10 Things You Should NEVER Say To A GAMER

[@ARIXANDRE]

As a child, I originally learned the basics of English by playing JRPGs. Meanwhile, my non-gamer friends spend thousands of dollars at English courses with no results. 👍🏻

[@Amins88]

People will criticize trying to learn a language through entertainment, and say things like watching anime will make you sound like an anime character. But every single person I know who has learned English as a second language has done so through watching American films or listening to American music to the point where they sound like native speakers. Art imitates reality. It's all the same vocabulary and all the same grammar. I used to think this was crazy, but I've been sort of doing this with Japanese for the past year, and I'm actually noticing genuine improvements, even if they are slow. I will always stand by the fact that immersion is far more important than book learning.

[@ivan_osorio]

@@Amins88 This is not a good parallel. It's alright if you search anime that is purposefully close to life and watch that for education, but a lot of what is said, and how it is said, in anime does not actually mirror everyday use of the Japanese language. I've seen a lot of people who do in fact end up talking "like anime", it's just that they don't tend to care or be exposed to their faults because they don't have much to any contact with actual Japanese native speakers who are not anime fans. Having said that, I've met a few Japanese people who spoke like anime when I lived in Japan, and it is jarring. It's like when you stumble into someone in the US that talks exactly like a rap record / country album. It sounds incredibly weird, even when it's the natives doing it, let alone a foreigner. EDIT: I'm not saying that learning anything through games or anime (or movies, or whatever) is pointless / not possible / not good. It works. Undeniably. But if you are going to use media as a support material for learning, it would be a good idea to be somewhat more methodical about it and try to spread out the sources.

[@Amins88]

@@ivan_osorio This is a fair point. It just takes the self-awareness to understand what is "Anime Flair" and what is common vocabulary. Also having a balanced approach by watching real conversations with real people (interviews, podcasts, etc.) helps, too.

Oh my God, this. My little brother lives close to my mom and her husband and they give him a lot of flack for enjoying video games because they know he plays them. Last time I was over there I'm like look, you guys should chill out on fussing at him over a video game. It's no different than you guys sitting in the living room watching TV for 8 hours on your days off and spending the rest of your free time on the days you work doing the same thing. Actually, playing a game is more interactive and it keeps his brain engaged. So while you're drooling in front of a television, he's actually thinking about the actions he's taking and planning and strategizing as well as making split-second decisions that affect the success of what he's trying to do. As a matter of fact, there are studies showing that video games can improve brain decline related to age. So, come on guys just please give him a break. I love my mom but she's very old school.

I hope to hear in 20 years that you're a proof case that playing the right types of games helps. I do know that there seems to be evidence supporting the base theory, just nothing that has managed to work consistently enough because it doesn't exercise the mind to a great enough extent for most people. Also, I don't think they've tested with games that were complex enough to strongly support the theory as such games were, relatively speaking, too new.

10. Well said. Like you said there's games that require plenty of reading too and reading words doesn't automatically make someone smart. Also, I would like to add too that it doesn't have to be just one or the other. If someone plays games, that doesn't meant they don't ALSO read books. People CAN have multiple hobbies, you know. 9. Yeah fair point I also think sports fans are ridiculous when they rage over their team losing. And it's worse not only because they're not doing anything, but they also can become genuinely violent towards others at times... 8. Yeah I would say if you have a sudden responsibility that comes up you should take care of it, like you said with a parent needing to help a child or something like that, but otherwise people generally shouldn't be disturbed when they're playing a game like that. 7. Yeah with that just use your judgment based on the individual circumstance, but more likely than not it isn't an accident if it involves modern games since there are typically multiple clear steps to go through to delete a save file. But yeah, with the parent thing they should just be more straightforward with it. If you're concerned about your kid playing too much instead of doing chores or homework talk to them and try to work out some other solution first. Deleting a game should really only be a last resort if nothing else works and it's truly necessary. 6. Yeah if someone wants to use a catch-all term, there is a better way to do it, just call it a console. Nintendo is a specific brand, and even within that brand the consoles are wildly different from each other. Do you mean a Game Boy? A Wii? A Switch? N64? They're all very different. Definitely more different than Coke and Pepsi. 5. Yeah whatever console(s) you choose to play, there's no need to degrade someone over picking something different. Different people like different things. And yeah, if you can have all of them more power to you, but some people can only afford one, and again that's not something you should degrade someone over. Even being able to play any of them is a first world luxury we should be grateful for. 4. Yeah if you WANT to put it on easy, you can, but no one else should be TELLING you to play it that way. It's your game, you play it how you want. 3. Yeah it definitely qualifies as art. Not all art is good, but it's still art. 2. Yeah I think that situation is similar to walking in on someone watching p o r n. It's best to just not say anything, leave and let them be. 1. Yeah, the creators of the products definitely shouldn't be treating the fans like they're stupid.

Personally had not just my reading ability helped by playing video games but also my mathematical ability with games like Fire Emblem very young when doing basic multiplication because being good at the game meant knowing the metrics behind what would take down an enemy.

Instead, I knew it was dumb to fight this guy because I wasn't gonna hit him 5 times before he dealt my health pool of 25 with 13 damage attacks. Also primed my mind for algebra in first grade, lol.

Someone: Go read a book. Me: *reading Moby Dick in Starfield.

[@dondewan]

I am a firm believer that Zelda Games has an effect on my reading grade level

[@PikaLink91]

I'm gonna bookmark this video for whenever I need to explain any of these points to family members.

[@Optimusprime809]

Not even 10 seconds in and Falcon's already insulted me by speaking the hard truth, I love it

[@stanscouch53]

Falcon's freak out at 6:55 had me in tears!!

[@AS34N]

Gamerax casually dropping bangers on a Sunday ❤ Most youtubers keep ya waiting days or months... can we all agree Falcon and Jake kinda spoil us

[@FoxHowell]

"Have you ever try to put together idk a bed?!" 😂😂😂 fucking love Falcon

[@Yas_Sin]

Man that one really did make me laugh! and I could actually relate to almost everything in the list! great video, keep up the good work guy!

[@gameranxTV]

👍🏼

[@3reddytop]

For the it's just a game one. If it gets to the point that you're lashing out at others you need to either bunker down and just press on until you beat it or go to your happy game.

[@moderategiantx3374]

Listening to Falcon get audibly frustrated at each one was therapeutic. Lol I felt it as well

[@sashal3566]

nah us gamers don’t have friends

[@two0092]

Friends dont have gamers us

[@calebwright7014]

This is true

[@JewishLewis4200]

We have family

[@brandonwooldridge1877]

Most of our friends are other gamers

[@ActNasty5]

I live with my girlfriend but can confirm i dont have time to have friends if i want to have time to game. Only time i talk to friends is playing online games lol

[@kopottrobot]

#10 is so valid. Reading is my other hobby and boy oh boy the amount of worthless junk people have the audacity to call literature is just mindblowing. And I know quite a few people who consider themselves above their peers just because they read, even though the books they go through are the definition of paper wasting.

[@MrPrideHyde]

That cracked me up, so true!)

[@JoeyDieselComedy]

Like the Books that take multiple pages to describe the location before even starting the chapter's plot. That one really bugged me *coughJKcoughRowlingcough*

[@Dovah_Slayer]

I read the same few books over and over again if I'm not playing video games because I enjoy them (they are the greats like any of Paolini's works and JRR Tolkien's works) and people saying "read a book" actually pisses me off it's like "no if I wanted to read a book I would I have read my books multiple times I just want to play a game I want to interact with something on a more literal level"

[@meh2510]

I read books all the time and mom used to criticize me for the subjects I chose. I was annoyed on a couple of points. The first was the closest I ever saw her pick up a book was to fill in one of those crossword activity books you could get in a checkout line, so why are you judging me on my material. The second was literary works could be garbage too. I was once forced to read Hawthornes Scarlet Letter in High School and I could feel my brain cells dying as I tried to get through it; its sad that the film adaptation managed to do a better job of fleshing out the character development and plot than the actual book did. Give me my Pratchett, Koontz, and Lackey any day over drivel like that.

[@joker9in]

I know right, just the teen dystopia genre alone.... Well let me put it this way a lot of those books would serve humanity a lot better serving as toilet paper, than literature.

[@TKMcClone]

Pft. I listen to audiobooks all the time while I'm playing. It's called multitasking.

[@wcw07]

Falcon yelling at muggles is one of my favorite things about Gameranx!

[@GGINTHEAM]

Falcon took this personal LOL. been watching for literally YEARS. Love all you guys 🤘🏾💯🏌🏿

[@50CeNTTTTT]

I just love it when I get a notification saying "Someone liked your comment!" or "Someone has just subscribed!" That really makes my day!🥴💭

[@BlueEyedBeast38]

Some of my fav games are graphic novels 😂 the "go read" thing always makes me laugh. I love reading too. I read Stephen King's The Stand in 2 days. But games usually are more fun to read with 😂

[@durfnut7]

Such a solid set of games to go back to. Those are my favourites to return to as well.

[@gameranxTV]

👍🏼

[@AllzaoMaximus]

Falcon going absolutely balistic over Coke and Pepsy after MOM asked if Sega was Nintendo is my favorite thing now!😂❤

[@MMKMoore1]

A video of Falcon being unhinged wasn't something I knew I needed, but I'm here for it. ❤

[@elitealice]

As someone who read at an advanced level and is considered smart, video games were definitely a big part of it. I read a lot of books growing up(still do) but I played a ton of games as well. Both were massive for my intellectual development and maturation. Playing GTA at like 5 and 6 especially lmao

[@dwaynejackson551]

I had a college reading level in fifth grade. I should read less books.

[@elitealice]

@@dwaynejackson551 that’s what’s up lol

[@IdontAce]

Lol you edited it and still messed the grammar and spelling up. It was a nice try though homie 😂

[@elitealice]

@@IdontAce what grammar and spelling? I didn’t edit anything for grammar, I added the “(still do)” bit. GOMD. Nothing is misspelt in there.

[@_blueblade]

As someone who read the ‘Lord of the Rings’ series at 7 years old and the entire Charles Dickens novel collection by 10, and attended and succeeded the entrance exams of the 3 best selective schools in the country, I can relate but not as much (due to my intellect).

[@SenraethX]

Ugh. Number 7. I had 50+ hours into Final Fantasy X when my brother accidentally wrote over my save file. Broke my heart in a small but significant way. His heartfelt sorrow, himself being every bit the gamer I am, soothed my frustration. But I couldn't go back to the game for like a year 😭 And then had to do the Lightning Plains again 😭😭😭

[@d33pr0ast]

Omg. Took my back to my childhood. My younger brother and I spent somewhere around 40 hours on Phantasy Star Online on the GameCube. That game was like a Souls game for us back then lol. Our older brother intentionally deleted our saves because he needed room for his THIRD Madden franchise. Madden, of all things. The worst part was we had three memory cards, and one was designated for Sports games. He didn't even bother checking smh. I feel your pain.

[@SenraethX]

Solidarity brother. Thankfully I never had to endure losing a save for a sports game. I can't think of anything more Maddening

[@d33pr0ast]

@@SenraethX Thanks for the pun lol

[@SenraethX]

​@@d33pr0astHaha my pleasure. At the potential cost of your well being I was also thinking to say, The only redeeming thing about sports games is at least they're Madde-n America 😅 Yeah, I'll show myself out

Brilliant as always, I grew up with JRPG and some of the older action and platformer games, really helps with critical thinking and problem solving skills.

[@DrVenture45]

Falcon makes even the most basic gaming subject entertaining. Short of playing as a hobby, some non-gamers absolutely have no clue how much a person can make in the gaming industry…whether it’s as a content providing, professional player, or in industry development. I know as a longtime gamer myself, I certainly don’t discouraged my kids from enjoying the medium.

[@bananarama3837]

Gameranx always has the best content imo

[@SecretShadow559]

This has to be one of my fave videos from y’all 🤣🤣🤣 I died at someone walking in during the cringy scenes 🤣🤣🤣

[@DC2_Danny]

Saying “it’s just a game” to calm a raging gamer down is like trying to put out a fire by spraying it with gasoline

[@shattered_helix]

My grandma on my dad's side called all vonsoles or gaming systems "The Entendr". Birthdays and Christmas was guaranteed to have at least one "I got you one of those vidya games for The Entendr."

[@FulcanMal]

Video Idea for you guys: X Things TV Shows Get Wrong About Video Games. Some examples off the top of my head: •"Mom, I'm almost on level 30'. Like most games don't even have levels anymore, let alone 30. •Someome turns away from the game without pausing but the game carries on, because they weren't really playing it. (This happens in Secret Invasion with a kid playing a racing game) I'm sure there's more to be mined here, but those are the ones off the top of my head.

[@newgirlde]

10. "Just go read a book." 9. "It's just a game. Why are you so angry?" 8. "Pause your game." (when you're playing an online game) 7. "Sorry! I deleted your save by accident." 6. Calling every console a Nintendo. 5. (??? just a continuation of 6??? Something something console wars) 4. "Just put it on easy." 3. "Videogames aren't art." 2. Anything that someone says when they walk into the room while a sexy scene is happening. 1. "Do you guys not have phones?" and other terrible press conference quotes.

[@ohbeastin5010]

#9 is 100% true. Gf gets mad yells at the tv in no more than 5 minutes. I can try all day but if I get mad. "Why are you mad its just a game" 😂 the irony

[@satansbarman]

I can't help but smile any time I hear someone mention Torment: Planescape, such an amazing game with so much story packed in 😁

[@smiddog62gaming]

Someone hurt Falcon.. I feel like number 10 and 9 happened to you recently.. the energy and frustration levels are just so different the rest of the way 😂😂

[@deafomega]

like my mom telling me games can't cheat, while the game is literally doing things you can't. like reading my inputs, instant recovery, impossible blocking...

[@gingerbeer2057]

#2, I felt that. 2013, step dad walks in on Trevor's trailer trash introduction; sex, curb-stomping and all. Needless to say, he was flabbergasted and didn't want the game in the house, anymore.

[@mehdimanca]

My brother moved up 4 reading grades in one year playing JRPGs, helping him catch up after he had been behind (in English. In Arabic, and in spoken English, he was hitting all his milestones). As for the Nintendo thing, I don't do that, but I did call the Switch "the Wii" for nearly two years...

[@SuntanSuperman8]

“Heavy up-top” stealing that one. Well done as always Falcon. 🙌🙌🤙

[@heerow6]

"Go read a book." Ok. Loads up Skyrim (the lusty argonian maid). "Wait, that's not what I meant."

[@danieldempsey8297]

Oh Ranex... dam dude you had me dieing with the Pepsi coke is Xbox and Playstation, I know you did it to get people riled up a bit but the accuracy was just to perfect 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheBattleRabbit860]

"Just put it on easy." or "Just lower the difficulty." upsets me when I'm playing my favorite genre: stealth games. I _want_ it to be hard for me to sneak by or get around, I want enemies to be more alert to my movements and spotting the bodies of their comrades. I want a _challenge_ not to just skate on through each mission.
