When I was your age, nihilists would be too busy busting their asses in the mines and huffing up coal dust to even have time to worry about this existential mumbo jumbo
You’re at the helm of a biomechanical flesh golem trillions of members strong that is ripping consciousness and entropy out of the aether and you have the audacity to give up on it
I realize that it is an extremely poor depiction of what EOD is like, but it at least tries to capture a little bit of the trauma of the conflict, and it succeeds at being super tense.
The best games of the year surpasses the best films of the year as art forms some years. Even weird shit like Naissance is a better use of your time than watching netflix.
You can still have fun even if you're not going to the NBA. Favorite player on our college team was a (comparatively) short guy they only put in when we were destroying the other team. Never got the mentality of "well I'm not great at X so therefore I'll just play Vidya."

I've played pickup hoops at least once a week for basically my entire life, and I never even for a second thought I would go pro. It's the best sport for pickup in the world imho, even more than soccer. honorable mention ultimate frisbee nh is pretty fun as well
this is so retarded, but the "gamer influencer" takes on this are even worse. critikal's video about how it's easier to make money being a streamer than through martial arts is one of the stupidest things I've seen this week.
It's dumb. There are tens of thousands of streamers who will never break past 10 concurrent viewers, even if they kept at it for years.
If you managed to fleece just one soccer mom on facebook for lessons, you'd probably make more than these guys would in their entire streaming career. Top streamers are so insulated.

Standard cope in the comments about how video games promote things like hand-eye coordination, reflexes, and problems solving as if the average person sitting on their ass all day would notice any tangible benefits.
Sure have it as a hobby, but it's crazy that people try to twist it as more than anything but mindless entertainment for most people.
Vidya only significantly helps with problem solving if you're a developing 3 year old. Im guessing that games barely help for the other 2, and even if they do what does it matter, what real life applications do they have

how much of cope is this?
9 NathansFamousDogpill 2020-07-30
Incredible cope, but he's kinda right in that there has been a awful lot of garbage at the oscars over the years. I'm looking at you hurt locker
10 OuttaTime42069 2020-07-30
All the crappy Oscar movies and you bring up Hurt Locker?
5 NathansFamousDogpill 2020-07-30
Its the one that came to mind. Didn't like it at all
1 GeauxHouston22 2020-07-30
yeah dude it was nowhere near as good as crash bandicoot or whatever
6 AlecOzzyHillPitas 2020-07-30
I kinda liked Hurt Locker 😢

1 NathansFamousDogpill 2020-07-30
Thats fair. I think the unrealistic parts kept me from getting invested in it so the tension never really connected with me
1 preserved_fish 2020-07-30
Fair enough, but Crash also won the Oscar. I have a friend who punishes himself when he's been bad by watching that movie.
1 ArlenBilldozer 2020-07-30
Crash is such a shit movie. A time traveller from 2020 made a "woke" VOD movie and delivered it to 2004.
2 fat_cox 2020-07-30
Are you ready for this year's Oscars? Trolls 2 for Best Picture.

The oscars are shit, i edited my comment. Happy?

not in many years, no.

That stairs into the black void part took me ages though, I thought that the solution couldn't be that, as obvious as it was
1 vsehorrorshow93 2020-07-30
fuck you that movie’s great
2 tHeSiD 2020-07-30
Uhh sweaty the last of us one and two are Oscar worthy
2 always_horny_guy 2020-07-30
What about Smash Brothers? It's an incredible drama dealing with pedophilia, autism, and the deterioration of masculinity in the 21st century.
1 ABaadPun 2020-07-30
There are 0 video games with oscar winning stories, this is grade B cope.
2 CockDockingMaster 2020-07-30
My left testicle has better stories to tell than many oscar-winning movies, I don't doubt that at least a few games could clear such a low bar
1 ABaadPun 2020-07-30
Only in the eyes of a lowly gamer.

Big Rigs has a better story than Titanic, change my view

It’s not cope. Pac-Man has a better story than some of the trash that’s considered Oscar worthy.
10 HodorLePortePorte 2020-07-30
At least playing basketball is healthy and leads you to a chance at playing in a professional sport.
10 Naziwrecker 2020-07-30
And even if you're just a shitty short basketball player, sucking at basketball is way more healthy than video games.
2 Faeswordsman 2020-07-30
Not VR video games.

Would you rather be a 3x LA fitness MVP or a super smash bros pro that gets all the (underage) girls?

Is it really checkmate if you need to stop showering?

Sure have it as a hobby, but it's crazy that people try to twist it as more than anything but mindless entertainment for most people.

Like 99% of the "benefits" to video games are found in ANY competitive sport.
1 MemeAnalzyer 2020-07-30
I used to stream as a hobby and getting 10 viewers was good enough for me because I knew going in I wasn't gonna get big

Someone should ask him if he wants to be a jannie for r/BanVideoGames
1 thealt1776 2020-07-30
With the way people are chimping out you would think he said that all gamers are retards, but what he says sounds pretty reasonable lol
1 Supreme-Shitposter 2020-07-30
I dont care about his opinions on this but I do find it hilarious that he had an episode that was just shilling for Doom Eternal.
1 always_horny_guy 2020-07-30
Doom Eternal is the only game i shill for

1 Currently_afk_brb 2020-07-30
His first mistake was going after the gamers 😎
1 MegaDace 2020-07-30
I like how they left out the first part where he says videogames are super fun and addicting. He used to be obsessed with Quake.
