The addiction part of Video Games, is surprisingly missing from this discussion!
Good Quote, the Secret to happiness is flowing, not forcing.
GAMESTOP IS COLLEGE FOR SOME.
Thank you
Great speech.
Watch out sponsorship. Even money can break ted instead knowledge.
Theres a huge difference between a casual gamer, a novice gamer and a pro gamer.
Sending this to my mom
Damn, no love for fighting games.
Video games taught me english
Is this a repost? I've already watched this talk a couple of weeks ago.
This guy sounds like the justice league flash
I can imagine it all now… all the children and grown ups that have experienced parents being against gaming because they thought everyone would get delusional or addicted would definitely want to just flash this video in their faces and say: "I told you so." Or "this is proof" or similar.
Not saying that you can't get addicted to bad games too though. It depends on the game if it's useful or not. Mobile games don't teach you much (unless it's a mind related app). Good games on pc or console will teach you a lot of different things depending on the game and if it's mouse & keyboard or a controller.
Games, digital or not, are a paramount PART of education and formation. The problem starts when this is the ONLY thing that someone does. As in all things in life, balance and moderation is key.
No , CSGO only gives me headache and depression !!!
TED: video games can get you ahead in life
EA Games: i'll make a professional gambler out of you
"Investing should be more like watching paint dry or watching grass grow. If you want excitement, take $800 and go to Las Vegas." Earn 30,000$ every week from your own investment . Ask me how.
META actually stands for Most Effective Tactic Available……………
we're all just going to pretend he didn't say " adaptivity " ?
i love games too <3 finally gaming is getting a serious thing
Jesus loves you; he died on the cross for you. Salvation is a free gift by grace through faith in Jesus alone. The gospel is not about works or your own efforts. There are no strings attached. Your sins are covered through the blood of Jesus, Once you believe.
In before the basement dwellers start linking this while gaming their lives away 24/7
Now let’s see a video on how video games can set you back in life!
And Gamers Rose up
This guy understands🤝
Gamers from South Park beg to differ.
Gaming industries have also turned to crunching and eating your money though, hence video-games aren't really as enjoyable and amazingly new and creative like they were in the 90's or 2000's.
I appreciate all the skills of e-sporters . But the only problem in e-sport is that, it makes the gamer addictive; by inserting the earpods, gamer becomes completely isolated without taking care of any other responsibility or concern like eating , sleeping or listening to parents.
Patience bye bye
Politeness bye bye
Time Schedule bye bye
Me and my cell is the definition of complete world.
LIAR
Using Messi and Shak as doable example for the general population shows a tremendous ignorance regarding probability and stats.
For starters Messi was given HGH at early age, an illegal PEDs in all sports. You can train twice as hard, grow muscle mass and reduce injuries using HGH. Just look at Sylvester Stallone. Shak was 7'1 and 300 lb of massive power.
Odds of replicating any of those 2 are lower than the odds of winning the lottery. Since you can buy multiple lottery tickets you can literally say than the odds are thousands of time lower than winning the lottery.
they rly had to choose this guy to represent gamers
this video doesnt apply to u weirdchamp console players
Incredible levels of patience, repitition, and rapport.
Wena pelao
This TedTalk is really inetresting
he forgot valorant
Hahaha, if only. No if anything video games make you impatient, less resilient, and have a serious negative impact on your physical health if they replace more physical activities.
can confirm
switching to a pistol is faster than reloading even in real life
Video games taught me how to develop systems
Equitable access to technology, he just kind of glossed over that as if it wasn't a major hurdle. Being born into wealth, ie "meritocracy," is probably the single greatest determinant of success in the e-sports arena. Not to mention living on the East or West coast also gives access to ridiculously low pings, giving those players a significant advantage. I'm really curious how many professional players come from the heartland away from any major cities. I'm guessing very few. The rural part of this country has quite literally been left behind in every conceivable manner.
My parents need to watch this lol
This dude needs to get laid bad
