Original starcraft and wc3 were my shit. I could play use map settings starcraft modes, specifically poker d for hours. Me and my friend would play all summer even semi recently like 5 years ago. I'd go on at 6 or 7pm and play a match or two. Then I'd finally decide to eat dinner, but put it off for one more game. Then birds would start chirping and I think "what kind of bird chirps at like 9pm--"(finally glances at clock) its 5am. Every single night or cloudy day that would happen because mnly reference of time was subconcious from the light from my window. SC and WC3 were so euphoric and engaging my mind would leave time and space and reach moksha. It's so sad. Blizzard was respectable and amazing. Like the Daniel day Lewis of video game companies. Always giving 100 percent, completely encapsulating themselves in the worlds they are creating, full dedication and appreciation of the arts, and putting quality over quantity. The dedication was unreal. Their balancing was like einstein compared to other strategy games. Like a perfect equation. The thought and time gone into it was that of a master watchmaker in the 1700s making a pocketwatch for the king. Every small mechanism precise. Now blizzard sold out vis Activision and it's all coasting on legacy, halfassing it and micro transactions. Their downfall began with world of warcraft being so popular and genuinely great at first, they saw how much money they could make off subscriptions at 15 bucks a month, then they noticed that they can keep churning out worse and worse expansions with almost no time or dedication paid to them and the fans will desperately buy them to be up to date. One game produced so much money and fandom that the company got blinded and got too big. No longer was it a niche kind of indie passionate developer. No it merged with Activision and becomes a goliath and an example of everything bad about the industry. Profit over fun, microtransactions and worthless expansions, it got so bad they had to release classic because their greed destroyed the spirit of the game. Starcraft 2 seemed to be a step in the right direction but they slowly ruined that as well. It can't even hold a candle to brood war to this day. They sold out so bad that they had that diablo mobile debacle. It's so sad. Diablo 2 was genuinely a masterpiece and now its milked on mobile and while diablo 3 was okay, it lacked the feeling and spirit and just magic of the 2nd and first. By the way if anyone loves diablo, the torchlight series on steam is amazing and exactly what diablo 3 should have been like. It's made by some of the original people who worked on diablo. It's a great game with great art aesthetic and feels nostalgic while new.

My brothers best friend worked for Blizzard ND told me about a neat trick. If you had two pc with Warcraft installed and only one CD- you could start a game and eject it then insert the CD into other computer and run both games. Worked for diablo 2 as well
Yeah, had it with BridgeBuilder too. I closed my eyes to fall asleep and all I saw was triangles. Same thing happens with anything I do for longer periods of time.
Sometimes I’d play chess so much when I looked around I thought I could see squares where everything could move. Mad how anytime of game we love can do that. Brains r fucking fucked beyond fucking belief.
Mike w HunterBelle13. If you don’t mind playing with a 14 year old. That’s also my Instagram. Lots of game vids and I also do Three Gun competitions/ so hope you don’t mind firearms
I feel really lucky to have been a kid during the rise of Arcades in the 80's, playing Nintendo, Sega, LAN Parties...1985-1995 was probably the best 10 years to have been a gamer...
Yea I feel like the lan party era was the golden age. I got in at the tail end of it, the 360 came out when I was in 8th grade if I remember. Once the 360 came out, you still had halo 3 parties which were fun but it got to the point where it's all online

@@torindechoza7266 Yea for sure, there are some crazy good games. But I feel like it just felt good to have video games be something that you just played when you went over to a friends house, or with the family. Like Mario Kart, Goldeneye, Halo CE and Halo 2, those games promoted human interactions. Now, it just feels like you go over a friends house, and everyone just takes turns on online multiplayer.

Guys shut up, im also an old dude but cmon. You're looking at things trough a nostalgia filter, do you even game today? Have you seen how fucking awesome games are now? Have you been to a LAN party with 3 people playin VR. Just get on this shit, it's way better now. The only thing is we're old lol

Joes show rocks, this guy is as real as it gets. This is why conversation is a dying art in our country, people can not be honest with themselves. This guy just lays it all out and tells us, complete strangers btw, about this shameful, crippling addiction he had as a young man. Kudos for this guy, he knows how to be a human being in a time where everyone is trying as hard as they can to be a sound byte.

@@slickus I get it, I'm obsessed with card games and utube, but these were unhealthy levels and u would need to drop that guy off at 'gamer rehab' kicking and screaming lol.
haha that was me! i did that as a form of escapism. I was friends with shitty and stagnant people. I didn't find joy in most of the things I do, so I resorted to activities with instant gratifications. Porn. Games. Luckily a good friend got me into working out and that helped. That single activity cascaded into other positive habits. Improving myself and reaping the positive impacts became the 'virtuous cycle' that helps me become a better person. I still have a lot of vices. But I'll be damned if I say I'm not in the best shape, best social standing, and most productive period of my life. So yeah ladies and gentlemen! If you are in that position, getting out is necessary. It's not easy but the momentum as you go along will make it easier over time.
I mean, I LOVE GAMING but I never understood how people could sit in one spot for like 12+ hours playing WOW or some shit. I can barely sit for 4 hours without at least getting up and taking a walk.
I was 20 years old now I am 30 for last 10 years of my life was consumed by dota 2 I fuck up I didn't work on myself on getting better now I am trying to get into shape and start looking for a career hopefully I find someone to love and have two children I don't want to be trapped in that addict cycle.I think for me personally I was trying to fill a hole that a career was supposed to fill but I never got the job I wanted so I let my life be consumed by dota 2 . Joe Rogan is right there are real consequences without having balance to your life. I hope all you guys find what you are looking for in life not in the virtual world.
Just like food, some people have a problem with it and get obese - most dont. I think its very similar with video games - but some countries are banning video games which i dont agree with
Dota 2 was a real problem for me circle 2013-2015 I feel ya on that one dude. Highly addictive game you are the right path find a career or just work 2 jobs and fill your time with making money and saving and see where that takes you too anything is better than being trapped in a video game life
My youngest foster brother, he was addicted to all those warcraft games. I voiced my concern to my dad that it wasn't healthy (My frat twin sister and I and youngest brother were all jocks in school). My father said, "he brings home 'A's' and isn't a problem in school (My parents became foster parents after we kids left the house had our own lives). Simeon now earns more than my siblings and me combined! Lol. He's a a Google exec in Venice Ca now, 20 years later.
Many people with addictive personalities end up killing it in the business world. As long as it's practice and truly "just a phase" I feel like hardcore videogame addiction can feed this hunger. I've known a lot of high-powered professionals who used to be addicted to Warcraft the same way Joe describes his addiction to Quake
I can't tell you how much I relate to this guy, except it's Warcraft 3 for me, frozen throne expansion, it's a daily struggle not to play, I thought my addiction to Age of Empire conquerors was bad, but W3 is a gremlin in your mind that whispers you to play the game and shows you replays and suggests new strats at random moments of the day
Blizzard created fucking pure uncut digital cocaine back in the day. Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo I & II. Holy shit the 90's and the early 2000's made mainliner addicts of us.
I remember playing mw2 so much that whenever I did go out with friends I would think about game mechanics in real life. “these stairs would be perfect spot for a claymore”
You know, I’d love to see this guy and any of the “culture” experts sit down and see if they agree or disagree. This guy, regardless of his exterior or language, had first hand knowledge of primitive culture.
i was like 14 when warcraft 2 came out just before christmas... it still feels so weridly magical... so many good memories of that game played in a pentium 133mhz with 8Mb of ram, and a sound blaster ..what a beast of a pc at the time...
sadly golden age of pc gaming and it was in the cradle imagine the freedom and creativity from then with the technology now my god the games would all be masterpieces.
People don’t want to admit it, but video game addiction is very real and can have a major negative impact on someone’s life. You get addicted to these reward systems existing within this fictional world that you come to neglect your real life and eventually you find you lost a great deal of time.
WC2 is still one of my favorite games of all time (both PC and Sega Saturn version). What I remember vividly about the transition from WC2 to 3 is that the dynamics of the game completely changed. Hero leveling was more important than production of units
@@id-10-terror7 It's too much, it's one of those things I am glad i played at the time. War3, a full game of td takes like 2 hours, we played for years, i never need to play that game ever again.
I was like this guy when younger and World of Warcraft came out. Remember only getting about 3 hours sleep only or I was taking sick days off work just to get ahead quicker than the guys at work I played with. No half a$$ed effort, It's either all in or don't bother. lol Now I stick to single player and just play at my own pace.
Those are all examples of behavior addictions. It would be cool to see Joe bring an addictions counselor or psychologist on the podcast to talk about them unless he has and I just missed it.
To be fair, David put himself in every one of those awkward positions, and that's exactly what the universe gave him for where he was in that moment. They all helped him become who he is today.
I remember being 10 years old when I won my first LAN game match against my classmate. I felt like I wanna whack him with my keyboard just to ride the dopamine hit.
What i love about this guy is some ppl was calling BS on all this craziness of his life and story’s but you could fact check the hell out of him for a good portion of it and could pull up whatever he spoken about , him remembering his first porn , ect. He knew the name it was legit . And he says it so fluid
My dad heard about this level of addiction, so when I started playing Runescape back in 2005 he only let me play 5 hours every OTHER day. I was very bitter back then, but I'm very grateful now.
I know exactly what he means because I was playing arena on wow for 12 hours a day to get gladiator. I wouldn't stop for anything and nothing was more important at that time. Took me years to find out I was just filling the competition void in my life.
Warcraft 2 is a very adctive game. I remember to play a lot and when I go to sleep the noise of the peasants chopping down the trees stills in my mind.
aaah.. the warcraft 2 and W2 frozen throne ladder match.. so hard to queue on a dial-up connection here in the Philippines back then, but daaaaamn.. it was a blast.
I love how real this dude is. No bullshit ego whatsoever.
best conversation ever, i never thought i would listen to a dude talk about his life for 4 hours non-stop, but here we are...
Wait, what? He literally spoke 4 hours about himself and barely anything else.

Gaming was a communal experience in the 90's, we literally used to link six computers together in the someones basement and have a party.
We'd take over our church on Fridays and have a big LAN party with a pile of cables in the center lol
Tru dat dude its crazy how things relate yet look at this crazy shit mind blown man
Communal, even sacred. That is why a vote of celibacy was the norm (while most 90's kids were in the wild drinking and having sex)

So yeah ladies and gentlemen! If you are in that position, getting out is necessary. It's not easy but the momentum as you go along will make it easier over time.
I mean, I LOVE GAMING but I never understood how people could sit in one spot for like 12+ hours playing WOW or some shit.
I can barely sit for 4 hours without at least getting up and taking a walk.
One of the best RTS games
In the top 5 of all time easy.
Wc3 is just a better version.
god i started playing warcraft 3 when i was 7 and now im 22 still watching it on twitch
@@toxikvik The inverse of what you just said, is true.
@@toxikvik not true at all, feels cartoonish
I was 20 years old now I am 30 for last 10 years of my life was consumed by dota 2 I fuck up I didn't work on myself on getting better now I am trying to get into shape and start looking for a career hopefully I find someone to love and have two children I don't want to be trapped in that addict cycle.I think for me personally I was trying to fill a hole that a career was supposed to fill but I never got the job I wanted so I let my life be consumed by dota 2 . Joe Rogan is right there are real consequences without having balance to your life. I hope all you guys find what you are looking for in life not in the virtual world.
That's deep. You can go cold turkey and accomplish your goals. Be more like David Goggins and do.
Just like food, some people have a problem with it and get obese - most dont. I think its very similar with video games - but some countries are banning video games which i dont agree with
Ive been playing dota2 a lot cause of the covid. now Im starting to find balance in my life. been hooked to this game for 5 years now.
Dota 2 was a real problem for me circle 2013-2015 I feel ya on that one dude. Highly addictive game you are the right path find a career or just work 2 jobs and fill your time with making money and saving and see where that takes you too anything is better than being trapped in a video game life
Best of luck man, keep strong and find something that can fulfill you in a lasting way without taking all your time
My youngest foster brother, he was addicted to all those warcraft games. I voiced my concern to my dad that it wasn't healthy (My frat twin sister and I and youngest brother were all jocks in school). My father said, "he brings home 'A's' and isn't a problem in school (My parents became foster parents after we kids left the house had our own lives).
Simeon now earns more than my siblings and me combined! Lol. He's a a Google exec in Venice Ca now, 20 years later.
Many people with addictive personalities end up killing it in the business world. As long as it's practice and truly "just a phase" I feel like hardcore videogame addiction can feed this hunger. I've known a lot of high-powered professionals who used to be addicted to Warcraft the same way Joe describes his addiction to Quake
@@andrewclum8419 Yeh, I dont' think my foster brother even plays games anymore... He's too into the business of business..
Yeah it's true, I played GTA V and learned how to steal and hide from Cops. I'm killing it lately.
What most people forget is that you can train the brain people tend to not think about this because its not visible like muscles on your arms.
This man is the opposite of a sociopath. So refreshing
When he said "Ice Storm, Ice Storm", I felt that.
I can't tell you how much I relate to this guy, except it's Warcraft 3 for me, frozen throne expansion, it's a daily struggle not to play, I thought my addiction to Age of Empire conquerors was bad, but W3 is a gremlin in your mind that whispers you to play the game and shows you replays and suggests new strats at random moments of the day
Him saying he goes to all the meetings makes me think he's going to start a fight club.
Joe Rogan: I don't get into those games
Also Joe Rogan: I had a t1 line installed in my neighborhood so I could play quake
Haha t1.. wtf was that even? What speed was it?
@@ve2430 Fiber optic line. It's 1.544 mbps, guaranteed typically.
@@staciehenderson6982 and it was amazing in the early 2000s lol
I mean, there's a big difference between FPS games and RTS games, lol
@@ve2430 t1 was to dial up what 5g is to 3g .... I guess I'm older than I thought
"Ready for work"
Trendkiller stop touching me
When we found out we could replace the sound files with our own it became more important than the game
Blizzard created fucking pure uncut digital cocaine back in the day. Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo I & II. Holy shit the 90's and the early 2000's made mainliner addicts of us.
Digital cocaine lmao I’m stealing that !
"Tip: Remember to take all things in moderation (even World of Warcraft!)"
Sorry for "nitpicking" but he played Warcraft, not World of Warcraft.
Ah. A man of culture.
@@ominousplatypus380 This is a tip on a loading screen for World of Warcraft. In case you didn't know :)
@@Diimus ahh okay, it makes more sense now :D
I remember playing mw2 so much that whenever I did go out with friends I would think about game mechanics in real life.
“these stairs would be perfect spot for a claymore”
😂
Way to be honest about addiction! Keep pushing forward my man! Stay sober!
David after this interview: 'man that conversation brought back great memories.... I should boot up that game again'
Ice storm 😏
Warcraft 2 was my first strategy game ever, I will never forget that game. BEST GAME EVER
Those were the best blizzard games. StarCraft and Warcraft 2.. I also got heavily into quake 2 in high school.
David looks the cowardly lion from wizard of oz in the thumbnail
Haha I was just about to comment this
You know, I’d love to see this guy and any of the “culture” experts sit down and see if they agree or disagree. This guy, regardless of his exterior or language, had first hand knowledge of primitive culture.
i was like 14 when warcraft 2 came out just before christmas...
it still feels so weridly magical... so many good memories of that game played in a pentium 133mhz with 8Mb of ram, and a sound blaster ..what a beast of a pc at the time...
sadly golden age of pc gaming and it was in the cradle imagine the freedom and creativity from then with the technology now my god the games would all be masterpieces.
Ok cool guys..."Ice Storm Ice storm! - running back home - hahaa
People don’t want to admit it, but video game addiction is very real and can have a major negative impact on someone’s life. You get addicted to these reward systems existing within this fictional world that you come to neglect your real life and eventually you find you lost a great deal of time.
powerful comment
Mr. Choe is seriously the most interesting guest I've ever seen on Joe's podcast.
I'm talking the whole interview. Not just this tiny segment. This dude is something else.
WC2 is still one of my favorite games of all time (both PC and Sega Saturn version). What I remember vividly about the transition from WC2 to 3 is that the dynamics of the game completely changed. Hero leveling was more important than production of units
I left warcraft 2 for starcraft
It was tope
Me too....starcraft had 3 races to choose from and cooler imo
@@MJGelfor sc2 is still good imo
@@MJGelfor Ikr... I still play starcraft 2 till this day. I downloaded warcraft 2 some years ago and I'm like I can't believe I used to play this.
@@id-10-terror7 It's too much, it's one of those things I am glad i played at the time. War3, a full game of td takes like 2 hours, we played for years, i never need to play that game ever again.
I was like this guy when younger and World of Warcraft came out.
Remember only getting about 3 hours sleep only or I was taking sick days off work just to get ahead quicker than the guys at work I played with.
No half a$$ed effort, It's either all in or don't bother. lol
Now I stick to single player and just play at my own pace.
That was Diablo 2 for me.
How about counter strike 1.5? That game was addicting
Feel that
@@joshuasmith6346 I remember playing in the Cal leagues. Fun times.
Those are all examples of behavior addictions. It would be cool to see Joe bring an addictions counselor or psychologist on the podcast to talk about them unless he has and I just missed it.
David is amazing i cant get enough of him his energy is next level much love
WC3 Frozen Throne is still the best RTS ever made.
Uhhh...AOE2 would like to have a word.
Starcraft : Brood War, Total Annihilation, Warcraft 3 are all on the same pedestal of rts legends. With honorable mentions to C&C series and AOE.
@@neg0t I would put AoE on that pedestal. AoE II is legendary and still has a massive player base.
@@Jackaroo. actually yes, i´d give a spot to aoe II instead of wc3, starcraft was more groundbreaking than wc3
@@benlooy547 never got into AOE, only Warcraft 3, StarCraft, Populous The Beginning, and SimCity2000
Wow classic was like a time capsule to my childhood. Opened so many lost memories of music I'd listen to and things I loved.
“Ice storm. Ice storm.”
To be fair, David put himself in every one of those awkward positions, and that's exactly what the universe gave him for where he was in that moment. They all helped him become who he is today.
Stop rocking the boat, your making me seasick.
Don't rock my boat...
My favorite guest on the show.
Dude everytime I mention Warcraft people are like World of Warcraft?!? NO!!!!! LMAO
Yep, literally not possible to distinguish or explain to some people.
@@taylorcorbett8848 Between that and Red Alert series nobody knows about them that I know of. I would just love a sequel to either
surprised he didn't say "Blizzard" at the end :P
Warcraft 2 made me buy my first computer 😆
Hahaha haha same!
ditto
Me too
Warcraft 3 made me hooked onto Dota. Now I've spend thousands of hours playing Dota 2 😞
I was there with Starcraft. It's basically crack.
So good.
Super crack!!
Joey Bobby It’s the feeling of beating another human being in a complex and demanding game that feels so good.
You mean Starcrack? Only video game I cannot give up.
I remember being 10 years old when I won my first LAN game match against my classmate. I felt like I wanna whack him with my keyboard just to ride the dopamine hit.
That was the golden age of RTS. Wc2 and age of empires 2
Yaaass. My two favs. And not forgetting Worms 2
Sc broodwar too
And Command and Conquer!
Thank god I stopped playing MMOs.
*Thank god i stopped playing WOW, fixed that for ya ;)
Blizzard took care of the WOW addiction for me. After around 2013 it just wasn't fun anymore.
When they shut down your favorite mmo that's a real eye opener on how much of. Waste of they are
Fuck WoW. He was talking about actual Warcraft.
Mine was Counter Strike
i was up 12 hours when i first got that game back in '01
dust_2
@@pc8472 counter terrorists win
Still addicted at 30. fml
@@bisaa12 i would be too if it was 1.5
once it changed to STEAM i completely lost interest.
What i love about this guy is some ppl was calling BS on all this craziness of his life and story’s but you could fact check the hell out of him for a good portion of it and could pull up whatever he spoken about , him remembering his first porn , ect. He knew the name it was legit . And he says it so fluid
Oh man!
Starcraft and Warcraft 2...
SOOOOOO MANY YEARS WELL SPENT!
I used to be the same with Monster Hunter 1 on PS2. I had just finished high school and no job. And for a year, that game was all I ever did
You know the atmosphere kinda changed when you bring up words like "Paladin" or "Wizard". Blizzard made great games
this dude is real gamer
I love when Joe Rogan starts laughing like that at the end. This guy's laugh is so great.
Pascal Trudeau-corbeil 😂🤣😂
My dad heard about this level of addiction, so when I started playing Runescape back in 2005 he only let me play 5 hours every OTHER day. I was very bitter back then, but I'm very grateful now.
What a great guy. Plus amazing artist and human being all around.
I knew I was playing too much Warcraft when I would finally go to bed and when I closed my eyes I could still hear the swords clanging.
Kids, never try Dota 2, not even once.
Ok casual go play league.
So many ice storms
Try weed and dota2 good combo
AND leauge of legends for that matter. Same problem -- there is no end.
The is one of my top 3 full podcasts EVER!!!
WarCraft III was the best! I miss spending hours on that.
Me to
@lizzy rosario true, but I tried playing again and the controls are just ass
Just imagining how vivid it looked to him when going to sleep.
Warcraft 2 BNE & Counter-Strike 1.5......ahhh the good ole days
“Yes me lord” still have it & can still jam it 🤘💨🔥🔥
Remember when Joe was badly addicted to quake and his fleshlight? Now he's just badly addicted to weed.
🤣
addicts do that, they replace one vice with another. not all addicts but most.
I want to listen to every single thing David Choe has to say!! Hope he has a podcast - instant Sub
I know exactly what he means because I was playing arena on wow for 12 hours a day to get gladiator. I wouldn't stop for anything and nothing was more important at that time. Took me years to find out I was just filling the competition void in my life.
what do you do now instead?
i sat on Dota on wc3 for pretty much 16 hours a day 0o
Hell yeah we call it DOTA here in Philippines
*It's another episode of "Asian guest of Joe Rogan gets compared to Bobby Lee in the comments"*
Wait . . . That's not Bobby Lee?
Best interview ever
This story is actually incredibly sad but Rogan is laughing
As he should
This dude was awesome in the Star Wars Holiday Special
Warcraft 2 is a very adctive game. I remember to play a lot and when I go to sleep the noise of the peasants chopping down the trees stills in my mind.
Work, Work.
That’s me with RuneScape sea shanty 2
@@MrJocko111 I think that's only WC3
I remember WC2 said different stuff

It's the Peon sound in warcraft 2. Not the human peasant sound.
I just looked it up. Search for "Warcraft 2 Work Work".
@@MrJocko111 Nah they definitely don't say work work, think they say 'ready to work' though.
They say jibberish a lot more in wc2.

Jamie brought up the vid without Joe asking. It's learning.
David Choe trash talking children in warcraft 2 sounds like the funniest thing ever
D2 frozen orbs, before they put cast delay with later patches
