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.

Can someone pass the aloe?

For the burn, of course....

[–]dutch010 92 points93 points ago

Have a burn heal. Works more effectively.

[–]never_knows_best 76 points77 points ago

Full restores up in this bitch

[–]bloodmoneyXIII 7 points8 points ago

Oh please, OP doesn't have more than 200 HP, just use a full heal and hyper potion!

[–]htororyp 1 point2 points ago

But that takes 2 turns...

[–]bloodmoneyXIII 2 points3 points ago

Psh! I meant out of battle, who wastes their time healing in it, you just go all out.

[–]htororyp 0 points1 point ago

Idk, my friend always likes to boast how he beat lance in HG/SS with a level 30 something steelix with toxic lol. Potions all day!

[–]goodguynextdoor 13 points14 points ago

Who the fuck carries burn heal? It's either full heal or full restore.

[–]FearTheStache13 8 points9 points ago

where can i play this game? it looks sick.

Edit: no pun intended, i was serious

[–]AVeryWittyUsername -2 points-1 points ago

It's called Plague. Inc

[–]hamo804 -1 points0 points ago

[–]xandan 0 points1 point ago

Actually this is plague inc.

Correct me if I'm wrong but you can't name your virus in pandemic 2 right?

[–]LiamDude511 1 point2 points ago

Does anybody have some aloe vera? If you do bring it back stage I'll pay you back.

[–]i_feel_like_shit 25 points26 points ago

What game is this?

[–]i_feel_like_shit 3 points4 points ago

Thank you kind sir.

[–]cst-rdt 43 points44 points ago

FYI, this screenshot is not from Pandemic - it's from Plague, Inc., an iPad clone of Pandemic with, I think, superior gameplay.

[–]Montaron87 36 points37 points ago

Does Madagaskar still close it's harbor when someone in Alaska coughs?

[–]stollgrin 63 points64 points ago

[–]cst-rdt 9 points10 points ago

You can actually choose your starting country - so you could start in Madagascar if you wanted.

[–]earynspieir 6 points7 points ago

I started in Madagascar once, my they shut the ports before I got a chance to spread...

[–]thatescapesme 0 points1 point ago

how do you choose? i keep starting in New Zealand?

[–]Ocean_Duck 0 points1 point ago

You're accidentally tapping on new zealand, I think.

[–]elendryst 2 points3 points ago

It is much easier to infect Madagascar.

[–]SpinnerMaster 1 point2 points ago

Not really, they do have airports too, if you are playing one type of worm (I believe it is the Neurax worm) you can 'send' an infected to Madagascar.

[–]rfelsburg 0 points1 point ago

Still can't get past the fucking first level on normal. God damn Madagascar.

[–]HoneyNinja 4 points5 points ago

I agree, its more polished and they are still updating the gameplay quite frequently.

[–]JCXtreme 4 points5 points ago

Technically it's not just for iPad, as iPhones and iPods can get it too.

[–]cst-rdt -1 points0 points ago

Ah, thanks, I didn't realize it was a universal app.

[–]Jigsus 2 points3 points ago

Android?

[–]TKrios 8 points9 points ago

Plague Inc. is coming to Android in September! SOURCE

[–]ienjoymen 3 points4 points ago

None. It's only for ios

[–]fowlerforce5 -2 points-1 points ago

which is stupid. I loved this game on ios. gonna love it more on android, someday.

[–]TheLegacys -2 points-1 points ago

Anytime.

[–]godmoderage 0 points1 point ago

... You have given me more of a reason not to get shit done. Thank you.

[–]objober 8 points9 points ago

About 6 years ago, I was on a 4 hour road trip with my dad, playing Chrono Trigger on my laptop with an emulator. I reached the point in the game where you get the Time Machine. For those of you who don't know, you get to name/rename all the characters in the game one you get them in your party, including the Time Machine whose name is "Epoch" by default.

So I turned to my dad and said, "Dad, I need a good name for a Time Machine, maximum 5 letters." Then, without even taking a second to breathe, my dad responds, "Rolex".

[–]darleysam 7 points8 points ago

Gonna start a game and call my virus Gay Marriage. SATIRE.

[–]tomutwit 6 points7 points ago

My friend called the disease McDonalds.

[–]Carl_Sagan_Jr 52 points53 points ago

FUCK MADAGASCAR

[–]Brad_1 64 points65 points ago

It's actually pretty easy to infect Madagascar in the game OP is playing. (Plague Inc.)

[–]LvL87BalloonWizard 21 points22 points ago

Now its Greenland and Iceland.

[–]elendryst 1 point2 points ago

I always get 100% of the countries. But I have had it where people survived even though every government collapsed and work on the cure stopped.

[–]failed_novelty 12 points13 points ago

There's always one fucker in a cave with a box of scraps.

[–]never_knows_best 26 points27 points ago

I think you got downvoted because someone didn't know Plague Inc is a pandemic clone, and thought you had the game wrong. I countered it, no worries.

[–]SpinnerMaster 4 points5 points ago

In all honesty though, it does a lot of things better than Pandemic II.

[–]lpfff 2 points3 points ago

Too easy, though.

[–]SpinnerMaster 0 points1 point ago

Not on the brutal difficulty, it is rather hard.

[–]lpfff 1 point2 points ago

You're right, brutal is not easy, but once you figure out there's an almost universal working strategy, the challenge is diminished.

[–]SpinnerMaster 0 points1 point ago

Care to share?

[–]Ocean_Duck 0 points1 point ago

You slowly infect the whole world, while devolving all of the symptoms so it goes unnoticed. Make it transmissible by air and ship, and once everyone is infected, you unleash the lethal symptoms, wiping out the world before they even know they're infected.

[–]Brad_1 0 points1 point ago

too easy? really? I'm stuck on the second desease (the one which mutates itself).

[–]el_bhm 8 points9 points ago

That's not what dicks are for.

[–]LaM3a 6 points7 points ago

OP's dick is a failure.

[–]amjh 2 points3 points ago

It's the opposite of what they are for.

[–]el_bhm -4 points-3 points ago

[–]choclatewafflecakes 4 points5 points ago

I like to call it "stupidity" so I can see "Stupidity becoming scary"

[–]feared_rear_admiral 3 points4 points ago

there is no cure for your dick

[–]ersatz_cats 13 points14 points ago

I can't believe how many sad, jaded people there are in this thread.

The other day, my friend told me a hilarious knock-knock joke. One thing I didn't do is, I didn't throw a fit and tell him "God, I've heard so many of those, they're so stupid."

[–]Brown_Bunny 9 points10 points ago

Then you must not have heard enough knock knock jokes yet.

[–]corywr -1 points0 points ago

If you've heard one than you've heard too many.

[–]Dabrenn -2 points-1 points ago

Who are you to question Shakespeare's humor!?!?

[–]KnownAsRye 2 points3 points ago

Knock-knock jokes kinda have a bit more variety than this

[–]apollo84 15 points16 points ago

first one was funny, after 400 of these they aren't funny anymore

[–]GamerBum 32 points33 points ago

HEY! You listen here motherfucker penis jokes are ALWAYS funny.

Considering Pandemic was published years ago ... whoever this is may have been laughing at his dick for years.

Which I suppose is only fair. Now we're going to be mocking his dick until we get bored of it, which should be anyti-

dude, hey dude, dude, du.... wait i get it... hahahahaha

[–]chakalit55 4 points5 points ago

Fuck Iceland. I hate Iceland so much on pandemic

[–]Grimsonite 4 points5 points ago

This is not pandemic. It's Plague inc., i think it's an ipad version of the game.

[–]KlM-JONG-IL 3 points4 points ago

I think this game was made to make everyone hate the nordic countries :(

[–]the_penultimate_user 0 points1 point ago

As long as N. Korea is best Korea you have no issue,right?

Icelands OK. MOTHER. FUCKING. GREENLAND.

[–]blolfighter 4 points5 points ago

Wait what? All life on earth? All life on earth has been eliminated by a disease? There is no kind of sense that this makes.

[–]Jess_than_three 4 points5 points ago

Well, if it's a virus, it's not technically alive, I believe.

[–]blolfighter 3 points4 points ago

If it's a virus, the likelihood that it can infect every kind of cell on earth is probably zero, so that's one kind of sense that this doesn't make.

If it's a prion, the likelihood that it is compatible with the protein chains in all life on earth is also zero, so that's another kind of sense this doesn't make.

Every kind of sense is not being made by this.

[–]feared_rear_admiral 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, every human would make sense since that's what the game is about but really nothing short of the earth blowing up would kill all life on the planet. Because there is no more planet HURRHURRHURR

on the other hand, Deinococcus Radiodurans is so fucking hardcore it will probably survive even that.

[–]lockleon 1 point2 points ago

A virus by itself is not alive, no, but when it infects a host cell and is able to reproduce, it is technically living.

[–]failed_novelty 1 point2 points ago

But if the virus' hosts die, and it can no longer spread, it will inevitably die out.

[–]Outrunmypun 1 point2 points ago

How the fuck did you infect Madagascar?

[–]Treemo 4 points5 points ago

My boy, if you restart enough times... you start at Madagascar.

[–]Lunchbox753 3 points4 points ago

I once started on Madagascar. I never left...

[–]Driftbeat 0 points1 point ago

This isn't Pandemic. Madagascar is actually really easy to infect in this game.

[–]peeweejd 1 point2 points ago

every one of my Link character names in every Zelda game I have played is named "Fart"

[–]GhastlyBespoke 2 points3 points ago

Bitch works much better. "Bitch! Wake up!", or "Bitch, you must draw the master sword"

[–]peeweejd 0 points1 point ago

I have to admit, "Bitch" is better. Especially if you say it in a Mr. T voice.

[–]building_codes 1 point2 points ago

I like when I get the update that says: "Penis is getting scary."

My GF a while back played on this pool league, and they named their team "With Ourselves" so that when other team asked their captain who they were playing... "We're playing with ourselves tonight!"

All apologies to Bill S.

[–]Xodium 1 point2 points ago

How can no one mention Game Grumps (egoraptor and JonTron, for the uninitiated), Emerald, and the character name they chose there? They named their character "Fuck, I".

Let that sink in for a minute.
