>> [_] Anon 2789245 so he blames something else for his bad decisions. guy should have been a feminist
>> [_] Anon 2789249 Holy shit, what a fucking moron, if you cannot mix youe ntertaiment with social life, studies, reading and everything you are a fucking looser and you are to blame, not videogames >Tfw plays a fuckton of videogames >tfw tons of friends >takes care of GF >doing well in studies >reading shit, leaning >drive license Guys, being a fucking obsessed retard does not mean the token of your obsession is bad, it just means that you are a fucking obsessed retard >># me neither
>> [_] Anon 2789257 >># He's right. Video games are garbage.
>> [_] Anon 2789260 >># Casual spotted. I don't think video games are there for you.
>> [_] Anon 2789262 >># >Studies >Still thinks lose is spelled loose Most people learned that before grade 1.
>> [_] Anon 2789266 If he valued life more than video games then he would have stopped. But he didn't, he loved video games too much and now that he changed his opinion, he regrets his past decisions. What a faggot.
>> [_] Anon 2789267 Replace the word 'Video Games' in this with 'Drugs' or 'Alcohol' or 'Masturbation' or 'Reading' or any kind of escapism and it would mean the exact same thing. Yes, if you escape from real life too much you won't have much of a real life left. Oh my god, what an epiphany! Dude was right. This video was pure masturbatory nonsense. Welcome to growing up, Brian.
>> [_] Anon 2789269 >># How do you escape real life? I'm pretty sure I'm living my life as long as I'm doing anything.

>> [_] Anon 2789281 The guy is desperately trying to find a scapegoat to explain why his life is so incredibly shit. >Hurr fucking durr, it's not my career choice or lack of relationship skills that makes me a miserable bastard full of regret, it's video games!
>> [_] Anon 2789282 >># Let me rephrase. What people MEAN when they say Real Life is "Responsibilities"
>> [_] Anon 2789283 >># Depends on what you read smart ass. If you read bullshit like Harry Potter, the only shit you are gonna learn is about how to imagine shitty wizards. Unless you read text books or non-fiction books you are not getting smarter.
>> [_] Anon 2789284 >># Lurking an image board hardly makes anyone smarter. You should learn to disguise generalizations, kid.

>> [_] Anon 2789288 >># Oh sorry, learned elder. I just thought that you meant 'reading' not... 'reading something specific'. Please forgive my childish error.
>> [_] Anon 2789291 Besides making me learn english, which I consider now my second language. Video games have taught me numerous things starting from strategic thinking to patience and improving myself when facing obstacles etc. The thing is that video games are not a waste of time, not applying the information that is right in front of you is. Stupid people are stupid no matter what they do.
>> [_] Anon 2789292 >># My point is still there: you can spend your time doing pretty much the same thing, and achieve something that makes it worthwhile, whether your actions were related to escapism or not.
>> [_] Anon 2789294 >># There are those who process the information given to them as a tool to improve themselves, and then there are those who just shit themselves and don't learn shit and get carried through everything, in life and in video games. This flash basically is one of those people who just got carried and was dropped off and was like, "OH GOD VIDEO GAMES DID THIS NOT ME IM NOT THE TOOL THAT LET MYSELF BECOME A SAD FAT SACK OF SHIT WHO MAKES FLASH VIDEOS."
>> [_] Anon 2789297 >># Keep betraying yourself, vidyafag.
>> [_] Anon 2789299 >># So when you go off to read something like "A God in Ruins" and you go to talk about how smart you are, 90% of everyone is gonna say, "Cool story bro." Have fun talking to a book club and read under a light (by yourself). Oh wait isn't that what the guy was whining about in the flash? Oh well.
>> [_] Anon 2789300 >># Betraying myself by having a life except for this moment of responding to dorks like you who think you're better than everyone? Yeah okay I guess I am.

>> [_] Anon 2789324 >># The truth is what ever you do with your own life, it is up to you to decide which path you follow with the decisions you make. If you decide that grinding 30 hours into a game is worth it over a book or going out and spending money on something else, just to accomplish something, that's on you. If you decide to go on a road trip and accept any of the consequences but come out with an amazing story in those 30 hours, that's up to you. Life is about the choices you make and it's up to YOU to make YOUR OWN choices and accept the benefits and consequences that come with them. All this bullshit with oh mah gawd my life is in ruins cause of video gayms well tell that to the people who had car accidents or who got injured playing sports or died in a war. I'm sure they would all think the same thing, "Damn there must have been something else I could have done rather than being here." If they don't think that, they accepted the consequences and move forward in life or death.
>> [_] Anon 2789326 time you enjoyed wasting wasn't wasted - some hippy it's true though. Of course he didn't do anything better and didn't learn anything, but neither would he have gained anything from reading some genre fiction novel. this idiots problem was addiction not "video games".
>> [_] Anon 2789328 >># >scapegoating all of your problems on video games >80% of the vidya is nintendo shit WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED, BRAVO AMERICLAPS Why is there's ALWAYS autism involved when it comes to americlaps and nintendo? I have hundreds of hours logged into games on steam and hold a job in illustration, go out with friends for a drink regularly, manage a relationship and have time to browse a chinese imageboard for hilarious flashes. It's YOUR OWN fucking fault you became a sad fat fucking loser, how about you stop shoving shit into your mouth and try to make some friends online if you're too much of an autist. Who's the author of this flash? I'd love to mail him.
>> [_] Anon 2789329 This is the truth about eating food, in 100 years your entire body will decay and all the effort you spent eating and exercising will be wasted. This is a simple fact I just realized. This is the truth about school, the vast majority of jobs even in technical fields never use mathematics beyond addition and multiplication. The vast majority of jobs never require writing beyond a few sentences. This is a simple fact I just realized. It's almost as if most of the things we do don't directly result in getting more money, social standing, or security! The obvious conclusion is that every single person in the history of the human race is defective because they waste effort on things that I can't measure as being important. (but I'm so unimaginative I think this only applies to video games).

>> [_] Anon 2789361 >># Haven't picked yet, considering gender studies.
>> [_] Anon 2789362 For those who didn't make it through the whole video, the tone changes near the end; the guy acknowledges that video games may have positive influences and bring people together, for say at cons and on forums and the like, which is good, and that it should be up to the person watching to weight in whether they are turning down opportunities that could be better for them in exchange for short term and non-lasting pleasure. I think it was a good video; it won't apply to most casuals who won't spend hours grinding achievements, but for those who might end up old and bitter because they spent their lives ONLY doing vidya, and this wakes them up a bit, then I think the time spent making this movie was worth it. I messed up part of college due to video games (made it through ok eventually), and if other people don't do that due to the video, it'll have done its job. Even if it is preachy moralising.

>> [_] Anon 2789367 >># I don't know where you saw these things you say. His tone was pretty constant throughout: pitying himself and saying video games are evil because he prioritized them too much. At the absolute end, it shows him burning WoW stuff. WoW addiction is a serious illness affecting millions of NEETs every year and should be treated medically.
>> [_] Anon 2789368 >># Plot twist: This nigga is Brian doing damage control.
>> [_] Anon 2789370 >># Fucking, Brian.
>> [_] Anon 2789371 Attempting to form meaningful relationships has caused more pain in my life than anything else. Video games are a great escape from that. Brian is simply a normalfag. The fact of the matter is that not everyone is able to socialize and function in society, and for these people the choice is to eitheir kill themselves or find an escape. In excess, that escape will most definitely take away from normal life, but that's exactly the fucking point.

WoW addiction is a serious illness affecting millions of NEETs every year and should be treated medically. Seems legit.

What are you doing for the world or for other people? Day after day, hour after hour, night after night, how many years have you been doing this now? What is this worthless life? I don't get it how you're growing or becoming a human being or learning how to socialize or anything. And this is your life. I don't get it, I don't know how anyone can do that. Where are your stupid friends, sitting in their houses, playing on their computers all day long? Playing with their game things? What do they do all summer long? I mean, what do these kids do? God. The mentality of your generation just boggles my mind. I don't know how anyone can live the way you kids do. It's just so stupid.

>> [_] Anon 2789431 At the end he says he is alone, overweight and divorced. I'm supposed to believe video games are the reason? This guy is just as stupid as people who blame Call of Duty for mass murders. He fucked up in life and rather than blaming himself he says "look what video games did to me!" He's a child who cannot accept personal responsibility, even at 30, and that's probably why he's divorced and fat and has no personal accomplishments. I've racked up thousands of hours playing games, I had well over 1 year time played in WoW. I still have a STEM degree, a career, and a healthy BMI. It's called accepting responsibility for yourself and not being a total fuckup. This spiel is tired and overplayed. It's like hearing an obese man blaming McDonalds for his mantits.

>> [_] Anon 2789485 >># That's kind of what I was getting at. People find purpose in multiple ways. Some find it intrinsically, some extrinsically, most both. >># A lot of people find fulfillment and derive meaning from interacting with others. Ultimately, you have to prioritize yourself, but, when people talk about changing or having a lasting impact on the world or "how will I be remembered," they're talking about the purpose of life being to enrich the lives of others.

>> [_] Anon 1806248 This video has a good point, but don't take it too far. It is good to let your voice be heard instead of constantly sitting silent, but if everybody speaks you have a din of noise. People create video games to be played, so play them, but do other things too.

>> [_] Anon 1806259 Only a casuals don't have his reflexes improved.
>> [_] Anon 1806268 This shit reminds me of playing Realm of the Mad God, a stupid little pixel based mmo shooter that was incredibly fun and challenging while you played. However, it was (WAS) a permadeath game, and it was only when I died that I felt how empty the dozens of hours I spent on a character were. Think of it in terms of human ancestry and evolution: you are BUILT to enjoy and navigate human social interactions. Don't you feel better after a successful social interaction than after getting an achievement in a game?
>> [_] Anon 1806269 So basically this faggot couldn't exercise some self control?
>> [_] Anon 1806270 Okay, video games weren't to blame at all, no one forces us to play them, we all choose to. If you come to a point, as i too have done, that you find you are forsaking your life and health for video games or indeed for anything at all, be it drugs or work or whatever, then don't blame the activity in which you willingly participate but acknowledge that the fault is your's alone then give it up, get over it and move on. I wasted nearly two years on world of warcraft, i don't regret my time playing, i had fun, but now i'm over it and i focus on writing, friends, family, learning a new language and other things besides. But if you are truly happy in what you do, then keep doing it, it's your life and you can live it how you see fit.
>> [_] Anon 1806271 >># No, he just decided that something he'd already done for a long time wasn't what he wanted to do from then on. It's kind of a cop out to spend lots of time for something and drop it halfway through.

>> [_] Anon 1806297 thank you, I actually needed this
>> [_] Anon 1806299 Reality is boring as fuck, I got tired ages ago of dealing with the cliches and such that is the norm of "socializing". I will admit that I do play video games and watch anime, I don't talk to people or go to crazy parties on weekends. I do however exercise and get out of the house to get fresh air and sunlight, I also spend time with family (lol I don't have any friends). Point is video games aren't the evil in the world, the world is the true evil.

Reading books is the equivalence to playing video games. You sit in your home alone and read, its not like you can be very social reading the book. Either way, i'll keep enjoying video games, streaming them, and going to DnD games, and FNM. And shit i enjoy my time alone and solitude. To each their own.

Just because sissy bitch fag cunt is a fat no muscle no talent walking talking turd, doesn't mean every gamer is. Hope he is in this thread, the fag, so he can hear how people hate his faggy excuses on why he is a pussy ass bitch. So tired of everyone blaming other shit for them being trash.

>> [_] Anon 1806357 >IT'S NOT MY FAULT, IT'S THE VIDEO GAME'S FAULT lel I'm very glad he burnt a copy of WoW, though.
>> [_] Anon 1806360 >burning WoW disks Fuck this guy is edgy
>> [_] Anon 1806362 >># Depends. In general, I feel much better after playing video game than after a conversation, but I enjoy my share of intellectual discussion/activities with friends.
>> [_] Anon 1806367 Isn't this the guy behind Harry Potter Puppet Pals? Somehow THAT'S more meaningful than playing video games?
>> [_] Anon 1806369 >># Oh wow, I didn't even notice. And apparently he's been playing a lot of Maple Story. No wonder he hates video games.

>> [_] Anon 1806379 I can level to 80 in three days without trying. So because this guy is bad at gaming it's a generational problem?
>> [_] Anon 1806380 this is wrong on so many layers
>> [_] Anon 1806389 The comment section reflect how old the commentators actually are. I wasted a lot of time on videos games. Never got into Warcraft so i thought I was okay. Counter-strike since beta. nope. This man tells no lies, dun dun.
>> [_] Anon 1806391 My parents had this kind of attitude towards video gaming thinking they were serving a good cause when they imposed month long bans. Nothing became better, fuck them.
>> [_] Anon 1806394 I play vidya games but at the same time I workout/have a social life/decent job it just seems like this guy coudnt control the amount he played so he just blamed vidya.
>> [_] Anon 1806400 Watch the whole thing. He's not saying don't play video games. He's saying don't play video games ALONE.

>> [_] Anon 1806414 >># LOL, I like how his idea of getting his life together and being productive is just 'standing around outdoors'. What a tool
>> [_] Anon 1806423 TL;DR: the guy in the flash didn't know about moderation in all things then blamed his failure on videogames. Then everyone on /f/ got all angry and defensive because they are in the same boat.
>> [_] Anon 1806425 >># >Isn't this the guy behind Harry Potter Puppet Pals? No, it's not. It's not Neil's Cicierega's voice.

>> [_] Anon 1806458 Just because you couldn't balance your life with your hobby doesn't mean it's a bad hobby. It means you have poor self control.
>> [_] Anon 1806460 Simple: don't be a lifeless loser and learn to juggle your social & work life with your hobbies. Problem solved.
>> [_] Anon 1806462 I agree with video. Building character is more important than playing as one.
>> [_] Anon 1806465 What a fuckin loser, amirite guys?
>> [_] Anon 1806472 wow this guy is a faggot.....
>> [_] Anon 1806473 Money lost to video games isn't really lost it goes to developers that spent hours doing a job probably with friendly relations to their co workers just to bring you the entertainment that you craved just because your a fat overeating shut in with no self control doesn't disregard that fact. Reading a book for a hobby can have the same effect as a video game you can sit on your ass ignore the people around you and then realize you spent too much time reading and not having interactions with other people at least in some games you can have decent (although sometimes pointless or irritating) interactions with real people that can make you feel good enough. But no matter how many friends you make that you never meet in person or ever will just remember that your real life affairs come first your video games can be played any time you have free time you don't have to push other things aside just to play
>> [_] Raguspan 1806486 >># I get that he didn't outright explain it, but he tried to represent what could be done with some of the time used for playing games (primarily MMORPG's). Remember all that stuff that was listed while the WoW expansion packs were burnt on the grill? He was aiming to compare the time typically used to accomplish each of those, with the time used to level up up to three WoW characters. It's biased, sure, but it's a damn good effort script- and editing-wise.
>> [_] Anon 1806491 >># It takes you that long to get to lvl 80? Takes me about 24 Hrs played time.

>> [_] Anon 1277506 Funny, but people have been wasting their lives in precisely this manner long before video games were invented. Gambling, drugs, partying, if you're a weak minded fool like this faggot you can find plenty of ways to waste your life. The only solution is to take some accountability for your own fucking behavior and prioritize your life correctly. tl;dr OP is a worthless waste of life with or without video games.
>> [_] Anon 1277507 I could also mention that plenty of people play video games WITHOUT missing out on life, but that might make it seem like the guy who made this video is actually just a brainless drooling manbaby who would have wasted all his time jacking off, drinking sterno, and huffing gasoline if he hadn't wasted it on video games, which is exactly the case.
>> [_] Anon 1277515 The only reason I have some of my best friends is through video games. Learn to Mario Party
>> [_] Anon 1277516 Its all a matter of perspective. Driving from NYC to LA seems like a waste of time if you could make a level 80 character in WoW instead. I feel sorry for all those long-distance drivers.

>> [_] sage sage 1277552 FUCK YOU you ruined my day nigger
>> [_] Anon 1277554 I like how video games will never be a respected media. What exactly do you gain from reading the Harry Potter books? Books are just entertainment too, sure, you could learn a few things and improve your reading speed but you could do that playing games too. I've learned a lot of things, useless and not, whilst playing video games. And sure, it may seem like a waste, but what isn't? You never actually gain something from doing anything, everything is moot in the end, so why not enjoy life doing playing games or just doing what you enjoy doing?

>> [_] Anon 1277631 I am 29 years old I live in my mom’s basement. I once had a good paying career from the useless education I spent way to much money on. I got laid off from said job (cut backs). I used to own a condo and date a girl that hounded me to make more money so that we can start a family, once I lost the job she left with out saying goodbye. I would go out after work with people that were superficial and un-genuine but I smiled and went along with the fake friendships. ...........
>> [_] Anon 1277633 >># After I lost the job, the condo, the fake friends, and most of all the emotional vampire of a girlfriend I found my self in my mom’s basement playing lots of video games. I now work at a rifle range for 10 dollars an hour but love every minute of it. I have a new GF that lives in her mom’s basement to and we play video games together. For the first time in my adult life I feel ok. I am not saying living in your mom’s basement and playing copious amounts of video games is the key to enlightenment but it sure made my life better. I will never go back to a cubical, fake friends, and cunt women. For me the basement and some world in conflict is zen. I say fuck the bell curb and do what makes you happy. OP if it took you 20+ years to find out the video games left you empty then good for you at least you found out.
>> [_] Anon 1277634 I realized this a long time ago, and you know what, i'm fine with it. I have plenty of lifetime friends to make up for time lost on enjoying myself in front of a TV.
>> [_] Anon 1277637 >># bell curve. bell curve. how do these eggcorns even happen in the first place? what sort of a bell has a curb, and what would that even mean?
>> [_] Anon 1277639 Are you fucking kidding me? SOme of the best memories with my RL friends are with games. I'm sorry but if this faggot can't play video games without ruining his own dumbshit life and being able to keep a girlfriend then it's no one elses fault. Some of us can be perfectly productive and do whatever the hell we want for fun. You get a right to if you're taking care of your shit.
