      Same. I keep thinking that there has to be a damn reason for that..! We were once so important to each other, so where did it go wrong? I’ve come to the conclusion that your old friends, and yourself included, have changed too much over the years. Their interests changed, attraction towards others changed, etc. People just change too quickly for us to adapt, and that’s facts. Big sad, but hey, we’ll meet new people down the road! :)

    • @DisDatK9
      @DisDatK9 6 лет назад +46

      Mark Jens same here. All of my best friends ended up going to college and becoming incredibly liberal (which isn’t inherently bad) and I joined the Navy and ended up going all over the place. I came home and they absolutely despised me because I had just gotten home from war and they absolutely hated anyone who didn’t just throw down their weapons and walk away.

I was super depressed because of this and not being able to see anyone and everyone’s too young and busy with school to just come on over...

    Goddamn, Jakey. THIS IS ART. The cinematography, old clips, and editing perfectly complimented what you had to say. It all hit right in the feels. It blows my mind how you absolutely bodyslam any topic or style you try to tackle.
    And this kind of story is exactly why games mean so much to so many people. A lot of people miss this when talking about games, but they're more than just what's on the disc. They're a time and a place and the feelings you were having when you played them and how they helped you cope with those feelings.

    Me and my ex girlfriend who was my first girlfriend and best friend at the time, the first person i really loved, played all the bioshock games together on ps3, it was really fun and a great memory they really mean alot to me, i just found out a few months ago that she had committed suicide, this video really made me emotional but also reminded me that even small things like this can mean so much to people. will always have those memories.

    I have had a similar experience this last year, except with Factorio. I moved to Vancouver from small town Saskatchewan. It was a hard move, and my best friend for 12 years gave me a steam gift card. He said “Buy Factorio. Let’s play when you get there. I love you, man.”
    I got to Vancouver and discovered he was hit and killed by a drunk driver the day after I left. I felt sad, depressed, and hatred. I was alone, lost, and having dark thoughts. I was considering ending it all.
    Then I remembered my buddy, Josef, and what he told me. I went online, with trembling hands and bought Factorio with the steam gift card he handed me the last time I saw him alive. I booted it up, and fell in love.
    I played through the pain, through the thoughts, and he played with me, in spirit. We went on adventures for oil, uranium, and biter nests. We crafted massive factories to create entire worlds. We watched as your civilization reached the stars.
    When I saw the victory screen after launching my first rocket. I was sad. I felt my buddy leaving my side. We were on that adventure, and it was over. I cried for days and nights over him. I struggled in school, and I went back to that dark space in my mind.
    I then got back from school one day, being notified I want on track to graduate high school in 3 months from that day. I honestly considered suicide. I thought it was the only way.
    I than thought of Josef. His life, cut short. I rebooted my dusty PC, and launched Factorio once again. The familiar opening scene brought a familiar sense of joy to me. I clicked on “Play”, then “New Game”.
    Hundreds of hours later, my empire is shaping still, Josef, my guide, my companion, my buddy. I managed to go from failing grades to ~80% in all my classes and accepted into UBC, with a scholarship. I survived.
    To this day, I wish I could have been at his funeral, two thousand people, his entire school, payed respects over the course of a week after his passing.
    I visited my hometown last month, and saw his gravestone, just a few hundred paces from my grandfather’s. I laid the steam card at the base, than left, feeling like we had paid each other back. I left my hometown, tearfully, on the late night flight back to Vancouver. I stared out the window the entire time, listening to his Spotify playlist of his favourite rap music. Reliving our entire childhood together. I never felt more complete than that day.
    I love you Josef.

    I swear you've tapped into a certain zeitgeist of growing up in the late 2000's. Your introspective videos hit really hard and speak to the profound ways that pop culture artifacts get woven into the fabric of our lives. Something about the interactivity of games makes them a space for expression and self discovery, a safe space where control can be exercised even in the midst of the shitty helplessness of childhood and adolescence. These videos must resonate with a whole lot of people.

    Animal Crossing was my escape when I was twelve years old and living in a chaotic household. The feeling of having some sort of control in an innocent world that gave you some kind of real freedom was a gift that I can't equate anything to at that time. This is why games are so special. It's not just entertainment - it can be a way of getting through times that are too hard to process in this big chaotic confusing world. Thanks for this vid Jakey boi~

      It was mine too. My mother I hadn't seen in a decade got custody of me, and we moved 600 miles away to a place I had never been and knew no one in, into a family I didn't know.
      But I had a GameCube I'd gotten a week prior. And I had Animal Crossing and Wind Waker.
      Pretty sure those two games actually legitimately saved my life - because even with them, I came pretty close to giving up sometimes... but maintaining that goddamn town and seeing KK every weekend legitimately gave me something to look forward to, and sailing the seas in WW let me feel an escape I hadn't experienced prior to then.

    2019 was one of the worst years of my life. I started my first year in college and was dealing with a lot of shit. My classmates and seniors were mean, I was feeling alone because all of my friends from high school parted ways, my grades went down because I had almost no motivation to study for tests and attending to classes (I even had to repeat that grade), but above all, my depression had gotten really bad. In December, when the school year was over, I was completely wrecked, I barely recognized myself and had bad expectations for my next year. On Christmas my dad gave me a ps4 with a copy of spider-man ps4. I felt more happy in that one Christmas than I felt in that whole shitty year. Spider-man ps4 was the first ps4 game I ever played and it holds a special place in my heart because it made me rediscover my love for gaming and brought me back to when I was a kid playing ps2. And the one person I should thank for that is my dad.

    I met a kid on Xbox Live when I was playing splinter cell double agent. He lived in California and I lived in Utah but we played every day, as in halo and cod ect. As years went on and new gen came out we haven't played a lot. He was playing PC and I was still on Xbox 360. I saved for awhile to get an Xbox One. One time he got a hold of me and BOY was I surprised he wasn't no "squeaker" anymore. He was telling how he had family problems and was living in a mentally abusive environment and how he was going to move. I felt really bad how much sadder and mad he sounded after not talking since we were like 12 yrs old. A couple of months later he was asking me if I knew what elder Scrolls online was, I said "no, but I know the elder Scrolls franchise"
    He was saying how we need to play this game together. Later on he told me I could have all his games because he was transferring to PC. Well so he did and we talk in discord once in awhile. But these 6 years of friendship from just one round of team death match can really impact you in life.

      I remember when I played on the Xbox 360, I was playing on GTA 4 and I was driving around and found a random, I honked my horn a few times and he got in and we were the best of buddies for the entire game until we had to go, we had to leave we added each other and talked later the next day, he turned out to be an Aussie around my age and we just instantly clicked we played everything together, Minecraft bf3, CoD mw2-3 bo1 - 2 anything you nsme it we were the best of friends, fast forward a year or so he got an Xbox 1 and I was still on the 360 we still talked to another but after a while it ended not because we didn't like each other but for other reasons. He was one of my best friends during that time of my life since I was never really able to make many friends during school, and I honestly miss him so much and want to reconnect with him.

    This video made me tear up. Oblivion was that game for me. A friend gave it to me right before I graduated high school and I moved away from everyone. I was at a time in my life where I really just wanted to die because I had no idea what to do in life, and Oblivion really helped me soothe my soul until I got myself together.

    Hey Jake, from 14-18 I was miserable. I had no friends and was so depressed I spent most of my life waking up, eating breakfast, then laying down and watching youtube all day. I was so depressed and Anxious and every day was so depressing. Video games and movies were my biggest escape. I didn't have friends, and I was incredibly social. Given a sudden medical development it caused the 14-17 me being in an independent school, I had to teach myself. But at least I had videogames and movies to escape with. I wasn't "Scot, the kid crippled with constant headaches and depression." I was "John Marston, Jason Brody, Master Chief, and so much more."
    I wasn't stuck with misery when my life was at its worse. And I have the developers of so many great games to thank for it. Your video game me a lump in my throat reminding me of how important they were to me. Thank you. Stay gold jakey boy.

      Clunt Westwood you can get so lost in a story, watching or playing as someone who is different, that you care about, but also knowing subconsciously that it’s not reality. Stories of the fundamental form of entertainment and an effective form of therapy, especially for someone going through their awkward stages. They made me realize that life would get better, and it has.

Thank you for your genuine and whole hearted video, Jessie for his generosity and humbleness, and thank you Bioshock, for helping us lonely kids find solace when we needed it the most.

    Listening to your videos feels immensely relaxing, it's as if I'm listening to myself healing, working through the past and feeling better about it. In my life right now I am depressed and suicidal, but remembering who I am underneath all that hurt, I really appreciate it. I don't know how you are doing now but I hope you are feeling loved and appreciated by the life you are working towards. Something about you is saint like, sharing your feelings. Life isn't about being being good at what you try, it's about the experiences you have, the interesting person they make you.

    Jakey. The first video I saw of yours was the death of couch multiplayer- a video where you and the viewer both went down a little nostalgia trip about playing video games with your little brother or friends and calling them big stinkies while you hit them with a falco punch. That video instantly got me to subscribe but it also made me think about my mid-childhood a lot. I had a lot of good times but most of them were eventually ruined by moving away countless times (10 total). The video made me feel like I missed out a lot on memories as a child.
    However through this video, you brought an unbelievably relatable story where you basically went through the same thing that I went through. I dont feel like I missed out- I feel like I went through the ups and downs that every kid goes through instead. Seriously thanks for making this video.
    Ps. Your channel also kind of inspired me to start making videos with similar presentation. So shoutout to you for that too. Love ya jake

    Fantastic video with a great point.
    I met my best friend in 10th grade art class. I just happened to sit at the same table as him, didn’t know anyone else in the class, so I casually asked if he was into games and what games, he said he was, I asked him if he was excited for any upcoming games, he said Fallout New Vegas. Instant friendship. A couple years after high school he and I (as well as some other mutual friends) drifted apart due to many different things, a rough patch in many of our lives, but then the Fallout 4 teaser dropped in June 2015, I texted him about it, we got to chatting again at first about the game, then life, we started hanging out more and more. 3 years later our friendship is stronger than it’s ever been, I consider him a brother, and it all happened because of that one initial connection to a game series we both shared. Amazing what a simple thing in common can blossom into.

    My Uncle gave me a 360 and a bunch of games for my 12th birthday. A month or two after he gave the 360 and games my family moved from Washington DC to Mountain View, California. He lived in Seattle at the time but moved to California only a little while after we moved there. He visited a lot and bought me a ton of games. One time he took me to GameStop and we bought Bioshock 1 and 2 with all the DLC. Bioshock made me so happy, I loved the story and gameplay and everything about the game was just so good. After a few months of finding no jobs (He’s a technical artist for games) he got an interview at Blizzard. He got the job and is now a technical artist for World of Warcraft. He’s the reason my mom lets me play video games, he’s the reason I got so into video games and the reason that I’ve matured and grown so much.
