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.

  • 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.

Is it five years ago already?

[–]LeonardNemoysHead 73 points74 points ago

This repost outdates reddit's popularity.

[–]Psythik 7 points8 points ago

I remember seeing the video on digg way back when.

[–]dclark59 7 points8 points ago

Yeah the nostalgia outweighs my annoyance for a repost though. I aint even mad.

[–]elj0h0 -5 points-4 points ago

I remember it from before skate 3 ruined a good thing

[–]PoopInTheGarbage 4 points5 points ago

What? Skate 3 is dope.

[–]Kookoouchu 1 point2 points ago

I think Skate 1 is still superior. In Skate 1 it felt like you had weight, in Skate 3 it feels like your a feather. Both great games, but Skate 1 is the original.

[–]OMGBLACKPOWER 0 points1 point ago

I prefer skate 2. Thoroughly enjoyed skate 1, and somewhat enjoyed skate 3 but 2 is where it's at

[–]elj0h0 2 points3 points ago

Skate 2 is still the best skating game ever

[–]OMGBLACKPOWER 0 points1 point ago

I would have to say tony hawk's pro skater 4 is the best imo

[–]elj0h0 0 points1 point ago

We can agree to disagree on that. THPS4 was great until Skate and its realistic skating sim beat it. Skate 2 only beats that for the splitscreen MP (inexplicably removed from Skate3).

[–]elj0h0 0 points1 point ago

Removed split screen. Fail.

[–]Kongsdal 77 points78 points ago

Havent seen this gif in years!!

[–]lifelessness 62 points63 points ago

I've seen this gif several times this year!!

[–]I_pollute 22 points23 points ago

Reposters gonna repost.

[–]Dreamwaltzer 10 points11 points ago

And then haters gonna hate.

And cycles gotta cycle.

[–]Altair1371 9 points10 points ago

Skaters gonna skate

[–]Kookoouchu -2 points-1 points ago

Skeeters gonna skeet.

[–]legendcc -1 points0 points ago

Hard.

[–]kyzfrintin -1 points0 points ago

And it's still funny!

[–]zo0galo0ger -1 points0 points ago

This is so funny... Every time I see it, I forgot how it ends. lol

[–]karbon92 6 points7 points ago

Haven't seen this since I watched it on Skate's first Skate Reel.

[–]lunchboxchronic 14 points15 points ago

Minutes* FTFY

[–]Cubejam 1 point2 points ago

[–]BeatlesFREAK925 15 points16 points ago

[–]HayHaxor 2 points3 points ago

[–]PunderscoreR 12 points13 points ago

This is the video the gif is from. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg5AHdeXYwE

The original video was made private, so I re-uploaded on my channel.

[–]Deadalious 3 points4 points ago

Actually all the clips from that video are from GoonSkate.

[–]The_Vizier -1 points0 points ago

bottom right of the video, http://www.youtube.com/user/robbaz

EDIT: nvm, i just googled goonskate, robbaz probably got them from goonskate.

[–]Reshkah 11 points12 points ago

And F the haters, I loved skate 3.

[–]blade2000 3 points4 points ago

Old gif is old.

[–]Nuclearbananas 2 points3 points ago

Old video is old

[–]ZKULLY 22 points23 points ago

[–]Crimsonskyss 4 points5 points ago

If its from the Internet.. It's a repost

[–]noddwyd 13 points14 points ago

[–]dylansan 2 points3 points ago

Enjoy your next hour.

[–]bkhtx82 1 point2 points ago

[–]micahshell 2 points3 points ago

Skate is only fun when you wipeout.

[–]mondot64 1 point2 points ago

I lolerskated all the way home

[–]Elriond 0 points1 point ago

That's what a Chinese/Japanese would say.

[–]mondot64 0 points1 point ago

Haha I never really thought of it that way

[–]R88SHUN 3 points4 points ago

Man, Skate 3 really shit the bed on that franchise.

[–]antmanlav 7 points8 points ago

What was wrong with Skate 3?

[–]R88SHUN 20 points21 points ago

The map didn't really have a single normal half pipe, mega ramp or skate park. It was all pools and bowls and novelty ramps surrounded by plazas with small stair sets.

The Hall Of Meat mechanics were just plain retarded. It went from being completely reasonable in Skate 2 to flailing around like an invalid for a minute at a time.

The online is CRAP. It constantly freezes and doesnt even give you the option to return to the menu, so you have to hard boot your system. The locations and gametypes are awful too, plus the spawns are poorly planned. The team games are pointless, the ranked games are pointless. Worst of all they leave the host, usually a 12 year old, in charge of starting games and kicking players.

The soundtrack sucked. The character customization sucked. The video/picture/park ratings system SUCKED the worst because again, they left it up to the decisions of children. The top rated parks are all the same and no matter how good you are at making them you will never get the amount of downloads you should because theyre all satisfied doing the same shit over and over and over... I cant tell you how many times people have been furious that it took them a year or two to see parks like mine because they had to actually accept the challenge proposal in a game with me rather than finding it in the user content.

I could go on.

[–]Demotic 14 points15 points ago

You really hate that game bro.

[–]ultimatemorky 11 points12 points ago

Dude, I'm reading this shit and I hate that game.

[–]dream5eller 0 points1 point ago

just a question to you, i have skate 1 and 2 and i HATED skate 2 compared to skate 1... is skate 3 better than 2?

[–]Natten -3 points-2 points ago

I cant tell you how many times people have been furious that it took them a year or two to see parks like mine

Didnt know we had a pro level designer here

I enjoyed Skate 3.

[–]R88SHUN 3 points4 points ago

Ok guy... I'll gladly take two minutes out of my morning to put my money where my mouth is. Tell me you dont think these two should be on the top of the user created content list instead of the shit that's there now.

Gigaramp
Ultrapipe

[–]Natten 3 points4 points ago

I didnt know Sakte 3 had a paint by numbers feature.

[–]Dahaka11 -1 points0 points ago

reposted sooooo many times it's not even funny anymore

[–]Pedeadstrian 0 points1 point ago

I remember seeing this as the top video... for some reason I was never as good at Skate 2 as I was at Skate.

[–]iffy525 1 point2 points ago

This particular trick isn't on this video, but it's a collection of similar funny skate things. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-Qag7qf3MU This video continues to make me crack up at the sheer silliness of it.

[–]Bubzy_Bubs 1 point2 points ago

I have distinct memories of watching this gif in 2007.

[–]Dirge37 1 point2 points ago

In skate one I spent nearly all my time hurting my OC instead of skating

[–]Ralli101 -1 points0 points ago

Haters gonna skate.

[–]Cutts77 0 points1 point ago

Fuck just seeing the gif reposted man. I remember back when Skate first came out, this was the most popular video on skate.reel for AGEEEESSSS, and when I mean ages, I mean until Skate 2 came out.

[–]brian_d3p0 1 point2 points ago

I'm pretty sure I dugg this back before digg sucked balls.

[–]squireofrnew 0 points1 point ago

Upon arrival I chuckled and smirked, and the comments made me downvote... Love the gif. Can't stop the tradition.

[–]wayward-516 -1 points0 points ago

This is THE best thing I've seen all week.

[–]CMDRtweak 0 points1 point ago

Skate is 5 years old? o.o Okay that is creepy. Very creepy.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

[–]Waynenameyo1 0 points1 point ago

What game is this?

[–]Nuclearbananas 0 points1 point ago

Skate. The original one. It's onto 3 now but if you're gonna get it, get all of them

[–]OliverGrune 0 points1 point ago

Regardless of the massive repostosity of this picture, it still makes me chuckle. With a physics system like that, how did they expect anyone to actually play the game?

[–]Jonez69 1 point2 points ago

Every time I see Skate-related picture/video, I feel sudden urge to fire up my PS3 and play Skate. Every - single - time.

[–]JarekBloodDragon -2 points-1 points ago

Oldest repost ever. Stop this shit.

[–]megafilipe -4 points-3 points ago

repost, but i think before it was Skaters gonna skate

[–]ForI_Am_Cornholio -3 points-2 points ago

Older than my grandma

[–]DRUNKapples -3 points-2 points ago

Old news.

[–]Fun1k -3 points-2 points ago

I exploded with laugh :D
