Hear the whole thing out before commenting!
Rebuttals:
"Video games make money" - so does the pr_n industry and drug cartels.
"Video games make me happy, it's a hobby" - drugs also make people happy, and they do it as a hobby. Some happiness producing things are better than others, make a card for your parents and see how much happier that makes you.
"I bond with friends" - go and plan a community benefitting event or just a together project, it would be so awesome and you'll have a lifetime of memories to remember! You'll have 100% more teamwork too.
"Satisfaction overweighs frustration" - That's because you get a false sense of accomplishment (when in reality you made nothing in the tangible world).

“You’ll be Batman, I’ll be Spider-Man”
That one hurt
True
I retrace from supporting him after that,he doesn't know shit,like im working out and i agree with that,but gaming like 2 hours in 2 days its one more enjoyable ,two i like it since i do more stuff
Both orphans
Until Marvel vs. DC comes out, this is stupid lol
What if I told you that I can workout,play games,study and have a balanced social life? You just have to manage your time right :)
That's it.
+MrOoJoelOo I am passionate about video games from very young, I'm 23 and I m a Student in video games, I spend all
my day doing free project for the school, create 3D asset, character etc ... yes it's takes alot of time.
BUT, I also do exercise since the age of 15 years.
now each after noon, I took 1 hour to 2 hours a day to do exercice,
I managed to acquire a physique which I am proud and I also do some street workout, everyday. i do muscle up, chin up one arm, planche. the evening I spend 3 hours just for playing video games (sometimes 1 hour during a day). I managed to start my time as I wanted, and am proud and happy with that, my dream is to become great artist in the video game industrie and a perfect game art developper, then no ...its clearly not impossible to do a bunch of things if you want ;)
+ThugTruth sorry bad english :S
OK! im addicted to ;), but also addicted to do something with my life. and yes, passionate = addict most of the time ;)
You're not allowed to have fun!!
It's all about moderation. I have learned to play video games only when they don't impede my real life accomplishments. It's perfectly fine to have hobbies as long as you respect your responsibilities
Video games aren't really a hobby, they're leisure activities. But as you said yes, they are fine in moderation
its kinda hard to take you seriously when you flexing on me constantly
liked because i have been in such situation. Have a nice day.
@@daenielgb I've watched this video a while ago back when I was playing League of Legends. When he said "When you close the game, what do you have" it touched me and those words sticked to me even though at that time I was not strong enough to quit
Nah he is just showing how good life can be without video games
Yeah. Especially when he does like a million pull-ups and push-ups in one video for absolutely no reason at all.
@@Crazhorrorfan13 he wants you to see how good life can be when you actually improve your "real life character"
some guy thought of the game was like oh let's play now you'll be batman I'll be spiderman lmao
Wtf he's gay I love spiderman and video games this guy just doesn't like things
Being fit and playing video-games are not mutually exclusive. It's not one or the other. You can do both.
you can read books....go to classes.improve skills and become successful.like start your own business
I know right I play Madden and im also on a football team, you can do both its just about not doing to much of 1 thing
Matt Ice I read an article 12 years ago that some of the best surgeons developed their eye & hand coordination from playing video games. The military uses video games to do the same. This guy don't know what he's talking aboutm
MoorsAreIsraelites I meant about.
but it's still a waste of time
Video games are not meant for real life situations. They meant to have fun because part of life should be having fun
Yeah and of course you'll frustrated when you lose to many times you just need a break from it
My dream was to destroy my humanity and I did it by playing video games
You're crazy.
Destroying humanity = Good
I REJECTED MY HUMANITY JOJO

“Today’s topic is about video *hold on let me do a one arm pull-up* games.”
He can’t even tell me what a soul is without doing a pull up
I enjoy working out , jiu Jitsu, and boxing but that doesn’t mean I’ve given up on tv, movies or video games. I also read.
Edit: I also devote 20-60 minutes a day to learning Swahili 😀
reading is good
Written Magic thank you 😊
I used to do jiu jitsu it was a great experience
Written Magic why’d you stop?
Do you think he stop in boxing
It hits hard after you realise it's all true and you've been wasting your time achieving something which it's not even real
And this happens when you think you could've done more with your life rather than getting mad at some video games win/loss
The sooner you reach to this conclusion the better your life will get
hear this from a 23 yo hardcore gamer guys.
By the same logic, all sports are useless even when they provide entertainment for other people. Excelling in football, tennis, golf, all useless, and if it's not physical games then what about chess or scrabble, all useless.
Every day E-sports is becoming more and more popular. People that play video games as a profession are celebrities and make real piles of gold for themselves like any other athlete. In the future, this will only get more so.
Yes, don't get hooked on video games and addicted to them, but to say that games are useless full stop, you must say that sports is useless.
But from sports you can see and feel physical results. I play video games on weekends but I only feel like a useless piece of shit after playing games for over 2 hours
+MrNoobophile i agree with the there not useless argument but you know as well as I do he was not implying sports are useless. Its a matter of perspective to some people sports are useless to others not so much however they do keep you healthy unlike video games, even the wii's are pretty useless at keeping people fit
+MrNoobophile Oh, but come on, yes I agree that E-Sports is becoming more popular, but maybe you understand that you will never (for 99.99%) be that e- sports pro-gamer because they are just playing computer games for 18-20 hours per day, they haven't seen sun for a days and if you do, you can agree me, that that isn't normal at all. Maybe they are celebrities for a gamers world, but in the real world there are not only gamers. Thats my opinion, so i think you can do something else.
+MrNoobophile That is why I mentioned games like chess. You can still stay fit but not have sport as your main focus and follow a "sport" that uses more of your mind rather than your body.
In fact, if you keep a general fitness and don't over exert yourself, you are more likely to live longer and be healthier than most professional athletes that push their body to it's limits.
Yes, there are cultural things that can change in regards to e-sports. Don't get addicted to it, make it more social by going to an internet cafe, and you can even take a lap top outside and play in the park like people who play chess do. My issue is not with certain aspects of the culture but with dismissing gaming all together as a legitimate pass time, hobby or more and more every day, a profession.
+Arnis (Burkaans11) I guarantee you that almost every pro gamer plays the game a lot less than 12 hours a day
I'm here because of beasty

Coming home and playing video games with my friends after school is a waste of time
“Time you enjoy wasting,was not wasted”

I like you for that comment
Jordan there is no such thing as a "more productive hobby"
@Jordan
M8
It's for entertainment
If I don't find basketball fun but I do find videogames fun
Sure playing basketball would be more productive
But I wouldn't really _enjoy_ it
Which means it can't be my hobby
@coley M oh well
What if it’s heroin?
So if u go home after a hard day of workouts and watch a film, is that a waste of time because what happens in that film isn't real?
Legit master 123
Some movies are based real life events or books . So your learning something but not all of it is correct
@@bilalhussain6417 so are many games
Well, here's the thing. I "workout" to an app that keeps track of my workout time and intervals I set up so that the workout pretty much ends up lasting the same amount of time (2-3 hours). As of today, I will create another "Routine" on the app to limit my gaming (just like the workout). The problem with "gaming" is Lonnnnng sessions. If you stick to 1 hour or 2 hours, then I think you'll be ok (though you won't be as 'good' of course cause time in the game makes you 'good'). It's the hours on end gaming that destroys you and your life. 4 hours a week is my max or I go off the rails mentally/physically.
SHort answer yes.
yes
Any one hear from beasty??🤔
yes

Yea
MR MED1C yep

What makes life worth living is meaningful relationships and interactions with other people. But having some time for yourself is also important. The problem arises when you begin prioritizing video games over other more important parts of life, which I've had a lot of problems with myself. I can certainly get hooked on tv-shows, but I still feel like I wanna get out and do something after a while. Gaming, at least for me, makes nothing else seem fun or worthwhile doing.
If you have healthy gaming habits, then there's nothing wrong with it. But I suspect a lot of people are in denial, as i was for years and years.
hmm yea thats, yea thats why we here in the first place.. im communicating with you right now lol, the people that amke video games, make them for others and maybe themselves i guess, but its.. if you had the opion of doing excatly what you wanted.. www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/new/ even if.. isolated would you take it? (if someone is isolated 24/7 but they survive.. they a strong ass person i'd say..) you know obvously if robots do/did take over mostly people would spend more quality with people.. even as a introvert i'd say that. life isnt.. how many people game 24/7 they should be called up for documentaries.. they probabbly interesting people on some level, give them some.. hmm regocnizing one can say.. like eyy why you game so much?'' let them speak! i've never met anayone who gamed like 10+ hours a day.. even if someone did.. who they bothering.. its there life.. even yhough it'd probably be.. but how many people like that have most people even met/spoke too? what gives people right to judge..? i mean, right to die aint legal.. it probably should be IMO ruclips.net/video/pCFY4fKmUqQ/видео.html, its not cause it threatens the elites or something?
I absolutely agree a healthy video game habit is all u need
Like if u had a pretty successful day u get home ur 20 in college and u have nothing to do all your friends r doing what they wanna do and you want some alone time what’s wrong with playing an hour or two of videos games
I’d say 3 hours should be the max amount of time your playing a day especially if your still trying to figure life out
When it comes to younger kids I don’t blame them if they play 10 hours a day
Kids don’t come outside these days as they use to I grew up where everyone was outside
Kids now stay inside all day
So I don’t blame dem for playing video games
But again Dey could stop playing and go outside but then what then
Bold of you to assume im wasting my life having fun
When you get older you understand
One of the best comments I've seen yet
“Having fun” is the worst criteria you could use to evaluate worth of something. Most people spend their time on something “fun” most of their life already because everybody loves themselves. As someone who has played a lot of games I firmly believe games are a waste of time and life. But that doesn’t mean that the guy in the video isn’t a pretentious poser.
StopFear I have to agree with you
Amazing how many people want to stop others from doing something they enjoy even though it's. A: none of their fucking business. And B: doesn't bother or harm anyone.
Video games are a leisure.
Leisure (in moderation) is healthy.
There, sorted.
yes
Maybe
But it's the only leisure you can get addicted to. Can you get addicted to drawing? or swimming? If you get addicted to video games you can kiss your life goodbye
You can get addicted to any leisure activity. Again, moderation is a thing.
Keksimus Maximus Find me someone who is addicted to reading. Also just because you CAN get addicted doesn't mean it's as easy to do so. You can easily get addicted to video games but it's pretty hard to get addicted to swimming or drawing. Smoking weed is a leisure activity that probably wouldn't hurt if you do it like, once a month or something but it is still considered bad even though moderation is technically possible
I disagree with your statement
He is just stating a miracle
ITS CALLED A MIRACLE BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN
Watching this while playing runescape lol
LMAO
Lol
Dont die lol xd hmmhaha bruh ree habruh
Or you know like any person in the comments says,
YOU CAN HAVE BOTH
Video games aren't meant to improve the quality of life, it's a leisure activity. Just as much as cinema or visiting an art gallery in your spare time, it's purely entertainment and as for the creators of all that material - it's a way to express their ideas, imagination and their art to the world, just as much as you express yourself through your material on RUclips
Subject 27 In my eyes. I see video games as a Leisure Activity. I don't see it as a "Hobby". With Hobbies you gain something in reality, video games not so much.
You do gain something from gaming :D
VOPT13 The only thing I gained from Gaming is Weight.
Subject 27 And yet studying film and creating art is far more beneficial to you than video games.
Abhisekh Chatterjee Its not, if you're not going to have any use for it. I dont think you have understood the premise.
Please stop flexing, logic = out the window. Video games are just for fun "ENTERTAINMENT" as some would call many Professional athletes play video games in their spare time when they aren't practicing or on the field or court
J BOY D we’re talking about people that make video games their life
Aka : youtubers that chiise their path and dont care about dat
@@vlahess1481 That would be people who make that their career, but why even talk about people addicted to games? it's literally the same thing as being addicted to chess and not making it your career so you can show your skills that you gained instead of wasting time and playing it with only your friends or online.
What's so special about games?
There's nothing wrong with playing your favourite game once in while though.
That’s @shahnawaz True and there is nothing wrong with opinions yet people just dislike the video.
You have to admit he made a lot of good points here. Playing video games makes you feel like you've achieved something but it's all an illusion. Escapism can turn into an addiction and nothing good ever comes from that.
N L U watch TV, read books, watch movies, watch RUclips VIDEOS, or listen to music, all are wastes of time
@@chilldoc9638 Triggered much?
N L Na, u just can't accept that with his logic everything is a waste of time unless it earns money for you or helps u survive
@@chilldoc9638 LOL! Whatever you say baby.
@@chilldoc9638 I agree with you. It is unhealthy to have a game addiction but yet again, we should be able to do whatever we want without being judged

Playing video games is like reading a book, its just another way of telling a story, some tell a great story like Mass Effect, therefore, game make impact on people.
But if you play a lot of video games then you cant live your life, but the same goes with books, hobbies, jobs, and fitness. Everything has to be balance, check how "nerds" (smart kids).. they spent their childhoods studying, not having social life with people.. they are smart but they dont have anyone to share their knowledge..
Games doesnt kill people, people addition kill themselves.
Sure. Video games aren’t real... but what is are the friends and memories we make from them. Video games shaped my childhood and I still love playing them, even though I may not have as much time as I get older. This video did not change my opinion whatsoever. I love video games.
Edit: Oh and in the description, he compares video games to drugs. Fucking drugs.
AJ yeah I did, just some I made through games, most through school and activities.
I agree with you
Yeah people piss me off when they compare games to drugs. Since when has a video game broken down someone's body and slowly or quickly killed them? Do video games give you lung cancer? Is there nicotine in my controller? Will Smash Bros. destroy my liver?
Dame right
Sadly, hes right, video games work like drugs. They activate the same dopamine releasing stuff drugs do. I've been through both addiction and I can say its the same. I am able to let go of both too so I can say as long as it is affecting your life in a bad way, then let it go.
this man really compared drugs to video games
Are you stupid? Dopamine is released when you play video games.
@@fightermma and dopamine is a drug? lmao you gotta be kidding.
Sorry but your argument holds no water. Your logic can apply to anything that gives someone entertainment. TV, Movies, books and so on.
Except it's completely different.
+Time Flies By So Fast TV and movies I can agree on, but not books
+catacombist reading , no matter what topic , enriches your imagination , your language , your reading comprehension(which you'll use in your studies eventually) and even writing . so no it doesn't apply to books .
Eran Zecharia Reading is a thing in games dude. If gaming doesn't enrich your imagination with games like Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Pokemon, Zelda, last Of Us, Mass Effect then god knows what will.
+Time Flies By So Fast Yes, of course you read , you read everywhere . however you cannot compare the amount of words you read while reading a book and the amount of words you read while playing video games . moreover , books force you to imagine the characters and literally every word. while video games show you the images/pictures which barely develops your imagination, it might develop but not as much as books.
Sometimes life is not about achieving everything, sometimes it's about having fun for some people that is playing video games.

video games = escape from reality
Exactly, I wouldn't say video games are a waste of time, I've made many friends through gaming, and I live a healthy life, games helped me achieve a lot in life friends, fun memories, even a high paying job.
What is reality?
reading books, watching movies, playing games, playing with your kids = escape from reality.
doesn't mean those things aren't real or make you feel real emotions etc so stop saying stupid shit on the internet

+TheSilverazo he could have worded it better haha. I agree with him and yet still game, just need to find the balance again
That's the reason there are role play games bro 😑
RUclips is about gaming . U are not going to change the internet.
Also we know that video games aren’t real.
Anyone could argue working out to the extent you do is a waste of time and wasting your life. The human body doesn't need to be ripped and muscular. We function perfectly fine with a moderately active normal lifestyle. One could argue the time you spend working out could be spent hanging out with friends, doing charity work, or getting a better education. One could argue time worrying constantly about your physical strength you could worry about helping others. See? It goes both ways. Everyone should do what makes them happy and relieves stress. For me, that is gaming, cars, AND exercise. A good balance of the three mixed into my daily life is what works for me. If you don't like it, I couldn't care less because it works for me.
+MercilessHobo couldn't agree more, amen.
Respect bro
Actually, some muscle groups are very good to develop. Back muscles and abdomenal muscles, shoulder muscles. Just go work out at your level. I do it for the looks and my self confidence.
Rihards Petruņins In the modern world there is absolutely no benefit to have a huge back, abdomen, or shoulders for survival or even success. Sure thousands or even hundreds of years ago it would have been beneficial, but not today. We build muscle through daily activities, our bodies naturally adjust to exactly how much strength they need to easily get through every day. But you repeated my entire point. Do what makes you happy and stop judging others for doing what makes them happy. You enjoying exercise makes you no better than any other human. It just means you have a hobby, like everyone else.
Charles Why would it matter?
I play games because they make me happy. it's an activity that I enjoy. Hence it is not a waste of time.
Video games are practically drugs.
Melvin Koyuncu then life is a drug.
I'm addicted to games.
He Is Risen everything can be addictive
Big bad game boogie man gonna getcha check the under tonight lol.
u know ur a hardcore gamer if u take this video personal and try to defend yourself...
My friend works out and loves video games, so wtf
I think your point was that excess gaming is bad!?
I agree and disagree. Their are better, more important things to do than play video games, but damn, sometimes you need a break from reality. Life is hard and can really suck, so what's so wrong about an hour or two of downtime every once in a while.
Nothings wrong with that. Then you have the “gamers” who put gaming ahead of everything in life
Then a particular games reminds you of life and reality comes back
Truth hurts, as we can see in the like / dislike ratio.
That's sad
What do you mean this is the truth? He's basically saying anything that isn't real is a waste of time like wtf. So why not say movies, music, and books are also waste of time? This is just so dumb. 🤣
Dislikes are not here because of a truth, they are here because his arguments are pure shit.

you're right I'm going to stop playing video games now!

+BSD Attacks You obviously haven't read the comments on this video. Some did. Many did.
Don't get to aggressive he's just joking.
Considering he's right for me.. I'll say it. "You are right I'm going to stop playing video games now!" This message may not apply to everyone... but it specifically applies to me. I want to be more productive.
u could just do both if u want to. like me i literally did both.
such as playing video games and doing my workout during my workout days. just try to set your own everyday routine.
You're questionning video games and everything that is visual in its representation.
What I get from what you're saying is that unless it benefits you or someone else, then it's useless.
Would you apply that to a musical instrument? I only play by myself and I do not use my music to help out the world. Heck, I don't even make my own music. I only play "someone else's musical interpretation". It does not benefit me and it wastes my time because the skills that I develop do not mean anything practically.
+Feras Boulala You can use music to heal people's hearts. Music is a universal language, and every song carries a whole lot of teaching in it, it can even be revelational to some.
+Fortress Something that many games offer as a catalyst for that to a greater degree. Otherwise there wouldn't be damn symphonies dedicated to music influential enough as any other source for it.
bioshock infinite is one of the most beautiful games I've ever played. I consider it to be a master piece. Is not all about shooting and building things fortress. Educate yourselves on the subject before you speak.
+Feras Boulala Maybe believing in god and going to church is useless.. by his own logic.
as long as you aint playing it for several hours a day and u still get ur work/assignments/jobs done effectively it aint bad.
Facts
yeah, why have fun while you're alive?
I workout and play videogames also. Im not as strong as you but i can do a few one arm pushups so im not totally unfit. Video games are a hobby and like hobbies we do it for amusement. Video games are something people cannot understand. Under Circumstances, they can make you smarter. I know most people wont get this and will rage at me. Video games offer us a safe place to explore morals, ideas and consequences. There a place where we can ask these questions without feeling too wierd. These questions aren't meaningless. And its pretty much a new competing industry with championships and stuff. So why is it worse than watching football?
Though the main point of your video is not that they are bad but people get too obsessed with them and miss other points in life. Which is correct in my point of view people get too hooked up and miss other important things, they take games so seriously that they forget about their real life
I can't believe this is coming from you. You've based your whole life on the delusions of religion. I barely play games anymore but even if I were to stop completely, it certainly wouldn't be because of these reasons. These are baseless arguments that hold very little relevance to the topic. Open a philosophical book for once. Life's not black and white and there certainly aren't no fixed rules on how to live your life. Moderation is key.
Ur a nasty athiest leave pls
+Xtreme Games What is it that you can't believe? That a fitness advocate would promote supplementing the illusory and temporary rewards of video game entertainment with the development of habits that promote lifelong happiness and health? I am not sure why you are surprised, but I trust that you are sincere.
You suggest that Paul 'open a philosophical book', but it is really difficult to see how you are upholding a philosophical standard yourself when you don't specify any aspect in particular of the video's advice that you disagree with. Rather you vaguely attack Paul's religious beliefs, which have nothing to do with whether or not his advice is sound, and you blanket disagree with the video's content--which frees you from the burden of actually claiming anything consequential; not very mature or philosophical.
But as your reader, and fellow audience member of the channel, I think I finally picked up on your deeper meaning. You are trying to raise awareness of that fact that, statistically, a fair portion of youtubers will have something negative and poorly thought out to say about the views of anyone who is genuinely trying to improve the lives of others. Very subtle and well done. I too agree that comments should get much classier than the template you have graciously provided for our educational benefit. Great example man, keep it up.
Yes, because everyone needs to think like you? How about there are people with different opinions then you. Is that so hard to live with?
+Doge the Booty Hunter what? I'm defending fortress.
+deathpresent101 srry sir
All people in the comments: The point of view is for the one person OBSESSED with video games. The person who’s only achievements are video games, and only meaningful interactions are through games.
IMO
Yeah its very click bait he really was using the obsessed gamer he should've titled the video something that talks about game addiction
I understand this guys point, but that doesn't mean I'm going to throw my ps4 out the window or something, I'm still going to play but not every day for like 8 hrs. Do productive things along with playing videogames, and u will be fine. Video games aren't a waste of life, they just show a effect on people if u play them 24/7
He's trying to save video game addiction is unhealthy but he comes across as a complete douchebag
It's called entertainment it doesn't have to be 100% productive. So basically fictional movies are a waste of time too because it's all a figment of the imagination.
Master Monkey or watching tv
Only novels are a figment of the imagination, and yes tv is a waste of time
Master Monkey not really the bible is the best book i know. Its a bout the truth and work of god.
khaled yasser novel is actually good use your brain more than. Tv lol
Jeez, no need to be so rude. Using that logic, video games are just a beneficial. Everything you mentioned is psychological, and video games can have psychological benefits as well. I don't care what you say, I know from personal experience.

Im happy im not fit but who gives a shit i can work out whenever i want i can start today maybe another day but id rather study and try to become smart instead of being fit. I dont need to be jealous of someone when i got a happy life to live forward to and people calling us videogamers nobodies is pretty bull because we are congratulated by our friends for most acheivments maybe laughed at for the fails but if people are noticing the things those fat people u are talking about are doing i dont think there nobodies I think they are people who just wanna have fun😉think about what u gonna say about videogamers before u spit it out
I fail to see how video games waste life. You're sitting here dedicating a huge amount of your life to exercising and eating right -- what's the only thing you gain out of that? Muscle? Bragging rights? How are those tangible objects worth anything in the real world? Correct me if I'm wrong but seriously I don't see how your arguement is valid when you spend as much time exercising as I do on a game a day (I probably spend less time on games lol)
+Cherish - F/A Your logic is at the very least faulty.The thing you gain out of working out regularly and eating clean is health and just feeling better overall.Movement is medicine,man.
Depending on your job,you'll be able to do things a lot better than you would if you wouldn't exercise at all.Your posture will be better,you'll have more energy,no back pains and keeping a routine like that will prevent you from being weak when you're older.
+Kriss Kringle No matter how much you work out, you're still going to die.
+Cherish - F/A Video games are a waste of life because you can be doing much better things in that same amount of time. Ignoring all the medical disadvantages you get from monitors, sitting incorrectly and RSI. You get nothing out of it. Working out doesn't addict you as much as games plus its healthy. He works out a lot because it's his job.
That is true,but there's a difference between dying of old age and dying of sickness.Sometimes you'll get sick even if you lead a healthy life,but I'll take exercising instead of no exercising and feeling sluggish every day.
I see a lot of old people on the streets with obesity and hunched backs,which may be because of some gland issues or being born with scoliosis,but it can also be from lack of exercise,which would prevent these things.
I'm not against gaming,but you can't just play for 6-8 hours every day without exercising at all.You would be setting yourself for health issues by the time you're 40.
+Cherish - F/A Exercise and eating right translates into health and a longer life. You get more time with your kids, your wife, or in general the people you care about. You are more mobile, you are less prone to injury, your get sick less often, you aren't prone to develop physical conditions like heart disease or cancer.
Personally I like video games and think you can find a balance, but to say that video games are just as valuable as exercise is nonsense. Ask yourself this, do the benefits I get from playing video games outweigh the benefits of a healthy life? Could I portion my time better to include a hobby of gaming and a lifestyle of health?
“No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.” - Socrates
Ngl I've been both an athlete and a gamer and honestly I'm happier video gaming
Man, this hit pretty close to what I've been experiencing. At 2:16 he uses the example of how people use video games to relax, but you play something like Street Fighter and something that's continually frustrating keeps happening, making you even more frustrated until you finally win or achieve something in the game.
I play a lot of Smite, and I was a content creator for Gears of War, and both of them, like a lot of multiplayer games and most modern games, cause me to be more frustrated. My blood pressure rises, I'm more susceptible to anger, and if I play close to when I need to go to bed, it takes me longer to fall asleep. I combine this with social media, and I notice how often I find myself losing my temper and see everyone else lashing anger out at others. And yet, I do find myself wanting to play a video game to calm down.
It reminds me of people that are addicted to smoking. A lot of them will say that smoking calms them down. If you look at anything in terms of their health, heart rate, effects on mental health, etc., smoking is definitely NOT calming people down.
And like what he mentions with his friend, I feel myself seeing video games more like a facade. When the screen turns off, what am I? Most of the comments I see revolve around people saying that games are just supposed to be fun, they're an escape from reality, or just putting out the usual, thoughtless meme comment. However, at this point, I'm finding with every video game I play I'm asking myself why I'm playing it, and what that's doing to improve my life. Almost like a pessimistic point of, "Why bother playing this game? Why bother playing that game? What's the point of this?"
MOBAs, Battle Royales, strategy games, open-world RPGs, looter shooters, etc. - at one point or another, it just involves doing the same laundry lists of tasks I've been doing in video games for the last 25 years, and there just seems to be a vast amount of boredom and pointlessness with video games as a whole right now. For the last 15 years, I've pursued a college career, and then a working career in game design, game creation, Twitch streaming, RUclips gaming. This has been my essence for a good portion of my life, and in the last 2 - 3 years or so, I've noticed that it's not even exciting me anymore unless I force or feign excitement.
This video hit the nail on the head for what I'm labeling as a craving for authenticity. It's not enough for someone like me to have a lousy job, bad health, so on and blanket all of my problems with video games. It's not enough to experience adventures second hand through others on social media and made-up worlds. I appreciate this video, Fortress. I'll keep an eye on more content that you make as I try to figure out how I want to live my life.
I know I wrote a ton here, but screw it. I just wanted to say it somewhere.
DAMM is this a youtube comment or a essay
those games are meant to be played competitive not for relaxation. but if those games are toxic for you I do recommend staying as far away from them as possible, play a relaxing game like Ori instead it's nice and easy and has a fun story
and who cares if it's fake it's still a lot of fun
@@jesse3391 So a game like Ori (or at least I played Ori and the Blind Forest) was NOT relaxing for me. I had a death counter on and I was at 1,100 deaths by the time I finished lol. Just saying.
When it comes to Smite and Gears of War, they do make me toxic. However, I'm having a hard time replacing those games with something that I have as much fun with when things aren't toxic. This lack of finding a game to play then leads to a conversation of self-awareness on fulfillment. Am I progressing my life for the better by sitting here playing games? Am I making this worth my time? Is there something better I should be doing?
And then that is where the point of, "who cares if it's fake when it's fun" falls apart. It's the concept of wasted potential in my life. Instead of finding something to help me get healthier, learn a new trait, start a new business, raise money for charity, etc., I'm sitting there playing a video game. Not only that, I'm not playing the game for anyone but me, and I realize it's not benefitting me either. As well, it can tie to morality when I think of a concept like, "If I wasn't sitting here playing video games, I could be doing something to improve or save people's lives. If I would've started helping people years ago instead of playing video games, I could have saved thousands of people by now. Who could be dead right now that I could have saved?" As well, are the video games really giving me long term happiness, or am I using them for a short term high while I fail to pursue long term joy?
Given, I commented this 4 months ago and I'm in a much better place mentally now, but that's still an addiction I wrestle with
@@CherryQuenchGearsofWar the point of games are NOT to progress your life. Some people like where there life is the point of games is to just have fun but I guess not everyone can take it if they die
Besides you will lead a shallow life if everything you do is to better yourself or do somthing for others people need alone time to waste or at least for me the stress builds up until it explodes but I guess it's just me then
Talking about video games being "numbers on a screen". -But what you don't realize is that money is also "numbers" on a screen aswell lol
TheAmigoBoyz I have seen one but when you take out the money from the bank account it’s not in a screen anymore like how in a video game it is you shit head
Suspicious Guy you know about all those people called streamers and youtubers who actually make money of video games? Or know about the term called RMT? Alot of ways to get stuff in real life
Suspicious Guy Nah, when you take out money from your bank account it's just plain paper, which decreases the number on your account. So the only thing they are worth, are the numbers on your bank account. I get that wouldn't hurt for some people to play less video-games, but denying that money also is made out of numbers is not right. Better educate yourself...
I haven't touched video-games for quite some time now. Even though I feel like I have a lot of time for other things now, I think it's overly dramatic to say that video-games "destroy your life more than making it better".
Overeating will destroy your life too. Should we stop eating then? Spending more money than you have, will eventually destroy your life too. Should we stop spending money? Spending too much time on your phone will destroy your life too. Should we stop using phones?
Overdoing something can destroy your life, and guess what, you can do too much of almost everything. So that doesn't only count for video-games. People who are really addicted, are so because something went wrong in their lifes. If you would take games away, they would probably replace it for another addiction.
And like The Maverick said in a comment below: "video-games aren't meant to improve the quality of life, it's a leisure activity." It's the same as going to the cinema, reading a book, or watch this video on RUclips. Why is the one a bad thing to do, and the other not?
come on bro, snap back to reality

iSwearToCod Why are you trying so hard, so desperately to look smart?
I guess i should stop watching movies, listening to music, and just enjoying my life. Video games are for fun. It isnt a false sense of achievement. Its a game. Stop working out. People can live perfectly healthy lives without working out. Its a false sense of acheivment.

He seems to know about a lot of video games for a non-gamer 🙄
What he saying is from a while ago stupid
@@tai4425 no u
@@tai4425 even 3 years ago there are already people who made a career out of video games stupid.
He is Paul. Why are you gamers so triggered?
Shade On A Cool Day They’re all in denial. They think their virtual world is something meaningful in the real world. These people are the reason why the future generations will perish.
Hi Paul,
Alright let me tell you something. I am from Balkan, over here most of us are kind of poor. My really good friend always enjoyed playing video games because he was very good at it. He lives in a veeeeery poor family, when we were kids he would always be in my house playing video games, chilling, eating, having a good time.
Although he is 16 now, he can not have a job and earn money to help his family. So he started playing games on an one of the heighest levels and now he is making a lot of money, in the past 6 months he made about 10 000 euros which is HUUUUUGE over here, as a 16 years old guy should he go just praying (and maintaing that as a only source of help) and not really doing anything to help? Or just work out? Or learn 24/7 - No, he figured out that he MUST help his family, this is his way, you can not tell me that the thing he is doing is wrong, he is not losing his young age even, he is still a kid, kind of.
Just tell me what would be wrong in this scenario?
Also playing video games is really useful, it makes your reflexes better, makes you think faster etc. There are scientific researches so read a bit about it before making videos like this. Ony thing you should`ve told us about should`ve been that playing games shouldn`t affect your social life and education.
If you have few good friends, good grades in University and tendency to become something that can affect making a world better place like me, then what is bad when in have fun with my friends? Am i doing something bad? Am i supposed to ALWAYS do something good with my life without a few hours a week off to do things that I like?
What if I am a maximum relaxed guy who knows that games aren`t real so I can not get frustrated by not being able to build a house or by glitching?
It is really immature to make a video where you tell people what is good and what is bad just because you couldn`t organize yourself to do everything or because you personally can get frustrated by glitching.
I would really love to see what is bad in my friend`s scenario, I bet that you have nothing to say about it so you are just going to ignore this and reply to other comments where people say something like "games are good" without an argument. :)
Sincerely,
Vuk
in my personal experience games made me 1) think faster 2) think outside of the box 3) developed my imagination 4) help me focus better 5) tought me english and its not bs either a lot of studies proove that. in general people that play games are smarter in a lot of ways

depends on the type of games you play
+kappa These are all excuses to not develop those things in more productive way...
I play games for living and I have time to go to gym.. so.. do I have a life too?
Don't ever be ashamed of who you are
I’ve got a feeling that HE is Paul...
There are many things here that you do not understand. It does exist - in the game, and most important, in your mind.
The most clever, educated, moneymaking people i know - all play or have played video games for years.
Look up most of the newest research on the net, it point to video games being very good for people, even at a very young age. Being sporty and outgoing dosent mean that you get things done - remember that.
May be true but other things are better use of your time
Lil Rick like what bro .. Tell me what do you do with your time that's so Damn better ?
Well -- there's just general self-improvement, work towards self-actualization, enlightenment rather than chasing short gratification there is fulfillment..
Lil Rick forgive me if I seem offensive but as a nihilist I realize how meaningless everything is even our own existence as humans hence why there is no purpose or explanation of our creation. What I'm saying is I can appreciate what you are saying but the only truth here is that we are all very small compared to the universe & therefore our existence whether fulfilled or not is very meaningless in itself.
this is completely out of point. the problem isn't videogames, or books or movies or anything that represents a hobby and an escape from reality, or just some hours of entertainment. the problem is when you take such stuff, which can be really anything, to an extreme level and don't do anything else. i've been a hardcore gamer for the last 20 years (i'm 30 years old now), but i work as well as a calisthenics and parkour coach. you just have to use your mind and your time well, that's it
If you enjoy playing video games you actually not wasting your life, so example I was force to play sports because playing video games waste time and I'm not enjoying it so technically I just waste my life because I do a thing that doesn't make me happy and not the one that makes me enjoy.
Can't accomplish things in real life?
Me: *laughs in Topson*
I stopped wasting my time with video games. Now I'm wasting it with youtube.
Dude, i do sport, i work and i play video game, i'm healthy and not usless, so what are you saying is totaly BS thank you :)
I think he meant for those people who are like obsessively playing, especially MMO players
Rampart D. the hell is mmo

Shems eddine SENANI hes talking about people who only play video games all day every day
Look you can play ANY genre of game. As long as it doesn't get unhealthy.
I had spent a lot of time on video games in the past, but it is part of who I am, now I am turning that passion into a mission of inspiring people with life lessons and motivation using video game as a vehicle to reach more people.
He just doesn't understand because he never played video games....
I don't understand your point entirely. I think this video is for extreme video game addicts. Myself, I teach Kung Fu and Chi Gong to students around my city. Its a very deep spiritual practice and excerise. But in the mean time I play video games and get blazed up. This will probably be my life as it makes me happy and I'm giving back. Playing video has nothing to do with anything in what point you are trying to convey.
according to your video, any entertainment is a waste of time....
And games and a lot of entertainment is considered art

This video wasted 5 mins of my life.
Xcalibur I know the truth hurts. Gaming is just useless.
No Name It's not.
It's just for the sake of having fun.
Watch how quick that fun turns into addiction for the average person, who hasn't developed self control. Fun will be the case in racing, story, indie games. But for games with something like a rank system, something to farm/grind for? Watch yourself get addicted and waste hours on hours trying to get your character better in that game rather than making yourself a better person.
Would I be wrong in saying there are more useful ways to have fun or relax?
No Name I don't play those kind of games tbh.
No Name anyone can get addicted to anything. Like exercise. But you don't see me going to you should shaming people who are trying exercise do you? Again called self control. Plus I have play games like world of Warcraft for example. I take time off hang out with my friends and also go to my job.
I'm a professional programmer. It was video games that introduced me to programming. I guess I make money writing stuff that doesn't exist. But what about real games like chess or poker? Do you think Kasparov is a nobody when he's away from chessboard?
I might as well say swinging on bars is somewhat childish. This video only shows your uninformed opinion.

how bout now huh covid19 i need video games so i can fight my loneliness
Lol i bet you have been playing games and staying in your house 24/7 even though there is no virus
I see this video as a product of uneducation, you are being extremely ignorant. Let's try to be rational for a second.
First of all, I personally only play it after I work, what I do in my free time is up to me. It's called free time for a reason, I am not aiming to achieve anything.
Secondly, it all depends on what one hopes to achieve. I had a state of mind when I was 15 that I want to have an enjoyable life before I die. I WISH I could play games my whole life, have fun, make friends and then die smiling. I had a change of heart afterwards, I hope to achieve great successes and become a biologist. I want to make my name known worldwide.
I study all the time, every single day. And then when I relax, I play games. So don't come here telling me that it's wasting my time when I clearly need a break from everything else that's going on in my life. If you're trying to make a point about those who play it 24/7, even while at school, then that's not so much different. Simply because even if games get in the way of school, there are always pathways after you graduate to still get the same job. You want to spend 6 years of hard work in highschool so you can be 1 or 2 years ahead of everyone else? Fine, use your time like that, in the meantime I'll be having fun and enjoying life.
You are being completely ignorant because you're ignoring a lot of things here, Science has proven that games can help improve many abilities, especially creativity. But it seems as if you're only focusing on the negatives.
You might as well say that watching movies and listening to music is wasting your life, and also hanging out with friends. Because they all share something in common, you're not aiming to achieve anything. You need to escape your little bubble, because not everyone sees life the way you do, and yours and ours are not a wrong way of looking at it. People aim for different things in life, regardless of whether it's having a fun and enjoyable life, or working your ass out to achieve something.
+nightwish672 wow you wrote all that do defend video games?? it's you who lives in the bubble
+Igetmoney
You are extremely ignorant. I put facts on the table and you ignore it. Listen buddy, I told him to look at the overall picture, educate himself on the topic then give his opinion.
I only play games after I work, perhaps if you'd learn to read the whole thing then you'd understand, but I understand that your brain power is limited and won't allow you to read that much.
Next time you type such foolish things, form a counter-argument and stop being so childish.
I read trough your facts buddy and it was nothing new.
The fact that your getting way too offensive over this guys simple message(which is accurate by the way) and then again on me shows me something.
All Pavel was trying to do is to let people see their gaming habits from another perspective.
You wrote all that to try to convince us he's being foolish but in reality youre trying to convince yourself.
And I've been there too, I wish you luck!
Igetmoney
Yet you still don't form counter-arguments. Simple-minded you are. If games don't aim towards any achievement, then so do music and movies. Can people not do this stuff in their free time? It's absurd how people can give their opinion but not realise what they're actually saying.
His perspective is based on ignorance. I study 24/7, and then this guy comes along saying that games ruin lives, apparently I can't relax after I study. There are benefits and detriments to everything you do.
People aim for different things in life, not only aiming to achieve stuff, not everyone views life the same way he does, so sharing your opinion that games ruin lives is disgusting because it totally goes in the face of those who just want to enjoy their lives before they die.
I don't need to form counterarguments I'm not here to argue. I've been an addicted gamer, now I do calisthenics and martial arts and I see all my past gaming experience as a waste of time and a psychological disorder. I got really depressed at the start of this year and went back to gaming for a month after a 5 year break, all it was me trying to escape real life, it was relaxing sure, same way heroin is relaxing to an addict.
This is me talking from experience, video games do not benefit you in anyway. Sush with that creativity nonsense, if you want to develop creativity drop the games and actually create something.
With all that said, there's nothing wrong playing so football or whatever with a bunch of friends, or trying out some new game on your laptop, I'm talking about the kind of gaming where you can't wait for afternoon to come so you can drop everything and zone out in your game and you repeat that everyday, when you skip meals and go to sleep late, you don't hang out and you feel proud of your game achievements and when some newb kills you you're smashing the keyboard and be an asshole to anyone trying to talk some sense into you!
Dont watch movies, dont watch tv, dont read comics, dont read a book. Remember guys youre not a real man if you allow yourself to have fun.
+ianucci Like like like!
+ianucci The feeling of "good" should be produced when you're actually doing good (as in benefitting society, helping others, etc). Not when you trick your brain into thinking you're doing something great when in reality you're participating in an illusion. Yes, movies, tv, comics are mostly a waste of time for this reason. Why is this so difficult to understand?
You're essentially saying entertainment is a waste of time. Since the dawn of time humans have entertained each other in various ways. A life without entertainment would seem pretty miserable to me. It would be highly detrimental to your mental wellbeing too.
+ianucci
Yes, I am. You hit the nail on the head with the first sentence. And the comments on this video revealed to me that people aren't enjoying their lives, thus, "entertainment". I really see entertainment as a waste of time because I get so much more pleasure out of actually doing things, doing things for others, rather than resting and being pleased by others.
