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.

Here I COME to save the DAYYYY! Images from other angles:

[–]Kensin 2 points3 points ago

Damn, until today I had no idea this guy was a real person!

[–]foofdawg 0 points1 point ago

Seriously? I half wonder if you are just trolling...

I'd never heard of Chuck Mangione (though I had certainly heard some of his tunes, I'm not a big music guy) until watching King of the Hill, but I somehow knew that it was a real person they were "impersonating" and using.

[–]Kensin 0 points1 point ago

I figured he might a parody of someone, or maybe even just a caricature of the sort of person who would be the spokesperson for Mega-Lo-Mart. I remember that I considered that I have no idea who walmarts spokesperson is, but maybe it's a jab at that guy (I still have no idea who the spokesperson for walmart is or if they even have one).

[–]foofdawg 0 points1 point ago

I think the closest they have come to a spokesperson since Sam Walton died is the little smiley face guy who lowers prices on their commercials.

[–]jeharu 0 points1 point ago

an awesome album! i had it on vinyl before it was posted on reddit /hipster

Come down to Megalomart; where the savings "Feel so Good!"

How many times: Try to open link in RES, "wtf why is it taking so...oh."

[–]wickz 12 points13 points ago

hover zoom

[–]kryptykk 7 points8 points ago

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I just started using RES about 3 weeks ago, so combined with this new HoverZoom ability, I feel like I can conquer the internet... or just browse Reddit faster.

[–]wickz 3 points4 points ago

You're welcome (:

[–]xenonscreams 0 points1 point ago

This application is not supported on this computer. Installation has been disabled.

What.

[–]FuckShitJesus 8 points9 points ago

Hoverzoom is your answer (for chrome users)

[–]shajurzi 2 points3 points ago

The only way to browse reddit ;)

[–]samsaBEAR 0 points1 point ago

Just did it and genuinely thought my mouse had broken

[–]foofdawg 0 points1 point ago

Please enlighten me on this function of RES. I only installed it so I could save individual comments (rather than posts).

I have used hoverzoom, which is awesome, but I'm not sure what you mean by "open link in RES". What did I miss?

edit: There is a drawback to hoverzoom, which is that the image links are not shown as "viewed" when you see them again (reload the page or view reddit on another device)

[–]unsomnia 10 points11 points ago

You have my thanks!

[–]ishtari 4 points5 points ago

I came to the comments for this, thank you!

[–]SlapYourHands 2 points3 points ago

Until I saw this, I thought he had actually painted in the brick outlines at crazy angles so it would give the image a cool transparent look...instead of just thinking he used thin layers to give the image a cool transparent look.

[–]bowlnoodlez 1 point2 points ago

Is that chalk? If so, what kind, I've always wanted to try my hand at chalk art.

[–]funkmastamatt 1 point2 points ago

In the second pic, it looks like he is painting. Unless you can paint chalk these days, I'm kind of out of touch with the chalk art world.

[–]RedhandedMan 0 points1 point ago

Well I'll be damned.

[–]towehaal 0 points1 point ago

Also chalk is dusty when you put it on a brick sidewalk like that. So by using a brush you can evenly spread the chalk coverage of the uneven surface.

[–]edwinisradd 2 points3 points ago

Upvoting not for the images...but for the Mighty Mouse reference.

[–]EmceCocks -1 points0 points ago

Obligatory.

[–]thejesse 0 points1 point ago

in that first one is he holding a tray with the paint/chalk in it, or is that an iphone displaying his design on a grid or something?

[–]drashubxvi 0 points1 point ago

Haha thank you so much! I came to the comments to ask if it could only be viewed like that from one angle. :D

[–]RockingTheRitz 0 points1 point ago

That was only one image..

Edit: Reclicked link, images loaded. Statement null.

[–]h_smith 0 points1 point ago

I like that you put emphasis on the word "come"

Alternative, non flickr link here.

I am often telling others though that sometimes you ride the karma train, and sometimes she leaves you at the station because she is a fickle woman Karma is.

[–]Maloxy 21 points22 points ago

The Russian judge will penalize them heavily for the lack of Blinky.

[–]Jrodkin 14 points15 points ago

Blinky's there, I think he just got eaten for fifty points, right behind PacMan.

[–]GoesToEleven 0 points1 point ago

The other ghosts should be blue or flashing white/blue if Blinky was in an "edible" state. Plus, his eyes would be travelling to the center. If this were a movie, this scene would be listed in IMDBs goofs.

[–]gb003k 9 points10 points ago

As a minor expert in Pac-Man, I can attest that the points from eating a ghost can last longer than the flashing stage, you can eat a ghost on their last flash and the points won't show up until the other ghost are solid colors. This is at least true in the original.

So this scene is not necessarily wrong.

[–]jasuess 0 points1 point ago

And there are no giant orbs to set them in flash mode in the corners... Instead... Cherries? THE LOGIC!

[–]gb003k 0 points1 point ago

You have me there, can't explain that. Better for the art I guess

[–]Jrodkin 1 point2 points ago

[–]tanjoodo 1 point2 points ago

Well, now my previous comment is irrelevant. (a good thing)

Time to delete it ;)

[–]Maloxy 0 points1 point ago

200 point for eating a ghost. -5 points Ravenclaw.

do fruits even spawn in the corner?

What the christ? Why isn't this at the top? UPBOATS FOR YOU! Up up up up!

[–]shajurzi 19 points20 points ago

The 3D Sidewalk art always impresses me, but what I really like to see are the other angles that show just how complicated this art is.

[–]Squirry 10 points11 points ago

This! It always bugs me that only the "right" angle is shown.

[–]darksabrelord 2 points3 points ago

check out shajuri's comment above!

I'd love to see some in person, but I don't live anywhere cool enough I guess.

I know. All this is meaningless without someone making the wakka sound. Thank you.

[–]brinstar117 2 points3 points ago

Totally reminds me of Pac-Mania for the NES.

Wikipedia entry

[–]AndyAlfredo 1 point2 points ago

They remade this for a Namco Museum game. One of my favorites, but you had to get 25k on Ms Pacman to unlock it, and I was never very good at Pacman...

[–]Niner_ 0 points1 point ago

That's one of my favorite NES games. It doesn't seem like much but things get intense when the speeds change to super fast.

[–]implodingporcupine 3 points4 points ago

Must be shit for the people on the other side

[–]Insignificant_Being 2 points3 points ago

That would be amazing if you switched sides and it looked like this!

[–]BaZing3 1 point2 points ago

I was amazed at how he put in enough detail to draw the texture of the bricks underneath. Then I realized I'm an idiot and apparently don't know how chalk works.

[–]Victory33 1 point2 points ago

This artist has probably never played the game, judging from the look of the map.

[–]Vorcyn 1 point2 points ago

Not sure if actually 3D or just getting mindfucked...

[–]Lancer37 1 point2 points ago

[–]cheapdvds 1 point2 points ago

From the way it is going, I would eat the 2 balls in front of me and turn around for the 50. Don't joke about the balls please, I don't know the official names.

[–]PissBlasta 0 points1 point ago

Doesn't the 50 represent the points earned from the last ball that was eaten? You might want to re-evaluate your ball eating plans.

[–]Alexhn 1 point2 points ago

You know, I've always wondered what all these 3D arts look like from a different point of view.

[–]Geminidragonx2d 0 points1 point ago

Want to see from different angles!

[–]SirFern 0 points1 point ago

That guy has got some awesome blue pants.

[–]ch0colate_malk 0 points1 point ago

its awesome how the end of it almost looks like it is reflecting the brick

[–]WarrenDavies81 0 points1 point ago

As a rug, that would sell fuckloads. Fuckloads of rugs. Would be sold. With that on them.

[–]SkunkMonkey 0 points1 point ago

Looks like the work of Julian Beever. This dude does some of the most amazing work you will ever see.

[–]Ovary_Puncher 0 points1 point ago

Oh, I thought this was going to be a 3D Tupac.

[–]Monkeychimp 0 points1 point ago

These things never cease to amaze me.

[–]Insignificant_Being 0 points1 point ago

....and then it rained.

[–]mastaa 0 points1 point ago

i will assume this will only look right from this angle.

[–]skocznymroczny 0 points1 point ago

Nice repost, I saw it four days ago

[–]GrosSaucisson 0 points1 point ago

Showed this to my buddy... His reaction was "Damn, thats so awesome... But it's not pacman-ically correct, cherries are never in the corner."

[–]JackShep 0 points1 point ago

Anyone else trying to figure out the route pac-man must have took to be in that situation? mind fuck

[–]heimdal77 0 points1 point ago

I think the ghost are cheating...

[–]WTFisBehindYou 0 points1 point ago

3D street art always blows my mind, I've never seen any in person but I can't wait until the day that I do.

Also, a cherry in the corner? C'mon!

This is awesome. Reminds me of my pac man playing days.

Fuck yes.

[–]Jov_West -1 points0 points ago

Pretty sure this is 2D.

[–]HighSorcerer 1 point2 points ago

I don't know why you're getting downvotes, you're technically correct.

The image is drawn in 2D, the 3D effect is just an optical illusion.

[–]mobuco -1 points0 points ago

i submit this first and get nothing...you submit it and get tons of upvotes

[–]WeLoveKanjimari -1 points0 points ago

I feel like the line on the street really messes with this.

Like, the street itself is still a flat object. There's no depth to its appearance. So that line which appears "above" the left wall messes with the depth of that same wall, because you can tell from the road under the drawing (lower left) that said line is on a contiguous flat surface. It messes it up.

[–]phozee -1 points0 points ago

That PacMan sucks. He really ate everything surrounding the 50, turned around every time he got up to it.

[–]cantbsrs -2 points-1 points ago

Bigger res anyone? :D

[–]imZenqii -2 points-1 points ago
