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.

So that wasn't very funny.

[–]CincyBOO 25 points26 points ago

And the caption he gave you was "So a friend of mine overheard this conversation while working at game stop."?

Your friend sucks at generating thought-provoking captions. I'm sure he holds talents elsewhere.

They are Russians everywhere!

[–]morzinbo 9 points10 points ago

It's not as though they can just stop being Russian.

[–]Anyntay 6 points7 points ago

Someday, though..

[–]Lasthcompany 4 points5 points ago

They gonna rip you apart with their bear hands!

[–]mavvv 5 points6 points ago

Stop putting single images into albums!

[–]recursive 0 points1 point ago

Why?

[–]mavvv 1 point2 points ago

They don't imbed.

[–]IUsedToBeAPygmy 0 points1 point ago

The navy are russians everywhere ? That does not make sense.

[–]Walnut156 2 points3 points ago

I chuckled up until "in gonna put it on reddit"

[–]SirLittle 0 points1 point ago

FB...We don't take kindly to your kind 'round here.

[–]Hukka 10 points11 points ago

r/gaming is kind of like the whore of gaming subreddits, except it only accepts minors.

[–]seussmau5 1 point2 points ago

Now Skeet, calm down. He ain't hurt'n nobody.

[–]KoopaKhan 0 points1 point ago

I didn't know people still used blackberries...

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

A lot of these phones are getting shunted to MNVOs, which buy airtime etc. They are cheaper to run, and use less data. And it still has strong brand recognition in the business world. It's trying to reinvent itself with the latest Blackberry OS, but I don't see it stopping the hemorrhaging. It's not iOS, and it's not Android. It's not even Windows Phone. It has no chance to survive.

[–]ChadwickHenryWard 0 points1 point ago

Cool story, bro.

[–]TehWut 6 points7 points ago

Hardly. mildly entertaining at best.

[–]ChadwickHenryWard 2 points3 points ago

"Cool story, bro" is often used on the Internet to express disbelief. I don't actually think it's a cool story; I'm just saying I don't think it actually happened.

[–]an0n9 0 points1 point ago

boy...

[–]p0rtugalvii -1 points0 points ago

I work at GameStop. Girl came in looking for 3ds game suggestions for her lil brother. Recommend Tetris Axis cause Tetris is awesome. Girl stares me in the face and says, what's Tetris? Is it like Tennis?

[–]Throwaway13223 10 points11 points ago

Sooo.. you are bashing a little girl for not knowing what an old and outdated game is? Good job reddit. You should have grabbed it and shown it to her; because, while Tetris may be timeless, the next generation isn't going to know about a game from the past unless they can work a computer with ease.

[–]I_Eat_Toothpaste 2 points3 points ago

Sounds like she was atleast 14+

[–]Yatterman 1 point2 points ago

Where did he state she was little?

[–]Throwaway13223 -4 points-3 points ago

I'm just guessing based on the context and the fact that she has a little brother.

[–]Yatterman -3 points-2 points ago

Uh, you can have a little brother and be old. Example: 19 year old girl, 11 year old brother. You really are an idiot if you think that having a little brother means that you have to be young too.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Indeed. I'm 29. As the youngest of three, one of my sisters still calls me little man (she's 31).

I'd say something, but I know damn well she'd make a point to do it more often if I did. Also, it's from when I was younger and not 4" taller than her.

[–]Throwaway13223 -1 points0 points ago

Would an 11 year old brother not have an idea of gifts he wants? At that age I don't know why she didn't ask him what ideas he had for a birthday gift.

[–]p0rtugalvii -2 points-1 points ago

Forgot to mention she was 17... :/ I'm not gonna flip if a 12 year old girl doesn't know what Tetris is. She knew what Harvest Moon was and never heard of Tetris. All I'm sayin...

[–]Throwaway13223 0 points1 point ago

Tetris was released in 1984, I see absolutely no reason why a girl who is 17 would know what the brand Tetris is, considering most of the clones you find of that game are named something else. Also Harvest Moon, released in 1996, is a much newer game than the 12 years older Tetris. Oh, shit! I just brought cold hard fact in to this!

[–]CakeSmasher 0 points1 point ago

Did you know that Tetris comes from the words tetronimo, meaning a shape made up of four squares, and tennis.

Hence Tetris.

[–]brova[!] 1 point2 points ago

You are the worst.

[–]wetnapkinmath -1 points0 points ago

*then *there are /grammernazimodeoff

[–]Memoren 1 point2 points ago

I hate when people talking about whoring something out for karma in the karma whoring post itself.

[–]Merfen 0 points1 point ago

Exactly, this just ruins it.

[–]DJanomaly -1 points0 points ago

Jesus Christ the grammar holocaust!!!

[–]Dimestoresaint -1 points0 points ago

OMG you posted this on reddit. Your gonna get downvoted. There is no funny anywhere.

[–]an0n9 0 points1 point ago

Funny story, why does everyone have to say "ill put it on reddit!" like theyre in an exclusive club. don't say it, just put it on here. no one else cares if you use this website.

[–]OmNomMonster -1 points0 points ago

Dad has the best reaction to that

[–]0mudkipz 3 points4 points ago

Slapping kids seems like an appropriate reaction.

[–]MarinePrincePrime 0 points1 point ago

It makes the story unbelievable to me.

[–]Beakerbite 1 point2 points ago

I'm sure it was more along the lines of a tap to the back of the head and not psychotic beating in the face.

[–]InfiniteDeath -2 points-1 points ago

*there are ... sorry, I had to do it D:
