    I keep coming to watch this from time to time, I love this song, possibly because I've been mocked, ridiculed, and stigmatized growing up as an avid gamer in the 80s and 90s... I followed a career path that I hated... the stigma is still here but is better now, though we still have to fight politicians and an older generation who still stigmatize us as childmen/women for pursuing what we love. My new career in digital media is due in a large part to my love for gaming, and I'm finally finding joy in my new career path. "Gamers the world is ours, now where shall we take it". This song wouldn't be so emotional to me if I hadn't been mocked my whole life for my hobby... who's laughing now?

      I was a complete nerd growing up. D&D, WoD, SNES, Genesis, Dreamcast, PS1...the only friends I had back then were bits of code neatly stored on discs and cartridges. Flash forward 20 years later, not only am I not completely without people to turn to, at least half of us met and nigh all of us have bonded through gaming. It's so nice to see the world finally recognizes it as the beautiful thing it is.

      He's an arrogant prick, but he's right. Most gamers are entitled, spoilt, and right assholes to people if a game doesn't go THEIR way. I don't blame games, just the general idea that they spend too much time on the computer/console. I myself, love to game, but not to the point I'm on 24/7. I can only stand it for so long.

    I typed the whole song
    like so this can go to the top comments
    When gamers came along, the planet laughed at us
    But this is gaming in the future and you haven't heard the last of us
    Dismissing this is just an enormous fallacy
    So open your mind, and let it alter your reality
    Hey geeks
    I bring a message from the future
    There's a new revolution heading to computers
    It's '73, but it won't be too long
    'Til we can get the TV to play a game of Pong
    But it's time to breakout of the house
    The crazy days of Space Invaders await us
    Arcade potatoes
    Swap the shooting range
    For computer games
    Arcade renaissance
    Pre-8-bit's blooming days
    A new decade
    Welcome to the 80's
    Pac-Man's the latest new craze
    Q*Bert's the rage
    The first personal computers let loose
    As Manic Miner grabs your time, and to fight is truly useless
    Elite gave legions of wee little boys
    A deep space region and freedom of choice
    Now here comes the console
    The first one sold portended an industry of dimensions untold
    The birth of franchise
    Mario Brothers
    Donkey Kong, Monty Mole, I'll tell you the others
    But, the list would go on and on
    Longer than I can tell
    Until the 90's when the game became handheld
    Meanwhile. I bought stories of another time
    And point-and-click arrived from the shores of Monkey Island
    Ever want to see your chums beat right up?
    Well, Daniel-san, you need to try Street Fighter
    A tournament with all your buddies in your front room
    Is all good until you fight online on Doom
    Hijack your mind, your momma can't abide this
    Night Trap might lack morals, it's a moral crisis
    What are we doing to our youth?
    They're shooting people
    Glued to screens with superglue
    Computers need to be banned when the laws broke
    Ban Manhunt
    Ban Grand Theft Auto
    Try something musical, but if you have a sore throat
    I have what you're after
    Parappa the Rapper
    Tomb Raider, the tune invades your brain
    Get in her way and she'll make you taste the pain
    A sports a game always and it's hard fact
    Then a game became a sport and its name was Starcraft
    Kids used to play with dolls and a house
    The Sims is the same, but controlled with a mouse
    Open worlds abound, but rarely 3D, hey
    Until the Elder Scrolls and GTA
    Wait 'til you see the scale of the monsters and bosses
    That you face in Shadow of the Colossus
    Things are getting bigger, more decisions, more maps
    Millions of simultaneous players in Warcraft
    All the people
    So many people
    See, your whole family can get involved in Wii Sports
    And more people means more money, more flair
    For big blockbusters
    COD: Modern Warfare
    Even more people, more freedom, more Indie games
    Limbo, Fez, Super Meat Boy, Braid
    Revolutionizing gameplay
    A mind blast
    Constructing infinite destructible worlds
    Minecraft
    Gaming on the telephone, yes I know it sounds absurd
    Fruit Ninja, Farmville, Angry Birds
    When gamers came along, the planet laughed at us
    But this is gaming in the future and you haven't heard the last of us
    Dismissing this is just an enormous fallacy
    So open your mind, and let it alter your reality
    When gamers came along, the planet laughed at us

      YOLOMASTER 63 Gaming is not a hobby any more it's a sport a sport of the hand, eye and brain it will only be a few years until the golden age of games dawn upon us again this time real sport (VR) until then we will keep on playing no matter what any one says thinks hears or believes we not just people who sit behind a screen we handle every thing WE ARE NOW GOD
      When I mean god we control most things not universes because they control them selves stuff we can alter for the religious people out there

    Six months until it's been ten years (and fifty years of gaming).
    While I expect nothing, a new rap to commemorate the occasion would be amazing.
    Cheers for everything, Dan.

      ***** Exactly! People say gamers should go out and talk to people face to face, then get on things like Facebook. It's the same thing, both of us are talking to the person BEHIND the computer, not the picture/avatar.
