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.

[–]RathboneLLJK 14 points15 points ago

Isn't that a Sam quote? Probably more accurate too.

[–]Philthey 5 points6 points ago

It is indeed.

[–]bluepunchbuggy 1 point2 points ago

It's Sam who says it, but he's offscreen when he does, so the subtitle of that line goes with an image of Jon Snow.

[–]TaintedSquirrel 5 points6 points ago

Plus, Sam is fat and nerdy which makes the quote a little more relevant.

[–]scruffy01 22 points23 points ago

I once lost an entire summer to Harvest Moon 64.

No regrets.

[–]LeMeowman 4 points5 points ago

That's because Harvest Moon is one of the coolest games ever!

[–]scruffy01 3 points4 points ago

Haven't found one since HM64 worth playing.

[–]LeMeowman 1 point2 points ago

That was the best of the series. The others were missing that same feeling, and Karen, they were missing Karen.

[–]nordegrafgaming 4 points5 points ago

Karen was actually on Friends of Mineral Town for the GBA, i actually enjoyed Save The Homeland and A wonderful life remake for the ps2 (I didn't have a gamecube), but honestly, I love harvest moon 64 with all of my nostalgia tinted glasses, but Friends of mineral town is a close tie.

[–]ToastarusMaximus 2 points3 points ago

I played the hell out of friends of mineral town, but I could never figure out how to get married. I was probably better off anyway.

[–]V2Blast 1 point2 points ago

Haha, wasn't just you.

[–]nordegrafgaming 1 point2 points ago

getting married in FoMT is basically the same as in HM64, you get the blue feather, the person must be at red heart level, you have to have seen the persons events, but there are a couple of things that are new, there is the shopping network that you have to own all items for, and basically have your house fully upgraded, and after 50 years of marriage she'll give you a mountain cottage =D although i think that the family thing was handled a lot better in A Wonderful life

[–]ToastarusMaximus 0 points1 point ago

Dude, I got to purple heart level. ONCE.

[–]nordegrafgaming 0 points1 point ago

Joke: Did you have to fight in a war to get it? Serious time: the purple heart is a fairly new thing i think, it's on the DS ones and I haven't played the DS ones at all.

[–]ToastarusMaximus 1 point2 points ago

Oh, really? Fuck, I guess that was just black.

[–]Youdontevenlift 4 points5 points ago

I've lost countless summers to Dynasty Warriors :I

[–]scruffy01 4 points5 points ago

A fellow Dynasty Warriors fan? Where the hell have you been hiding.

I just picked up 7 and was very disappointed in it :( No co-op story mode? Who's brilliant decision was that?

I went back to 6, having fun.

[–]LeonTrotsky_on_speed 0 points1 point ago

Fuck I loved Dynasty Warriors. Pang Tong, that's who I liked playing as. I remember Lu Bu being a big stress-causer.

[–]zsotty4 0 points1 point ago

I have a whole summer in fallout 2 and wow, and everquest and league of legends ...and dota...I'll show myself out.

[–]Wackywokwilly 1 point2 points ago

Closest thing I ever had to a relationship. I wish I could be teleported into that game.

[–]Madular 9 points10 points ago

I don't. Can't miss something if you never had it !

[–]lonko 2 points3 points ago

Haha, I totally agree! sigh...

[–]BaronLaladedo 12 points13 points ago

I miss human interaction besides my family.

[–]TehWut 8 points9 points ago

all you people miss human interaction? fuck that shit, dungeons need to be conquered and speed runs need to be made!!!

[–]BaronLaladedo 1 point2 points ago

except im not doing either of those.

[–]EntingFantastic 1 point2 points ago

That feel when you're done a game and go outside and look at people, then you realize real life is whole 'nother game.

Semi-epic music begins.

[–]BaronLaladedo 1 point2 points ago

what drugs are you on?

[–]EntingFantastic 0 points1 point ago

The drug of life bro.

[–]KalAl 15 points16 points ago

will be removed.

Maybe if this actually happened, we'd see less of these submissions...

[–]V2Blast[M] 5 points6 points ago

Happens way more than you see, buddy.

[–]PenorMcLong 7 points8 points ago

yeah all those bottom feeder submissions are just crying their eyes out. the 12 on the front page are cool though, nobody will see those so no need to remove them.

buddy.

[–]V2Blast 1 point2 points ago

I just checked... I saw 3. I removed them.

If you see a rule-breaking post, it helps to report and/or message the mods.

(A few others were questionable, but not entirely unrelated to gaming.)

[–]HappyStance 0 points1 point ago

Why haven't you removed this one?

[–]V2Blast 0 points1 point ago

AutoMod removed this post even before I commented. You can still see it if you have a link to the thread (like the one provided by this reply).

[–]AuRinBei 3 points4 points ago

I'd just like to remind you that /r/games exists now and doesn't have these problems.

[–]Islandre 1 point2 points ago

While not a hard and fast rule I think when subreddits get bigger the low-effort and off-topic content becomes more prominent. I'm always slightly torn about plugging good subs (like /r/games) because I think it's an inherent characteristic of how reddit works that more traffic past a certain point is bad. That said, I still think you should because it's disgustingly elitist and self-interested not to. Anyway, carry on.

[–]AuRinBei 1 point2 points ago

/r/games mods do their job though, so it shouldn't be a problem even if it gets big. And the fact that /r/games mods do their job should prevent it from growing too quickly.

[–]V2Blast[M] -1 points0 points ago

As always, correct.

[–]Grymrir 7 points8 points ago

Alright, so there are bad novelty accounts and there are decent novelty accounts. This, is a glorious novelty account. Why? Because he's such a huge fucking troll, that every time he comments anywhere, there's always at least 5-10 comments complaining over how annoying he is.

[–]WolfInTheField 6 points7 points ago

You will never make anyone laugh. It is your fate as a novelty account to die laughless and karmaless. And nobody will mourn.

[–]TheySeeMeDerpinn 8 points9 points ago

He makes me laugh because there is always a comment below his exclaiming how mad they are for reading it.

You're doing God's work, POSTS_BABY_TALK.

[–]xMinniex 2 points3 points ago

That's probably why no one here likes him.

[–]headshop_honcho -1 points0 points ago

I think they're shooting for the record lowest karma...a record is a record

[–]frostburner 0 points1 point ago

No that belongs to 9gaghelper

[–]Islandre 0 points1 point ago

While I really dislike /u/POSTS_BABY_TALK's comments I get where you're coming from. The anti-karma whore that really floats my boat is /u/arrowstotheknee. Serving as a warning to those who might otherwise have travelled that road in earnest.

[–]Bronan_the_Brobarian 0 points1 point ago

You want to beat him? Get him to positive karma

[–]WolfInTheField 0 points1 point ago

Naw, I'll gladly rip on him some more instead :) Wouldn't wanna take his purpose away, right?

[–]retnuh730 -2 points-1 points ago

LE WORST NOVELTY ACCOUNT ON LE REDDIT XD XD XD!!!

[–]andrewsmith1986 10 points11 points ago

I miss college because I miss college girls.

[–]raven12456 8 points9 points ago

I miss college because I miss waking up at 10am, small monthly bills, and hardly any responsibility.

[–]WolfInTheField 3 points4 points ago

About to go to college here.

Ooh, is that what it's like? sweeeet.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

You pay for it later.

[–]WolfInTheField 2 points3 points ago

In Europe? Not as dearly as you might think ;)

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

You bastard. Go ahead, bask in my envy...

[–]WolfInTheField 2 points3 points ago

Basking. Good shit, thanks!

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]WolfInTheField 0 points1 point ago

Ha-Ha-Ha, oh, come on guys... You're kidding, right?

[–]purpleOranges 1 point2 points ago

Girls exist outside of college. And it's usually less complicated.

[–]booobp 1 point2 points ago

Girls aren't going anywhere, it's not a big deal.

[–]WolfInTheField 2 points3 points ago

Good mindset. Still, at some point you're starting to feel a little lonely sometimes.

[–]nilesDOOM130 2 points3 points ago

I miss humanity

[–]Dansup_ 2 points3 points ago

Story of the past 6 years of my life. Finished school in 2006. : /

[–]Devann421 0 points1 point ago

I spent my whole summer working so I could buy games I don't have time playing...

[–]WarJunkie 2 points3 points ago

That is because you're a Summer child.

[–]Macabcar 2 points3 points ago

Thats nothing try the last 2 years.

[–]dropkickninja 1 point2 points ago

summers not over yet. and you dont want to have the same luck with girls as this guy.

[–]arenlol 5 points6 points ago

You know nothing...

[–]zhang3r 0 points1 point ago

His luck wasn't all that bad

[–]dropkickninja 0 points1 point ago

im only starting the 4th book but it hasnt been great lately.

[–]V2Blast 0 points1 point ago

You messed up the spoiler tag (we use a different one).

[–]dropkickninja 1 point2 points ago

My bad. I'll fix it when I'm not on my phone

[–]V2Blast 1 point2 points ago

No problem :)

[–]zhang3r 0 points1 point ago

meh i know what you mean it only follows the guys at kings landing (all my hated characters) and almost no mention of my favorite characters until the 5th book. all in all i was disappointed with the 4th book

[–]dropkickninja 0 points1 point ago

i didnt mean the series up until the 4th i meant jons luck with the ladies until then.

[–]dillpiccolol 2 points3 points ago

But winter is coming...

[–]SYPIAC 1 point2 points ago

PiRat.jpg? I think imgur knows something we don't.

[–]Maijaelena 1 point2 points ago

I was somehow expecting "Winter is coming" by the thumbnail. And yeah, I can relate to this.

[–]Boyko 0 points1 point ago

I don't.

[–]omfglmao 1 point2 points ago

Chances are you don't get them anyway, so no worries :)

[–]rt79w 0 points1 point ago

Apparently they don't miss you.

[–]Immoral_Supporter -2 points-1 points ago

I can safely say that I am a female and I wasted my entire summer playing video games. If you have a steam account and would like to join me and play a game, you can send me a private message.

[–]raven12456 2 points3 points ago

Do it OP! Best of both worlds!

[–]dlan4327 0 points1 point ago

Just commenting to say Fuck Big Break - a mission on Driver San Francisco.

Just FUCK IT.

[–]Terroristy -1 points0 points ago

Bitch please- all girls I know are already taken or are boring/ugly etc etc. Plus I go to technical collage where 95% of students are male. So my best girls are always left and right hand.
