He's right it's not just a game. It's Halo
Wake up John...
Master chief, you mind telling me what you're doing in McDonald's?

Dear, Jay and Jill. Thank you guys for bringing this up. Entertainment is WAY more than people give it credit for wether it be games, comics/manga, tv shows, movies, music etc… has helped me personally and so many many people. This media can positively change peoples lives for the better and even save them as you pointed out. Give us courage and hope in very dark times. So many stories and examples from DBZ inspiring people to workout or this movie/game giving someone hope to push on and through. I just wanted to say I appreciate you guys, and thank you for covering this topic 😄
I’d say a few games that ended up changing my life was Detroit Become Human, Knights of the Old Republic, Mario Kart and most importantly Persona 5 Royal! Persona 5 Royal helped me see life from a different perspective and helped me get more in touch with myself!
The game that made me change my life and get myself outthere and make friends
Was The last of us
And that let me to find a good friend who motivated me to work hard and workout
And i can see myself in ellie
The relationship she has with joel
Thats me and my mom
And i now appreciate family more than before
So yea they can change lives
Really cool to hear about and read. It's really cool to see how much that affected you and the empathetic connection you had with the characters!
@@DegenerateJay yea its kinda weird that i see myself more in a female character than in a male character but it really doesnt matter
It deeply moved me to a point that i started to change my life style
I rarely talked to anyone
I didnt workout (i was 86 kg now im 75)
Im building up muscles
I love the ppl around me more than before
I study harder i work harder
Im wiser than i was before i undetstand ppl more i help ppl with theyre issues
And idk where i would be if i didnt play the last of us
Maybe its not exactly the same but being able to play games with my friends has definitely brought me some good times when I really needed the most.
Games provide a break from reality so that you're not overwhelmed with you daily problems. It also provides you with examples of individuals who overcome hardship and improve themselves. And multiplayer games can boost your self-esteem trough victories over other players.
Was not expecting to tell everyone how you met that’s a story of how cyberstalking and Batman can save your life
The games we play, the stories we experience. It helps us learn and grow. Like watching the assassins overcome their issues helping us learn that we can move on we can be better. Kratos showing us the story of a man who lost everything and went on a quest for revenge and now regrets ever doing it. The infamous games showing us how Cole sacrifices himself for the greater good. These games change our lives. The experiences we go through help us deal with real problems. Also I like cheese pizza
Yes I absolutely agree, The World Ends With You on the DS single handedly changed the course of my life. It made me see the world in a different light during the hardest part of my life. I realized I wasn’t alone in my feelings and only a game could have done. The progress part of a game is a big part of why games mean so much to us, we are going on the journey with the characters. I’m glad other people can understand and articulate what that feeling is like so thanks for this. My favorite pizza is Pepperoni
Because of your ending in this video my favorite pizza is whatever tastes good to me as long as you're buying.
Saints Row started my journey of pimping hoes, smoking weed, chugging brew, and riding around the city with my homies looking for a opp to smoke.
This is one of the best videos you guys have made. I loved listening to your stories
Video games are life
My favorite kind of pizza is deffintly "Ristorante Pizza Mozzarella". Its an frozen Italian style pizza and the pesto is so good!
Not only do I feel empathetic toward ppl who not only had a game change their lives but I feel even more empathetic and sad when said ppl are older and don’t have a way to access it in the modern day. I can personally relate as a Sly Cooper fan and MvC1/2 fan hoping we can experience those games in the modern day via rerelease but great video tho
Can't believe a week later you talk about the exact topic that I just read
I also won't reveal the names or tags but it was a nice conclusion to a sad but relatable story.
I 100% agree. I think too often people just dismiss video games and that’s because they don’t play them themselves and think of them as childish. I’m sure there was a time when people thought the same way about books and movies when they were first invented. The reason I love video games so much is because more than any other kind of media, you can interact with it. You can literally put yourself in the world and interact with it (as much or as little as the developers intended.) It gives ideas and thoughts even more inspiration, so when someone cuts down this fact it’s like they’re cutting me. I have no idea where I’d be without video games, considering they played a part with my father and I before he passed. Shout out to OG Star Wars
Battlefront 1 & 2. I also believe video games are legitimate works of art, considering the insane amount of time that goes into development. So when half-baked comments surface, they’re not only under-cutting your personal experience, but also under-cutting and under-valuing someone’s job, someone’s livelihood. All in all, I truly believe that games can change people’s lives and that they deserve more recognition and praise, rather than scolding and criticism. If you don’t like the game you don’t have to play it. Also, my favorite kind of pizza is pepperoni, sausage, ham, and bacon. Keep up the great content and work Jay and Jill!
And also, you are a legend, spreading awareness about topics like this and other things that people may not hear about.
Video games have shaped my life so much. I've bonded with people across the world and in my personal live over them since I started my journey with the original Wii Sports when I was 6.
If i were to say a game changed my life, it'd probably be Dragon Quest XI S. It gave me easily one of my favorite protagonists of all time through a story about going above and beyond what it means to be a hero even with the whole world against you. Really empowering stuff.
Dang these ninjas chopping onions! 😭On that note, I like onions on my pizza, especially on a deluxe topping pizza. Yum! 😋
this video made me remember about when i was 12? i think,anyway my Grandma passed away and she was like my best friend and the Skylanders series as predatory they are about collecting figures they got me through that very dark time and i was so sad when the series ended and another time when i was 6 or 7 i was a very sickly child and i had to have surgeries a lot but the games Pokepark,Ben 10 protector of earth,and Bakugan battle brawlers really helped me be brave and helped with not be so depressed.
Assassins creed Changed my life it made me get into shape and I even learned Parkour as a result
I'm happy that you guys found happiness together with the help of Batman game. And also my favorite pizza is stuffed crust pepperoni.
Resident evil silent hill changed me when I was 7 it showed me that you can't trust people and to buy Lego star wars
👍 thats true and some good advice XD
I will say video games and gaming in general can definitely sometimes have a impact on others and yourself depend on what type of games you are into or interested in just my quick thought
As a someone that's physically disabled and does admit to self-loathing and the desire to die, I get this. A few years ago I admitted this to my dad and he gently tossed a knife and said do it then. Mass Effect 3's opening still breaks my heart. Watching that little boy die and Shepherd's face knowing they can do nothing still makes me cry. What I see is my brother's son and my baby sister's little boy and that just makes me want to beat the Reapers with everything I have every time. The Assassins mantra of "Nothing is true, Everything is permitted" is the closest thing to religion I have because I get what it's saying. And finally pepperoni and bacon topped pizza
Red dead 2 made me get a brown jacket
That does sound life changing to me 🤠
Cool to see Yu-Gi-Oh get some love, that's how I met my best friend. I was in 10th grade and my mom suggested I join the club at a library down the street from my high school. I hit it off with most of the people there, but my eventual best friend and I really hit it off because for a time we were the only people from our high school going to that club.
The amount of great memories I have playing video games feels like too many to count. Playing split screen multiplayer in MW3 with my Dad and brother, or my brother and cousins, or split screen spec ops with another cousin, playing Skate 3 with my brother, showing my Dad or one of my cousins the story of Assassin's Creed 2 as I played it, watching my babysitter play Jak 2 and 3, making up stories in Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3, helping my brother complete Batman Arkham Knight and accidentally spoiling it in a moment of frustration, I should stop now before I completely drown in nostalgia. Point is, I agree, good vid.
Edit: BLT pizza. Yes I commented this before finishing, to make it even funnier, I paused the video only about a minute or two before you said comment your favorite pizza.
To be honest I don't have anything too crazy profound but a simple conversation with a friend of mine in 6th grade where we talked about video games in the hallway introduced me to gaming with other people. Really I would just play single player games or online games by myself but the simple question my friend asked me "Do you have a playstation 4?" got me in to gaming with a large group of friends. Also I like pepperoni
Thankfully, I don't have any life-saving stories about video games but I would be a very different person without games.
Even still it's art, they can teach you things, make you meet new friends, and stuff they are awesome
i used to be bullied everyday at school and i diden't have supportive friends so the only thing that made me happy was playing sly 2 and lego batman. those are the best ps2 games ive ever playd!
Its been awhile since I commented but, I got to help my boy with the TH-cams algorithm. I can relate to this and I think this topic really can help/bring people together. Thanks for being here Jay been here since 5.5k and late congratulations on 100k!
My favorite is meat lovers
Love your videos and talks like these ty
You’re (both) right it’s more than just a game
And fyi kids are “pet humans” lol jk
Lmao I appreciate the comment and also thank you very much for the kind words!
I had a similar experience with me and my dad playing Tony hawk together
Silent Hill 2 helped me through a really rough patch in my life a year ago. I had been going through a dark age already at that point but that game really helped kick start my recovery. I lost a lot of people that meant a lot to me. 2020 was a really shitty year for me. Kind of ironic given how messed up that game is. Media isn’t disposable.
I don't think I would have ever gotten into rock/metal music and met so many cool people if it wasn't for Doom 2016. I beat the game went to a t-shirt shop and thought the band Slayer had something to do with the Doom Slayer lol. So I bought it listened to the band and have been hooked ever since.
Jay and Jill thx for sharing your stories with us😁
Supreme is my favorite
Thank you for the kind words and good choice!
Really great video, some games can really be comforting and made with love, wheras some are all about stealing money
Meatlovers is love, meatlovers is life. Although I wouldn't mind being dogpiled by a bunch of people who like video games also. I've never personally had a, for want of a better phrase, life or death experience like the guy in the post, however I did meet my best friend through Batman Arkham Knight
Your story about the Yu-Gi-Oh movie reminded me of when I went to see the first Avatar in theaters. There was a guy in front of me had a Naruto jacket. Like the same kind of Jacket the character wore. He even had the head band. Didn’t become friends with him or anything. Just thought it was kinda funny
My favourite pizza is BBQ Chicken. And the Arkham games made me a massive nerd.
I don't blame you at all lol, I'm in the same boat as yours
My favorite pizza is chicken and Ham and veggies yes it's not just a game funny enough last few months depressed I the I was just bored of games and movies and anime nothing cheered me up no food no snacks I was sad but one day I play resident evil 4 the story was really good the gameplay was really good and the characters were really good and then when I beat the game it had more stuff to offer like the side story and I loved it too it's because of this game I start falling in love again like I was a kid again and now resident evil 4 is my fourth favorite game of all time
My goal is always to be happy. If you're not happy then what're doing? Obviously that doesn't mean you should ummmm.... You know. You can't be happy when you're gone. You're just gone. You can always find happiness. Gaming has been that for many, many, many, many, many, many, many people.
Barbecue Pizza is my favorite! Nah I’m jk, 3 meat pizza is definitely the best (pepperoni, beef, bacon) but I’m choosing barbecue because 1, I want to be different, and 2, I feel like it’s quite underrated! I’m on a diet rn so I can’t have any 😭🤔
It’s not just a game it’s a window in to stalking a small TH-camr
Meatloaves pizza and max Payne 3 changed my life I was going through a hard time and the begining of the game I was like ya max is right the world does suck but at the end I seen life is good you can change just because your going through a dark time the sun will rise max taught me hope
My best friend's girlfriend was about to take her life until she realized she hasn't played Mario Odyssey yet....
Thanks Mario Odyssey for saving her life. She's a really cool person.
Jill and Jay are so Great .
This should be a 10 million view video
And supreme.
Pepperoni pizza is my favourite
First and foremost, Triple Meat Pizza with Mushrooms and Olives 😂😅
But the game that changed my life most recently was Sid Meier’s Civilization 6. I first found it at a time where I was just about to consider getting my autism diagnosis (which I now officially have been diagnosed as having) and I felt like I couldn’t do anything right and that I was just an absolute moron, but the more I play Civ 6, the smarter I feel. I actively feel like I’m optimizing correctly and that I’m getting smarter every time I load up a new map with a new leader.
Thank you for asking cool questions for your viewers, you guys are the best💙😌
The game that changed my life the most:
Mass Effect
I think a big thing about why people dismiss video games is because they're called "games". TBH I think most of the people who would say "it's just a game" are also sinking countless hours into an endless stream of shows on Netflix.
I think Mass Effect, Dishonored, and Deus Ex are the games that really made me love the medium. Mass Effect stuck with me the most that I was roleplaying as Garrus in a D&D campaign where the DM decided to insert Mass Effect characters (when he found out what I was doing), but he got mad at me for correcting his descriptions of a Krogan. I explained they have humps with water and nutrients like camels, not hunchbacks. He yelled at me "They don't know that! They're not xenobiologists!"
As for my favorite pizza... I actually don't eat cheese, so my go-to is a thick crust cheeseless pizza with pepperoni, salami, sausage, mushroom, and black olives.
You can probably tell things are difficult when I go out to eat.
Thank you
The game that changed my life the most for me is Life is Strange I played this game for the first time back in 2020 and before I played this game I was really dealing with a lot of identity issues when it came to my sexuality and growing up in a Christian household I was taught all of that was a sin and it caused me to have serious depression that I felt like I couldn’t talk to anyone about. And this game really taught me that you shouldn’t let religion bring you that much shame and guilt over anything. The character of Kate Marsh shows this perfectly as she felt shame in the game for what she did and became extremely depressed. I also learned through this game that there is nothing wrong with being bi or any other part of the lgbtq community and it can and should be normal. This game truly changed my life and without it I wouldn’t be where I am today. Also my favorite pizza is meat lovers.
Favorite pizza is chicken, Zucchini and three cheeses
for me the game that saved my life was Rdr 2 I could get lost in that game for hours
Nothing deep to add so....mushroom and bacon
Non-gamers might think that I am crazy, but _Final Fantasy VII_ and _Batman: Arkham_ series changed my life, especially the latter. Arkham moved me so much that a decade ago, it was the only thing I talked about with my friends to the point that they just wanted me to shut up for years. I was this missionary passing on the Gospel to everyone, and I proselytized two friends into Batfans. I successfully converted two dudes into fans of the Arkham series. I listened to the soundtrack of each installment like a pensive congregation listens to psalms. (Fun fact: while most of my friends were listening to _Blinding Lights_ two years ago, but my top Spotify song of 2020 was _Aerith's Theme_ .)
When Batman said "you are about to find out" to Oswald, I felt goosebumps. When Joker said "me? IN A THONG?!" in _Asylum_ , I bellowed with laughter. One of my classmates would creepily tell me "heads or tails, kitty-cat?", and I would scream "TWO GUNS, B**CH!". These dialogues felt so iconic to me that speaking them felt like quoting commandments from arcane scriptures.
Prior to _Arkham Asylum_ , I had never played a stealth game, so not only did Arkham introduce me to the stealth genre but also to the _Metal Gear Solid_ series, which is known as the great who-is-the-almighty-boss-grand-daddy of the genre. A poster of _Asylum_ in the November 2009's issue of the PlayStation Magazine piqued my curiosity, and I head out to TH-cam to see what was the big deal about it. The first ever video pertaining to this legendary franchise I saw was the walkthrough of the Silent Knight challenge map (from a channel that was perhaps called "AnEvilBowlOfCereal"; I am a little foggy). Within the first minute of that video, Batman toggled detective mode, grappled on to a gargoyle, silently dropped and crouched on a catwalk, and subdued an armed henchman. Just a handful of those moves in a minute sold me on the game. This sort of gameplay is not special or groundbreaking in any way today (and even not so much in that time), but I knew in less than a minute of that vid that this game is going to be unlike anything I had previously played. Just a fraction of a minute was enough to convince me that I was in for a hitherto unseen Batman experience.
It is also the best Zeldalike series in my opinion. Those who say that _Breath of the Wild_ is the best Zelda game should try _City_ and _Knight_ .
It's not just a game. It's an emotion, a memory, a parable, an experience, a world, and a subject of thoughtful discussions and debate.
Great video, by the way.
I tossed my games, cards and lego collection cuz my mom was into the bible and told me i needed to get rid of childish thing if i wanted to grow up and it sent me down a spiral from my early teens till my early adult hood. Having a child changed me but it still sucks not having those things cuz it effected me so bad.
Could not agree more
I mean games are an art form. Just like other forms of art they can help reflect emotions in some ways. Of course I don’t mean all games are this way. Still though people can come form bonds over them.
like one time there is an earthquake that happened in may school but it wasn't like threat level earthquake but then when I went home I was scared then when I trund on vice city all may fear and trouble went away
