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.

If a seven foot tall man throws a basketball full force into my head, I am going to stand there and not even flinch!!! or not.

[–]occupythekitchen 45 points46 points ago

acting is definitely a big part of professional sports

[–]BonKerZ 5 points6 points ago

This is why I love basketball. Ginobili's acting is so awesome.

FLOP MORE BLAKE

flop city bitch, flop flop city bitch.

That delayed reaction to getting hit by a ball is quite possible. If you get hit hard enough in the head you could have a small black out while still standing, just fast enough to wake up from said blackout and feel the effects of the ball. It could happen in a matter of a few seconds and your brain will tell you it just happened, so you react accordingly. Just like counterstrike and you lag then get shot and don't know what happened.

[–]johndoev2 5 points6 points ago

i can confirm this... was just walking randomly when a ball just suddenly boop'd me. just stood there for 2-3 seconds before I said "ouch" and fell to the ground

[–]slyguy183 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, but highly doubtful a basketball can do that, let alone a basketball thrown like that (as opposed to thrown like a fastball) to a full grown extremely strong individual.

[–]Kreivi 0 points1 point ago

Also these guys are big and fit and looking how the guys head jolts suggests it was quite a punch.

[–]Deepmist -1 points0 points ago

Blacking out usually doesn't involve whipping your head backwards, squatting down and rolling safely onto your back while you grab your head.

read his comment again..

[–]Morirete 4 points5 points ago

This looks a lot like he's registering the force of his Brain colliding with the back of his skull, either that or he didn't time it very well. Actually both.

[–]A_reddit_user 3 points4 points ago

Was that a scream, or an Ewok battle cry?

[–]danetesta 5 points6 points ago

From the comments: "She wasn't faking it. There was a picture of Chuck Norris on the paper." Brilliant.

[–]DanielM4713 2 points3 points ago

Yes, chuck norris jokes are always funny.

[–]PoopyMoosh 0 points1 point ago

I might be dumb for saying this, but I detect subtle sarcasm here.

[–]cakes 0 points1 point ago

Or retarded.

[–]james9075 8 points9 points ago

good gif, though it might be better placed in /r/gifs or /r/funny

[–]feralkitsune 4 points5 points ago

Pfft, basketball is a game.

[–]james9075 4 points5 points ago

i have no counter argument. have my upvotes

[–]FortuneJake 5 points6 points ago

Actually in the sidebar it says "A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports)."

[–]Roige 0 points1 point ago

Lag is related to gaming.

[–]Red-Pill 2 points3 points ago

Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

[–]feralkitsune -1 points0 points ago

But...gaming is a sport. So does that mean we can't post anything relating to games that are played competitively? So, no Starcraft stuff? Or Fighting Games? Or Quake?

[–]verygod 1 point2 points ago

seems about 100ms ping to server indeed

[–]chrisc098 1 point2 points ago

Used to play Diablo 2 with dial up. Took me a while to figure out I wasn't being attacked by invisible enemies when the damage would catch back up.

[–]Ralome 1 point2 points ago

Is 88 a normal Jersey number?

[–]PhilxBefore 2 points3 points ago

Any number is pretty normal.

[–]talitus -5 points-4 points ago

I'm sure it would look like less of a delayed reaction if it was playing full speed.

[–]Perdikkas 5 points6 points ago

How do you figure? I watched the other players and it seemed normal

[–]talitus -4 points-3 points ago

Just how slow he fell.

[–]darkreef2[S] 6 points7 points ago

This is a normal speed gif, brah. No slow-mo whatsoever.

[–]talitus 0 points1 point ago

Really? Hmm.

[–]Malsententia 0 points1 point ago

Still looks a tad slow to me. Anyone have a source vid?
