PewDiePie is the most popular YouTuber in the world with millions of subscribers to his channel. The Swedish entertainer got his start in gaming, and even went back to those roots in 2019 by launching his successful Minecraft series. However during his latest upload, the personality sarcastically revealed the true way to to tell if someone is a gamer or not. And it\u2019s every bit as comical as you would expect it to be. PewDiePie on what separates \u201creal\u201d gamers In his latest video, the YouTuber reacted to a game show where six contestants had to guess which among them was the fake gamer. He began the segment with a joke that claimed watching your brother play or playing on your phone doesn\u2019t count as gaming. He also opened up about growing up in Sweden, and having to hide that he played video games. \u201cI remember when I was young, I couldn\u2019t tell people I was a gamer. I would be judged. Called pathetic. \u201cYou played games you nerd!\u201d Now people are faking being gamers,\u201d he said. The Swedish star then revealed how to spot a fake gamer. \u201cYou know what\u2019s a great way to figure out if someone is a fake gamer? Ask them: \u201cRate your favorite Dark Souls games.\u201d Or just Souls game in general. See what order they do. And if they pick Dark Souls 2 at the top, you just throw them out of there!\u201d When one of the contestants used their love of Kingdom Hearts to prove they weren\u2019t the fake gamer, PewDiePie said \u201cI believe this guy, because anyone who has Kingdom Hearts as their favorite game cannot shut the f**k up about it. So I believe him, he\u2019s 100% clear!\u201d The popular entertainer also had a similar analysis for Nintendo\u2019s Paper Mario franchise. \u201cPaper Mario, that\u2019s another Kingdom Hearts type of game that people grew up on. So I believe that would be someone\u2019s favorite game.\u201d Another telltale sign to spot a true gamer? According to Pewds, it\u2019s unfunny shirts. \u201cThe one thing gamers love, it\u2019s unfunny shirts. They just can\u2019t get enough. I know a couple of people are watching this right now, and they\u2019re looking down going \u201cAh f**k, goddammit he\u2019s right!\u201d he said, breaking into laughter. (Timestamp 05:31 for mobile users.) It should be noted that PewDiePie was being tongue and cheek, and has a long history of calling himself a \u201cpro gamer\u201d with \u201cepic\u201d abilities. His comical takes on the medium will no doubt have his fans in stitches. Despite taking a month-long break in January, the Swedish personality\u2019s return has been met with insane views. His first Minecraft video since December has already racked up close to 8 million views in just a couple of days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PewDiePie explains what separates a \u201creal\u201d gamer from \u201cfake\u201d ones YouTube: PewDiePieDuring his March 8 upload, YouTube king Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg revealed how to tell if someone is a real \u201cgamer\u201d while also sharing some hilarious takes on gaming.
