"I play 48 hours a week"
"You gotta pump those number up. Those are rookie numbers" - Asmon 😂😂😂
Love wolf of wall street!
I like how he finds 6 hours a day respectable but that actually only adds up to 42 hours per week. lmao.
@@XXXGaaraFan2013XXX69 lmao he ain't good at math
thats because its his job to sit there and play all day
2006-2007 i was playing well over 50--60 hours per week
"Me and my girlfriend are still pretty good so. "
Asmongold: ... for now
LOL
I've poured thousands of hours into Skyrim, 2k, Madden and WoW through Jr High, High School and beyond, but no amount of gaming ever took precedent over life itself. I will forever miss having summers as a teen, pulling all nighters on games in my parents basement, sleeping on the couch, the basement might as well have been my room in the summer. Closest thing I've had to that was when classic released, I had hernia surgery like a week before and spent about a month and a half playing classic before I went back to work. Good times.
I agree, wonderful times! Never overtook my life's main priorities but damn did I sink a good portion of my life into doing what you just said and honestly... I wish I could go back to those times. Some of the greatest of my life :).
The fact that he flips out about how casual 48 hours a week is, and then within 30 seconds is saying how respectable 4-6 hours a day is lmao i love asmon so much hahaha
Math isn’t his strong suit apparently
I was thinking the same thing I'm no mathematician but geez asmon lol
hours per day always sounds more then per week
I think he heard 4 to 8 hours a week, instead of 48 hours a week.
hard maths
Someone should remake this and revisit all these players, see what’s changed.
Dude that would be awesome
@@VideoManDan what do you mean?
"I would sit with a drink in the morning and get up at midnight"
That was honestly the best part of most of our childhoods if we grew up with a computer / console.
I was like this on my PS1 in my early teens every weekend. Homework be damned, I did my duties during the week days.
Weekends I was the king of the game station and nothing would pull me off it.
@@ZeranZeran You just unlocked some old ass memories. I remember getting up at 6, staying there till midnight, only getting up to get food/drink and take a piss.Good times
@Jim Jam the youngest millennials are like 26 right now. You mean Gen Z
Yep, we had a PC with a CRT monitor. Me and my brother spend days playing games, emulating gba, ripping PS2 dvds and emulating them on PC is like a dream come true.
True and Real PS1/PS2. Had so many amazing games. Mgs, Jax and daxter, Spyro, kingdom hearts, final fantasy ten. Madden, NCAA football, NFL blitz. Soooo many man!!! I miss those days so much greatest days of my life
I once got in a fight at school, a bully was picking on me pushing me and had 3 friends with him. He got so in my face and started a fight with me, i foguht back, got suspended for a week. And if i got in trouble i didnt get to play on weekends.. that kid ruined 1 of my tunes lol
Met my husband in WoW. 9 years later we are still together, moved to FF14. I have 12+ years in WoW, originally from Everquest. He was a beta tester. Loved every minute of WoW. Still miss it.
And how many guys that you've met in mmos have you cheated on him with? Lol
@@greglyhoblit lol wtf
@@greglyhoblit lol Chad asking the real questions
@@greglyhoblit probably none cause MMOs players are losers lol
Nat paigel ?
I want to re-live those days, but there's no true replacement for that game, for that time. It wasn't just about the game, it was about the great experience that nobody expected. It was all new, it was just great. Anyone else wants to make another revolutionary MMO experience like that? hahaha
Not gonna happen in our lifetime haha
Wow classic was as close as you could’ve gotten, but In this day and age players will always find a way to optimize the fun out of any game.
Riots mmo is the literal last hope for the genre. Hoping for the best but always get let down when it comes to mmos
@@HollowRick pity you have that mindset
Not all of us got to play, my foster parents didn't allow it (even though I saved up for it and expansions) so I would draw from the WoW art books and read the books. Only started playing a few years ago
Love hearing the old gamer stories. Really brings me back to the same time carrying a big POS PC around town as a kid to play games all day and night long. Feels like a lifetime ago. Really nostalgic.
It is a life time ago
i remember hauling over my overclocked celeron pc to a lan party, bragging about how i got it up to 1.2ghz from 733mhz, meanwhile another guy showed up with his 3dfx voodoo gfx card and was showing off how much better it was then all of ours, but then it underpreformed in unreal tournament and team fortress against our nvidia geforce 2's. back then i also played ragnarok online, i'd haul the system over to a friend's house on the weekend since he had adsl, i just had AOL dial-up at home.
@@CirnoBush omg i stil remember my voodoo card and the third party community drivers after it got discontinued
I love the guy who said his chemistry grades went up “he must have leveled alchemy”
Back in the day wow was a virtual drug yes, but also a cure for depression and stress. I remember coming back from school and instantly going on the PC to play wow almost every day. It was tough to balance homework/assignments with video gaming, and my social life also suffered a bit - but I succeeded and it was worth every single second of it.
I've been playing WoW since 2004 December, this is exactly how it was. Playing on a Potato PC but still very much enjoyed WoW. Now I'm not playing Shadowlands currently but Playing Classic is awesome. However the feeling of playing WoW is not the same as it was years ago. That was when I was in high school, no friends, also no kids, no responsibilities. If only we could go back in time to revisit those memories.
I did like 10h per day the period from 2007-2011, the game was super addictive and all my friends played it too
This was peak WoW
congratz i envy you played in the best period i started after cataclysm cos i didnt had a decent pc
Is that Hetza?
Cause you had to, to keep up. Game punished you so hard for even taking a few days off.
@@vance4172 of thistle
Lmaoo Asmongold making his mom her first character sounded like a drug dealer 😂😂
In many eyes Asmon lives the dream life but in his eyes the dream life was way back before he was famous.
It was... Got anyone born before mid 90's
Most of us have those dream like days we will never forget. I live in a shit ass country but I can fondly remember my youth playing WoW.
sure hes rich but what else has he got going on? just video games
@@addy1294 How do you know what he has going on bro?
@@addy1294 "Just videogames" made him rich, gave him a job that he loves (streamer), he has his friends, he has his dad, and he has his own business (OTK). I think he's doing pretty ok for just videogames.
Scarab Lord > Software Engineer
Ahhh the old "teach a parent how to play, get a free pass for another 5 hours" trick. I remember raiding together with my dad until like 5am and then having him bring me to school at 8 am. And then doing it again two days later. I miss being 15...
litty lol
😂😂😂 this is one of the best rl WoW stories I've ever heard. What was the car chat like?
@@kaptainkimura It was usually stuff like my dad asking me to help him out with content he had trouble killing on his own. Cause i'm a druid main and he's a warrior main. And it was his first MMO so sometimes he'd have trouble solo'ing content. :D I remember him asking me like right before my exams he had asked me:" Once you're done with this exam, can you come and help me out with those trial of the crusader jousting games? I keep trying em but i have no clue how they work..." And he'd also question me about tests and such while we'd be playing, so my points wouldn't drop.
Funny how 48 hours a week Asmon is like "casual..."
but then says 4-6 hours a day is decent....
lol
@@ChairmanMeow1 to be fair....I had to use my calculator LOL
Decent = casual. Only real ones quit their jobs to play
decent means casual the guys that played 1h are NPCs hahaha like in that time u cant even finish a raid
@@gecgoodpasi1654 can't find a group either. The only alternative for their suspicious story is that they are playing on pvp server, ganking lower level players in stranglethorn and having a good time
2005-2006 were my most precious wow years. Playing like 16-18 hours a day during vacation.
Zac, your mum, may she rest in peace, was a legend. So glad she let you play excessive wow as the entertainment you bring to us, the viewers is invaluable.
omg has asmonds mum passed away what really?
@@davidlee3203 ?
@@moelali2199 I asked if almonds mum passed away if she did I didn't know
@@davidlee3203 she did a few months ago
up at 9:00, farm consumables until 18:00, RAID, 18:00 to 01:00,. Those were the days
Its really over... even while i sit here in a private Cata server, I know in my heart, it's over. It was a small flash in the human experience, so small to the rest of the world it was rarely noticed... but for the people who experienced it, it was a miracle. The perfect technology, augmenting a perfect story, using new gaming techniques, with a new platform, and we all got to enjoy it. We stormed An Quiraj, toppled Naxxramas, we ended Magtheridon and then put an end to Illidan. We reclaimed the Sunwell, and departed to the frozen wastes of Northrend to end the Lich King, and we even survived the great sundering, and ended the Earth Warder. We had grand adventures, and made so many friends and enemies... but the truth is, it's all over. But we will NEVER forget.
"We didn't know that we were making memories, we just knew that we were having fun."
3:55 I laughed so hard. Literally every single mom. They don't understand what online gaming is. You just can't make them understand that you can't stop in an instant especially if you are in a group content with other people.
Yeah. I was once healing in SFK and my mom really wanted to put the air conditioner in my window that was right over my desk immediately. She made us wipe. It's hilarious in hindsight but at the time I was pissed.
Én is jot kacagtam barátom 😌
Back in the day when this was filmed, gaming/gamers had a weird social stigma around them so it's likely some of these people played longer than what they said for social desirability bias because they knew they were being filmed with their full name being used.
Even as a casual today those numbers seem really reasonable. I don't think they'd even finish all of their Blizzard chores in those amounts of hours nowadays.
God damn you can see the despair in that guy's eyes once he said I haven't made any online friends.. unfortunately.
I remember how often the servers would crash back in 2005 and how old blizzard gave 1 or 3 days free game time depending on how long the servers were down. I think the love and dedication old blizzard had is what made WoW so popular and loved despite it having a very unstable and rocky launch in Europe
In 2007 my then high-school daughter asked me to play this new game with her (I wasnt into video games) and I said I'd try it - and we ended up playing WoW (started just before BC dropped) for the next 6ish years together. My hub traveled for work and when he was gone I would allow her to ditch sometimes and we'd play for almost 24 hours straight, ordering chinese take-out and getting no sleep. Some of our best times together, and her best memories growing up, were these days. She still graduated school with good grades and we have a great relationship and I attribute part of that to those times. Oh, and I developed a massive appreciation for video gaming - something I still love doing now.
3:55 when moms could not fathom the idea that a game could not be paused
asmon talking about the wow stories is the best you can say what you want about the game but the memories alone make it the best MMO of all time its the simple.
I remember teasing my friend for playing WoW. Then I tried it out and played it for like 10 hours a day lmao
Shame the documentary is no longer on RUclips… rest in peace 08.04.06 - 2022
I have it I screen recorded it 😂😂😂
No matter what Blizzard does, they gave me the best childhood and memories I could ever wish for.
Nintendo was where it was at back in the day, man. Good times
@yep Like a certain youtuber likes to point out, it isn't enough for corporations to make money...they have to make ALL the money in the world.
This is great cuz I just watched this a few weeks ago and I was wishing Asmon would watch it lol
back when being a gamer and nerd actually meant something. not like the filthy casual posers today
''i'm a gamer'' in post 2020 checklist;
- been playing Fortnite/LOL for 2+ years
- plays exclusively on mobile
- never heard of Half Life
- no idea what bios is
- no reading comprehension
- inspired to be a hacker/developer
i spent my years between like 14 and 18 just playing wow all waking hours didn't go to school didn't work.
imagine thinking 1.30 hours a day is " a problem" what in the actual fuck. every parent who bitched about it easily watched 2 hours of tv every night.
Ye and what do you work as now? Cashier?
@@Bigbootyclapper96 i stayed at home because of social anxiety. so it would not have mattered if i sat in my room and stared at a wall or played video games. the point is that spending a few hours after work playing on the computer instead of the tv needs to stop being seen as something bad.
video games activate your mind waaaaay more than tv.
@@Bigbootyclapper96 you're the type of npc that's wrong with the world. Imagine thinking a job makes you a less of a person. I bet all you think about is work and what brand clothes you're wearing.
From the beginning of the vanilla until the end of Ulduar in WotLK I averaged around 11 hours a day. That was a lot of hours I put to the game back then and it was more or less my whole life. We were among the top 15 guilds in the world so it did "pay off" but at the same time it took a couple of years of my life as well. I only have good memories though.
I literally watched this the other day and was thinking what if asmongold reacted to this 🤣
Wauw, how Asmon explained how he took the Gatherade en played all day, that gave me chills and amazing flashbacks... this game was just so good.
World of warcraft i literally played every waking moment i had. I created maps for offline lan vs battles while my online was selling loot.
Asmon "48 hours a week is casual wtf"
Also Asmon "4-6 hours a day is okay"
Bruh math?
Hahaha, that made me laugh quite a lot! :D
Lmao my thoughts exactly
Beat me to it
@@Persona6Blue exactly. The context is relevant
AsMOM is a legend, may she rest in paradise
"I wouldn't let my mom make me do anything" fucking killled meee 😆
I’m dying, 48 hours a week is basically 7 hours a day. And y’all are all saying casual then dude comes in says 4-6 hours which is less and he’s like now that’s better lol
I mean obviously their math is wrong, but 7 hours a day is still a casual. I checked my game time report from when I was ranking in classic, and on the last week I had 9000 mins (150 hours) played in a week. Leaving 2.5 hours a day for sleep. Now if you account for falling asleep while playing and sleeping during queues, a more realistic number is probably 140 hours a week, or 20 hours a day.
That week was an exception though, most other weeks I had from 8000 to 8500 minutes played.
Now obviously that's dumb as fuck and very unhealthy, but my point still stands: 7 hours a day is very much a casual.
@@Morgwic just because some people play even more, doesnt make 7 hours a day casual.
@@Morgwic I was just pointing out math wasn’t there strong suit lol. I agree though, when tbc classic came out, I took bout 3 weeks off work and was playing well over 100 hours a week. Then my kids and job and reality kicked in and I had to stop doing that lol. Was still fun and worth it to me.
I totally pulled an Asmons mom trick on my wife. My wife would bring her friends over to make fun of me raiding MC. One day I got her tipsy and convinced her to make a character on my account. A few days later she started calling me at work asking me how to do things in game. I knew at that point she was hooked. We both raided hard core in BC and WOTLK. Still play casually today as a couple.
I was on my 3rd MMORPG when WoW came out. I vividly remember I was playing FF11 online trying to level my Samurai. I've noticed couple of my Linkshell members left to beta test WoW and never came back. I had an opportunity to try WoW but I decided to stay in FF11.
Yikes huge mistake lmao
@@rubens6619 is it tho hmmmmmm .?
Asmon should make his own Documentary.
he has a video about his time in TBC and Wrath...
He’s made a few actually
I got my Dad into WoW and now he has literally every single fucking mount in the game. Thats his thing. He has a full roster of maxed out characters. Meanwhile I dipped into playing casual in Cata and dropped it during pandas till Legion and then dipped after BfA was a proven disaster and haven't come back
I was never into MMO's, but I did use to play SOCOM 2 from Friday night to Sunday night without ever sleeping. Of course I would play late into the night during the week, but a three day grind was common for me, for years on end.
SOCOM was the shit! Miss those days
@@yeoldesalt Facts. My man.
Just before that time in the 90s, I remember a classmate burst into tears, when we had to say our daily TV consumption and he went above 3 hours average a day! 🤣 That was just a decade before that...probably 1996 or something.
But yeah...welcome asmon...you little boomer 🤣
I have never played WOW. Always interested me, but each year that goes by makes it seem like it would be harder and harder to jump into. Great video!
I still have fond memories of 18 hours straight when the first KotOR came out
Asmon is an absolute legend and he’s only getting started
"imade a lot of friends in wow"
bruh you became a millionare.
Asmongold you sir are a legend. "He who got his mom to play WOW instead of enforcing parental rules" God 🙏
man this makes me sad. i started playing wow with my best friends in grade school back in 2005. we would play thru the week at our own homes and on the weekends wed all bring our pcs to our one friends house. in 2011 we were still playing and we lost one of our best friends. since then its been hard as fuck moving on and kinda destroyed me. life just hasnt been the same man and i just want that back. i shouldnt make it sound so negative. a few years back i got my gf into wow and its something we can play together and enjoy. she loves it and is addicted and a natural too.
R.I.P. seg..(pallypants-gorefiend) love ya man
There is just something magical about the early internet days and the early 2000s in general. It was a time when a lot of things were starting to become new, there were fewer restrictions, online groups of interest were smaller but more focused, and there was much less big corporate meddling in everything internet related.
Your Mom was legend! WOW revolutionized game play and friendships. I met my ex-husband on wow, lived in Canada and had a lot of experiences I would not have had because of WOW, good and bad. The marriage may not have lasted but I have a beautiful daughter from it. I have been playing since 2008. :) Glad you are back Azmon!
joined in wotlk...got addicted, finally got to 80...played 12 hours a day at least..ended up with 8 lvl 80s in the the space of like 6 months
god i miss the days where me and my friends would bring our laptops to our friends house to all play world of warcraft together i still remember playing on my level 20 troll hunter
Asmon the first person to turn a mini documentary into a tv series with all the pauses lol
What’s funny is the judgmental adults watching this on their TV after hours of pounding beer and sitting on their ass. “Lazy kids”
Lolol facts
13:15 being in my last semester at college, i’ve realized how important this is.
It's adorable how 48 hours a week is rookie numbers, but 4-6 hours a day is reasonable. Never change, Zack ^^
Let me add a little story about myself. I started wow back in 2008, and I had a good pack of my rl pals on it, and some others we met in the game. Up till 2013, take into consideration these years I was between 17-22, and my pals 2-3y younger compared to me on average, and our schedule beside highschool/university, was mostly play wow daily, football outside, some skating here and there, rock concerts, goth girls ( decent ones, before streaming became a thing )....prolly the best years of my life, even if they werent very productive, and wouldnt change a bit, because those days gave raise to my career path, theorcrafting stats gave me insight into Qa and accounting, which pays the bills well. Too bad as with every good thing, there is also an end, 1 by 1 my rl pals dropped the game, some moved on with their lives as what kept us a thing was playing games, if I would name them today by my new standards, I would just name them hobby mates, which is fine for filling time, but not depend on an important situation. I still play the game by this day, when I am 31, but less and is no longer the same, just a habbit beside others. Good times, might come again, might not ( had a short redo during the pandemic) might be in a different format or another activity, but one thing is for sure...I dont regret anything, I owe this to the present me
once in a lifetime you get a wow experience, salute the old times.
We had a LAN center in my town back then. 20$ and you could play on one of their machines all day. From 12pm-12am or 12-2am on weekends. People would be in there playing WOW anytime I went in. I mean like 24/7 they played the game. It also was great for battlefield and counterstrike, RTS games, almost any game back then. It is closed down now, but it’s one of the places I sure do miss with a piece of my heart. Arena LAN Games was an epic place to have when you were in middle/high school. Damn I miss the people and experiences that place brought.
Waking up on a Saturday morning, slamming down and playing without leaving the desk till the Sunday morning 11am... Best days ever.
5:42 This part is so fucking funny, idk why it made me laugh so hard. 🤣
I managed to get 3k+ hours in 3 years on Guild Wars. That comes down to 2.74 hours EVERYDAY, between 2005 and 2008. When closed beta weekends came, I would blow off my friends to play instead. In 2006 I started college. Skipping classes, doing next to no homework was "normal" for me. Almost had to leave my study due to grades, but got a big enough spark up my ass to actually study and get enough points to be allowed to continue. Man, recall being in multiple guilds due to timezones and stuff. Those were the days.
The dude in the Boston Hoodie looks like the guy that films and works with air rack lol
I remember my cousin got me into WoW and he had notifications about my account for a while. He got a automated email saying "You played 39 hours in the last two days". He sent me a screenshot at the time, he was online just as much.
Never felt more connected with someone while taking a shit then when i busted out laughin same time as asmon after the awkward silence when dude said he hasnt made any friends online 😂
I watch asmongold because as a 10k+ hr gamer I feel more validated than anyone else ever could make me feel
that was like me back in the day with halo 1 and 2 every weekend have like 10 people over doing LAN fuck those were the days also was super addicted to counter strike and diablo 2 and lod wouldn't leave my room didn't get into WoW till BC quit at the end of Wrath
I remember a time when I woke up played WoW with friends, went to bed and woke up and we played again from 7am to 11/12pm, 7 days a week
My God man. I played 400 days play time in a year and a half in vanilla og wow. 16 hours a day. They should've interviewed me. HAHA
I damn near failed high school because I was so into the game. I would skip school and wake up at 5am and not go to bed until 1-2am every single day. And tell my mom in the am that I'm too tired to go to school so I'd just grind and play for 12-16 hours a day every single day I could.
7:12
and here we are !!!!
did he say few weeks !!
i think he meant few decades , still working on it for sure
soon guys, soon
I definitely played a lot of video games when I was a kid. I realized there were better things to put my time into that actually were personally rewarding. Gaming is a zero sum game. You get some mindless enjoyment from it but it doesn’t add anything tangible to your life.
A year I were off work then got a WoW Annual Pass (Diablo 3 for free too) and played regularly 14 hours a day. Also got lucky with the timing since continued with free time beta testing MoP.
Asmon on nutshell
"i play 48hours per week"
Asmon: bullshit! that's nothing....
"i play 4-6hours per day"
Asmon: Okay, that's something...
"i play an hour in the weekend & on othertime so around 30h/week"
Asmon: Decent enough...
Bruh!!!!
back in 2010 i used to hide under the desk so my mom would think that i am sleeping and it was like 10 pm ( time for bed, school tomorrow) so when she came to check if there is some1 sitting on the PC i turned the monitor off and hid under the desk. I knew she only checks if the monitor is glowing if it's off this meant i am in bed. so i played WoW whole nights until sunrise and just before she came in the morning to wake me up i go in bed and pretend that i am asleep. BEST fucking period of my life.
That long hold on "I have not made any online friends" is comedy gold.
yas the good ol lan parties on the weekend. some of us still had amigas and we were playin quake 2
I started playing early in tbc. I’d finish work at 5pm, play from 6pm to 1am and on weekends I’d get up at 6 and play until midnight 😂
I was obsessed
Hours???? they're all lying because when they're into the game...they don't even know what time is.
Dude when Asmon had to explain cybering I felt old.....
I never did homework too. Home is for home school is for school
Lol that half life guy hahahahahahahahaha 😂
in my addicted wow time vanilla, i played 40 hours at a stretch without a break. sometimes i didn't even eat anything. Then I slept for 7 hours and played again for 10 hours (when I didn't fall asleep on the keyboard).
i used to book a week off for the expansions the first two days were grind 48hrs awake then sleep for a day and back at it, im older now and the game went south
Tbh what i did was i finished homework at school, during other classes and in-between classes, finished everything and when i got home i at times helped family sometimes and then i just played WoW till bed time, it kept me grinding, it kept my parents fine with it because hey their kid isn't out there causing problems like so many other kids were, instead they're doing something else and their schoolwork isn't hurting from it, i wasn't top student but i did do enough to be considered one of the higher-end students, and people hated it ngl, they knew i didn't study home, they knew i did all my schoolwork at school, of course they hate it when someone else is more capable, lmao.
1:02 an hour and a half a day.... IMAGINE 😱😱😱🤣🤣🤣🤣
I told my mom that World of Warcraft would sharpen my writing/reading skills because of all the quest text I had to read.
I never read the quest texts.
Havent even watched the video yet but i saw the tumpnale and this is gonna be a good one!!
Strongly suggest watching 'Second Skin' if you liked this. Documentary about all MMOs from back 2008.
Matthew McConaughey: those are rookie numbers.
Bruh I’m on medical leave after an accident. I wake up and game sleep 3 hours a night maybe sometimes I don’t. And it’s dope.
