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.

"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.

[–]nowatermelonnokfc 26 points27 points ago

educational? no.

[–]Don_Dakota 2 points3 points ago

This. It is an (american) bias view on things.

[–]SirCowMan 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, there a bunch of historical inaccuracies. They were detailed the last time this was reposted.

[–]PARANOiA_300 23 points24 points ago

Old, but still entertaining

[–]InterstellarPancake 1 point2 points ago

ZOMG REPOST

[–]yroc12345 4 points5 points ago

There was a non-gif text based version of this. I'm sure where it is though.

EDIT: Here it is, http://www.strategypage.com/humor/articles/military_jokes_20057151.asp

"Questionable tactics" What a cute way of saying genocide.

[–]nich959 9 points10 points ago

This GIF is older than the internet!

[–]SafMan 7 points8 points ago

"Don't be a commie....oops too late" haha something Churchill would probably say.

[–]Del_Castigator 3 points4 points ago

'Yes, Madam, I am drunk, but in the morning I shall be sober and you will still be ugly.'

[–]PhotonMalaise 0 points1 point ago

Nothing you idiots. Churchill's dead, he's locked in my basement.

[–]castellar 0 points1 point ago

[–]ice_cream_college 1 point2 points ago

[–]Wagnerous -1 points0 points ago

Amazing.

[–]Utenlok -1 points0 points ago

That was so awesome

[–]kyle47 -1 points0 points ago

Who needs a textbook when you've got this gif?

[–]Garian1 -1 points0 points ago

That was SO LONG!

[–]TehGankerer -1 points0 points ago

I was gonna say "wtf does this have to do with gaming?" but then I remembered that most people don't speak like that which incidentally reminds me of why I don't have a girlfriend.

[–]caledones -1 points0 points ago

This is how I imagine an online multiplayer of Civ to go...

[–]jdog90000 -1 points0 points ago

lol what game is this?

[–]Captain_Aizen -1 points0 points ago

I like the part where Hitler flips out cause the US has a huge army right after the depression "OMG HAX!"

[–]TheDietTaco 0 points1 point ago

Reposted every day, sorry, great post but gets my downvote.

[–]WEJ19 0 points1 point ago

So much win.

[–]cornholio12 0 points1 point ago

Lighten up people. It's an old joke about gamers playing team-based RTS games that just used historically familiar figures as the players. Not meant to be award-winning objective historical commentary.

I forget sometime how serious people get over the most mundane shit. All the OP had to do was remove "as well as educational," from the headline, and it would have probably avoided 90% of these uptight posts.

[–]Durch -5 points-4 points ago

This says more about the american education system than world war 2.

[–]dasredditnoob -2 points-1 points ago

WTF America is totally OP!

[–]Boozdeuvash -2 points-1 points ago

I suppose you mean educational on online gamer's terrible attitude, because it ain't on WWII history.

[–]shmeerbert -1 points0 points ago

This is anything but ecudactional...

[–]BruschiOnTap -2 points-1 points ago

This was posted no less than a month ago :) funny though.

[–]mbluhm36420 -5 points-4 points ago

Thats how war will be in the future

[–]HardCorey23 -3 points-2 points ago

"Here's a really old repost." I always find these titles funny.

Is a classic gif though.

[–]sappapp -3 points-2 points ago

Oh come on this isnt that old guys! (and then I remembered how long I have been browsing reddit)
