Article:Gaming friendships that stuck
Article
For me, I’ve had a gaming friendship that have stuck with me for over 12 to 13 years now. We’ve kept in touch through Discord and everything! We met in a Black Ops 2 lobby when the game was very popular. We quickly added each other and became inseparable! Throughout the years we’ve played everything from CoD Zombies to Halo together the way we can pick up any game, no matter how long it’s been since we’ve played together, it feels just like minutes, even though it’s been hours and we have other things we have to do for the next day
Throughout the years we’ve known each other, they became a parent, we’ve changed so many jobs. We still play together from time to time, but not as much as we hope. We still keep in touch through Discord, sending check-ins and making sure we plan to game again. When you least expect it, you find a really good friendship in someone you meet online who makes an impact on your life without you actually realizing it. When that happens, make sure you hold that friendship close and make sure you value them and let them thrive.
So when my friend Austin started hanging around more with me when I first started getting into gaming 12 to 13 years ago. I didn’t realize how much our friendship would change over the years we’ve known each other. He and I have been through so much together from messy and bad ups and downs in life, where we just gamed in Black Ops 2 together without talking much, or just making the random off hand comments trying to get the other one to laugh when we had a bad day.
We never thought that our friendship that was formed online, would be as strong as it is today. We still talk to this day about lives and what each other's going through. Sometimes we game together but only when we have time we game.
To this day, Austin’s friendship to me means more than anything to me. He’s like a brother to me when I needed it. He’s the reason why I still love gaming when I wanted to give up gaming and all the changes that came with it. Now he plays Battlefield more and I’m more of a Black Ops player. But occasionally he’ll get on to play zombies with me on Black Ops when I ask. Every week we call to check in and see how each other is doing
To this day, I'm thankful for how close we are and how we're there for each other
My friend’s Pov:
Probably when you and I used to do Gun Game in BO1. Both obsessed with betting higher and higher points. Maybe in black ops 1. Well both 1 and 2 when we used to play a lot.
Any of our 1 v 1s in either game. Just playing until the late hours talking bull. You unknowingly helped through a few breakups which im thankful for! You're one of the most sweetest people ive known throughout the years whose kept up with me and my life and I'm so thankful you're one of the closest friends I have.
KSI Chef 7 on the friendships he made in KSI:
Hmm, the friends I play with have been here almost just as long if not longer than I have been here. We play a lot of COD and multiplayer games such as Brawlhalla and Fall Guys. It's mostly on the weekends because during the week, it's always hectic with work and KSI duties.
KSI Beatrix and the friendships she made:
I'm a very shy person when it comes to making friends, and as such, I have a hard time with it most of the time. I met 2 friends of mine in a streamer's server a few years back (like 6 years ago), they mainly played Fortnite like I do. At first, I was quiet, didn't say much. But as time went on, we gamed every day. Made jokes no one else got and had fun, made memories that will last a lifetime! I found out 2 years into our friendship that they lived in my state, as I do. Those two friends are now roommates. Now we FaceTime every day. Make jokes and laugh for hours because of one single server and because of one single game, we have become so close you would think we were siblings instead of friends.
