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.

That'll be fun when the airbag goes off and you have to have an xbox controller surgically removed from your face.

[–]SonicFlash01 3 points4 points ago

Might be a little neat if the X symbol was implanted in your forehead
Not so much if the whole thing was wedged in your brain

[–]ClaymoreMine 0 points1 point ago

IIRC this got the people who made this into a lot of legal trouble with the government. Apparently it is illegal to remove airbags from a car.

[–]useless_car_info 0 points1 point ago

As far as my research shows this is not exactly the case.

A private vehicle owner can, at his/her own liability, remove the airbag from their car. However a commercial entity (manufacturer, distributor, dealer, or motor vehicle repair business) cannot remove the airbag from a road going car.

Race cars and show cars are not subject to this law if they are not driven on public roads.

I am pretty sure this car project was made as a gaming station with wheels. Here's the whole story on it: http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/12494/Suzuki-SXBox-Xbox-360-Concept-Car-Pictures/

[–]SonicFlash01 28 points29 points ago

The car would be a fraction of the power of a regular car, riddled with ads and slow service, would cost monthly to drive, outside of car insurance and gas, and would have the worst safety record of any vehicle.

People would buy them up like hotcakes because real cars are expensive and ignore the flaws.

I love waking up to gaming elitism.

[–]Muses_A_Lot 4 points5 points ago

That's such stupid bullshit, everyone knows you can't drive an Xbox.

[–]SonicFlash01 -1 points0 points ago

Ohshi- ur rite :<

[–]power_of_friendship 1 point2 points ago

So, basically a smart car.

[–]SonicFlash01 2 points3 points ago

Apparently Smart cars get pretty good crash test ratings
...unless, like, a bus crashes into it I guess

[–]power_of_friendship 1 point2 points ago

Or a bicyclist...

[–]SonicFlash01 0 points1 point ago

I'm not really sure how the car received good crash test rating honestly. Google seems to back up the story but it doesn't make sense

[–]Kratonagan 0 points1 point ago

God help you if you get the RROD while driving.

[–]tronn4 0 points1 point ago

If it was a ps3 I'd be worried about it yellow ringing on me (mines did twice)

[–]xBaconater 2 points3 points ago

There;s absolutely no point of the controller being there...

[–]Mestitia 0 points1 point ago

I'm getting a high virgin frequency radiating from that vehicle.

[–]SHYS7IE 4 points5 points ago

That's cool as hell.... at least until the car red rings

Woosh

[–]Iammattieee 1 point2 points ago

Whats the point of that controller there?

[–]poopyfarts 0 points1 point ago

would be cool if there was a projector that you could put on the roof, or that automatically come on from the front. That way you can just pull up to a white wall and play xbox.

[–]Sandman902 -1 points0 points ago

This many posts and no one mentions the fact that they used a Suzuki , one of the most unreliable car makes of all time.

[–]Doodlidoo 1 point2 points ago

Reminds me a lot of this.

Wasn't this car on pimp my ride?

[–]peachyscott 0 points1 point ago

Megas XLR!

[–]RogueLibrarian 0 points1 point ago

Where is the screen? What does the rest of the car look like?

[–]FoxBattalion79 -2 points-1 points ago

chalk that up to "almost a good idea"
