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.

Speaking of Steam Sales, Metro 2033 is $5 and Braid is $2.50 today. I suggest buying them if you have the funds ;).

[–]philphan25 7 points8 points ago

Braid's last level blew my mind.

[–]PKPenguin 0 points1 point ago

Did you know that there is an alternate ending involving stars? I don't want to spoil it for you, so I'll just point you to google.com.

[–]stubbzies 1 point2 points ago

Thank you so much for saying this, I've been meaning to pick up Metro 2033 for the longest time.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Add on Red Orchestra 2 for 10 bucks. The game won PC Gamer's FPS GOTY of 2011, and is extremely fun. They constantly release free content packs as well.

[–]RiskyChris 0 points1 point ago

Braid is $2.50? Shit, I already own it (and 110%'d it on 360) but I'm pretty willing to part with that cash to play it again on my PC. Anyone know if there's anything different on the PC?

[–]woofdg79 0 points1 point ago

I have it for PS3 and PC, and if the 360 version is like the PS3 version, then it's just like the PC version. :P

There are a lot that apply to this.

  • HUR DUR My download rate was misreported and looks like it downloaded at 8,000mb/s. It's funny because that couldn't really happen.

  • Oh look, guys, Steam says I last played a game in 1965. It's funny because steam didn't exist then.

  • Look guys, apparently I played a game tomorrow. So funny because it's today, not tomorrow. Tomorrow is actually tomorrow.

  • Oh my gosh, guys apparently this game costs 129382673123 MS Points on Xbox Live. It's funny because no one has those funds.

  • Anyone want a remake of this? I say "this" because then you have to view the image. It'd be too easy to tell you the title of the game.

  • Look what I got in the mail today.

That's all I've got off the top of my head.

Also, "Hey guys! This joke is old, no longer funny, and is like beating a dead horse!"

[–]GarthDunk 2 points3 points ago

I can't comprehend how meta this is getting.

(I see your point, though)

[–]Moncole 4 points5 points ago

I hate that. Also the people who go on the Xbox site and say "look when this gam is coming out, I will never play it"

[–]Transmorphed 1 point2 points ago

I made a post about a 0% off sale. It was bad and I felt bad.

[–]jazzberry76[S] 1 point2 points ago

At least you recognized its badness

[–]EliWallace 1 point2 points ago

anybody have any idea why memegenerator gives me a 101? ((net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset.)

[–]PKPenguin 1 point2 points ago

Sorry buddy, I don't know how to fix this, but here's an imgur link: http://imgur.com/2RMzf

[–]jazzberry76[S] 1 point2 points ago

Huh... I can see it fine... I'm not really sure. Anyone else having a problem?

[–]Amigobear 1 point2 points ago

the title and image sum up reddit in a nut shell.

[–]goodguynextdoor 0 points1 point ago

every week I see one of this.

[–]knighmare 0 points1 point ago

and yet this is the first I have seen of such posts

[–]inthemorning33 0 points1 point ago

If you guys are like me, I honestly don't even see them anymore. I am so desensitized to it.

[–]V2Blast[M] 0 points1 point ago

"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.

[–]therightclique -1 points0 points ago

What is the purpose of this post?

[–]Pinworm45 0 points1 point ago

Hopefully people see it and stop making posts like this.

[–]jazzberry76[S] 0 points1 point ago

Metaposting to point out the overabundance of those annoying posts showing Steam having a "sale" of 0% off.

[–]Rohm -1 points0 points ago

Reminds me of when The Consumerist kept running articles about pricing mistakes in stores several times a week. I think eventually they realized it was stupid and boring.

[–]White_Seven -2 points-1 points ago

ok can someone explain the stormtropper with sticks thing?

[–]GarthDunk 3 points4 points ago

What are they using those sticks to do?

[–]Parakoto 0 points1 point ago

Jerk off

[–]SirLaxer 3 points4 points ago

They're "beating a dead horse." It's a figure of speech.
