gaming

In this day and age, you'd be hard pressed to find someone on the street who has no interest at all in video games. Everyone has the potential to be a type of gamer in a sense. Sure, not everyone knows the heartbreak of a mid 2000s COD Xbox live lobby or the disappointment of almost any water level, but gaming is a thing near and dear to many of us. Here's a kid who's stepmom sold his PS4 so he rented out her house.

Never take for granted how far an Ultima Online player will go to enact their revenge. If anything, this tale should be a cautionary example to anyone that thinks about crossing someone on Ultimate Online. 

Oh man, these kinds of revelations are the true humbling moments in one's life. This dude ended up learning that they'd been depriving their PC of optimal performance for years, when the quick fix was waiting right around the corner. Oh well, it can happen to the best of us, and at least it worked out in the end. Even if it took a few years to get there. 

Growing up when Grand Theft Auto was new was one hell of a time. Many of us had to hide the game from our parents, but it was still inevitable that they'd catch you doing some unsavory stuff. We always wondered how people with very strict or very religious parents dealt with it. They made for some interesting scenes, like how this person's religious dad out-religioned some evangelists at the door.

Tumblr just loves to go all in on meticulously studying the ins and outs of different movies, shows, video games, etc. It's a place of countless rabbit holes. This one in particular is a great one to fall down. It takes a look at one of the world's most loved and adored video games, Pokémon. 

To be clear, the gameplay itself didn't warrant all the dislikes, but a very small design fail gave this game developer a big shock. It should provide at least a little peace of mind to find out that you didn't create something as universally hated as you thought. For some game related humor, here are some gaming memes.

Even though Skyrim has been out forever, we still find ourselves booting it up on the regular just to make too many iron daggers, accidentally railroad ourselves into a stealth archer class and one-hit any bandit who dares mess with us. We love the game and we love the torrent of Skyrim memes that fell from it.

We also can't believe this Elder Scrolls game has been out for like 8 years and it's still better than ever. Whether you're in it for becoming a potion-fueled God, living out your kleptomaniac fantasies, forging a relationship with an adopted dog,  or just trying not to accidentally become a stealth archer again, this game has eaten up too much of our time and we love it. Here's some memes about all the time you've wasted in Tamriel.

We've officially made it through hump day. May this assortment of shitposts, tweets, memes, and relatively stupid memes help you get through the rest of the week.

Weird customers! Mean customers! People trying to trade in obviously stolen games! What may have been a haven during your own childhood, and a confusing maze for grandmas trying to find a game in time for Christmas, was a wild land of weirdness and misfortune for the employees who worked there. Here are some more customer service stories from GameStop Employees.
