reposts, or rather to notice content seen/posted here before.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Let's make a pros vs cons list for shy guys.

PROS:

  • Easily defeated by the heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom.
  • They have a sweet toy box.
  • They come in all different colours.

CONS:

  • They're awfully shy.
  • Not the nicest guys in the Kingdom.
  • Their shenanigans can be quite annoying.

VERDICT: Shy Guys are a bunch of ne'er-do-wells and ruffians.

[–]MainTheDread 0 points1 point ago

Ok this is actually damn badass.

[–]Player2017 0 points1 point ago
