[@gameranxTV]

Have you benefited in any way from playing a video game? Unconventional or not. Whatever. Let us know!

[@SmashingSnow]

gameranx Helped me develop a great relationship with my cousins when we were growing up. For me personally it helped me get through a few breakups and other rough times

[@vacancyvisions]

I feel like I am not benefiting if you consider the fact that I have played 60 hours of Minecraft in the last two weeks... but I love your vids!

Harvie B134 yes, yes it does

[@0019khudson]

gameranx for me gaming has helped with my anxiety. I have been a long time gamer but when I went from the once a week gamer to a daily gamer. My anxiety went down exponentially. Enough so that the medications I formerly took have been dropped by over half!!

[@abysswalker750]

My step mom has always said, "Video games are evil, because they give people a false sense of accomplishment, and then they don't feel like they have to actually accomplish anything in real life." I'm 21 and make about twice as much money as she does, already have a house, and I'm getting married in 9 months. I've played video games quite a lot throughout my life. Doesn't seem to stop me from accomplishing things in real life lol.

[@maxcomas]

Abyss-Walker750 if that's true, congratulations. Just don't rub it in her face that much

[@abysswalker750]

Air Max I don't at all lol. I just try and point out that it doesn't necessarily do that. It depends on the person. When my older brother was my age he did pretty much nothing but play video games. Probably why she thought what she did. I just think it depends on the person whether or not they want to achieve things in life. I don't think that video games influence it that much at least. And yeah I know I could say I'm whatever I want on the internet, but it is actually true lol. I wasn't trying to use it to brag though. Just use it as an example of how a lot of people feel the same way as my step mom about video games and it isn't really true. I mean now, I am lucky if I get to play 3 or 4 hours in a month cause I am so busy, but I still play sometimes and I played a ton growing up.

[@about45otters81]

Good for you mate!

[@CrusardModding]

But the more important question is: Are you happy now after you killed off your hobby?

[@abysswalker750]

Crusard Modding I haven't killed it off. I just don't have as much time for it as I used to. It would be nice to play more, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

[@almightyretrosoul]

Good to know because I told my grandmother that I still play video games and she was shocked and seemed disgusted. But so has my mom and the rest of the females in my family. I just don't care anymore because if I didn't have my games I'd be a depressed psychopath.

[@sapphirejaxxgh8639]

AKSOXTS that sucks. My mom was the one to buy new my first console. The super Nintendo. She knows I still play and doesn't care. The females in my family all play video games... Ah the 90's were a good time.

I am a 30 yo teacher that has been away from video games for more than 10 years. Not until last year when I discover something called Horizon Zero Dawn while visiting a friend that have a PS4. And then I fell in love for that game to the point that in the next moth I bought a brand new PS4 to play that game again in my own console. Ever since then, I realized that my productivity and intelectual awareness has improved to the point that I'm being capable to work twice as much as I used to but without feeling any more tired because of it. Sounds crazy, but this is my reality now, and I'm really happy about it.

[@c5d777]

I am 100% honest here, When I first load up Bf1 (I play on PS4 pro with slightly above avg brightness on a large TV a bit over 10 ft away), I can’t really find enemies on the screen until I’ve been playing for like 15-20 min. I think this a solid proof than FPS like Battlefield where u r actively looking for small details (enemies) relaxes ur eyes and improves ur vision

I have seen studies where FPS players tend to be better drivers because they are able to see tiny details (like a kid running out in front of them or a car running a stop sign) because we are used to picking out small details in the game, just like you said.

[@namonaite]

People would rather give the blame to something they don't understand rather then fix a complex problem without simple solution, as is how I interpret anyone blaming violence or anti social behaviour on video games. Cause and effect, there are many reasons for complex problems hence why their complex many feel tempted to blame video games even though games are just experiences, their not drugs, they don't make people go insane, they serve to entertain or challenge. Unfortunately not everyone understands that.

It’s kind of like practicing a sport eventually you’ll get so good at that sport that you’ll be able to use let’s say your soccer kicks to learn a new martial arts or vice versa if you are good with martial arts you could be great at soccer, because technically martial arts is all about being flexible and explosive. Same with games as long as you aren’t too into the game wasting 3 hours a day it’s ok. Normally I only do 30 to 40 minutes a day tops and on the weekends I do like 2 to 3 hours. That’s just me though I still have time to do martial arts and play soccer and even go to the gym 😂

Well for me the most interesting study that proof gamers can imagine better, the student find hard core gamers specially the fps they have a higher ability to visualize the things around them without seeing them in such a way space visualization is easier for them because they spend all their time moving in 3d world that every single axis can be reached and they can kill or being killed from all the directions so their sense of the space is higher and their ability to visualize and create a visual thing is way better than non gamers. For me I’m doing architectural studies and i see being a gamer is really help a lot.

[@zeljkotomic56]

Kalei Aleena she dies from 1 foot drop

[@VegaGameplayz]

Two of the best characters in gaming this year! Kratos used to be the most cookie cutter guy in gaming for me until the latest god of war dropped. Now he sounds like a man so full of wisdom who isn’t blood hungry but will kill if I’ve needs to. The original trilogy it seems like it was done for just revenge but I approve the latest take on him even more because it was more for honor and love of his wife and son. Lara best character attribute is her brain. I enjoyed listening to her explain the collectibles and seeing her outthink herself out of anything. I’m excited to see her in the up coming game again. I’m currently playing through her other games to prepare for the third installment in my channel lol

How games affected me? Well i haven't killed myself yet so i guess games are a decent way to release some steam and stress when my depression kicks in. Also I guess more people have to start gaming then :D would help alot with the rising numbers of idiots on the web and angry parents because 1 kid commits a crime. Besides. Games are alot more of a fun way to learn then books and boring teachers

You can’t really learn stuff through videogames though..? It’s more like therapy than a viable source of learning. :/

[@drazgul9403]

The only thing that gaming thought me is watching at everywhere every 2 seconds. I admit, I reacted to two cars that nearly ran me over... So I guess, more awareness.

[@dustythetvheadman3620]

Yes! This thumbnail is very helpful. I often had trouble with my XBOX controllers, until I found out that dipping it in an unidentifiable blue liquid in a lab beaker fixed the problem! Thank you, gameranx!

I supposed to be insanly smart, it actually helped me to learn English much more effective than learning in school.

Why are older people less intelligent than younger people?

ninja of fire that's just how the universe is. As things change they can only adapt so long and soon us younger adults will be in a similar boat without harder study and intrest

When I'm 80 I will still be playing video games.

Because they have backwards thinking and are stuck in their ways.

[@Mii.2.0]

Because they're boomers.

[@bozartspianoarchive3546]

Playing video games does affect the dopamine reward system in your brain; your motivation center (Mesolimbic Pathway). I had to put down real video games for years so I could finish my medical degree, because I knew it would make studying that much harder.

[@yulfine1688]

Jo King that's an addiction you have... addiction is much more different than someone who games for a few hours a day... or a more hardcore esports gamer who seem fine as well..that's just you and others. Hell I fixed my addiction problems but it wasn't only games and I stuck to them because of depression and other things..so actually it's one reason I'm alive it's a reason why I'm doing so well now it's a reason I'm going to college a reason I found a interest in computers and software and hardware and electronics in general without that what would I be now I wonder.

[@leader8569]

1. Gaming teaches us never to give up. 2. Gaming makes our typing faster, if we play on a PC. 3. Gaming sometimes makes us aggressive, which is sometimes useful. Final point, MOST IMPORTANT POINT!!! 5. Gaming makes us cool 😎

[@curtis8880]

I remember back in 2010 i lost a very close family member and was very depressed and a little while later was laid up for 6 months do to an injury had barely any interactions with anyone because of it all and I then started getting into PlayStation Home and I really feel like that was a total switch for my life I became a co-leader of a clan on there which had about 70 people and gave me a boost in my self-esteem and I wish that Home would have been finished or at least be brought back because I knew so many people who were in the same mental state as me and it helped us feel like we weren't alone and it was a chill spot no competitive vibes ever

Some colleges are adding esports as a major.

[@Invades]

Gaming subjects don't bring us anything useful except if we're gonna play E-sports (which you can practice yourself by actually playing video games at home). There already is a computer science subject in the majority of schools.

[@foullily8325]

For me, I feel it gives me an outlet from stress, depression and anxiety for a little while. I feel it also helped me learn more about things irl, in a more loose sense, but it made it easier to learn later on, since due to my autism, learning things and how the world works isn't always easy, but video games have absolutely helped me with that, and with other general, and basic knowledge as well.

[@kallimarii1509]

Before I took up gaming, I was a really shy book nerd of a kid. I had severe social anxieties and was more introverted compared to my siblings, when I played my first online game ( it was this MMORPG game called Wakfu, the character I played as was a Eliotrope. My profile image) I slowly started coming out of my shell more and more. The people I played with were so kind and encouraging, the guild that I joined and the people in it were like family to me, I became more social and adventurous so to speak and 6 years later it helped reduced my anxieties and helped me became a better person. I still get jittery when I have to talk to people but compared to before I am definitely a happier person :)

When I didn't play games before at the age of 10, I used to always look at maps. Now I don't and I just drive based upon experience and going to a specific place so many times. At a ski resort that I go to to go skiing, I don't even know most of the ski lift or run names, but I know where they go, because of how many times I had went on them.

[@Genesectking]

6:38 I know from experience this is true, when my father passed away i was haighly stressed because my mom wanted me to go to where he was and I didnt know what was going on when she left i was extremely stressed out and spending 30 minutes playing half-life 2 got me pretty calmed down.

1. Helps with my depression and anxiety 2. Helps me think of new ways to improve 3.helps me think as playing a multiplayer game like fortnight when and what tarp or peace control or wher and when to rush as well as thinking out side of the box whether it's rotating to next curcle and so on In conclusion gaming helps with a lot could be tracking your enemy or knowing what your enemy is gonna do next by thinking ahead

[@ew4951]

I had to fight cancer last year (Lymphoma, I'm now in remission since Feb this year), but gaming honestly helped keep me sane going through chemo. It helped me remain happy by playing story games and immersing myself in a world where I didn't have a machine hooked to my heart pumping in chemicals to kill the cancer. If it wasn't for games I would've struggled so much more, mentally that is, as I wouldn't have been able to "escape" from my house and my current predicament (at the time), instead I was able to lead massive armies in the world of Total War Warhammer II, fight in a demonic invasion of Mars in DOOM and compete in an intense first person shooter of Overwatch. Cancer was not able to control my feelings, thanks to gaming, I remained as myself.
