Dan Bull - How gaming saved my life REACTION

[@Freeced]

I LOVE when Dan Bull goes deep. I feel like he has so much to say and it all comes out on these tracks.

[@WhitShiro]

Yes

[@knowlesy3915]

He's phenomenal, if I hate super smash Bros was about a relationship break up or a loss, he'd be world famous outside of of the OL community.

It's hard to judge a person over where they're from, what nationality they are, what the color of their skin is, who they love, how they identify, when one meets them online. And when one does it's rapidly clear we're all just people. I played world of warcraft for a couple of years(TBC till I defeated heroic Firelands with a few breaks in between). Being from Belgium I played with South-Africans, Greece, Turks, Israelis, etc. All incredibly normal people. Played with engineers, students, 14 years old and house wives. I still have opinions on groups and cultures, but on the individual you really can't judge anything but their behavior as DB said. Few things are better to explain say, gravity in space, than Kerbal Space Program.(yea yea, not exactly the same, I know) Or how vassals worked in many of the grand strategy games out there. Also, English. You don't want to know how long it takes somebody who can't read English to get HM03/HM04 or get in the city for the psychic badge back when I played red/blue when I was 7.

The greatest about video games is that everybody starts socially on the same playing field. You can't see race, can't immediately tell where they're from, or even if they're male or female. People are able to build personas, build who they want to be. I know it sounds like you're living a lie, but for many thats the only see they look forward to. In real life, I'm just your average everyday asian dude, but on Maplestory I'm a level 200 Dark Knight who is an absolute monster.

One of my favorite gaming memories was playing on a Minecraft server with another American, an Egyptian, an Aussie and a European. Great guys. People seem to get along fine when they can't prejudge, helps when the only thing you know is they enjoy the same game.

True... Back then, I was a heavy introvert. The thought of talking to people is enough to make me frozen and shaking. Only in online/lan games I could "speak out"... My first online friend was from a thread on MiRC about manga/comic, we talked a lot because we have so many in common (especially in preferences). Turns out he was from the next town so we ends up meeting up IRL and became "real friends" until today. :) *sweet memories*

One of biggest and most important lessons gaming taught me and reinforced was never give up. Like in Dark Souls, no matter how many times Ornstein skewers your ass, or Gywyn burns you to cinders, you get back and try again, changing your strategy slightly, learning from the previous run. Games taught me to welcome failure not as a dead-end or a wrong attempt but a learning process. You onyl truly failed if you give up.

Crazy thing for me was I learned English im German and I learned English through Minecraft because I had it on English and I was seven that was so crazy for my

[@HenSt-gz7qj]

similar to my experience , I started learning Japanese because I accidentally bought a Japanese version of Final Fantasy VIII and Front Mission III back in PSX days (and I can't refund it because its 2nd hand item)... and I was 11yo back then. Learnt to read and write both katakana and hiragana in 2 weeks, a few kanji words in a months, and by the 3rd months I can (more or less) understand the option/choices in the game :D (with a bit of help of english-japanese dictionary and kanji dictionary)

[@camelthegamer7165]

Then, how you learned english. "Movies." Now, how you learned english. "Video games." Smell that, that's the smell of victory in the morning, smells like napalm.

NGL I did cry a bit to this song it hit so hard

[@why5482]

Did anyone else make the discovery that making glass was the same procedure as in Minecraft and tell all their friends when they were younger?

[@outlawgameroutlawgamer]

I still have my ps2 and my first tv games

[@camelthegamer7165]

A pair of people who met in GTA:O re-created a selfie they took in the game IRL... Fuck man, I couldn't get a plane ticket from anyone who called me a friend IRL, nor would I expect one from friends made in-game. For a fellow gamer, I'd buy a ticket.
