Got to say, love that there were 2 stories about blind gamers. I've been blind since birth, and with determination, patience, sighted friends, and a passion for play, I manage to enjoy a wide variety of games. Nothing quite as sweet as beating a sighted person at MKXL while literally facing away from the screen. We blind gamers do exist, and I for one am so glad the world is starting to notice us.
Involving seniors playing video games. So about six years ago my dad (for some reason) bought a PC that has some pretty decent specs on it. Not far after that he asked me what PC games I have. Note that his biggest experiences with video games were things like Centipede, Asteroids and Pac-Man and other arcade like games. So I decided to start him with something simple and downloaded CoD 1 & 2 onto his computer and explained how the games work. It took him almost sixteen hours of game time, which for him is over the course of at least two weeks, but he beat the first one. Now note, the man's sixty-five years old and the last time he really sat down to play a video game was the Centipede re-make on PS1. Was something of a cathartic experience to see my old man be able to have fun with a shooter and be able to beat one on normal difficulty. I know CoD 1& 2 are old games now, but it seemed like a good place to start him off. But it's nice knowing my favorite hobby could help my old man keep his noggin sharp for awhile longer.
But the final sentence was held in May. Lots of people was following this story, that was a precedent. Ruslan got 3,5 years on conditional term. So yeah you can't joke about main religions in Russia now.
Or at least about the unofficially officially state-backed church of Russia. I have several friends of different faiths over there, they tell me you really have to tread carefully over there.
5:00 When the Wii came out I got one for my grandma. She says she's felt sharper since she got it. She was super bummed she couldn't golf anymore and when she played it on the Wii she was all excited and happy. I think nursing homes should use video games as one of their therapy options.
I believe in love over a video game, i met my wife of going on 6 years now on an MMORPG and she lived 200 miles away from me. now we play Warframe, Titanfall 2, and a few other games together.
The one about dementia was really interesting for me as one of my best friends at the time quit playing video games (at least partly) because of some bullshit "study" that said that video games actually caused dementia.
That story of the little blind boy writing to Nintendo was so heartwarming there are going to be polar bears drowning in my rib cage. If gameranx does a "Most Touching Gaming Stories of 2017", most of these could be on the list.
the seniors playing games is pretty important in Massachusetts for senior centers. they make sure to offer games but arthritis prevents them from doing a lot more complicated things
1:11 I'm not sure if gameranx realises that different places on the earth goes through seasons at different time, its definitely not getting warmer here in Australia since winter just started.
Pokemon GO story is from a year ago! That guy was a law college student, an active atheist and he did this as a provocation, after he heard that you can possibly go to jail for it. As a Russian and an atheist I support that law. Imagine if a person went to a church after his beloved death and saw another person playing game or something similar(or worse).
Goku: Popo the Genieis a dark and evil soulwith a heart as black as Cell's buttcrackand destruction as his goalPopo the Geniehas a thing for LSDand each time he trips his darkness slipsinto all the children's dreamsThere must have been some evil inthe inky void of space,for it took form and substance anda terrifying face!Popo the Geniewas alive... well, maybe,for he's sometimes said,"I might be undead!"with a dark sadistic glee![Mr Popo: Hahahahaha, AAH hahahahaI know you're singing about me maggots!Gohan: I don't think I like this song dad.Goku: No one does Gohan...]Goku: He lives on Kami's Lookout and surveys the world belowhe'd destroy us all but his soul is soothedby the pot plants that he grows!Popo the Genieis an affort to God's planand when we're both gonehe will still live onin the fearful heart of man!
The whole getting arrested for playing GO in the church thing is especially hilarious to me. Cause here in the states, in my town, /every/ church in town has Pokestops and/or Gyms set up. All of them. And there's tons of them, of every religion you could imagine. We have temples too. Apparently around here the whole "pokemon is evil" argument church people made in the 90's has effectively vanished given that that they're all more than happy to help people stock up on great balls if it means they'll actually step inside their church. Personally I just go to starbucks.
Pokemon Go logic - Blocks rooted/jailbreak users from accessing the game to prevent hacking, quickly loses half of it's player base because of it, continues to get hacked the same amount. Nice.
I am nearly 50 and am an avid gamer -- at least since the early 80s, when I had an Atari 2600. For some reason I always feel like I am too old for this hobby, and I can't shake that feeling.
Hello gameranx. I am loving RE7. It reminds me of RE1/2 and MGS, shorter games that rewarded you with unlockables for multiple playthroughs and meeting certain conditions. Could you do a video comparing and contrasting shorter games like this and the more common online or open world games that are infinite. I prefer a more focused survival horror or stealth game than an endless and repetitive open world game. I love playing through the Dishonored and Deus Ex playing with all the powers and then playing through them again with no alarms and no kills. And I also love the unlocks in RE7 like the glasses and walking shoes (collectibles/speedrunning). I'm working on my madhouse playthrough to get the infinite ammo unlock. Thanks for the videos.
From the looks of it, those watches can easily be worth 500 depending on the craftsmanship and stuff (no wind, battery-less, etc). Also isn't MGS the Movie, just a remake of Escape from New York (since Snake is based on Pliskin)?
Your #9 is reported in error there, or it at least came across wrong. Its a news story that started about 8 months ago, and was sentenced finally recently. He got a suspended sentence - means no jail as long as he commits no crimes as I recall - and it was started more on his statements while in the church than the act of playing it. Which is where I feel you went off on that tangent about playing it more than the details of it. I'd cite the source I first heard it from, but I can't recall anymore. I want to say it was something from Philip Defranco's news shorts, but I am unsure.
I am glad to see that colleges are getting into the eSport scene. The more schools have to offer kids and even adults the better the experience will be for everyone. I love it.
Not all as weird as the stuff from April, but going to jail for Pokemon GO is Top 10 of the year worthy.
gameranx ye
1st
Agreed
I
concure
Red Fire Flames you are the first viewer but gameranx is the first commenter
Forget these, let's talk about how the creator of Nipples the Enchilada made the animation for the Sonic Mania Pre-Order trailer.
Wait do you mean Knuckles the Echidna or like, the ACTUAL Nipples the Enchilada?
If so that's amazing
Those rock hard fist nipples are now cannon.

I could buy a Pokémon watch like that for $10 at my local flea market
Eduardo Murillo sell it for 20k
Eva Bekkert Great that way I go to England and ask a girl I met playing Overwatch to marry me
In america you call it school shootings. In russia we call it tuesday.
Clorox Bleach Its Soviet Russia not this area called Russia. Get your facts right.
Joshua Brooks it's mother Russia
Clorox Bleach the communist movement will rise again
Actually "school shootings" is almost exclusive to America. There is no such a thing in Russia.
Oh, irony!
in russia pokemon catches u
Gameranx, You have some of the best quality content here on TH-cam! Keep up the great work :)

the Russia story is old and definitely didn't happen in May.
But the final sentence was held in May. Lots of people was following this story, that was a precedent. Ruslan got 3,5 years on conditional term. So yeah you can't joke about main religions in Russia now.
Then the idiot probably shouldn't have started screaming profanities in the Church, that is what got him in trouble after all.
Or at least about the unofficially officially state-backed church of Russia. I have several friends of different faiths over there, they tell me you really have to tread carefully over there.
5:00 When the Wii came out I got one for my grandma. She says she's felt sharper since she got it. She was super bummed she couldn't golf anymore and when she played it on the Wii she was all excited and happy. I think nursing homes should use video games as one of their therapy options.
That metal gear movie is going to keep me waiting.
Superbrodman ikr it will suck like all video game movies
Phantom Pug why ruin such a fun franchise
George Washington :(
Superbrodman no
Superbrodman
Give me a good video game movie title
I really like the one with the teenage boy born without eyes it was really truly inspiring and shows persistence in tough times. Good job man
That jail story didn't happen in may lol
Moudiz yeah didn't it happen about last year
Moudiz Exactly
TimMaNi the verdict was in may.
That one about the blind kid restored my faith that not all corporations are 100% focused on money
I believe in love over a video game, i met my wife of going on 6 years now on an MMORPG and she lived 200 miles away from me. now we play Warframe, Titanfall 2, and a few other games together.
SleepingFox the story is about me and my fiancé! Thank you for your lovely comment!
"Parents are still gonna say no to their kids playing video games."
Can confirm. Showed number 4 to my dad. "Yeah but it's still bad for kids."
Blind Gamer ftw this month. just Awesome! 😀
i just woke up and saw you uploaded the weird stories video. it's probably my favourite series on your channel.
Wasn't the Russian story really old? And to this month?
I thought that blind Japanese kid was determined and then along came the blind guy who plays fps. legends.
Did you... did you... DID YOU JUST USE A FUCKING KAZOO KID MEME IN 2017
Pancake, why, isn't that fun fun fun FUN FUN....
Pancake Hello brother
hey...let's go over here...just you...and me
you on kazoo meme* if you are going to yell about it....at least get it right.
As they say, legends never die.
This is my fav type of videos you guys post
God I want another okami game...
The one about dementia was really interesting for me as one of my best friends at the time quit playing video games (at least partly) because of some bullshit "study" that said that video games actually caused dementia.
Somebody once told me...
Dunkeh The world was gonna roll me...
THIS IS MY USERNAME I ain't the sharpest tool in the sheddd...
she was looking kinda dumb with her finger in her thumb and the shape of an "L" on her forehead
THIS IS MY USERNAME well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming...
Fed to the rules and i hit the ground running
I always feel good after watching a +Gameranx video
That pokemon watch is actually properly priced. Things that have Eevee and its evolutions on them go up exponentially in value. Just basic economics.
Sato It's not economics it's EEVEENOMICS......I'll leave now.
Kenneth Carmer hue hue
Sato Damn and I just realized looking at it again it could have been Pokenomics....this always happens when I make jokes.
The watch considering it's pedigree and design should not cost more than 75,000 dollars. 256k is just plain stupid.
Such an iconic Falcon video.
Anyone remember the Movie G-Force
Hi Gameranx love you and your content, go Falcon!!
3:25 even apple is better at pricing
i bet no one will reply
p e p e I will
p e p e I won't
So many feel good stories for May!!
That moment when you might be romantically attracted to a bird... Hi Falcon :)
EdKMusic guaranteed getting into the mile high club if you can bag him
I mean how hard is it catch a bird? Can't be that difficult.
Love ur videos just subscribed and turned on post notifications keep up the good work
Falcon, you can say 'fuck'. Really, we don't mind.
gameranx you should totally make my day and like this.
wtf happened to linkin park
So..... taking a quick walk and then going back to games will prevent me from losing my memory? YASSS! I finaly have a valid excuse to game a lot!!
3:12 wat? "Overwatch is cooly shit"?
Yer Da "cool as shit"
it's cold shit
That story of the little blind boy writing to Nintendo was so heartwarming there are going to be polar bears drowning in my rib cage. If gameranx does a "Most Touching Gaming Stories of 2017", most of these could be on the list.

Not very many things make me cry but #8 was so heart warming and made me tear up
First

Personally I just go to starbucks.
Last year when Pokémon Go was huge, churches in my area had signs that said something along the lines of "Pokémon trainers welcome."
gameranx your content is nice.
I love this entire list. Made me drop some tears
It's 2 AM and I think I just saw Ron Paul.Thank you for that meme.
ok... 1:03 creepiest Ash....Ever! lol
Also -- Love watching these videos - still got to go waaaay back and "catch up" lol
Forgive me if I am wrong but, wasn't that Pokemon GO in a church story 1 month after it came out?
Tausif Islam It was but apparently the verdict was delivered this month.
Hey GameRanx, Can you do a video on how game developers patch glitches.. I'm very interested I can't seem to find any videos on that topic!!
gameranx Question: do you have your own playlist for your youtube background music? if so id be very appreciative if you could share it
Wrist watches make it "okay" for a man to wear an expensive bracelet.
YAY! I wait all month for this.
Pokemon Go logic - Blocks rooted/jailbreak users from accessing the game to prevent hacking, quickly loses half of it's player base because of it, continues to get hacked the same amount.
Nice.
wud up jake, falcon, andrew the new guy and other gameranx crews!
This episode made me happy for some reason :D
Jake's eyes in the comic bit at the end show so much pain, maybe someone told him to pause an online game?
Falcon, buddy did the elderly section strike close to home for you? To me if seemed like you were getting a little upset.
Gameranx, do you think Life is strange 2 will make an appearance at e3 due to its recent announcement
I am nearly 50 and am an avid gamer -- at least since the early 80s, when I had an Atari 2600. For some reason I always feel like I am too old for this hobby, and I can't shake that feeling.

My favorite parts the fact it fights dimensia and that there is a scholarship
Literally got chills at the mention of an MGS: movie, not sure if that's good or bad.
Scary Joker 99.9999999999 chance itsbad
7 minutes for 5 seconds of Okami was worth it!
do you play the punisher video game
that blind kids story is so heartwarming
I thought I saw an orange headed twonk. Props to gameranx for putting Karl "the man" Pilkington in the vid!
The way to beat the blind gamer, carry a air horn lol
if i lose to a dude with no eyes in a game...I'd never pick up a controller again
From the looks of it, those watches can easily be worth 500 depending on the craftsmanship and stuff (no wind, battery-less, etc).
Also isn't MGS the Movie, just a remake of Escape from New York (since Snake is based on Pliskin)?

If Kojima is not directing it, it will never be a true Metal Gear Solid movie.
I already knew about the dementia part, what I really need is a way to get my father to play
metal gear solid movie could be a chance to have a really deep and philosophical dialog on the politics of war. i'm all for it.
Watches are expensive based on the material, brand, type of watch (eg chrono) and of course how it looks on a wrist.
2:44 They met over ONLINE WAR GAMES,AND IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER IT SAYS ITS OVERWATCH
