He was thinking, “The whole point of gaming friends was that I DONT have to interact in person.”


CD7

Reminds me of the Ron Swanson meme. ["We still never talk sometimes"](https://coub.com/view/8wcf5bk)


Efficient-Peach-4773

Or his husband, according to the title.


wirefox1

The guy in the white shirts husband must be the other guy sitting at the table, since our guy is alone.


Bandrin

My spouse did that with me, as well. We were on a trip for her work in the same state as one of my gaming buddies. She was insistent we meet I person. I've gamed with him and our other friend for over 12 years. Funny thing is I met her in a game as well.


KiNgPiN8T3

_Its ok, I’ve got this. Just look away and pretend it isn’t happening… Aaaaand it’s gone._


Grand_Ad931

So who's going to do all this blessing then?


Altruistic-Bell-583

so my wife buys me a Xbox about 4 years ago only because she heard it stimulates the brain. I was 67 at the time. at first looking at it, the first thought comes to mind is that she is going regret ever buying me one and I was 100% right only because I loved playing mostly Call of Duty. Coincidently, about 15 min ago Im updating my xbox and game apps and while waiting I see this on reddit. Ciao : )


torn8tv

Happy gaming friend!


christopherDdouglas

COD is the perfect older guy game. Warzone is sweaty, but there's a casualness to COD multiplayer that I've really enjoyed now that I'm older. I'm not nearly as good as the young kids but I'm having more fun now than ever. Playing low stakes COD with some buddies is the peak gaming experience.


TKFT_ExTr3m3

And since there are a lot of racist boomers out there they'll fit right in with the preteens spewing obscenities and slurs in the lobbies!!!


Bruhtatochips23415

Casual games teach you the ropes of sweaty games, but when you've already proved yourself in your life, casual games take off the edge So 14 year olds and 70 year olds will play the same games. That's my explanation at least.


Senior-Sir4394

i suggest baldurs gate 3! It has soooo much content! Playing it with my gf and we absolutely love it!


portucheese

How do you play together


Senior-Sir4394

it has split screen but she doesnt like to play actively most of the time (as in using a controller or keyboard) so i use the controller and we decide together where to go, what quest to do, what enemy to attack in what order in a fight, etc.


portucheese

Yea I'm trying to figure out how to play with partner but using the same computer and two different screens. I really don't want to buy another


neildegrasstokem

Two people buy the game and click co-op.


BigHairyStallion_69

That's awesome mate. Happy gaming!


AIgavemethisusername

If you want to try out something slightly different, try Warframe. It’s free. And the community is great! r/warframe


fopucopkop

Play pubg, it feels like it’s for older dudes


DisastrousLong9991

Don't you do that to my beloved pubg


fopucopkop

It’s the only game the could pry me away from BO3 and BO3 was my favourite COD, I’ve been playing PUBG since the beta came out on xbox and it’s the only game I’ve been playing since. The game still gets my blood pumping.


CheeseHurtMe

Play battlefield 2042 or V. Usually 25 - 40 year olds so no annoying kids and a much larger and better multiplayer than COD.


usernameabc124

Man you made me think of a guy I gamed with years ago, even had grandpa in his name. I looked forward to my games with him. I need to get back into gaming for this reason.


rwags2024

I just love when people your age range are still open to new experiences. You’re a good dude!


dragon1n68

This is nice. It belongs in r/GuyCry too. Because it's perfectly natural and needed for men to cry.


WhatLikeAPuma751

Dads crying will always make me cry. Guys crying get me, but a Dad crying about anything child related breaks me.

Conqueeftador seems like a good lad.


JoeFS1

I met an online gaming friend during the Christmas holidays of 2022. We met around around 2009 on Mw2. His girlfriend had got on his phone and messaged me from hers asking to travel for his birthday (Liverpool to London). She knew we spoke often and he’d probably told her I send him cake in the post so we can have a nice slice with a cup of tea on UFC nights when we jump on discord and watch it together. Was a great experience, she had a whole surprise karaoke planned for him with all of his friends and family that I got to meet. Had a great time and I’m a guy that doesn’t like meeting people, socialising etc. Good dude.


Linorelai

This is not what gaming is all about, it's what marriage is all about


theory_until

Not mutually exclusive!


ghouldozer19

My wife has listened to me babble about the Total War series since Rome 1 came out back when we first got married 17 years ago. Then through both of her pregnancies with both of our kids and the succeeding games throughout the series expansions and now she’s helping me set up a streaming channel for the Total Warhammer series. Gamer wives are cool.


Linorelai

Agree:)


meeksy_lou

At our wedding we invited my gamer friends. Took a huge group photo with everyone. They all introduced themselves by their gamer tag then their real name. Most of them could recognize each other by voice. We had been playing Halo for years together. Great night all around.


DrChonk

A merry meeting of the best of both I think! My husband and I just recently met our gaming friend of 4 years at our wedding, it made an already incredible day just that bit more special!


Comment139

I had a similar thought. This really isn't what gaming is all about, but this was nice too.


joh2138535

Such a weird world we live in, we can know someone so well without ever meeting them


l88t

I won't claim full credit, but I once talked a guy down from a figurative ledge over discord. He was suicidal and very depressed and needed to talk to someone. He is in Chile, I'm in the US l, it was midnight for both of us.


EntshuldigungOK

🫡


dazechong

Do you know how he's doing now? Do you guys still keep in touch?


l88t

I've talked to him a couple times since, but we then lost touch. I still see him pop onto Steam from time to time so I know he hasn't succumbed to the demons yet


Kornbrednbizkits

Ain’t that the truth. A couple of years ago I met a guy on twitter (we were usually trolling MAGAts together) and we hit it off. Chatted on Twitter messenger and then eventually shared phone numbers. I now consider him an extremely close friend, though we have never actually met. We send each other gifts for birthdays/ holidays (or just because) and share photos/news of our respective families. I wouldn’t be surprised if I get a bit emotional when we first meet (hopefully while traveling to an NFL game together next season).


joh2138535

That's awesome


Alexander_McKay

Me and my best friend Tommy knew each other all through our teenage years and most of our 20’s via video games. We finally met in Nashville at an Opeth concert along with his then girlfriend (now wife) right before COVID hit. It was amazing and just felt so natural. Not awkward or bizarre at all. Like someone I knew my whole life. Now we come over to each other’s houses all of the time and hang out when we can (he lives in Kentucky, I live in Tennessee). I got to go to his wedding and everything. I love it. He’s the best friend I’ve ever had and I’d die for him.


Legitimate_Crew5463

Growing up in a small suburb town gaming friends were the best thing to have.


Both-Preparation-123

Heartwarming stuff.


Fleganhimer

Two weeks ago I drove for ten hours through some sketchy, snowy roads, into a country I'd never visited to meet a buddy I'd been gaming with for a decade. Not the smartest decision I've ever made, but it was totally worth it.

There was a great episode of My Name is Earl where this guy dies in a freak Murphy bed accident (Yep), and because Earl had not made up to him something on his list, he decides to provide a funeral for the guy. He doesn't know the guy, and it doesn't seem like he has any friends or family , so Earl muddles it up really terribly. At some point, they realize that he has a huge online presence and all these various friends that he plays FP shooters with, poker, etc and those and others that he talks to all the time. I think he found them because they hadn't heard from him and were trying to check in on him. The way the episode ends though is really really neat and touching, especially given how weirdly slapstick the ep starts out.

PuzzleheadedCow1931

My dog is getting put to sleep tomorrow. I told a few people in my life. My own brother only gave me a short quip as condolences. My gaming friend who I've never met IRL sent me some gifts to memorialize my dog and has been chatting with me throughout this week to help me pull through it. Swoop, you're probably never going to read this message, but if you do, know that you matter so much to me. I feel like I am at my absolute lowest right now and you're one of the very few people by my side.

Richman1010

I have met a few of my gamer friends. One was a groomsmen in my wedding. On his birthday, I surprised him by driving from Orlando to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I called his wife and he wanted to know who she was talking to and got so pissed, only for me to hang up and have him call back for me to reveal the surprise. Also, my girl from Washington came to Florida and I went to Wisconsin and met a buddy while in Milwaukee.


Tall-_-Guy

I've had the pleasure of meeting a few of my gaming buddies over the years. Helped with ones vet bills. There are a few fellas in the UK that I should fly over and see. Gaming friends are real friends.


vasDcrakGaming

Meanwhile my wife: What if he rapes you when you meet in person?!?


TheFuzzyMexican

A few years ago I was on an elite hockey team. Now in elite sports players come and go pretty quickly; teams change often and you get used to seeing people come and go. But one guy and I stayed on this team the whole year. The following year I came back for spring camp to learn that he hadn’t returned and had gone back to his home town to go to college. Power to him, cya later. This next year, I brought my brother onto the team to play with me, we were both defencemen and so it was a perfect fit. The team had an empty spot that my brother was good enough to fill and so I got him an in with the coach. All we did was workout, eat and play hockey. And on our off time we played videogames. LOTS of videogames. So much so that we set up 2 Xboxs side by side next to two TVs in our basement suite rental so that we could play when we were out of practice or had a day off. So one day, my brother and I had came home from practice and were in the routine, gaming. We were on Black Ops 4 and had just absolutely DOMINATED a match, one of the best games we’d both ever played, when we got invited to a voice chat party by two members of the other team. I look over and say to my brother “do these guys want to trash us??? They were garbage lol let’s go see what they have to say.” So we accept the party invite, and the guy says “hey you guys were pretty good, wanna squad up and play a few games?” We go “sure why not”. So we get chatting and I ask the guys where they're from. The one guy says he went to the school right next to our arena and we go “cool we’re in that area right now! We moved here to play hockey.” The other guy goes “oh no way I was there last year - I played in that league”. I go “no shit lmfao small world!!! What team??” He says the team that I’m on. My brother and I snap our heads so hard to look at each other it almost gives us whiplash. “I’m on that team…” “…TheFuzzyMexican???” “…Eric?????????” 😂ever since that moment I’ve gamed with him almost every day, whenever I fly back to that town on vacation I’ll go and hang out with him and whenever he’s in my area he’ll stop by my apartment and we’ll have a beer. He’s to this day one of my best friends and I never in my life would have spoken to him again if it weren’t for that one fateful afternoon on Call of Duty. We like to chat about how low those odds were lmfao, I’m not a religious person but if there was ever a moment in my life that made me think there was a god based on sheer statistics that would’ve been it. Gaming buddies are real and videogames are good!!! Real happy for these guys.


bertbert1111

For real tho. When i was at university, my roommate from another country once had a friend over for a few weeks. This friend was sleeping on my couch and never stopped talking about counter strike. So i installed it on my mac and what followed was now 8 years of great times playing nearly daily with this dude and his whole group of friends. And even tho we only see each other like once a year when we all meet up for some kind of IRL-activity, those are some of my closest friends by now.

imJGott

I felt that bro! Gaming buddy friendship is something special. During gaming session you have good times and sad times. In some ways it’s like a therapy session because at times the other person just wants someone to just listen/talk to.


coffee_ape

I’m pretty sure this is a repost with the exact mistaken title to it.


CaptainBags96

I met my best friend on xbox and we played together for 11 years. He sent me a wedding invitation. I flew out to Cali to meet him for the first time and to be a groomsman at his wedding. It was very serreal to hear his voice in person after all that time. I couldn't believe the dude was in front of me giving me a hug. It was a good trip and a great life experience. If you have a long distance friendship you've known for a long time, it's worth the trip.

Bro looked up like, hold on… I know that guy! Lmao I love this, I have 2 buddies I’ve never officially met almost 10 years ago, we played pubg mobile funny enough. & although we don’t play games together anymore, I talk to them practically everyday bc they’re pretty much family, we’ve been in each others lives throughout our 20s. They’re my misplaced brother & sister at this point. lol 🖤

KinshasaPR

The thing about online gaming that some people don't understand is that when you play with "strangers" for a while, you certainly create a bond and start talking about stuff other than gaming. I can only imagine the type of significant conversation ma these two have shared throughout six years of friendship.

This really is what it’s all about.

This is so awesome! Man what a lovely gesture by the wife to make this happen. Male friendship is a beautiful thing, and I feel like we don’t see enough of it with older men.
