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.

who the fuck is Allan?

[–]Gogandantess 9 points10 points ago

I'm glad I'm not the only one

[–]SubtlePineapple 2 points3 points ago

[–]CykoMelody[!] 4 points5 points ago

I saw this and I still didn't get all the hub bub with Allan....

[–]ohnoesbleh 2 points3 points ago

I think I understand. Allan was in charge of finishing certain elements, such as the object in the image, and was consequently given instructions. Having left the finishing touches incomplete, the parent was able to see the message that Allan never did.

All the subsequent pics seem to involve some sort of missing element in the game, and this is accounted for by blaming Allan.

[–]kreius 1 point2 points ago

Yeah I saw it too, didn't know it was the cause of it. I'm still confused about Adviseanimals and the whole thing about Metal. Never saw a single metal post.

[–]CarolineJohnson 1 point2 points ago

Upvoting because of source.

[–]VicYesterday 8 points9 points ago

Guys, seriously, what the heck is this Allan trend all about?!

[–]JoelMontgomery 9 points10 points ago

"Allan, please set up Gandalf's memory of this place."

Dammit Allan!

I unsubscribed from /r/AdviceAnimals for a reason

[–]lnsentience 7 points8 points ago

Same. I expected animals to give me advice. That subreddit is a lie.

[–]lolsail 0 points1 point ago

I thought "gaming" was latin for "adviceanimals"... TIL.

[–]tehpatriarch 5 points6 points ago

Really? I guess I always thought it meant "I used to play this game, karma please."

[–]Auflodern 1 point2 points ago

I thought it was dedicated to the worship of the Holy Trinity of:

Gabe Newell, Notch and [Allan put third person here]

[–]tehpatriarch 0 points1 point ago

I.. still don't know who this Allan person is :|

[–]Auflodern 0 points1 point ago

Maybe, we're all Allan.

[–]Schnretzl 0 points1 point ago

Funniest comment I've read this [Allan put span of time here]

[–]lolsail 0 points1 point ago

No, no, it's much more nuanced that that. It's "I'm pretending I used to play this game [that everyone else likes], karma please"

[–]tehpatriarch 1 point2 points ago

"Hey look at this "VERY POPULAR AND WIDELY DISTRIBUTED" gem I found!!

[–]james9075 1 point2 points ago

damn you sir. i posted this 3 hours ago in adviceanimals figuring it didn't have anything gaming related in the post and got 0 karma.

[–]Wubyums 0 points1 point ago

Why do nice guys always finish last? :(

[–]Demetrius82 1 point2 points ago

Allan*

[–]LJ_The2nd 2 points3 points ago

It's Allan,not Allen.

[–]Izlude 0 points1 point ago

Allen is funny, rather, was funny, the first time... Now not so much.

[–]ryanboomer 0 points1 point ago

[–]I_Am_Crake 0 points1 point ago

[–]Randy334 0 points1 point ago

Ouya serious?

[–]JohnnyHammerstix 0 points1 point ago

Would have given an upvote cause I did the same thing.... but you spelled it wrong. :(
