The only thing more American than GDKP is hiring a Mexican to play the game for you.
I’m addicted to wow play pretty much every day I have a full time job my own home and provide for my family of 5 I can’t really say wow has ruined my life or ever really hindered my abilities to be a functional person lol
Never understood that at all. I never gave a damn what other people thought. I played the entire game solo and I joined just before Burning Crusade; I loved soloing group quests with my warlock. I hated raiding – time sink, toxic mentality, braggarts, selfish competitiveness, etc. IMO it was the worst aspect of the entire game and I avoided it like the plague as much as I could. I preferred doing things like 'Insane in the Membrane' – felt great when I got that achievement and could walk around with that title.
The only group event I enjoyed in Wow was on a player vs. player server where we attacked a city as a group and killed the guards, which would respawn, and started killing players left and right. Blocked all the exits out of the city. This was before flying mounts.
Only game where I ever joined a guild and enjoyed it was Everquest. I would play solo and than every now and than the guild would do a group event. It was not a time sink. Best memory was an all-out fight between the two factions in the game – there was so much processing power needed my computer locked up in the middle of the battle; I just logged back in again.
7:30 there was a dude on my server that got famous for getting rank14 in the middle of summer. I won't say where he lived but let's say that's a place where in summer you basically need to walk 20 meters to have a chance with a girl (super touristic and all based on discos and nightlife in general).
It became such a joke that when I bought my copy of Burning Crusade the cashier told me he was a player and the first thing he said was if I knew the guy.
That's what got lost around cata, the community. Nodoby knows anyone because nobody really matters except the raid group.
WoW and EQ were the same. You literally schedule your entire life around the game.
I'd love to watch this, but I gotta do dailies in WoW, like… right?
God, what a nerd.
He goes into great detail about the game and why he kept going back to play more, but he never really talked about which parts of his life were "ruined" by it. He didn't get a job; that happens to everyone. There was a hurricane, and his brother was mean to him; neither of those were things he could control. The bottom line is: He had fun, he made friends, and he performed in the game at a high enough level to feel pride in his efforts. There are people out there who will talk about their careers in the same light as he talks about WoW.
Ok I am gonna say it – Can videogames be addictive? Yes. But if you look at this guy in the video – he would have gotten addicted to something else if WoW did not exist. He can't sit still, he is shifting his focus etc. If WoW didnt get him, maybe he would have started smoking, gambling or drinking? Who knows.
it can really just be shortened to "addiction ruined my life"
Shame the guy looks at his time in the game so negatively I wonder what he thinks he would have been doing that would make him as happy?, I look back at my time very fondly and have a lot of good memories. This guy needs counselling or something and obviously deep in some depression/ close to breakdown.
Can I ask what extensions is that?
Discord ? Back in those days was vent lol
Birmingham crusade OUT POG lOl follwing up with the Bernie Crusage YEP ! Good time Boys
You can become addicted to anything lol I love wow play it all the time, am I addicted to it, yeah I'd say I'm. But I also don't let it destroy my life.
Well dammit perfect teeth ruined my life……fuck!!!!!😂
It's always way too easy to watch a 45 minute video here. lol. You're ruining my life Asmongold!
There are people that get socially addicted when they go to college and they stop studying and doing anything else just to party
Really cool that you played with your mom. I wish my parents played lol
I played WoW as a kid, so I think I that kept me from getting sucked in too deep. My parents also didnt let me play all day because they werent shit
I only play oldschool RuneScape now but there are dude's in my clan that play 17-18 hours a day and smoke weed. I don't think they have a job. The leader of my clan is on the top 10 leader boards for certain raids and I just feel bad for him. Thats all hes got is that little box of text showing he is one of the top players.
The best thing about this video is you have this guy explaining how this addiction ruined his life and the whole time Asmon is sitting there one-upping his experiences while feeling nostalgia about it.
I always love getting the little nuggets of PinkSparkles lore.
There is no time lost in having fun 🎉
I'm sorry, the videogame did not ruin your life, YOUR choices ruined your life.
Theres honestly not an excuse for playing this much… Ive parsed top 8 on my server as a paladin and I only played around 6 hours a week maximum once I reached max level (took about a week). These people who have 10 maxed raid characters do it to themselves, their addictive personalities and low amount of self control make it so they make completely irrational decisions
Hey, my first ever also was an undead, warrior, it was such a great time : ). Free from WoW addition now, moved to PoE addiction.
Whats this guy talking about. This all seam ratuer tame imo
