37 Life Lessons From Video Games

[@mavethorel742]

This was so great. A lesson ibe learned is not everything that says its better is better do your research for your "style of gameplay" Like in Division just because the SMG is better level than your Sniper dosent mean its better for you. Sometimes that promotion you think you want isnt what fits best for you

[@WavesNGames]

@@mavethorel742 what a great point!

[@jaredbatemon9589]

[@WavesNGames]

Dude, seeing you comment on this warms my heart! Thank you for the kind words!

[@DiskCart]

@@WavesNGames this would have taken me dayyyyyys to make. You are an artist man

[@WavesNGames]

@@DiskCart it did take me dayyyys haha. But it felt like a video that I needed to make

[@lordxibalba825]

Great life lessons, gaming makes us all better.

[@WavesNGames]

That's why couch co-op games are so fun! Gaming makes us all better. Except when you throw a controller at your brother. Don't do that haha.

[@lordxibalba825]

@@WavesNGames well if you do have to throw a controller you at least know how to aim at your brothers glowing weak points.

[@WavesNGames]

@@lordxibalba825 spinning the positive, I like it!

Fantastic video

[@WavesNGames]

Thank you! I hope at least one of these life lessons stick with you.

[@JChipShow]

My favorite life lesson that games have taught me is don't be afraid of what's on the other side, when you're opening a door in Resident Evil you could enter a safe room or there could be a monster either way, face your fears head on

[@WavesNGames]

Adding this to my list! Great insight J-Chip.

[@RetroTiburon]

Great video, Waves! Lots of good life lessons.

[@WavesNGames]

Thanks for checking it out RT! Hopefully some stick with you.

[@mr.mulletgaming]

Fantastic! I got a chill. I enjoyed this so much!

[@WavesNGames]

@@mr.mulletgaming I'm so glad that this is responding with everyone! I didn't expect chills.

[@lbatemon1158]

11 hits home as I messed up my back. Can't let that pain stop me from adventuring!

[@WavesNGames]

@@lbatemon1158 pull the arrow out and get moving!

[@GenerationPixel]

Some great points, though I should point out the bottom part of your thumb is for Cross and the top part for Square 😉

[@WavesNGames]

@@GenerationPixel such a Sony Pony haha. Thanks for checking out the video.

[@DoYouNerd]

That #3. lol #6 fully agree. #10--this is something I also agree on and it annoys me to no end to hear the excuse "living in the moment." It's possible to do both and trust me, your future self will appreciate you the sooner you realize and act upon that. #13--and what about a LOT of extra effort? Stop gatekeeping videogames--1 billion % yes to this people!

[@WavesNGames]

It's easy to love your own kids but I swear, other people's kids are the most infuriating thing in the world! You are the poster child for taking more pictures! A lot of extra effort kind of wraps around and you end up back at low effort. It's best to not over exert yourself. And yes! They're games. Just have fun with them.

[@LindaTheGAMERGal]

This. Is. Awesome.

[@WavesNGames]

Thanks Linda! Do you have any Life Lessons you've picked up along the trail ;) ;)

[@IowaRetroGamerDad]

Such a pretty Peter... Oh I mean. 1987! Wooohoo!! lol

[@WavesNGames]

Awe schucks Zak!

I love #21

[@WavesNGames]

There's are so many times where I've thought "i need to get all of [insert collection piece]" only to stop and ask myself, why?

[@RetrocartCollector]

Really fun watch and really inspiring. Very well done! 🎉🤙

[@WavesNGames]

@@RetrocartCollector Thank you for checking out the video! I'm glad you found it to be inspirational.

[@RetroRivals]

Man I loved this so much. I feel so bad it took me over a week to watch it. More than a few of these I really needed to hear and The Last of Us one made me laugh 😂

[@WavesNGames]

@@RetroRivals I'm so glad that it made you laugh. I worried that it wouldn't go over well haha. And I'm glad it took you this long to watch it, now it will get an algorithmic bump 😂

[@dfunited1]

#38 The princess is in another castle. Dont let shifting goalposts discourage you from achievement. #39 Don't be afraid to button-mash. You might stumble into new tools or strategies.

[@WavesNGames]

@@dfunited1 oh dang I really like those! Especially #38. So many times a shifting goal post throws people so far off they can't complete their goals.

[@ducklops]

Really good video man - great editing! You earnt a subscriber!

@@JUANORQUIO thanks for checking out the video!

[@IowaRetroGamerDad]

Btw. I think arrow to the knee meant marriage. lol. Such a big hiccup to life! hahaha

[@WavesNGames]

No way, marriage is just the scroll that holds the new quest! I should say a GOOD marriage isn't the hiccup.

[@WavesNGames]

Dude I just realized that the phrase "took an arrow to the knee" means you knelt down and proposed marriage. Lol IDK why I thought you were bashing marriage in general. I'm so silly 🤦🏼

[@8BitGlitch79]

Absolutely beautiful

[@WavesNGames]

@@8BitGlitch79 wow thank you. I really wasn't sure what the reception would be on this video but it seems to have really resonated.
