    Hey guys! Welcome to the FINAL SEASON for the "Main Series" of My Retro Life. There are around 12 full length episodes I have planned for this season. These are different from the "Story Time" episodes I produce in front of my camera, telling you a story that doesn't have a ton of Dad's footage. I thought we'd kick things off with this Resident Evil Gamecube episode, seeing as how the brand new RE 4 remake drops this week! Thank you for for your amazing support over the years. You have no idea how much it means to my family to read your comments. Don't worry, after the "Main Series" ends, there are still tons of stories to tell and videos to produce. Also - BIG NEWS ahead. Stay tuned!

    Resident Evil is that tip-of-the-spear nostalgia for me. The game I still have is RE2 for the N64, the cartridge was underwater during Hurricane Katrina and it still works. Later on, I walked around outside when people were gutting their houses, and I found RE Director's Cut for the PS1 on the street. That series kept me sane.

    Those little moments of you guys just being kids are what I love the most about these videos. A lot of commenters give your dad credit for filming a lot of those old tapes, but you deserve just as much credit for sharing them with us. You two make a great team, even this long after your pop's passing. This show is among my absolute favorites on RUclips, it's such a rare and sincere look into what the culture was like, both for the hobby and America itself. What a treat this series is to watch, thank you Tyler, I don't doubt you and your daughter will make memories as special as these and I hope we as an audience can come along for the ride every once in a while to show some support to you and your family.
    One more thing, a lot of the older episodes seem to have become unlisted. I'd love to watch all of these episodes over again once the series wraps up. I noticed an extended cut of the Mega Man episode, so I'm also wondering if you have plans to do that with the rest of the older episodes?

      Don't be afraid of being "stuck in the past," as that's really just a slightly negative way of saying you're _"enjoying nostalgia."_
      I still listen to tapes, despite having Spotify premium, because they make me happy. If modern gaming isn't doing it for you, track down your older consoles and play what you actually enjoy. My desk doesn't have anything much newer than my PS2, Dreamcast, and original Xbox. I still play and collect for them because that was the last generation that gave me those feelings of happiness.

    As much as I wish I had a video of me playing my favorite games for the first time this is a close second from the similarities to both of our names being Tyler and born in April to the nostalgia of seeing those games on a crtv and everyone dressed like it’s the late 90’s or early 2000’s and shout out to your dad for keeping the camera rolling so we can see this time capsule happy early birthday my guy

    You are lucky man! My dad passed away when I was 3 but I know somehow that if I would have had my pops during my teens he would have been like your dad. Thank you for sharing your life with us. It really takes us back to our childhood.

    This remake blows my mind even to this day. I love to go back and play even just to stay in certain spots and enjoy the ambience. The use of lighting seems insanely well done. I love that you got to make this title into a video

    I remember getting this game clearly. My PS2 fat died on me and I was pretty sad about it. However at the same time it justified me going out and buying a Cube. I decided to get one after school on a Friday and then just rent a game from blockbuster video. Maybe after a week or two of having it I saved enough to get RE Remake. It was actually one of the deciding factors as to why I was going to purchase a GameCube. I hopped on the L train very excited and arrived at my Gamestop. I picked up REmake and they even gave me a free strategy guide. One I still own til this day. I also picked up another game: Luigi's Mansion. I found it kind of funny that my first two games I got on the Cube were games that revolved around exploring a mansion lol.

    This game was my childhood dream for a long time but i had to wait until the hd remaster in 2015 to play it because i couldn't have a gamecube.
    And it became my favortie RE game ever.

    as a former poor kid without parents (met my mom at like 11) that had to struggle to rent games let alone new consoles - seeing you getting these games you love and how happy your dad seems to just be a part of it is amazing.

    It sucks how things change Tyler, life never stops evolving, even when you try to put the brakes on and enjoy it, it just keeps shoving you along. What I appreciate most is that you can show, what we all feel.

  • @robbycross3265
    @robbycross3265 Год назад

    Why am I just seeing your videos?!?!? It's like looking back in time at my own life. Hearing how stoked your dad was, that you could see a reflection in the mirror was awesome. I wonder if your dad worked for some sort of software company, he came in clutch with some rarities.

  • @abele1488
    @abele1488 Год назад

    I don't really ever comment on youtube but I feel you on this. I may not have experienced the same things but I can somewhat understand what you experienced. It does change a lot when you get older but that is cool to see that you have a family that you can experience new things and share some of the old things with now. I don't have any old home movies like that unfortunately so the only thing I can share is my stories. That is awesome that your parents still filmed all those memories, def something to cherish.

    I remember I had my first job the summer before the Gamecube came out. I had some money saved and was deciding on getting a Gamecube or OG Xbox at launch since they came out fairly close to each other. Seeing screenshots in EGM of the REmake and Rouge Squadron 2 made me choose the cube. Didn't regret it. Also those Japanese Gamecube game cases look cool. Like mini Switch cases.

    Man this is so awesome. Reminds me of my mom getting me a GameCube and RE0 for Christmas one year, I’m 100% sure she had no idea what the series was about, and wasn’t really interested in it herself, but she knew I loved it.

    I love this. I really do. This video not only depicts a very personal and emotional story, but also proves how video games have this immense power to serve as a shelter from the real world and at the same time make us bond with others in ways very few art forms can. I love this video so much.

    woow this is full of nostalgia and i feel identified cause that was one of my favorite games, also Soul Calibur II, now i think im going to play RE remake tonight on the switch. BTW your dad is so cool, i hope you dont have any resent on him for getting distant.

    Takes me back to when me and my Dad were close. Horror games are what brought us together. Despite me not liking them as a child. I miss having days like this with my Dad. His mental health has
    deteriorated drastically. I fear he may have paranoid schizophrenia. I’m always constantly watching what I have to say around him. When I try and bring up the old days he can barely remember. I miss you Pa. Wish you’d snap out of it..
