I played Diablo 2 for nearly 50 hours straight (barring eating, RR breaks) when it first came out. This is what happens when you hand out participation trophies to youth.

@@qpSubZeroqp you're comparing it to worse, while i'm comparing it to better. if you're so shit, that you would do that, then keep playing sure... but most people aren't.

Yeah we thought the subscription fee was bad, now they create psychologically predatory content that makes you pay for cosmetics. How good you looked was directly related to how much you played / how good you were in wow, not how much you spent.
B-1LL gpa is graded on a 4.0 scale. 2.0= all c’s, 3.0= all b’s and a 4.0 gpa would mean you got all a’s. It’s an average of all of your grades. Honors classes are worth 4.5 for an A and AP (advanced placement) classes are college level courses that you gain college credit from completing. You get 5.0 points for an A and a B in an AP class is worth the same as an A in a regular class (4.0). It’s a way to bring up your average (GPA) by taking harder courses. Someone who gets all B’s and takes all AP classes will theoretically have the same GPA as someone who gets all A’s in normal classes.
@@truman809 We had AP classes at my highschool and the maximum GPA was still 4.0. I feel like this is a thing thats done at poor schools to make themselves look better and get more funding.
@@vordivask4059 actually it is up to school districts... where I went it was sorta similar but we didn't go up to a 5.0 an A in an AP course was i think 4.25, and a B was like 3.8 think the idea with my school district was not to have it completely nullify other classes worth
IISelfeII what I do in WoW since I don’t pay for the game anymore I go into zones that are like 10 levels higher than me and I try to kill the mobs and I also try to get a big group of people that are also low level and we go into a very high level zone and kill mobs like it’s a raid. I also just talk to people and ask how their day is going
4:46 "it's a middle age mom with a 'can I speak to the manager haircut' complaining about a video-game " That haircut comment is SO TRUE xD (or at least mildly true). P.S. She's a puppet stereotyping gamers and deserves just as much scrutiny!
I wonder how much time and money is spent on her 2-3 glasses of red wine or how much time is the parents spending on watching tv because they get pleasure from it but if a child does something that makes them happy then so fucking what???
People are weird about spending so much time playing games. I remember when mum was afraid that Mario would make my brother and I violent because we killed the goombas and turtles. We werent even allowed to say the word "kill". When I found WoW and started playing that I just got sucked into it because it was just fun. I went to work and then I came home, played Wow, made something to eat, do a few chores and played more WoW. Everyone was getting all paranoid because WoW has demons in it and they had a huge DND paranoia and thought I was going to get possesed because of a game lol. It didnt help because I had depression and anxiety, but playing WoW actually kept my mind busy to where I wasnt thinking about how shitty I felt all the time.
@Madam Raven Moon reading this makes me sad. Sad that People in the current century are still superstitious,pretentious and hypocritic. I would be more concerned about people thinking demons are real and how far away from intituionalizing them I am. I mean good for people who find comfort in religion but forcing it on people is just evil. now im a sad Sadi.
I was raised in a church-going household. Growing up, everything was of the devil. Depression and anxiety was caused by the devil. Having migraines during church (even though you have them everywhere else) was caused by the devil. The devil was in EVERYTHING. TV, games, music.......It was insane
@@sadi5713 I agree. I have nothing against religion, but people shouldnt force their religion on other people. And as far as mental illness and religion goes.......when I was growing up, the only advice I was given for my problems was "pray it away". Im sorry, but that doesnt work. I prayed, I cried, I yelled, but I still wasnt cured. If you have a kid who is sad and crying all the time, self mutilating and having suicidal thoughts then get them help
I was one of these kids back in the day. Parents let me play games, but encouraged me to succeed. When they got angry at me playing games, it made me want to distance myself from them and the world. Eventually I found the balance myself, applied some self discipline, graduated college, pushed myself. They never pushed me, they just spoke their mind on how they support me and want me to succeed and that level of support made me want to make them proud and do good for myself so I found balance in entertainment and progression. When there's disagreement, there's rebellion. If there's just nothing but arguments and lecturing, you're heading into a downward spiral. When you love and respect someone, you want to do good for them. I think it's important for parents to stay positive.
He also spends 4 hours eating and undisclosed amount of time meditating thrice a day. Even if the three meditation sessions only amounted to 1 hour total, that would still be 31 hours in a day.
Same, but was before Wow, just playing whatever. I never did homework at home, home was for gaming. And my parents never gave me grief because my grades were good. Had a 3.8 gpa by doing homework on the bus or inbetween classes, and if I had a paper to write or a project I would just do it during another class or in a study hall if I had one.
My senior year of high school I was in a pass fail program. I ended up just playing wow like 14 hours a day and sleeping in class, ended up just getting my GED
"I have several holes in my walls from throwing controllers into it. I slammed my head over and over again until I saw white light. I carved my deaths into my arm...." Yeah but games don't increase aggression, and no you didn't have an addiction....
Asmon on childhood and getting older: “I wouldn’t have traded it for anything but now would trade everything for it...when I was younger I wanted everything that I have, now that I am older I want everything that I had”. That’s actually pretty deep.
70 hours in 6 months? Dude, I logged over 2000 hours in Stellaris in the summer of 2018 (4 months) while holding down a full-time job and getting 6 hours of sleep a night. I played 1 session that was 36 hours straight, no sleep, no meals, just bathroom breaks, 15 minute rest breaks, and snacks. 70 hours in 6 months isn't an addiction.
You are exactly correct with your beginning statements. I would love to play wow nonstop and want more. I'm old enough to know that when something like that comes along, you do it 100% because it will fade.
I used to use the on screen keyboard to log into wow and play when my parents took the keyboard away lol. Then I just started the computer in safe mode to get around account passwords. Considering i was 13, at least I was learning something when finding a way to circumvent their parental controls haha
Funny how the parents say that the kids spend too long playing Fortnite, but don't really do anything to stop them. Stop blaming the game for your bad parenting...
@Brendan Frieders No he wont I'm pass 400 days played myself :) Was Best times of my life. Work and Grind miss those times :( Now its work and nothing :/
@Brendan Frieders I really do not think people take into account how many useless activities we do that don't seem "useful" to others. It's a matter of perspective, he spent 450 days playing WoW, but he had liked every single moment of it, otherwise he wouldn't have played. For you, that doesn't seem natural, but for people who are passionate about the game, it's something amazing.
@@dependency3000 true. I can say back then TBC/WOTLK times i hardly smoked weed drank booze and mdma and generaly getting fucked out of boredom. When ya fucked cant grind so was one way or other. Nowadays ?? I run 10k a day and work out and by doing so. My right knee and hip fucked. My left foot fucked my spine will need operation cause its fucked. So what Im 7% fat ripped when body cant handle IRL grins and started falling appart. Should have atayed addicted to gaming instead of fotness would not be so damaged...
when i was 14 MW2 was at its most popular, i remember putting 10-14 hours a day on that and when i got into WoW around that time aswell i used to put the same into that when MW2 died off
ANyone else notice the mother was 300 lbs and she is feeding the kid Carrot sticks, capsicums and water. At least we know where all the doughnuts are going!
How can you be addicted to that? I mean the game is fun with friends because you can troll super hard without consequences. But solo it is boring af everyone is tryharding for no reward at all.
What reward do you get from any game really? Outside from e-sports competitive scene, most games don't really have any other satisfaction to play it outside escapism. If you don't like the game, so be it, but putting your opinion on a pedestal is really just making you look like an asshole. I tried the game, didn't like it, but millions do.

My schedule for WoW was to go to bed at 4pm and sleep until 10pm so that i wouldn’t be playing while tired and there was no one awake to bother me before i left for school at 7am
This whole news thing is just because it is cyclical. They just jump on the most popular game and bash it around for reasons that are basically bad parenting. (Not that i not agree with asmongold).
Yes and this is why i say its cyclical. A decade ago it was WoW, now its Fortnite. They tired it inbetween with other games aswell. Not to say that these games are not addictive, they are, but most of it leads back to other issues in society like bullying and bad parenting.
He made a crazy point that I never thought of. Kids are addicted to Fortnite the same way people are/were addicted to WOW. That's nuts and just validated Fortnite to me
Sometimes stuff like this makes me wonder why parents don’t sit down with their kids and learn about their hobbies and try engaging with them, rather than attacking the things they enjoy. Literally zero sympathy or understanding. TALK TO YOUR KIDS!
70 hours? I spend that many hours in a week. I play WoW or CSGO for 8 hours a day, sleep another 8 hours and go to work for 8 hours, Thats 40 hours from Monday to Friday and spend like 15-20 hours on weekends since i dont have to work then, its not an addiction. Its just being passionate about grinding the game.
@Brendan Frieders Spending 10 hours instead of 8 isnt really a big difference either, The difference is that i dont afk in a city for 5 hours straight, if nothing... i at least get a new equipment or a mount in those 8 hours
@@StarboyXL9 it was, but hollu shit my shoulders hurt a lot, and after 4 days of almost no sleep you get up in school and try to move yourself with a cursor
Also, The funny thing is the hypocritical parents who criticize their kids for excessive escapism almost always spend more time watching TV or over working to even acknowledge their child's existence. Then they get confused when they can't find their kid because he has new family and friends online because he was severely neglected.
It would be wow if wow wasn’t so pointless to play nowadays. But it’s crazy because fortnite is the same. The only thing to go for are wins and skins. It’s fun but it’s pointless tbh. I guess if you’re playing just because you want to be good at it, that’s a reason. But old wow had so much meaningful content that wasn’t just another win or another skin. Now everything you could use in the past to give your character an edge is pointless
i miss the days of coming home from school and fuckin exploring the Forrest with the bois then coming home after hours of that and playing my level 40 warrior shitting on kids in the barrens
Actually the moms are afraid. They don't know shit about PC, games, or anything their kid does. And since they don't understand it, they are afraid and better make Satan out of it, forbid it and satiate their need for protecting the kid. It's not about games at all.
Kids (and even adults) are getting emotional highs from video games instead of from the real world. It's a social issue not caused by video games. The social norm to be assholes to each other drives people to seek enjoyment from somewhere else, which is easily obtained from video games.
Most of these supposed news reports about addicted gamers are soooo fake in a very cringy way. It's so obvious that they paid the parents and the kid to pretend just to get a clickbait-news story and to bash on video games. And those kids who actually are addicted to video games, it's not the games fault that the kids became addicted, it's the parents fault for doing bad parenting.
@@aorusaki It only gets to that point if the parent didn't teach them properly. It is their fault, yes, but most of that blame can EASILY and SHOULD be on the parent because they are the ones that are suppose to be guiding them. If all you do is put the console in front of them to act as their "babysitter", no shit they're going to be having fun playing a game for hours on end without understanding the concept of moderation.
No one wants to waste their life on WoW. We want a real MMO to waste our life on. WoW is never going to be that game. WoW is just the game that appealed to the masses.
Speaking of time capsules and how things have changed, remember when you were told not to get into a stranger's car? Now with Uber and Lyft you can summon a stranger from the internet and get in their car.
My high school had a program for seniors where you could make up classes by taking them online, it was a regular class schedule with all the assignments. A few guys realized that they could make a lot of money taking the online classes for other people. School caught on really quick when people who failed a multiple classes kept passing with A's or people who struggled with math could get through an entire course in a week.
