    It’s interesting how common it is nowadays to find creators with incredibly small audiences making content at the same level of quality as million + subscriber channels. You and TheNightButterfly come to mind, but there’s plenty more. Keep it up!! You’re bound to blow up soon

    I'm actually really impressed that while scott is clearly an inspiration to this guy, he's trying very hard to branch out and become his own person and form a unique signature style and the effort is very very clearly showing. Keep up the good work, I look forward to your future videos!

    The amount of time and effort you put into these videos really shows. This level of high quality jumps and cuts, jokes and skits back to back is just so hard to achieve and it takes an unbelievable amount of time, hard work and genuine care for your work to be the best it can be. This is beyond impressive, you will go far dude 100%.

    Game collections are the best, it's like a physical representation of your best (and worst) gaming memories. Last year I spent waaaay too much on eBay 3ds games, since I'm guessing the prices will get even worse after the eShop closes. And I absolutely NEEDED Poptropica Forgotten Islands. I think. Fantastic video as always!

    Good shit! Collecting definitely means different things to different people, but you showed a perfect balance of things to describe a buncha different aspects of it!
    For me personally, I collect because I missed out on a lot of things as a kid, so the idea of having a lot of cool games (and some mainly for novelty) warms my heart greatly!

  • @PinstripeParagon
    @PinstripeParagon 2 года назад +11

    I definitely prefer physical collecting. It helps me keep a better idea of what I already own. However, sometimes there is just a deal too good to pass up to buy digitally. I related a lot to how the collection starts as a kid then just blossoms into something else. Great video!

After watching some of your other videos on your Channel I could definitely tell your videos are quality and I hope you post more videos consistently with the same amount of quality more. You just earned a subscriber.

    Hi. I loved how you talked about always wanting the case and manual when purchasing retro games. A few days ago, I purchased a Sega Genesis along side two games: Super Monaco GP and Ecco: The Tides of Time. The case and cartridges were in almost perfect condition, but when I realized they didn’t have manuals I was devastated. And that was when I realized that without a manual, Game cases feel so empty.

    Just like vinyl LPs prices were going through the roof until the counterfeit scene started making copies and crashed the prices so game discs on the ps, gamecube and xbox will be cloned and republished in the future by industrious types, but cartridge games which are far harder to replicate will hold their value in the decades ahead.

    As much as I love physical media, I hate to admit it but I prefer playing games on an emulator. The reason for that is because sometimes whenever I buy games, they would coast $40-$50 which to this day I don’t understand why games are like that. That, as well as playing gaming consoles is not only expensive as hell, but they’ll take off space to where I want to put them.

    2:45 My personal preference is:
    CIB (or atleast not loose) if the game came in a plastic case.
    Loose (put in a custom case, usually casette or VHS) if the game came in a cardboard box
    Everything organized alphabetically and by system (except for right now, cause I'll be moving soon, so most of my games are packed in boxes).
    Unfortunately I live in bulgaria, so most of my games are PS2/PSP games from the flea market, I only have 1 NES game, 1 N-Gage game, 1 XBOX game, 5 PS1 games, 5 GBA games, 2 DS games.
