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.

[–]Invad3r 323 points324 points ago

The first thing I noticed was that guy on the left...

[–]Accipehoc 99 points100 points ago

  • Ooh let's see who I can find.
  • Lemme check that spot under the girls.
  • No black guy.
  • Hm alright, lemme check if there's a dick around.
  • No dicks.
  • Huh, nothing. What could it be?
  • Wait, what is that?
  • looks to the left
  • Is...Is that a guy?
  • It's gotta be a guy!
  • Or a masculine-looking girl?
  • BUT THE FACE. THE FACE.
  • IT HAS TO BE A GUY.
  • Oh hey, it's Ezio.

[–]MaverickHusky 36 points37 points ago

shlink and you're dead.

[–]italia06823834 23 points24 points ago

Requiescat in pace.

[–]BobTheSCV 10 points11 points ago

[–]Fweedom 81 points82 points ago

What else am I supposed to notice? Dude's staring so seductively...

[–]callmeWia 9 points10 points ago

What about the girl's teeth? Aren't they seductive too?

[–]ruskiman 11 points12 points ago

He is the actual assassin, the one in the middle is just a decoy.

[–]pisobarz 31 points32 points ago

is that the indian guy from big bang theory?

[–]MestR 47 points48 points ago

*laugh track*

[–]pineapple_catapult 10 points11 points ago

blah blah derpalerp string theory richard feynman!

[–]yodawgiherd 12 points13 points ago

laugh track no penny i was thinking blah blah blah last level of halo 2 laugh track

[–]mattzm 2 points3 points ago

The disturbing irony here is this is easier to understand than some of the continuously used comment responses and in-jokes on reddit.

I'm betting I could make big bucks of a show where redditors are made to watch BBT and I tape their whingeing.

[–]douglasr007 0 points1 point ago

I would watch it

[–]fullmetalraz 2 points3 points ago

Hey come on now where's the reality distorting atrocities induced by the laugh track?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I'm not a big fan of hearing it at all, but at least it isn't really a track per se and most of the reaction from the studio audience is genuine... I don't really understand why they get so much crap for that.

[–]Jftn 12 points13 points ago

I'm still not sure if this is some kind of meta joke and the person at the left is a dude or if people really didn't see the guy with the cape in the middle...

[–]BoatWizard 9 points10 points ago

I honestly didn't see the guy in the middle because I instantly saw the guy on the left. Clearly it works.

[–]onearmmanny 7 points8 points ago

Yep.

[–]Shaady 2 points3 points ago

Not gonna lie, I didn't really notice Ezio at first glance.

[–]SonicFlash01 7 points8 points ago

A throng of korean ladyboys preferred to be called "she"s.

[–]Flaaffyotters 3 points4 points ago

I'm trans and prefer to be called "she" or female pronouns. So?

[–]TheSecretMe 4 points5 points ago

Just out of curiosity do you tell people your preferred pronoun up front?

[–]Flaaffyotters 1 point2 points ago

I was only saying it because it was like the usual "Ladyboy, tranny, heshe." comments that the gaming community uses. I was simply saying I'm trans and so what if we prefer the term "she."

I just got slightly defensive thinking it was another gaming community dig at transgender Male to Females. sigh Just forget it.

[–]TheSecretMe 1 point2 points ago

It was honest curiosity really. There's a lot of gender flexibility out there ranging from regular guys who like dressing up as girls to people who got their appropriate body a little later in life than usual.

It makes it pretty hard for us gender binary folks to guess the appropriate and preferred pronoun right of the bat. So when it came up, I asked.

[–]Flaaffyotters 1 point2 points ago

I actually never get asked, as I always "pass" as female. I started hormone therapy young, so I always got mistaken for a girl as a teen. But I never like when people find out that your trans and like to call you a "tranny" or "he/she" it makes you feel gross and subhuman.

I didn't mean to sound rude in my reply by the way, or be sensitive over terms in the first place haha. Sorry. :)

[–]TheSecretMe 1 point2 points ago

You got nothing to apologize for. Sometimes people are just genuinely curious.

[–]too_many_penises 9 points10 points ago

NOBODY CARES.

[–]Faniz 3 points4 points ago

Lots of people care. (People who support transgender people and people who are transgender being the most obvious.)

[–]A1CArtwood -1 points0 points ago

Username clearly relevant.

[–]GunRaptor -1 points0 points ago

I agree with too_many_penises.

No one cares what you wish to call yourself, it's your choice and you're free to make it.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

exactly. so?

[–]LoveOfProfit 0 points1 point ago

I also seem to look at pictures from left to right, so the first thing I saw was the Indian maid-dude.

I'm still not over it.

[–]BLKSheep93 73 points74 points ago

Not fair! There are boobs!

[–]burntham77 14 points15 points ago

That's your answer to everything. And me too.

[–]esoomenona 6 points7 points ago

Not mine. My answer to everything is boobs. Wait...

[–]hecanbepedantic 4 points5 points ago

Quick, name 5 things that aren't boobs!

[–]esoomenona 27 points28 points ago

  • Melons
  • Jugs
  • Mosquito bites
  • Jackie Chan
  • Boobs

...shit

[–]memeaddictedchick 0 points1 point ago

Get your head in the game, man!

[–]Lasthcompany 0 points1 point ago

Upvote because Jackie Chan.

[–]ohmyjournalist 5 points6 points ago

Also, and I could be wrong, but the Assassin looks distinctly feminine as well.

Edit: Oh shit. Guy on our left in a maid costume...

Is it a guy?

[–]SamPole 87 points88 points ago

I read the text first. Ruined it for myself. :[

[–]alezul 23 points24 points ago

Yeah, he should have just said "random pretty ladies" or something in the title. I was looking for someone right at the start because of the title.

[–]Tangychicken 5 points6 points ago

The first time i saw this was without captions. I went "huh, a bunch of pretty girls in maid's outfits". It wasn't until I read the comments and went back to the picture that I saw the assassin.

[–]Dat_Gat_Tat 37 points38 points ago

First thing i saw was that guy.

[–]Ovurix 6 points7 points ago

[–]sipsyrup 32 points33 points ago

The girls are really not that attractive.

[–]BoonTobias 9 points10 points ago

I can't even get past those sharp knees

[–]Bass2Mouth 3 points4 points ago

And their elbows are just too pointy.

[–]MegaJawa 8 points9 points ago

2/10 would not bang

[–]The_Magnificent 2 points3 points ago

Cheerleader effect!

But really, the second from left is stunning.

[–]ArchCasstiel 118 points119 points ago

Am I the only one who actually noticed him from the get go?

Didn't even read the text, but it wasn't very hard to notice him Oo

[–]hobofats 32 points33 points ago

the awkward guy with the big hood over his face? I'm not sure how you could miss him since he is the focal point of the picture.

[–]Rfk55 20 points21 points ago

Pretty sure that's a girl. The guy is on the left.

[–]Frefer1386 1 point2 points ago

Same here, he was pretty obvious.

[–]callmeWia 0 points1 point ago

I had my eyes on the girls teeth right away...

[–]byITuseITbrkITReddIT 8 points9 points ago

Well that's my Halloween costume for this year sorted.

[–]SamPole 8 points9 points ago

Which one?

[–]byITuseITbrkITReddIT 25 points26 points ago

There's only one costume. Dress as an assassin, pay strippers to follow me around. Jumping out and jacking kids candy. I think it's pretty self explanatory.

[–]DouchebagSloth 5 points6 points ago

Are you sure he didn't want to dress up as one of the strippers?

[–]TAFK 6 points7 points ago

I wanted to dress up as the floor.

[–]ryy0 1 point2 points ago

The correct answer is to make the strippers out of cardboards and attach it to your costume.

It's, uh, Leonardo's latest invention.

[–]zibeb 7 points8 points ago

I never understood this. Oh, there's a fifth guy standing amongst a group of priests (who always travel in groups of four), who is visibly armed to the teeth. Surely it can't be the assassin we're looking for.

[–]theMagicalCouch 2 points3 points ago

Oh my! I saw him jump into that small, conveniently placed bale of hay! Where could he be?

[–]Thizzlebot 0 points1 point ago

I know right! It's almost like it's a game and not actually reality!

[–]aviatorzack 53 points54 points ago

I looked at the picture, didn't see him, read the text, read 'him' in the text, looked back up, applause.

[–]All_The_Memes 86 points87 points ago

IF THIS HAD BEEN AN ACTUAL ASSASSIN YOU WOULD BE DEAD.

GET IT TOGETHER aviatorzack!

[–]zaphodi 4 points5 points ago

Related: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJG698U2Mvo but i guess everybody has seen this.

[–]DisturbedPuppy 0 points1 point ago

I was like ....12....ooo a gorrilla.....13...

[–]tornadosgoOMNOM 5 points6 points ago

i always wonder, if ezio doesn't want to be noticed as an assassin, why does he dress like one?

[–]pesarchickr 7 points8 points ago

Assassins usually don't grin like idiots and have the jaw lines of michael cera

[–]epsenohyeah 11 points12 points ago

Yea, assassins would never teach someone their ways with those jaw lines.

[–]pesarchickr 4 points5 points ago

Michael Cera ~ "Teach me the ways of the assassins" Ezio ~ "I think you're more 'courier' material... Also i hate your jawline"

[–]abumpdabump 2 points3 points ago

The real question is.... will it blend?

[–]kbunneh 2 points3 points ago

His "aw yeah I'm in the middle of hot bitches" smile is the best part.

[–]gguy123 2 points3 points ago

Picture taken in the George R. Brown Convention Center.. Houston, TX.

Looked Familiar

[–]CookieOfFortune 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, it was from Comicpalooza last year. The original post is floating around Reddit somewhere.

[–]IamtheRobot 0 points1 point ago

That was the first thing I noticed was it was the GRB. Work there all to often.

[–]gguy123 0 points1 point ago

I use to be an in-house AV Tech there about a decade ago. The background immediately popped from my memories.

[–]throwaway_lgbt666 8 points9 points ago

if you were not looking at a photo you would probably spot him given your eye is able to deduce detail a lot better with movement and depth perception

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points ago

shit guys this one's debunked let's move on

[–]megabiceps 1 point2 points ago

but you'd notice scantily dressed women around him first

[–]throwaway_lgbt666 5 points6 points ago

oh yes... but as soon as I started masturbating the jig would be up

[–]Evanz111 11 points12 points ago

Seen it before, therefore he's the first one I recognised.

[–]Sharrakor 32 points33 points ago

"Yeah, I totally saw the gorilla. Well, sure, I've heard of this experiment, but still, I saw the gorilla."

[–]Killm360 1 point2 points ago

but did you see the gorilla then?

[–]MarshaIsYourFriend 8 points9 points ago

they all look like "him's"

[–]fistbeard 11 points12 points ago

They are.

Directed by M. Night Shamalongshamwow.

[–]xVerified -3 points-2 points ago

Just... no.

[–]Spytie 7 points8 points ago

Just... YES!!

[–]Laetha 1 point2 points ago

What a twist!

[–]hamburgersandfries 2 points3 points ago

Wut

[–]Aspel 1 point2 points ago

Not fair, he has two Courtesan groups instead of one.

[–]Goldmine44 1 point2 points ago

Well. I'd be dead.

[–]squiggothhunter 1 point2 points ago

Needs more cleavage

[–]Aemulus 1 point2 points ago

Desensitized to reddit, I was looking for something other than boobs.

[–]superdoobie 1 point2 points ago

Nope, he was the first thing I noticed in the picture, even with an incredibly slow load time.

[–]bumzo 1 point2 points ago

That's not blending this is blending

[–]Chrishenanigans 1 point2 points ago

I like his wry smile.

[–]AssCommander 1 point2 points ago

Danzig on the right!

[–]antiperistasis 1 point2 points ago

Would be funnier without caption. Not everything needs to be a motivational poster.

[–]Goosemonster 1 point2 points ago

A modern day Frank Abagnale

[–]Necrobard 1 point2 points ago

And yet another perfectly good picture ruined by the "demotivational" text.

[–]aselkhazaani 1 point2 points ago

I still can't see the black guy

[–]shryne 1 point2 points ago

I saw the girl on the right tripping on acid first. Love at first site.

[–]Naniwasopro 0 points1 point ago

It is Love at first sight.

[–]shryne 0 points1 point ago

I blame my phone's autocorrect

[–]KingSmoke 1 point2 points ago

french maids <3 <3 <3

[–]jonosvision 1 point2 points ago

Saw the guy first, but then again I'm gay and from the internet. I'm used to trying to find dick in a sea of tits.

[–]phreakiboi 0 points1 point ago

I'm also gay, but was not so lucky.

[–]Tee900 1 point2 points ago

First place my eyes went were the words... so no... it doesn't work if you have the answer in big noticeable print.

[–]bowser99 1 point2 points ago

For me, the total pedo smile gave him away

[–]sneezypanda 0 points1 point ago

agreed.

[–]JRadical21 1 point2 points ago

Are you talking about the dude dressed like a chick on the left?

[–]bosnianfuck 2 points3 points ago

Notice guy in the left corner?

[–]tonyh322 1 point2 points ago

By "him" do you mean the man dressed like a female maid on the left?

[–]aroundme 1 point2 points ago

you mean the dude on the left?

[–]FistThePooper6969 0 points1 point ago

bravo!

[–]nope_nic_tesla 0 points1 point ago

Took me about 1 second to notice him.

[–]KothasLT 0 points1 point ago

Notice what? I don't understand...

[–]CoNiGMa 0 points1 point ago

Hiding in plain sight.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I was expecting one of the maids to be a cross dresser.

[–]knighmare 0 points1 point ago

notice who?

[–]lactosefree1 0 points1 point ago

Blending: Admit it, you didn't notice it was a repost

[–]Mrcheez211 0 points1 point ago

Damn sneaky Klan members.

[–]phpworm 0 points1 point ago

my initial instinct is to pick out the hottest girl in the bunch, so of course i scan them all and notice the dude pretty quickly.

[–]synth22 0 points1 point ago

The dude in the Ezio costume needs to not smile.

[–]HilariousB 0 points1 point ago

I saw him immediately. Your title gave it away ;)

[–]Hernan-Crespo 0 points1 point ago

Oh shit lol.

[–]VideoScourge 0 points1 point ago

I noticed him straight away but then started looking for something else because it seemed too obvious.

[–]Yellowbird00 0 points1 point ago

Brazzers?

[–]Bluedemonfox 0 points1 point ago

I starting searching for him when I saw the word blending and it still took me a few seconds.

[–]SlimOpz 0 points1 point ago

i don't know why but i thought this had something to do with the hitman trailer at first glance.

[–]porkchameleon 0 points1 point ago

I confirm.

When I saw it, I...

[–]oconthedon 0 points1 point ago

Honestly noticed him first and I'm straight.

[–]payne6 0 points1 point ago

I am pretty sure I saw everyone in this picture...or did I?

[–]awrhaernnare 0 points1 point ago

I can walk through the non-smoking mall while openly smoking a cigarette and NOBODY EVER NOTICES. I'm sure some of the people behind me smell it afterwards and might realize that they really did see someone smoking, but they're just not used to it or something.

[–]ohcrocsle 0 points1 point ago

Why does he have 3 legs? or 1 leg? What the HELL is GOING ON HERE?

[–]Robears 0 points1 point ago

I did this with a pack of children dressed as blanket ghosts.

Best fucking halloween ever.

[–]SoThenISays 0 points1 point ago

Maybe I wouldn't have noticed him if the title of the post wasn't BLENDING..

[–]xSPYXEx 0 points1 point ago

Assassin's Creed IV will take place in modern days, where you can hide amongst groups of cheerleaders and their tits will prevent anyone from looking at you.

[–]AhmekRanger69 0 points1 point ago

He was actually the first thing I noticed.

[–]strikeralley 0 points1 point ago

Not relevant but I think this picture was taken at the George R Brown Convention Center in Austin, Texas.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Wouldn't have seen him until the knife was in my collarbone.

[–]YSCapital 0 points1 point ago

Noticed it immediately.

[–]Maezren 0 points1 point ago

I actually saw him right off the bat. Granted I was fairly amazing as a child when watching Sesame Street.

[–]Ordal 0 points1 point ago

Dude in the middle was literally the first thing I saw. Also the text is condescending and incorrect.

[–]Blitch 0 points1 point ago

REPOSTING It really works Admit it, you also saw this last month in r/gaming

[–]BoneSeer[S] 0 points1 point ago

ah actually. saw it on facebook this morning.

[–]ChairYeoman 0 points1 point ago

The only reason I didn't notice him was because I was looking for a black guy.

[–]dragonzfureh 0 points1 point ago

Saw the word blending, looked in the middle, immediately noticed assassin hood. I'm assassin-proof, beeches.

[–]DamnDishwasher 0 points1 point ago

Brazzers.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I noticed him from the thumbnail.

Hawk's eye.

[–]smpx 0 points1 point ago

I'm mostly impressed that some guy convinced a gaggle of girls to dress up like naughty maids to accompany him to a convention.

[–]Sablerage 0 points1 point ago

someone post the picture from Catch Me if You Can

[–]Sazaranthran 0 points1 point ago

Because this image is titled "Blending" an assassin was the first thing I looked for.

[–]Bad_Astronaut 0 points1 point ago

I read the title as "Bleeding". I was looking for much different things.

[–]Turtley 0 points1 point ago

Probably because I was looking at the girls. Duh?

[–]James_Wolfe 0 points1 point ago

Tottally though the title was "bending" so I was trying to spot the cross dresser.

[–]mask2697 0 points1 point ago

wait, what are we looking for? I was too busy staring at the breasts on the one to the right

[–]TheMultiEnabled 0 points1 point ago

I read the text and noticed him in one second. Why did you add text?

[–]Freefall22 0 points1 point ago

He was the first thing i noticed... what does this mean? =|

[–]qdale3 0 points1 point ago

What, the Indian dude far right dressed like a maid?

[–]xxxayu 0 points1 point ago

The girls are from Neko Neko maid and host club. They perform at conventions in Texas. I'm pretty sure they're all girls.....lol

[–]duz32 0 points1 point ago

I'd be smiling too mother fucker.

[–]Jonathan_Frias 0 points1 point ago

Possibly gives the question "Will it blend?" new meaning.

Let's not clear up the ambiguity on this one; think of all the awkward scenarios.

[–]NecroM0rph 0 points1 point ago

FALSE. He was the first person I saw.

[–]Epiicuros 0 points1 point ago

Maybe as a picture it might work on a few people. Imagine this group walking past, how are you supposed to not notice.

[–]Todomanna 0 points1 point ago

That's mainly because I read the captions first on these things.

[–]kombajnotron 0 points1 point ago

dat smirk

[–]FreeThinkerLee 0 points1 point ago

Honestly, I didn't notice for like 10 seconds of trying to figure out what was being blended in.

[–]Taurath 0 points1 point ago

Gay powers activate!!

[–]AshTheGoblin 0 points1 point ago

Gay smile you got there bro. I don't understand how you can manage to look gay when surrounded by female pornstars.

[–]lisabadcat 0 points1 point ago

I would be so requiesquating en pace, it's not even funny.

[–]PossiblyAsian 0 points1 point ago

trick question they are all guys.

[–]Samuel412 0 points1 point ago

I was just playing AC2 and wondering how hard it'd be to find this image. Thanks!

[–]Tokenique 0 points1 point ago

I looked straight at him...

[–]Gamemaster812 0 points1 point ago

I noticed it right away because this is r/gaming not anything else

[–]este_hombre 0 points1 point ago

All they need is gay guards and they'll find Assassins instantly.

[–]Scrabblet 0 points1 point ago

WHAT IS THIS WITCHCRAFT AND HOW CAN I GET A HOLD OF IT?!?

[–]lalondtm 0 points1 point ago

First thing I noticed. The guy in the middle is the best looking one of the bunch. And I'm not even gay

[–]JollyGator 0 points1 point ago

Shitty repost

[–]Chizum 0 points1 point ago

That was the coolest. Upvote for that kid.

[–]TheSuperNerd 0 points1 point ago

Anyone else notice his smile?

[–]andyfrank 0 points1 point ago

kinda loses the magic after the 1000th time it gets posted

[–]muscle_city 0 points1 point ago

I first noticed a guy in a hood surrounded by mildly/not at all attractive girls.

[–]Wyndikan 0 points1 point ago

This honestly surprised me. I am shocked.

[–]NateTheGreat424 0 points1 point ago

Ezio doesn't smile

[–]Spaghetti_Bender8873 0 points1 point ago

Oh shit!

[–]wiigamer1234 0 points1 point ago

i didnt notice anything lol!

[–]Suzushiiro 0 points1 point ago

My sister and her friends recently did this at a convention, only they weren't in matching outfits and instead of Ezio it was a famous-to-most-of-the-people-at-that-con author/artist (Andrew Hussie, creator of MS Paint Adventures, if you're curious) who wanted to get away from his table without being swarmed by fans.

[–]GelatinGhost 0 points1 point ago

Anybody could blend into a group of hot chicks (as long as a guy is observing)

[–]Ezuri 0 points1 point ago

evil picture on my cellphone, didn't notice either of them on first glance

[–]DerpMatt 0 points1 point ago

Saw him right away. Seriously...Ezio sticks out like a sore thumb. His outfit is, and always has been, fucking stupid.

[–]yourfrigginguide 0 points1 point ago

actually I did. He was the first person I noticed. He's the only one there that doesn't have a stupid look on his face.

[–]steelystan 0 points1 point ago

Yea really easy to blend in with such good looking women.

[–]madmonkeymud 0 points1 point ago

Order of noticing things:

*Girl in front on the left

*Girl in front on the right

*Hey, the one on the left isn't wearing a tag thing

*Why is Ezio standing behind them?

*Why the hell is the one on the left a guy?

*Reading text

*You're right it was third

*Who is Mike Boike?
