Have you ever met a "gamer" friend irl you became friends with online?




28 y/o Charles Powell was getting married to his sweetheart in Cincinnati, Ohio and wanted one his good friends of 15 YEARS to come to his wedding..and it was an XBOX LIVE FRIEND that he met on Phantasy Star Online!!

He asked if he would be his BEST MAN at his wedding and he had NEVER met him in person but always wanted after talking to him on XBOX and becoming friends for over a decade...

Joe Walters was the man he asked as both were just kids back then when they were playing XBOX together at 13 years old...

They were playing PSO on the original XBOX when Charles character walked up to Joe and they started a conversation about an item he needed..

And through Joe, he met 2 other guys, William Brown from Tennessee and Joey Morris from Maryland and the 4 men had a lot in common and became the best "online" friends ever after sending each other messages and coordinating times to play together

He said "I would come home from school and they would be online and i would be online. We just liked the same things"

Until the wedding, they have never met each other and only saw each other through facebook and other social media platforms..

But now that they were grown men, Charles big day was coming up to marry his sweetheart, Myra and his 3 online friends got on planes to his wedding to witness his big day..and to all finally meeting each other.

They wanted to meet in one place and have tried to set it up but it just never worked out but his buddies weren't going to miss his wedding day and it was the perfect opportunity to meet up...

Charles picked them up at the airport and said "We already knew each other the moment we met. It was like we were already family"

Needless to say, the gamers got drunk and had a blast at the wedding and have taken several photos to remember this day...

Have you ever met a "gamer" friend you met on the internet before?

I've come really close to it and still plan to tbh. Almost met a fellow GFAQser at a High School Band Competition we were kinda close on the SSB4 boards and it turned out that we were both in Marching Band and both going to the same competition. But then our director wouldn't let us mingle. So we couldn't meet up.

I also plan to meet one of my Xbox friends should I ever visit New York or North Carolina.
