"I was rich back then, I had so many friends, I had my mom. She took care of us and we were happy."
That part hit something different.
I'm in tears, man.
You can see him choking back tears. Broke my heart.
He literally tried his best to not cry on that part, W Asmon
Wow, possibly the most profound statement and sentiment hes ever said. So much self-awareness on what he had and has lost since then. Its the living example of "money can't buy you happiness". I am sure Zack is happy to have the wealth he has, but I bet he would trade it all away for one more day with his mom and friends back then. There are some times back then I"d go back for a day at least, I do think my life is better now though in a number of ways.
@@dustinmorgan2685 hit me right in the feels man.
thanks for reacting to my video Zack!! what should I make about next?
orcs
gnomes
Why putting a metal propeller in ur sperm doesnt solve the problem
Spermbot.
Gacha players!
"I was the richest i ever been back then" damn bro that hits hard.
I didn't sign up for a feels trip😢
How can he talk about his dear Mum without tears I think about my Mum and its waterworks,GodBless him
Was this all pre dead rat or after?
theres a joke from american dad that i think of:
Stan: I tell ya, I was in the best shape of my life. I was closer to God than I've ever been, and I was flush with cash.
Francine: Stan, i dont want to talk about 5th grade
That shit hit HARD
I feel that man. My dad died of Covid at the start of 2021 and my mom developed dementia at the same time.
Since then I’ve lost 75 lbs and improved my health and career.
I would give anything to go back to having dinner with my parents eating fried fish and French fries every night, relaxing with my dad, gaming, and talking with my mom
You sound like a good person. I hope you’re doing well my friend
Stay strong brotha
Hey mate, I feel you too. My dad died in 2020, and my mother passed away from Alzheimer's in December 2023. My firstborn is on the way, and now I miss them even more. As Asmongold rightly says: 'I was rich back then. They took care of me, and I had many friends.' I would do anything to be with them again. It was a good life.
Keep going man, only you can keep their memory alive. Fk life, spite it by moving forward
God bless you, man.
Asmon helped his friend do chores, questing for his friend's copy of WoW. That's so wholesome.
Mom played WoW and made them cupcakes.
He doesn't know how good he had it.
No amount of money can buy that back.
We used to beat each other with wooden katanas and kendo sticks. So many bruised knuckles.
My mom wouldn't quit smoking either and she died from cancer in 2006.
Mom was the OG that beat the water level in TMNT on NES and then took us to McDonald's breakfast at 3 am when we were little.
:'( I wanna go back.
Mom drank pepsi too. That's all she drank. RIP moms.
nope, he definitely knows how good he had it back then
@@chubird4236 He will.
he does know how good he had it. Says so every time ^^
He's a millionaire and yet he said back then was the richest he's ever been.. so I think he knows.
@@The_Gallowglass He already knows.
"I was the richest I've ever been back then" damn bro got me tearing up
Friends, Family, and Fun :')
This video autoplayed when I was out of the room then came back and heard this last bit. I was like: Why do I watch so much asmongold? AH yep, that explains what kind of man he is. The dude is harsh, raw at times, but we all know where things come from
It's...I would have done so much different, like buy bitcoin.
Asmon was the female night elf all along
@@zogwort1522 This comment... I'm 💀bro!
Maybe the real WOW was the calories we gained along the way
No joke I quit the game at 240 ten years ago. I I'm jacked at 190 now!! 5 mile walks and 48 hour fasts!!
@@bradyshannon8452 Nice man congratulations. There are few feelings worse than being overweight. Glad to hear you are doing well
You’re stopping your gameplay to eat ? Rookie
underrated comment
i was never fat and I kinda played wow on and off since 2007, i was always in good shape, to this day. I never got how a game could totally f*ck you up physically and control your physique to that extent.
The measure of Asmons character, 'I was rich back then'.
Good comment.
I came looking for this when he said it. Says all you need to know. Disagree with him on things if you want but hes a good dude.
Truth, Asmongold is a good man-
many of us feel the same way and its sad. I dont know if its a testament of the current state of the world, or being young, ignorant and carefree, maybe both, but its grim.
Naive chatters think it's all about money. You are still you with a million bucks or not, if you can fathom it.
“I was rich back then” - That is wisdom right there.
When money didn't matter.
This is when Asmon is at his best, not the rage baiting. Just being a genuine dude.
12:13 anyone who hates this man needs to listen to this. Being rich is having friends and family around you. Wise words.
does not take away from criticisms of him
@@user_kH9bw3ns1 woah here comes a subhuman
@@user_kH9bw3ns1
What specific criticisms bother you?
@@missgoodnfilthy2243 I don’t like his bald head and freaky eyebrows
Fair
I love how he reminisces about his mum, you can tell how much joy it brings him to remember his childhood.
The clip where his friend gives him a painting of zach and his mom and Zach is almost in tears really got me.
"I was rich back then, I had so many friends, I had my mom. She took care of us and we were happy."
Instantly brought tears to my eyes. Im in my 40s and with my parents gone and also many friends this hit hard.
Damn, you got me
almost the same. 37 now. No parents, divorced. That phrase did a crit dmg.
Same bro. Ide trade everything to have those days back. I miss my moms.
@templarkid. I hope you're doing well during this rough time. Stay strong and sorry to hear about your loss and divorce ❤
I wish you a great day. Sorry about your losses ❤
@@philjackson1428 They're missing you too, I hope you're living well for them. ❤
12:48 my new found appreciation for asmon
12:20 Asmon makes me cry legit, wow
When he said “Are you willing to be poor again?.. I was rich back then, I was rich , I had so many friends, I had my mom, she took care of us and we were happy, I was.. I was the richest ive ever been back then..thats the way I see it , so yeah” it literally broke me. And then he ends the video right after.
if you played WOW when it came out, you might be a father of two teens by now or Unmarried
Or ded
Or a degenerate
19, 14, and 9. 2 divorces and probably a third some day.
Unmarried crew!
Uh, I was playing EQ when WoW came out and I'm a grandma now. Still gaming, I got my kids into gaming.
As a random russian guy, I can't even start to tell how nostalgia is haunting me. And many more people it seems.
It's so painful and so great to have a great childhood, guys.
You would be missing it forever when it ends
Sometimes in Summer, when its getting late and the sky turns pink, I feel like I am in 2005 again for a brief moment
@@apfelsaftyeah7623 Damn bro
I occasionally pull up vanilla wow OST for ambient while i game or do chores and it hits me like a truck sometimes, i have to sit back for a few minutes and reset myself >.

Asmond lights up when he talks about the old days : )
This is doubly sad for me, because I had a moment laying in bed yesterday wishing I could go back
@@The_Gallowglass Me too bro, me too.
@@The_Gallowglasssame
Unmarried, working in IB, two degrees, second career, and listening to asmon on the desk during Lunch. Bro I wish I could get hype about WoW again. I would never be able to put in the hours but god dang. classic wow was so good.
My mom is no longer with us, but she loved hearing me talk about WoW and the books she’d buy me. My dad never supported video games like that but he enjoyed the stories I’d tell him and the “wars” my RPPVP would have (we are both vets now, but my dad found the scale of World PVP and the tactics insanely cool)
Got a bit emotional at the end there when I heard you say you were the richest you'd ever been at that time. Understanding that monetary wealth isn't everything, you have that now, way more than you did back then, but you were still richer in other ways. So many similarities between me and my own group of friends. I still hang out with one or two of them every once in a while, but it will never be like it was. While you're living it, you have no idea it's the best time of your life, you take everything for granted. I'm almost 40 now... where did the time go?
The future holds good times too matey, theyre just going to be different. Just as long as you can still be happy and enjoy things. 👍
My uncle and I were having a conversation about how maybe we're not meant to live forever because we slowly just lose that joy we once had for life, and how the world just sort of moves on without you and you begin to not understand it anymore.
The only thing I can think of to keep life meaningful and joyful is to raise a family. I guess... to literally do what we're meant to do as living beings.
Asmon's mum lived the life she wanted and gave no f**ks. Respect. ❤
Respect?😂 for what? I would never let my child live in a filthy room for 20hrs a day in his own stench and cockroaches. I give my children time so they dont have to live such degenerate life. Just because he is the 0.001% and Lucky to make all this money basicly by destroying his own life without himself realising it.. To each his own i guess😂 what a way to give respect.
She gave up on life. Respect
@@MrMarwan48 Who asked you to write this paragraph?
@@MrMarwan48yet he's successful in life and people like you still come to these videos to comment in my eyes your more pathetic than him, and clearly she did something right by letting him be himself having a clean room etc Is all superficial at the end of the day as long as my kids are happy I wouldn't care tbh, obviously I'll push them to take care of themselves and keep a tidy space but once they're an adult they can do whatever they want.
Man, you triggered some weirdos here...
The nostalgia is real for early wow. Life was seriously good. We were super lucky to live through the 90's and 2000's.
Amen.
Saw a great video that explained how we as humans prefer the chase much more than the reward.
Wows the same way, when you get all the best gear you just kinda stand there in cities. I figure that's why I had so much time as a kid inspecting these gigs chads - they literally were NOT playing the game in iron forge.
Games like this are incredible for younger people with their whole lives ahead of them. You're constantly setting and checking off goals faster than you ever could in real life.
We thought it was fun because our personal lives had a level of mystery and potential that matched this brand new living-world-online game. Way more fun when you're not expected to be an autist about how your fishing recipes tie to a +2 endgame trinket. Absolutely zero fun at that point.
youre luckly is was born in 2010 i never new a time with outh the internet
Wasn't a WOW player back then but good old times indeed, life was so simple
Born 91 here. Growing up in the late 90s/early 2000's and attending high school from 2007-2010 was the best times guys, i agree.
"I was rich back then" thats unironically one for the history books, that is the wisdom that completely flies over the modern world
I am 44 - I started WoW in 2005. Stopped in 2018. But those first 5 years. Amazing.
You can’t go back though. Go live your life. Hold onto the memories.
I loved wow, but it did not hold me for nearly as long. I did get whatever the best rep in pvp was in vanilla. Warchief I think. Scarlet Crusade, Necrana. Then I came back during WOTLC and owned the scarlet crusade ah while multiboxing death knights. It was like hard drugs for me, a weekend of doing em and I am g2g for a long long time.
Only the first 5 were amazing but u played for 8 more ?
@@badabing2302 it became a less social game for me as I had kids and other guild members went their separate ways. I did a lot of solo grinding and farming which provided gaming satisfaction but always chasing the dragon so to speak with those first three.
@@Jongii1980That social grind dragon is real and can only be seen once per game... I have gone back to FFXI 5x and it's never the same as that first experience.
Yeah from release to the first kill of the Lich King was an amazing ride. It was like a roller coaster!
Didn’t expect to get all teary-eyed this morning. I’m the same age as you and grew up in Texas as well, and it’s like you’re describing my own experience of those times. Truly the best of times.
Back then even gamers still went out to play, bike ride, skateboard, wander around and pretend to be knights and samurai
Same
People on Twitter and Reddit "OMG ASMON LITERALLY HAS A.HITER'S BIRTHDAY ON A SCREEN IN A VIDEO SOMEONE MADE. NOT C CONFIRMED"
I can only imagine when the trolls and goblins realize AH bday is A Stoner Holiday 😂😂

No one on reddit said this but you.
Damn dude, that hit hard. I am 44 but I remember that period the same way and I would do anything to go back.
started wow as 42 year old im pretty shure i did over 200 characters on my accounts could be this guy but i got hair and are slim -
you're around my age, which means you likely started with UO or EQ- people will never know what it's like for someone in Nowhere, USA to suddenly be the only person (as far as he knows) to be connected to the whole f&*king world.
IRC, ICQ, Usenet...and everyone you know IRL is just "why are you so into that computer thing??"
Never thought I'd tear up to one of Zack's videos, but here I am... I hope Zack's mom is gaming out wherever she is. It sounds like she was the neighborhood mom ❤
It's crazy that we used to "bring our computers over" even though that meant a whole desktop setup, and that was just considered normal even though laptops also existed back then lmao
That's literally made me cry. I miss growing up in the '90s too. Being a kid back then was the shit. Going to blockbuster every Friday picking out the new release or a horror movie.
They've ruined Mat 😭
Yeah seriously. Games were so affordable cause I'd rent for 7 bucks, no life it and beat it.
Peaked in Hs?
@@austinayers2509 nah I'm doing just great. It's okay to have nostalgia. In fact if you ever get laid and end up having kids, then nostalgia somehow becomes even more incredible as you watch your kids grow up in a time unlike the time you grew up.
Every Friday?
Bruh. Flush.
My mom died last week at age 70. You are lucky to have such good memories of her, not all of us got to have such parents.
Keep your head up she might get better. Hoping for a full recovery

April 20th is the Austrian vegetarian painter's birthday
Edit: I come from a middle class family
And that's why those goofy boys did what they did at school that day
You look better as a hyena
🤣🤣👍
It's funny when people are shocked to find out the socialist who was a vegetarian and wanted to grow up to be an artist was on the Ieft
People "AH was on the right"
Really the guy who said he was a socialist? The guy who was a vegetarian? The guy who wanted to grow up to be an artist?
If AH was alive today he would busy doing dances on TikTok to defend USAID
It’s endings like this video why I stick around and keep watching. Zack’s realness while also trying to keep things not too serious, but we all feel you bro 😎
"I was rich back then, I had so many friends, I had my mom. She took care of us and we were happy."
Everyone else is quoting it despite it being the top comment and I felt left out. Give me internet points.
Np. Have them points.
12:50 Same man, same. My grandparents was still alive back than. TV still play my favorite cartoons. Food was cheap. Had friends man. Everyone was happy back than.
What made it all came down like this man. What......
Lunatics took over the asylum.
And they said "if we cant be happy then NO ONE CAN"
and thats why they gotta go.
Everyone is busy. I have to schedule time with my friends three weeks in advance, they have to check with the boss (wife/partner)
RiP to our grandmas. Im sure yours was awesome too.
Time
Just like you felt then today's youth feels as well.
What changed: you got older...more paranoid and more cringe. Happens with every generation.
I've always wanted to play wow for some reason but never got into it. I asked my friends who play it what version should I play
The answers we're:
"DONT, TRUST ME"
"PLEASE NO"
"Make love not warcraft"
And the best of all, "wow is the reason i got divorced"
You have wisest of friend, lol
man just listening to you, brings back a lot of memories of the olden gaming days, thank you for sharing
I love when Asmon tells stories about his Mom. I lost my mom in 2013 and the way he talks resonates with me.
Hearing you reminisce about the early WOW days in high school reminds me of the same.. man it was so great. Not a care in the world, just gaming and spending time with friends. Little did I know how special it was.
I can still remember the feeling of waking up early before work just so I could check my mail and my auctions. And I was 30 years old at the time in 2005. lol.
Dam gramps
And I was 30 yesterday actually. Kinda in this spot now lmao.
Eyyy you hit, or almost hit, the big half century. But you know what they say, 50 is the new 40.
@ yep I'm 50 now. I don't feel like it mentally but my body tells me different. 🙂
@ lol. nice. I had 2 little kids when I was 30. They're now 22 and 20. As long as you don't admit defeat, you don't really age mentally.
Seriously, I waited 20 hrs to finish a 3.5GB game download that time.
For real. Did they same with EQ2. First it would say 12hrs, but u knew it would be 20hrs.
And now we download 150gb games in 15 minutes, it's funny that i miss times when technology was old and inefficient
@@Kumire_921yeah lol, when I'm at my parents they get like 1mbps, while when I'm at my house I'm getting like 200mpbs and my WiFi is shit lol.
I waited 2 hours for a 600mb map pack, it was call of duty world at war. Map pack 4.
I still remember ripping the DVD for Final Fantasy: Advent Children. Started it before bed, and spent the whole next day at school hoping it would be done when I got home. (It was!)
I don't think you could even run a download that long nowadays without dropping connection and coming home to a 0% progress bar with an error message.
You have to have fast speeds now just to counteract how unreliable everything is.
Dam this hit right in the feels! I have so many happy memories with my dad building PCs together playing unreal tournament and halo. Downloading mods and having lan parties in the basement. But now I have the chance to create those same memories with my own children and honestly I could not think of a better thing to do to not only relive those happy moments but also pass them on
Starting a fresh character up to about lvl 40 is still one crazy good feeling. You still have the game music on and learning things.
I remember sleeping over at a friend's house for a week and we'd take turns playing each character on one account. I think I restarted a human mage at least 50 times up to lvl 25.
Mom was LIVIN. Thank you for sharing this Zack
5:28 they're wearing the same grey shirt.
That’s odd, my daughter played this for a couple years after graduating high school until one day in 2013 she said “dad, I’d like to go talk to the Air Force and Army Recruiters. She joined the Army as a Practical Nurse, completed her tour then immediately got a job paying $30 an hour here in San Antonio, TX. When she played WoW she was a healer so I guess that’s where she got the idea to be a nurse.
12:45
You know what man,that's the cool thing about this guy, he sees reality for what it is because it doesn't matter how much money you have in the world, you would always trade it for these sort of good times to come back
Real wealth is measured in Good company and good times
yeah i used to love asmon but recently hes been on some weirdo ego kick , and talking about politics, i hate it . i
Nostalgia hit pretty hard but i absolutely feel the same. Back then it was simpler and at the same time richer.
I have soooo many good memories from old MMOs such as Ragnarok Online or Perfect World.
Made lots of friends and we played together for several years even if we swapped games.

Watching Asmongold smile while talking about playing WOW with his friend is great.
A message from me bud, whoever that friend is, if you still smile thinking about the memories, that's a great friend. Go hang out with him again soon.
When I started playing video games there wasn't Blizzard.
Zack you’re so wise for recognizing the value of your childhood, you had a great Momma & God bless 💜
"I was the richest I've ever been."
Was not expecting to tear up on an Asmon vid :')
Same Bro... my pops was around then aswell. The times were good.. me and my pops would have so much music on limewire.. we would play full albums while i would play wow in the living room.. he would watch epsn... god damnit i miss that man.
Asmon reacting to WoW videos again is taking me back to better times.
Asmond telling stories about his mother and father and those good times he had makes me cry bro I swear it’s sad but I have those types of moments with my family bc we all play video games to an extent I’m 16 and I’m making the most out of those moments because I will remember all of it later in life and asmond is wholesome w video 💯
Hearing about Asmon childhood is actually crazy because my childhood was basically the exact same thing. Except I was my mom, and me, and my friends.
It was just me.
Asmons mom also playing the game is super cool. Having a shared interest to bond over and so on seems really nice.
This was one of the best videos I've seen in a while. Love those great reminiscent moments from all my fav content creators. 🤘
The lore and the stories are the best part!!!! Keep em coming!!!
Right in the feels... Good times.
We also had a Wow house, tank healer, and DPS, and in raids, people would wonder why we didn't talk to each other, as we didn't need PTT.
him talking about those days with his mom gaming and his younger years. u can actually see the glow of love in his face. man asmon bro. u had an awesome childhood. and your mom sound chill.. may her soul rest in peace!
10:25 went out doing what she loved ❤. What a G
I think this pretty much explains why he is the way he is.

Is Asmon's birthday April 20th? Thats the same as the Austrian Painter.
It's why we smoke every 4/20. It's to honor him
I'm gonna honor right now, cheers
AH the first vegan
Strange that they always tell you Uncle H got rid of certain books but they will never tell you what books he got rid of.
Because everyone would agree with him getting rid of these particular books
that isnt his birthday, hes stated it multiple times
@xzp it's funny how its stuck though.
0:42 I only recently noticed that my PC doesn't have a disk drive. Feels weird.
I'll never forget when we upgraded from a Pentium 1 to a Pentium 2. It still didn't have a graphics card, but it had a disc drive, a floppy drive, and a ZIP drive.
This was before there were any emulation laws so downloading ROMs was as simple and clean as launching Steam. No sketchy/wonky sites.
I had a giant box of ZIP discs packed with ROMs of the entire SNES library and felt like I was living in the year 2080.
I still have mine in my tower. It's not plugged up, but I can always swap a sata cable over if the time ever comes. It's probably still the same drive from my quad core Phenom II build. That thing has been through a Phenom II, i5 ivy bridge 3470, i7 devils canyon 4790k, Ryzen 3600, Ryzen 5900x, Radeon HD 4870, 2gb Radeon HD 6950, GTX 980, RTX 3060, and 4080 super. Installing windows 8 from a disk is probably the last time I actually used it. I was baffled the first time I cracked a game and was able to run it without inserting the disk. Times have changed so much since the early 2000's.
ROM laws?
@@yoyoshoujo I remember when upgraded my ColecoVision to NES.
I’d give anything to go back to 2013 playing 360 with my best friends, haven’t heard from a lot of those people since then.. those were the best days of my life, and I’m not even that old yet
Y'know. I'm not a huge fan of Asmon - Not a hater, but I wouldn't die on a hill for him or anything...
However, when I see him reminisce about his life before - back when he first started playing WoW, when his mom was alive, when he was surrounded by his friends and people who loved him, it feels my heart in ways.
I get that nostalgia lump in my throat. I think back to my good ol' days playing Halo 3 with my friends, diving into my first MMO, waiting in line out in the cold to get the Xbox 360 on launch day. Life was just different then. I miss it. I want to go back. I want to go back and play Oblivion, Halo, and all my old favorites for the first time again.
But I'm here now, and I'll never get those days back. I at least take solace that I can visit them in my dreams.
His mom was the night elf female all along.😊
You had a mom that played video games with you? Lucky bastard, too bad mine expired early.
Sorry to hear that, I hope you find your people soon. Good luck! ❤
Your mom expired? You make her sound like she was in the fridge
Man, the last minute of this video hits like a Train...
Bro why does a video like this come out every year with a different style where we take a crazy leap down memory lane..
Im 27 but god damn i wish was 10 again jumping into WoW and getting that indescribable epic and excited feeling.
*DAMN I WANNA GO BACK*
Eyy this video hits hard, me and my brother grew up playing Xbox (starting with Halo).
But then one of our friends told us to try world of warcraft, we were 11 and 12 back then so we had no fkn idea what we were doing in WoW.
However, we didn't have a pc at all at the time that was capable of running wow, so me and my brother started selling newspapers in our neighborhood. We worked hard and we finally got the pc we needed.
Our mom was kind enough to give us money for the game and gave us money for a subscription too.
We started up the game and it was so cool starting the game for the first time!
The cinematic when u open up the game for the first time was so cool, the music was amazing, me and my brother was probably sitting there almost an hour trying to figure out what kind of character we were gonna create.
I still remember my first character, a Tauren Warrior (I still have it to this day), it felt like a living world to run around in, killing those plainstriders and boars, collecting gold and trying to figure out quests (we also got a tip from players in-game to use thotbot).
Me and my brother had this eggtimer next to the computer, so we took 1hour turns. With rules and stuff, for example like if we joined a dungeon we let eachother finish the dungeon even if the time ran out on the eggtimer.
World of Warcraft have given me so many good memories, shard so many fun times with friends and my brother playing the game, and we still talk about those days even now 20years later.
All of us are now grown up, some even have families and different lives.
But we always seem to return to those days, talking about how good they were and how fun we had playing WoW.
Now those days are just memories, but they are good memories that will stay with me forever.
Even though I don't like what WoW has become now, or games overall.
The time I had in WoW will always be remembered.
Would you be poor again? "I was rich back then, the richest I ever been."
1:25 so true though lol
2:05 "Tiny people, like gnomes, dwarves and Tyler1" Gottim!
Came for the laugh, stayed for the feels, and left with tears in my eyes. I have a new appreciation for you asmonking 😢. You can see the light return in his eyes when he talks about his mom. I'm not crying YOURE CRYING
I'm not, or wasn't fat... For most of my life standing at 5'11", I couldn't get over the 185 lb mark, and that was at a time I was drinking an 18 pack a day. Without I would be closer to 175 lbs. No matter what and how much I ate, I couldn't gain or lose more than 10 lbs... and I did try. I had a fast metabolism. I used to be able to down a whole large pizza, and nothing. Wasn't until I quit smoking, a 22 year long bad habit, just b4 I turned 40... the year or so after I suddenly gained 35-40 lbs within a few month period. Now my belly is bigger than my chest for the first time in my life (dad bod ftw), and now stand 5'11" at 230 lbs, 8 years later. Now, I feel fat. Partly also because I stopped working out long ago, so most of that muscle weight was replaced with fat. Being disabled doesn't help, as for the last 14 years I am only about 1% as active as I was. People think they were going out of their minds when the lockdown hit... as a workaholic, that enjoyed 50-60 hr work weeks, who since 2010 am only able to get up and around for food and hygiene purposes, regularly. I do get to go to the store once or twice a month, and medical procedures twice a year. So there's that to look forward to. I do eat less, and don't hardly ever drink anymore, but I don't move.
10:00 Smoking is the worst mistake you can ever make. Let me put this into perspective for anyone who doesn't know.... I am an addict. Smoking and vaping (vaping mostly now, which is almost worse than cigs) and when I was 17, I became addicted to hero-ine. So did mamy of my friends. We grew up bad. Anyways, I have been clean now for over a decade. Many of my friends who did it are also many years clean now. The ONE thing I and all my friends have been unable to quit... is fcking nicotine. Hard dr*gs are easier to quit than nicotine. It's literally the worst choice could ever make, to pick up a smoking/vaping habit.
100% agree. I quit alcohol no problem. I quit opioids no problem. Nicotine is borderline impossible.
I did at least switch to pouches so I'm not killing my lungs, but it kills my wallet.
When I started, Zyn was like $2 per can. After COVID it jumped to $10 per can. My $60 per month habit became a $300 per month habit even though my consumption didn't increase at all.
Heroin not heroine how come people who use heroin can't even spell it? Didn't know what zyn was until I googled it and that's disgusting.
@@minners71 It's not as disgusting as dip. It's basically dip without tobacco, so you can swallow it and not have to walk around spitting like a camel.
@minners71 It really doesn't matter how it's spelled, that's not what's important. I spelled it that way and added the hyphen so that YT wouldn't take down my comment for talking about hard dr*gs.
Edit - Also, I don't use it anymore. Like I said, I've been clean a long while now.
@yoyoshoujo damn, that's insane! I've never heard of zyn, I guess I'll have to look that up. I hardly smoke cigs anymore, but I still vape and it's awful. I honestly wish I had never begun vaping. My best friend says her vape is like a binky is for a toddler - it ALWAYS has to be in the hand. I'm not quite that bad lol but vape is definitely more addictive than cigs ever were for me. But, they are both nicotine poison and both are horrible for the lungs. I do hope to quit. I hope you can achieve that too, if that's your goal! :)
A lot of the new viewers don’t realize that Asmon was once a beacon for the WoW community.
i never expected to be teary in an asmongold video
1:44 BRUH WTF?? That Sh*t scared me! 😂😂😂😂

Heres to ZACK'S MOM
Yes! I grew up having mudball wars (with rocks embedded) bottle rocket launching at each other from opposite sides of the creek. Turned hair spray bottles into flamethrowers. The classics. Great times.
There was a nature preserve behind my neighborhood with a small pond. My friends and I used to have what we called Cattail Wars. We’d pull cattails up from their stalk and use them as javelins. We’d also use the tops as hand grenades. If you give the cattail top a small twist it arms it so that when you throw it at someone it explodes.
This turned into a really emotional video! Love to you and your moms and your dad.
2:06 'Until now you've only seen tiny people like Dwarves Elves and Tyler1' I burst out laughing! 😂👌
Love how Asmon can turn every criticism into a wholesome farming content
This would have been Asmon if he kept playing WOW everyday.
I wonder if Mcconnell has turned into this?
This man has made me get Nostalgia for a childhood that wasn't even mine. 😢
Dude that comment at the end made me tear up.
Thank you for your content Asmond.
I can't wait to see the tribute video you do for your mom someday
12:48 wholesome asmogold moment
