Informative Speech about Gaming Addictions

[@karatewoman4]

We watched this in my public speaking class and I kept fan girl squealing to myself when runescape was mentioned.

[@MishDawg75]

Sorry for not keeping in touch with your post. That is funny indeed =]

[@alkanrs]

Shit I spent 1200 days on runescape Thas my bad

[@MishDawg75]

Did I get a view from AlkanDaBoss? RoundSquareOval? Wow I never thought this video would reach your eyes. Ive seen most of yours. Keep up the record speeds mate!

[@alkanrs]

MishDawg75 haha awesome, good job my man

[@MidnightNoir]

our english teacher showed this to us as an example for Informative Speech :D

[@MishDawg75]

That is warming news =] Thank you for the update. I am glad people are using this for educational purposes! Whether good or bad-

[@elenabogdan3874]

Hello, I teach public speaking in College, and am a public speaker, myself. Your speech was excellent, and I see why you are considered one of the best speakers at your school.You are engaging, fun, have great eye contact and body language, use humor, and relate well to your audience. That's just to name a few of your great qualities. Keep it up, Mr. MishDawg, but not with the on line gaming! (smiling).

[@MishDawg75]

All you have to do is keep people interested and make them want to listen to you. Acting energetic and adding things to laugh about get the attention of many people. Also give the speech as if you were telling a story, not earning a grade. You know the information. Deliver it the best way you can =-]

[@Zoro_B_Lost]

I have always wondered why do some people dislike great videos? is it just to feel like they stand out.

[@blitzbeast16]

i maybe a few years late on this comment, but the video i thought was quite interesting, actually kept me hooked til the end.

[@MishDawg75]

Thank you very much. I had many other speeches similar to this type of delivery style but they were lost in a fire before I could upload them =[

[@MasiehXD]

I really like this video man, Respect for being so honest about your gaming addiction. Great informative video!

[@MishDawg75]

Thank you, although I did this long ago, I have since continued giving speeches on various topics including major video games and sports. Due to recent popularity of this video I would be encouraged to start uploading more, but all my saved videos were lost in a recent fire >.

[@emilyairs5113]

Runescape is not an addiction... It's a lifestyle! I really enjoyed your speech 10/10!

[@Fjerid]

I just calculated and discovered that i've spent more then 1200 hours playing league of legend. That's one game, i have played over 5 to 6 mmo(rpgs) in the last 6 years. Last week I picked up my guitar and started learning a track, smells like teen spirit by nirvana and after 3 hours i could almost play the whole thing. Imagen if i had spent those hours to playing guitar or just a sport. I'd be one fucking expert at it.... fml.

[@FinSituation]

If you have enjoyed the games and playing them, then that is not time wasted, it it?

[@Fjerid]

FinSituation "Enjoyed" roughly 60-70% of that time played was the time me being obsessed about becoming higher and very annoyed by every little mistake my team mates make and start raging. It was rather a goal seeking and achieving than enjoying it.

[@FinSituation]

Fjerid Goals and achievements are important in life. If you spent your time raging on clanmates/friends then yes, time wasted. For me the reward of 99's or bossing or pking (not pking anymore though) is good enough to not make the worse parts waste of time.

[@Fjerid]

FinSituation But in the end, here I am. Wasted that time, regretting everything. Wondering what kind of car i'd be driving if i worked instead or sport i'd be good in. Or something that matters in real life. But I guess it depends on who you are. Some find gaming more important than real life, I suppose.

[@FinSituation]

Fjerid Gaming is real life, you experience it, you live it, you do the things in it. Just because it isn't physical doesn't mean it's not real life, since it's you who does the work there. It's you who makes the joke in the clan chat for example. Its the real you, with real people. Sad to hear you spent time doing something you don' like. Why would you do that then? If you enjoyed it back when you did it, it was worth it. I doubt you would have enjoyed working more.

[@MishDawg75]

All you have to do is stay calm. Of course everyone gets nervous in some sort of way when talking in front of people. But getting nervous is a good thing. That means people are willing to listen to you and you have a chance to send them information. you know all the information. A few breaths and telling yourself that your speech will rock will get you through it. I would recommend you practice a few times in front of a mirror or camera and work on adding comedic parts. Good luck!

[@TaiLNeT]

i love making people laugh, but not giving speeches. when i used humor in speeches, it became something i now love :)

[@TheSportEffective]

Thanks man, I was part of the only few people in my yeargroup to get full marks and an A*, only one in my class to get full marks

[@MishDawg75]

It is a response that my teacher used in substitution of clapping. We had a thin wall that divided our neighboring class.

[@elizabethungraceful]

I am doing my speech on video gaming addiction in 2 weeks. I am also a victim of the MMORPG addiction. Good to know I am not alone.

[@pfcwilson1313]

I'm having to evaluate this presentation for my speech class. Good job man.

[@MishDawg75]

Wow, that is awesome! I am just... Speechless. hahah!

[@sviatoslavliudvikovskyi5682]

Man that attention getter is the best one I've ever seen, I play MMORPGs as well so was laughing through the video, I'm going to use your speech for the discussion in my online speech class. By the way I think i spent much more than 96 days on WoW

[@chimmimonkey123]

I have to cite your sources for a school activity but I can't find them. Could you help me and just tell me the websites or whatever you used?

[@babywalrus3887]

using this for class; whew .-.

[@MishDawg75]

Thank you very much Baby Walrus!

[@layo116]

Great Speech, i was hooked on and kept focused the whole time. i'm doing mine about the same topic tomorrow (6/25/2015). as i see in you'r comments u were in HS and College i have the same thing here. well nice speech this really motivated me. P.s. where u wearing gaming headset since you didn't really mention them or was it more for credibility?

[@TheSportEffective]

You've partially inspired me to do a similar speech. I'm quite good at speeches I've been told, but I'm not feeling as amazing as usual so any motivational tips?

[@Violetstrike]

You were very inspirational my friend is also addicted to video games.

[@Zonekiller24]

This was amazingly hilarious and awesome! I too played runescape and understood everything you said. Great Speech! I would suggest you try Starcraft 2, its an amazing RTS game. oh yeah and whats with the snapping at the end? lolz

[@sangzzikun]

Thanks for uploading. I liked it

[@justforgames4257]

hey u there ? I wanna use ur vid for my assignment, but i cant find the structure of ur speech, the beginning, body and ending. would u help me pls ? :D

[@MishDawg75]

+Justfor Games Thank you very much for expressing your interest in wanting to use my speech for you assignment. You may certainly use this for class. The intro is at the beggining (obviously =p) , When u hear the quote "According to. . ." that indicates a transition to another part of my speech. The structure of this speech is interesting in contrast to a typical speech. It has an Intro, an "according to. . ." (quote from and article), then a staggering fact about the overall topic, then more about me and how the topic relates to me (you could also relate yourself to the staggering fact), then another "according to. . . " then a staggering fact, then more about how the topics relates to me, then a final staggering fact and wrap up or summation of speech of how its pertains to me and reciting 1-3 small summaries of the speech. I hope this helped.

[@justforgames4257]

+MishDawg75 thanks for ur answer, sory for late reply. im gonna use ur video for my speech review assignment.

[@MishDawg75]

Its not so bad. Public speaking can be fun.

[@Ethereal_Brush]

Amazing speech my brotha lol we share the same addiction! (:

[@Suerte2312]

a lively conversational attention grabbing speech! I really liked it.

[@zerotube9776]

This is awesome!! You fucking rule bro

[@DashingDaingCredibles]

This is nice...sir, may I have the permission to use this in one of my lectures in the classroom?Please.thanks.

[@MishDawg75]

+Crisanto Daing of course you can! Thank yo for taking the time to watch my video =]

[@maniacbane2063]

[@faisalnurjaman7913]

[@MishDawg75]

Thanks!

[@CoolGamer]

nice vid bro

[@fbimember7814]

Hey can i use this speech to my class ? It is okay ??

[@MishDawg75]

I believe you may use this as an example video in your class if you wish. If you attempt to recreate this speech and give it yourself I also give you permission. Just remember to credit your sources ;]

[@princeosei-kwarteng4627]

hey bro i really like you speech and i wasnt to use it. can you show me where you got some of the facts from.

[@DerAlleinTiger]

Am I the only one who thought that the bozos laughing about the Farmville part completely missed the point? Yes, it is mildly humorous in a dark sort of way, but a 3-year-old child was KILLED by their MOTHER because they were crying while she was playing a Facebook game. Obviously, he did this for the shock value with a dark humor twist, but I found the way in which they laughed very inappropriate and indicative of them completely missing the point. Damn do I hate my generation.

[@MishDawg75]

I know exactly what you mean. I did it to spread the message of how bad it can become. The the way in which I delivered it was also not the most effective to have a serious impact. I take more of the blame on this one.

[@PatrykFracz]

Do you still play rs?

[@MishDawg75]

I started an account on legacy servers and OSRS and it is pretty fun. I dont play as much as I use to and now i am much more efficient with my play time.

[@zReAp3Rr]

[@MishDawg75]

[@josephcarriker530]
