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.

I see the character of Mr. Bean in every face he pulls.

He's not Rowan to me... He is Mr. Bean...

[–]Sammouse 27 points28 points ago

Watch blackadder! Problem solved! (well it works for me, haha)

[–]Juliendnb 8 points9 points ago

The sideways glance the dog gives is perfect.

You found this GIF and tried to think up a hypothetical gaming-related situation to go with it, didn't you?

[–]EagleBurn 7 points8 points ago

You just explained 90% of the gifs on reddit.

[–]johnmedgla 2 points3 points ago

Wow. 10% of the gifs posted are directly relevant? Please God link some of them, I'm inordinately curious to see what they're like.

[–]RobFireburn 1 point2 points ago

Seriously, it works too well

From the sidebar.

This does not belong in /r/gaming at all.

[–]kbarnett514 9 points10 points ago

Agreed. Try r/reactiongifs

[–]V2Blast[M] 1 point2 points ago

You are correct.

[–]PolarTX 2 points3 points ago

GAMING IS SERIOUS BUSINESS! STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME LAUGH IN /R/GAMING!!1!

[–]Syn7axError 5 points6 points ago

That's exactly the difference though. /r/reactiongifs is the subreddit for that.

No it doesn't.

[–]corbett656 -4 points-3 points ago

672 people think it belongs here.

[–]V2Blast[M] 3 points4 points ago

And those people are, in fact, wrong, because it breaks the clearly stated rules.

[–]corbett656 0 points1 point ago

I just never got why mods/subreddits don't just let the voting system do the work. Allow the users to be in control of what they think belongs. But then again, you're a mod and I'm sure you know the troubles of such a system and constant unrelated circlejerks.

Edit: See comment below

[–]V2Blast 1 point2 points ago

I assume you meant "why mods/subreddits don't just let the voting system do the work".

It's something that's been often discussed in /r/TheoryOfReddit... There are a multitude of reasons.

[–]corbett656 -1 points0 points ago

Okie dokie, thanks for responding.

[–]gaminggeek12 3 points4 points ago

Wait.... WHAT THE FUCK!? HOW DID... WHA- well... I mean.. Ok I'll let that one slide...

[–]SamTheManWithThePlan[S] -1 points0 points ago

Damnit that made me laugh.

[–]sonikk 3 points4 points ago

LOL, pretty much. What is the original context of this clip?

[–]MaxPowerzs 5 points6 points ago

fingers crossed for Rowan Atkinson watching StarCraft

[–]iAmLegion3614 13 points14 points ago

Rowan Atkinson watching the Formula One Indian Grand Prix October 2011. Lewis Hamilton tried to over take Felipe Massa which resulted in him crashing. Rowan is super big on his driving/racing.

[–]MrJacoste 7 points8 points ago

He is a pretty talented driver. Love that man.

[–]thrilldigger 2 points3 points ago

[–]Ihaveanusername 2 points3 points ago

Not saying this is related, but I believe he got degrees engineering before entering acting. Maybe in a future in cars. Man, it would be a different world without Mr. Bean.

Edit: he has two degrees. Very impressive.

[–]PugnaciousPolarBear 3 points4 points ago

Degrees in electrical engineering from newcastle and Oxford. IMDB.

[–]Ihaveanusername 1 point2 points ago

Goes to show how much I know him. Good for him. He's funny and smart. You listening Hollywood? :)

[–]Serial_Philatelist 2 points3 points ago

He has a Masters in Electrical Engineering, actually.

[–]Ihaveanusername 1 point2 points ago

Impressive. Well, there's his love for cars.

[–]iAmLegion3614 1 point2 points ago

I know crazy right. Life just wouldn't be as good with out Blackadder.

[–]BeatlesForSale 1 point2 points ago

F1 race.

[–]MarkHawk 4 points5 points ago

I vaguely remember seeing this at the time. He was watching a Formula one race. I guess something bad happened for one of the british drivers...

[–]2goals1Cup 1 point2 points ago

Watches plane until it eventually crashes. Then thinks to himself how cool the explosion was.

[–]EagleBurn 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for confirming this has to do with online gaming.

[–]TwistedIntents 0 points1 point ago

so true.

[–]WilmaDickfit -1 points0 points ago
