The Game Chasers Great video series you guys do. I just found it this week and went on a binge watching spree at work (12 hour shifts working nights YUCK!) and just got all caught up. You guys (along with AlphaOmegaSin and Metal Jesus) make my night more entertaining and I'm going to start hunting down some classic games myself. Now, get off your asses and make more episodes!! LOL
i also suffer from depression, especially right now, and i wanted to let you know i also really appreciate having your content to watch thank you guys so much for everything
Hey guys, my name is Eric. I'm at home disabled and fading fast with stage 4 aggressive B-cell lymphoma. I've lost all my friends and don't communicate with people very often anymore. I have been watching your videos and sometimes I feel like I'm right there with you during your chase. My imaginary video friends that make my day a lot easier to get through. I decided to leave this comment after seeing this to let you know how much it means to me. Keep doing what your doing. Love you guys
I actually just stumbled upon the channel this passed week and I've been binge watching and loving every episode. I grew up in the 80's and 90's and I've always been a gamer since I was 5 so I love seeing all the NES and SNES treasure hunting, brings back alot of good memories. Thanks for all the great videos guys, and hope to see many many more to come! ~stay metal \m/
From the first time I started watching your videos-- which is almost a year ago exactly-- I've been a big fan. It's cool feeling like I'm along for the ride on your game chasing adventures; you make me laugh, you make my eyes pop when you uncover your amazing finds, and you've helped to fuel my own interest in chasing. I can't thank you enough for the entertainment, laughter, and joy that you've given me since I've been watching. I know there's lots of work that goes into putting these videos together, and I really appreciate the time and effort that goes into the final product that we see. This is the part where I botch the spelling of "chode", I guess. But you said to mention it, so I blame you. Also: Thumbs up on Billy's Watto impression. Thanks again for all of the work that you all put in.
Guys, everything you all do makes me laugh and smile. I understand how much effort and dedication it must take to keep producing your videos and for that I want to say thank you.
The Game Chasers You guys inspired me to start my own game collection 300+ games at the mo thank you for getting me even more invested in gaming keep making great videos and just being you as that's what has made you great
Your videos always brighten my day you're the reason I go to flea markets and places like that to go try to find retro games I have watched every episode of game chasers and I could watch every on of them 100 times and they would still be as amazing as the first time I saw it thanks for being awesome and keep up the amazing work
Hey Guys, I'm a student from Puerto Rico, just graduated form law school and I'm studying like crazy for the bar. I found your series 3 days ago, and i was hooked instantly. I mentioned the situation above just to say how grateful and pumped i am in the middle of all this stress to have found people with a common interest who are funny as hell and keep us "watchers" entertained, independently of whats going on. I've seen titles in the series i haven't seen since i was a child, as Billy says constantly, it makes me "re-live" specific moments from when i was a kid, and THAT my friends... is something PRICELESS! I commend you for what u do, and HOW you do it. You seem like you have a blast and people who contact you to "game chase" you take a chance and invite them on. Dudes, you rock! I finished the whole series in 4 days and I'm looking forward to seeing plenty more! You guys inspired me to begin my own collection and just be happy with being a gamer and a geek.The world is over crowded with assholes and having people sharing (Positive hobbies) for a change, makes a GIANT difference in people like me. Hope one day I can go on a chase with the whole crew. Sorry for the long and lovi-dovie message haha, but one last thing KEEP DOING WHAT U ARE DOING! P.S. I had a Little Samson and the Flinstones game Billy got on EP. 9 when i was 8 and my mom gave it away... been hitting my head against the wall since I learned how rare they are haha.
only started watching last week, best show on you tube hands down you guys rock and thank you for all the great memories of gaming through the 80s and 90s
I found your channel today simply by randomly clicking on a channel from my 'suggested shit you might like' list. This is some great shit. I've lost (happily) 3 hours of my day today watching your stuff. Retro appreciation of 70-90's pulp culture is always fun to watch other people enjoying so keep it up. Keep on doing what you love to do, however you want to do it and the collective 'we' will keep on joining you for the fun. Look forward to getting to know you more.
I really don't comment allot on vids but between you guys and alpha it always makes my day. Also, its fucking awesome to see things from my childhood again.
Great to see all of you together on this video! Can't wait to see more of your videos; you've helped me spot a few great deals at some of the local places here. Used to own a jetfire transformer and the footage you covered really hit home for me.
Just wanted to say thank you guys! That includes all of you: Billy, Jay, Melvor, Dudongo, and Alpha. Life hasn't been the greatest since I graduated high school but upon started to really collect games and finding your channels, it's allowed me to escape at times when I've seen no way out of my troubles. From Alpha's rants amd his once every life time pick up videos, to the Game Chasers episodes and even more recently the toy chasers, it has just helped me see that maybe eventually I can enjoy more stuff in life. I'm 21 with very, very few friends remaining and even fewer that share my love for gaming, trying to work part time and still go to school while constantly stressing about my future....I like being able to watch your guys' videos to give me that little escape like you guys mentioned in the video. Now that I have this job I've had a little extra cash in my pocket and am still pretty mad that I wasn't able to pre order season 1 of the game chasers but I'm hoping that I'll still be able to make the cut for the preorder for season 2. One day hopefully I'll be able to get some money together and make it to a convention and meet you guys in person but until then, please continue to create content for those of us who aren't having as much fun....I know it sounds weird but seeing you guys mess around with each other usually brings a smile to my face and laughter is usually right behind it. Hopefully one day I can run into some people like you guys
I stopped watching TV a long time ago it had all become crap, then I started watching shows on RUclips and now I've got 70+ channels of good stuff to watch. Game Chasers along with Game Sack, Classic Game Room, AlphaOmegaSin, The Rageoholic, Johnny VS, ReviewTechUSA, Game Grumps, MetalJesusRocks and a ton of other great Let's Play channels and independent news outlets. I love your guys' show along with the Toy Chasers episodes that come along every now and then, it's you guys who keep me entertained when it comes to the world of retro gaming. Thanks.
Bebop was the best impression for me! And your cant do a British accent for shit :o) Great video and watching the Game Chasers episodes over the last couple of years was one of my inspirations to start RUclips myself. Always watch the shows and the Flintstones Surprise at Dinosaur Peak episode was one of my favorites. That was proper jammy and the reaction was priceless! & the cartoon clips especially the ones in the van after farting/burping always make me laugh! Green mist of death!
You guys have brought tons of joy back into my life. My mom passed away In dec 2012 and it was rough. as I was going threw her stuff I found some snes games that she got for me. So I started looking on RUclips about that stuff to bring back good childhood memory's and found your channel. Needless to stay it is a sublime form of healing for me and most of the credit goes to y'all. THANKS SO MUCH AND NEVER CHANGE! see y'all in sept at the convention!
Hey guys, it was great meeting you at the Too Many Games Expo this past weekend. Jay, thanks for taking the time to talk with me while searching for games. You were cool as hell, and I can tell you really enjoy what you do. To all the viewers, these guys are the REAL deal... nothing is scripted. Love you guys and look forward to each and every vid you put out, whether it's a new episode or just a random vlog. Keep up the great work, and don't listen to the trolls.
The combo of you guys, Wood & Chris from GameQuest, and HappyConsoleGamer has made the past few weeks much better. Haven't been feeling too well mentally but it's helped a lot getting back into my old habits of gaming and collecting and now i'm actually excited to spend my days off playing games or going out and looking. Even if I don't find anything, the time out is worth it and who knows, sometime i'll find a deal! My collection is barely anything at the moment, but you guys have inspired me to get back to it. Thanks Jay, Billy, Melvor, Dodongo, Chris, Alpha, Roo and all the others for the great videos and making my days better. Also great to see fellow long haired game collectors, haha!
Fuckin CHODE! haha. So heres my story guys. I am a fellow pittsburghian like Alpha. Been watchin him for years and love all his content. I realize hes made a pretty big impact in my life the more i sit down and think about. He's made me laugh (many many many times) and allowed me to forget about any BS thats been in my life. Hes helped me better understand the gaming industry as a whole and shedded lights on BS that may have slipped under the rug in the main media. He's helped me be a better contributor to the gaming industry by helping me purge any "fanboyness" i had in me (i was never a hardcore fanboy, but to be honest, i did have favs when there was never a reason to) He's opened me up to some new genres and series that i've never played before and now i fuckin love (Shin megami tensei / Persona Series!! just to name 1) I've shared his vids and referred him to soo many of my buddies because i feel it was worth my time and theirs to watch. Believe it or not, everyday i get on my YT stream, there are only a handful of youtubers i look for 1st, and hes one of them. I must also give him credit for expanding my Kickass YT stream because he's the reason i watch the Game Chasers and GIG. Seriously, keep doing what you are doing gentlemen. It truly does make an impact. Not only in my everyday life, but in thousands and thousands im sure. I always look forward to going to buddies to play some games and hangout and BS about the last topic you guys have talked about. honestly, it's a weird feeling because it's like i know you guys more than just youtubers. I can freely talk about you guys as if you guys were my friends for a long time. Almost saddens me that we are not haha. maybe someday I'll meet Alpha and you guys! Anyway, sorry for the long ass comment. Keep it up guys, it DOES matter! Later, Anthony
After watching the video, Don Knotts haha. These guys are fucking cool as shit. Didn't know of the other three until now. And I've I've seen enough man ass to last a lifetime so I thank him for turning it off. I'd have to kill myself, I can't take anymore man ass LOL! But yeah, its good to hear positive comments. I just laugh at the bullshit comments. No need to take it seriously.
Scott Parks doesn't take much"equipment" to get started off. A modern cell phone captures video content just fine for RUclips. And there are tons of free video editing software to get you going. As your channel grows, you can update accordingly...but to start off, you don't need much to create good content .
I was born in 1977 so I grew up with Atari, NES, SNES, Genesis, etc... I just got into retro gaming at the beginning of this year and found it could be quite expensive so I was only able to get a small Atari and NES collection going. After finding your channel and binge watching every season, you guys inspired me to get out to flea markets and garage sales and find the steals. It can be slow at times but when you find a good deal it makes it all worth it. This past Sunday I found a working SNES with 15 games for $20! The SNES was probably my favorite system from my youth so it's awesome to be able to replay some of the classics that I grew up with. Thanks for your hard work and tips.
Never thought you guys were so deep, Thanks guys for all your videos. Also I love to watch your road trips and please make more Toy Chasers video, I can*t believe Jay found all those Star Wars toys, can*t believe Jay was there to save all that stuff, what a save!.
I spend 8-12, sometimes 16 hours working in a maximum security prison and see some of the most frustrating, depressing, anger inducing things. When I have free time I flop myself in front of the TV and watch you guys. Between the videos on this channel and all the Video Game Years ones I know I'll always have something good to watch. Thanks for reminding me how awesome the games and systems of yesterday were. It makes me want to go find local flea markets and try my luck. Thanks y'all! Keep up the good work!
You guys are great! Just regular dudes never losing touch with your inner child. I'll tell you a little anecdote that occurred in my life earlier today. Im moving into the downstairs apartment in my house and my mom is always iffy about my game posters and she's like "you're 26." I reply "Who wants to grow up? That's boring" I go to work, pay my bills, socialize with good people, squeeze in some gym time, but above all else, I am a gamer. And nobody will kill my inner child and all the nostalgia packed in with it. Ever. I just wanted to say thanks because you remind me that no matter what my family and boring adults say its okay to: 1)Have a gaming mancave no matter how many years pass and 2)It's okay to have posters, apparel and so forth that reinforces your passion all over your room. Not giving into social pressures and norms and you guys strengthen my resolve. Thank you....uh...chodes.
Great video. I love constructive criticism in comments, I hate when I get a dislike but no comment explaining why they disliked. There should be some system on RUclips where you have to give a reason why you disliked, or just remove the dislike bar all together, when in RUclips history has it ever benefited anyone?
Another yearly rewatch. This is my favorite channel on RUclips. Period. I like other channels but I ALWAYS come back here. I'm glad you guys have been doing this for as long as you have! I say hit 100!
I found out about The Game Chasers through AlphaOmegaSin, and since then TGC has been my favourite show, on or off-TV. You guys (Alpha included) really make even the shittiest of days turn awesome for me. If it weren't for me discovering AlphaOmegaSin through his Playstation All-Stars video I wouldn't be a collector like I am now and I certainly wouldn't have my channel. Now though, collecting games is pretty much my livelihood and to watch people who share my passion for collecting (At an even larger scale, I might add), all the while being hilarious and awesome is just the best thing ever. Thanks for being brilliant, guys :D
Hello from the future you chodes! Found this channel about a month ago and been binge watching for like an hour a day sometimes more. I find myself saying "that's the way game chasing go" or " I've see __ and I knew I had to have it". When I'm out in the wild. Anyway good video on the subject. Took me a year to see it but I love your work. See you in your next vidro, stay chode tacuclaur. Oh and remember thats the way game chasing go!!
found this channel last year after i've watched all of Pat's flea market madness videos. i was buying videogames in stores like a sucker before i watched all of that, picked up sooo many games in the last year it's crazy. even made a few resellers give up on flea markets by showing up on ungodly hours, now i hook up game collectors with games for low prices to destroy that price gouching community. feels pretty good to bring joy to other collectors, your videos bring joy and useful tips to collectors. just hope not too many people in my area watch it though, it is pretty hard finding amazing games here already.
Man, you guys have helped me through depressions, really bad break ups, and just the occasional feeling blue. Throughout the last really bad break up, I got your season one DVD. It was the first time I had laughed in weeks. Hearing your comments, and farts, cracked me up. For some reason I lost it at how silly it was. A TV quality DVD release, with the commentators and creators farting up a storm. And that's why I have supported, and will continue to support you. The farts, I mean. Also, chode.
maaaaaan 'fuck earthbound'!? maaaaan why ya gotta hate lol. Earthbound is a really good time, every time. I see Jay overthere playing league of legends actin' like he's too good. lol. Chode.
Billy, I have suffered from depression for many years...."off and on" you know what I mean. I appreciate your candor and your honesty. Your feeling comes through with your editing. And it is much appreciated.
Billy thank you for your explanation on commenting videos. I've watched plenty of RUclips videos and never thumbed up a video and rarely comment on a video. I draw pictures and when people see it and say, "That's awesome" brings a smile to my face. So I can see when you guys spend time, energy and all to put up a video. I will be more mindful of clicking a thumbs up. Billy by the way is my favorite cause I can see similar traits. Finally THANK YOU GUYS.
Im 29 and everytime I watch you guys it brings me back to my childhood. Me and my bros grew up on games and its all good memories. Just seems like all of us that grew up on games share a bond. Much love
Been a fan since 2012. Love the show and watching all the shenanigans. Going through a rough time with my Dad dying right now. The GC crew definitely brightens my day. Really appreciate the effort you guys put it to the show. Hope you never get burned out.
I just seen your video on your feelings about leaving comments I did feel that way that it would be a waste of time and you were too busy Billy and Jay and everyone else involved with the game Chasers but after seeing this video and encourage me to leave a comment I recently had the misfortune of a massive complication with my eye really so sensitive surgery had to be done and I have been laid up and a mild depression to say the least your videos discovering you the game Chasers and among the others have lightened up my day and encourage me to start collecting vintage NES SNES and Sega Genesis games I have a few in my collection but have not been able to get out like I'd like to and do like you guys do and gave Chase but seeing you guys do it has lighten up my day just please save some for people like me scraps as you call them LOL for me to find when I am able to get back to myself which will be quite a bit of time from now until then but at least now I can look forward to doing it and keep up-to-date on what the game Chasers and all the others are up to please keep up the good work and power to the chode Nation that's how game chasing girl LOL later
Thanks to OK Chief i know Alpha Thanks to Alpha i know the Game Chasers Thanks to the Game Chasers I know 8 bit Eric thanks to 8 Bit Eric I stop watching XDXDXD just kidding love all of you great work
A few months ago, I randomly came across The Game Chasers... and promptly marathoned their videos. When I visit Entertainmart or GP Traders Village or Game Over in Arlington, I hope to see Billy and Jay--just to say thanks. You've got me thinking about classic games and systems. I'm hoping to start collecting Genesis (the first system I bought for myself in college) and Dreamcast (my favorite system--gave it to my brother who was serving in Iraq at the time). Can't wait for the next video, guys! Thanks!
All of you guys are fucking awesome. I've been suffering for depression for about 10 years, most of the time it's not bad, but most days it can be horriable. I watch all your guys stuff, and it always makes me feel better. Thanks so much! :)
I've been watching for awhile now and somehow have never seen this video! I'm so used to you guys joking around all the time that this caught me by surprise haha. I've never commented on a video until now, but it feels like the time is perfect. Thanks for everything that you guys do. My brother and I watch reruns every night because we enjoy them so much, and it's something that we both look forward to at the end of the day. Now when I think about your vids, it's synonymous with spending some quality time with my brother. Alpha especially shocked me in this one....not used to seeing him so calm hahaha. Keep on keeping on guys, your artwork is truthfully appreciated.
I have social anxiety disorder and clinical depression. Watching The Game Chasers Episodes helps me alot, it brightens my day alot. Thanks alot Jay and Billy.
I'd go as far to say it's you guys that got me into game collecting and the retro community - including you Alpha, in fact I think it was Alphas game room tour video that was the whole catalyst, all because I typed in 'game room setup' into RUclips one day when I was bored at work. You guys are awesome, and have helped me through some down moments in the last year. Thanks for being yourselves. I feel like you're all distant friends. ...and one more thing I've been meaning to ask for a while, but been to embarrassed - what the fuck is a chode? :)
Well since you might read this... I just wanted to say I love your channel. You've rekindled my love for retro gaming and recently have begun my own collection. Thanks again you guys are awesome!
Seeing as you guys actually care and the stories mean something to you here's mine and how The Game Chasers pulled me out of a pit. Firstly My names Josh, I'm 24 and I suffer from bipolar and other emotionally debilitating mental health issues. For the past two years I've been going through a hell of a recovery due to depression and suicidal tendencies that weren't in my control at the time. I have a little one bed apartment, it's nothing special and I never looked after it. I spent my days in and out of hospitals and therapy session life wasn't very enjoyable so all I did was sink my head into my laptop and one day I came across your show. It was small at the time and it was just all about finding games in little shops, one of the things I used to love doing when I was younger. After months of following you and watching then rewatching your shows I decided to give it a go myself so I started with PS1, it's now a year later and I have every console from the late 80s onwards with a mass amount of software to go with it. I've traveled up and down the UK, I've made friends and gotten job offers for knowing my stuff. Things I really needed to pick myself up. To do all this I needed to get myself out of the rut I was in and it was your show that inspired me to do so. Now I have a highly respected job in autonomous software, A beautifully nerd decorated flat with hardware and software from all the eras about and for the first time this decade I wake up in the morning with a smile on my face because I have friends, money and most importantly a hobby that I have loved all my life. All because you guys made a show about video games. So thank you, you probably saved my life in the long run. :) Have a nice day.
Chodes!Thank you for all the hard work you do. I enjoy all your shows and you are all incredibly talented. Jay and Billy, you both look great. When I watch your episodes and behind the scenes, I feel like I'm just hanging out with a bunch of my friends. I don't have any friends now that I live in a foreign country, so you guys rock! Thank you for posting the videos.
having become disabled 3 years ago. you guys have given me enjoyment and a new meaning of life. i only found you guys this year but have watched every episode so far and have also started a new games collection of my own . alone side my dvd collection. i only wish nintendo systems especialy the snes (famicon) where as available here in the uk as they are in america. plus love toy chasers. thanks for the memoreies.
I used to be an Atari ST guy back in the day and now I'm a PC guy. The only consoles I ever owned were the Philips Videopac in the early 80s and much later a PS2, but I've been binge-watching your shows like a madman lately. I'm not into consoles but I enjoy the video game culture, and your personalities make your show pretty addictive to me. Congrats on the editing and the post-production also.
You guys got me back into retro games. You also, to my wife's displeasure, got me hitting up every flea market and thrift shop looking for games. Thanks for the videos and keep them coming.
Hey guys, when I discovered your show I binge watched all of the episodes in a couple of days. It has inspired me to go back and "Game Chase' the games of my youth. I'm looking forward to seeing more new episodes- thanks for sharing and for your hard work.
I've gotten more entertainment out of your channel than anything else on the internet/Tv combined. Great times were had and thanks for all you guys did!
my name is Perry, im 18 home bound with a concussion for a sports injury, and i have sat here and watched almost every episode on ya'lls channel and I just have to say thank you for all of the laughs and ideas for games to add to my collection
I would have to say that you guys are the main reason I got back into chasing again. I always liked hitting up thrift shops and swap meets to look for relics from my past, but you guys reminded me how fun it is to go out with buddies and hunt, talk and just all around have a good time. You even inspired me to start making my own videos. I wish I had a support crew like you guys have , I think that is what adds so much to the Game Chasers. You guys have a synergy that's not easily acquired. I've watched AVGN and Pat The Nes Punk for close to 10 years, buts its nice to have something new that changes the norm every now and then. You guys kick major ass. You have made a fan for life and i wish you guys more and more success. Also if you ever want to chase in LA or Arizona let me know. I have some places you might find interesting.
you guys have brought new light to my dark world and givin me the inspiration I lost so long ago ( the world can be so poisonous ) thank you for giving me faith in humanity and the yearning for a better me. yous guys are my kinda people,never change and plz never quit doing what you guys do
Binged watched every episode of Game Chasers and Toy Chasers in like a week. You guys are funny as hell and the episodes really look like a tv show. It helps me get through my terrible day at work to hear you guys in the background "litttllleee ssaaaammmmppssooonn". Before today actually, I used to hate the idea of Alpha Omega Sin, I watched like 1 of his episodes and he just rubbed me the wrong way, after watching him on all your episodes I actually really like the guy going to go over to his page and watch some videos. Great show guys, keep up the amazing work editing Billy.
Ive been watching since I found the channel halfway through the first season but never really commented. You chodes have made my day on more than one occasion. I have suffered depression as well and the videos have helped me through on top of introducing me to the rest of the community Alpha, Eric, Pat , Metal Jesus blah blah all you fuckers rock. (maybe not Eric he just a blumpkin). I've collected for years but the videos you guys put out or I found because of you gave me my passion back for collecting and playing. Thank you for the memories, laughs, and inspiration.
3:58, agreed like TV quality. My wife doesn't even know anything about games but can follow the show because the quality is top notch. Same with Gaming Historian (especially the newer stuff). I think this is the shift lots of RUclipsrs will need to do in the future and you guys are ahead of the curve.
I appreciate the work that you guys have put in. I've watched every Game Chasers video since I discovered you guys two years ago, and I've enjoyed every episode. AlphaOmegaSIn is a riot. His rant on Phil Fish made my morning. Melvor is Melvor, and if it weren't for him and Dodongo, none of this would have been filmed since they're usually the cameramen. I even enjoy the Let's Plays, and yes the Animate Adventures too. If you guys truly are all about fart jokes, am-i-rites, and having fun, then don't ever change. Life is way too short to be serious ALL the time, and laughter is the best medicine sometimes. Keep doing what you guys do, and please create more of those Animated Adventures. Bebop is Billy's best impression, and let's not forget CHODES. =)
I only found about you guys a few months ago via mention on Alpha's channel. Since then Ive powered through all the episodes and just am happy when a new GC episode pops up. Living vicariously through you guys as Im not really able to collect at this time. Just I wish I had known about you guys while I was still in the Texas area (Denton). Keep doing what you do, plenty of friends and myself here love all the shows. Props to Alpha and cant wait to catch all you guy's future work. Game on!
If I didnt break my ankle last summer I wouldnt have discovered you guys. I have now taken up game hunting and collecting thanks to inspiration from you guys and your channel..cant thank you enough for helping me turn something negative into a new hobby i love and makes me happy...#gamechaser
Watto was def the best impression. To be serious, I do love what you guys do. It's hard to get the things you do at those prices in NY. More importantly, you do show me games i've never heard of and it makes me wanna go out there and find them too. I also def wanna make a trip out there to experience real game chasing!
Hello Game Chasers, Hola from México. I subscribed to your channel around a month or so ago; been a gamer for over 25 years and collecting for around 3 or 4. Watching your videos, every single new episode I see encourages me to go out and seek out those gems that are in the wild just waiting to be found but it also gives me a good time when I see you guys go out and have fun. Keep up the good work!
I think my favorite thing that has happened with the Game Chasers is seeing so many of my favorite gamers colliding together. At first it was just Billy and Jay, then Pat got included, then Roo, now Alpha, and I watched all these people separately and loved them, and every time I had a feeling of "Holy shit, that's Roo!". Every episode now is just watching a group of my favorite hooligans finding gems and gettin caught slippin. And of course, inspires me to go out and collect games myself.
Chodes I watch your videos on my Wii U as a way to unwind after work, so I normally can't comment or like, but I logged into RUclips on my phone to post this comment for you guys. I love your show thanks for what you do.
I have to go with Watto Also, Chode. Seriously though, I may not have been a fan as long as others around here. (Going on almost a year at this point.) But you guys are among the few channels I will religiously watch on youtube. And when I remember, I try to watch your personal channels too. You guys have brought me so much enjoyment, and have taught me so much too. You guys also give me hope that I may one day find that awesome find that seemed otherwise out of reach. Please you guys, keep up the good work. At the same time, and equally as important, keep having fun doing it. Even though this show is popular, there is no need for it to zap the fun out of your lives. As fan, if such a point does come. Please take a break, or do what ever you need to do. So all in all, Thank you for all you have done!
I found you guys late and have watched every episode you've made. Gives me a huge break during my day. Thanks for the great lunch hours I've spent watching your videos.
From a guy who never comments on youtube videos for the exact reasons Billy mentioned I amend you guys for doing what you do. Keep on game chasin'. Chodes.
honest to god, thank you guys. i have lost my kids, and have been suffering through a dark suicidal part of my life and you guys have actually really helped me
RUclips commenter here :) First of all, I am absolutely one of those people that slightly shits their pants when I see a new episode of Game Chasers. I grab a drink and a smoke and immediately hit full-screen, full hd, and headphones so nobody can bother me. LOVE the show and it very much helps me through the drudgery of life. I'm in college (not easy bs college) and it's the hardest thing I've ever done, on top of all the things life throws at you. A new GC video is one of the more exciting things that happens through my work-laden weeks. Huge fan of the show and look forward to many more episodes! That being said, I've had compliments turn against me on multiple occasions. Last particular one I remember was me saying something like "Holy crap! You got an amazing deal on X item blah blah blah that's amazing!" and get snippy responses like "well that isn't the norm." No shit that isn't the norm, I was trying to say congrats on a great price. It's rough out here on the internet, everybody play nice.
My vote is on Watto for the best impression but the Pat impression made me laugh the hardest. Awesome video thanks for sharing and thanks for not editing out the end. When you guys go off topic and just ramble about shit thats what makes me laugh the most.
Melvor, I just wanna say thank you for quickly turning off the camera at the end. Didn't wanna see the "Billy Strip Tease", lol. In all seriousness love you guys and what you do. I don't even have cable anymore I watch stuff on youtube & the internet. So in a way you guys have replaced television for me. I've started watching Alpha now as well really enjoy his stuff too. That dude has a ton of game knowledge, seriously. Keep up with the cartoons love to watch em as well. You guys are the reason my brother and I are collecting retro and we have so much fun going out and searching. To quote Billy "The thrill of the hunt" is what makes game chasing fun. Peace out from South Texas. Oh ya CHODE BITCHES!!!!
Recently found you guys, after watching Nintendo Quest. You guys have a great show and the production value is outstanding. Whoever does the editing and the mixing needs to be praised. Keep it up, hope to see more and more Toy Chasers episodes as well.
I watched all of the seasons from all of you guys, you lot are amazing. You guys brought me back to collecting retro games again when I lost all interest. I'm happy to have found you all, thanks to you all for putting all the hard work to make awesome episodes of all the funny and great things you guys been through.
Being subscribed to AlphaOmegaSins channel I've seen you guys on there and when I'm reminded I'll come over to your channel and watch your videos, especially the Toy chaser ones just recently found them (brilliant videos by the way) But after seeing this video about the comments it made me want to subscribe. I can't believe I hadn't done so already! Keep up the great work and will be watching all your stuff! Thank you ;)
I do want to say, I know that this is late because I just came to this channel and started watching. After watching through almost every game chasers episode, lots of Shady Jay episodes. I have to say that you guys have inspired me beyond anything else. I am currently over 400lbs and I had no real motivation or goal to try and get myself healty and change my life. After watching through these videos I have to say I do have a serious goal to get myself healthy. It is nothing more than I want to meet you guys in person. It is my goal to be able to actually walk through Magfest and meet you face to face and tell you; I really think your videos are going to help me save my life... Thanks Chodes
This is a very late response to this video, I know, but I just wanted to stop by and say that The Game Chasers has become one of my favourite channels to watch on RUclips. I've actually only really recently started watching "RUclipsrs" in earnest (like, in the last couple of months or so -- I'm an old-school sort of chap who has always tended to prefer the written word to video in the past) and The Game Chasers has been a real highlight of this whole "discovery" process. (I actually checked your channel out after seeing the Game Sack boys giving you a bit of a ribbing in one of their episode-end skits!) Watching the "main" series from the start has helped me feel like I've really been able to get to know you guys and your regular companions/friends such as AlphaOmegaSin (whose channel I also subscribed to recently) and 8-Bit Eric, and videos like this and your Let's Plays are a pleasure to watch. Also thanks for mentioning depression; I suffer with depression, anxiety and Asperger's, which is a delightful cocktail when it comes to social anxiety in general, and videos like yours do indeed help escape that for a while. Being from the UK it's probably unlikely I'll get the chance to shake your hands in person at a con and thank you for the awesome content and enjoyable times your videos have given me so far (with plenty more still to watch, and hopefully plenty more still to come!) so I'll just do so here for now: thanks, guys, your videos are something I can always look forward to, and they've inspired me to step up both my own game-collecting efforts and experiments with making RUclips vids. edit: chodes!
Great, great video. I used to get a bit frustrated when the big channels wouldn't reply to anyone, so it's cool hearing that you guys do see and appreciate the comments. I'm new to the channel and look forward to checking out the show. Chode!
"Chodes" and "Fucksticks"....I know it takes a lot of time and effort to do what you guys do and I appreciate it. I literally found out about you guys through Pat and Ian's CUP about a week ago. I've actually watched all of the Game Chaser episodes over the course of 5 days. This led to me learning about videos from Eric, Jew Wario, Keeb, and some other Retroware guys. You're lucky to have such a good collective of people. I look for old games in FL and your videos have helped a lot. You're good people and I hope you guys are around for a long time and maybe we'll meet at a convention one day. Curious to know who all from Retroware has felonies....
Thank you everyone for your awesome support!
The Game Chasers Awesome show man marathoned this when my bud mentioned this to me , loved it and still loving it all the way through! :]
The Game Chasers you guys are ledgends
8-bit Isaac Dont believe everything your mom tells you, boy
8-bit Isaac realy
The Game Chasers Great video series you guys do. I just found it this week and went on a binge watching spree at work (12 hour shifts working nights YUCK!) and just got all caught up. You guys (along with AlphaOmegaSin and Metal Jesus) make my night more entertaining and I'm going to start hunting down some classic games myself.
Now, get off your asses and make more episodes!! LOL
i also suffer from depression, especially right now, and i wanted to let you know i also really appreciate having your content to watch thank you guys so much for everything
Hey guys, my name is Eric. I'm at home disabled and fading fast with stage 4 aggressive B-cell lymphoma. I've lost all my friends and don't communicate with people very often anymore. I have been watching your videos and sometimes I feel like I'm right there with you during your chase. My imaginary video friends that make my day a lot easier to get through. I decided to leave this comment after seeing this to let you know how much it means to me. Keep doing what your doing. Love you guys
Eric Pariselli. good for you ERIC I FEEL THE SAME way. video friens!! hahah
I actually just stumbled upon the channel this passed week and I've been binge watching and loving every episode. I grew up in the 80's and 90's and I've always been a gamer since I was 5 so I love seeing all the NES and SNES treasure hunting, brings back alot of good memories. Thanks for all the great videos guys, and hope to see many many more to come! ~stay metal \m/
From the first time I started watching your videos-- which is almost a year ago exactly-- I've been a big fan. It's cool feeling like I'm along for the ride on your game chasing adventures; you make me laugh, you make my eyes pop when you uncover your amazing finds, and you've helped to fuel my own interest in chasing.
I can't thank you enough for the entertainment, laughter, and joy that you've given me since I've been watching. I know there's lots of work that goes into putting these videos together, and I really appreciate the time and effort that goes into the final product that we see.
This is the part where I botch the spelling of "chode", I guess. But you said to mention it, so I blame you.
Also: Thumbs up on Billy's Watto impression.
Thanks again for all of the work that you all put in.
Yo tamvien tuve y ya no tengo nadenaaaa
Hey guize when's the next Game Chaser's episode?
Never cut the hair Billy, let it flow free.
Jay really looks like Julian from trailer park boy's
+Chilly Willy 88 Melvor looks like Corey too!
Guys, everything you all do makes me laugh and smile. I understand how much effort and dedication it must take to keep producing your videos and for that I want to say thank you.
Thank you
The Game Chasers You guys inspired me to start my own game collection 300+ games at the mo thank you for getting me even more invested in gaming keep making great videos and just being you as that's what has made you great
tf330129 And Aplha keep being baddass
Your videos always brighten my day you're the reason I go to flea markets and places like that to go try to find retro games I have watched every episode of game chasers and I could watch every on of them 100 times and they would still be as amazing as the first time I saw it thanks for being awesome and keep up the amazing work
I WOULDN'T EVEN BE MAD IF ALL OF YOU PASSED GAS IN OR AROUND MY MOUTH.
P.S.
Your videos brighten up my day
Hey Guys, I'm a student from Puerto Rico, just graduated form law school and I'm studying like crazy for the bar. I found your series 3 days ago, and i was hooked instantly. I mentioned the situation above just to say how grateful and pumped i am in the middle of all this stress to have found people with a common interest who are funny as hell and keep us "watchers" entertained, independently of whats going on. I've seen titles in the series i haven't seen since i was a child, as Billy says constantly, it makes me "re-live" specific moments from when i was a kid, and THAT my friends... is something PRICELESS! I commend you for what u do, and HOW you do it. You seem like you have a blast and people who contact you to "game chase" you take a chance and invite them on. Dudes, you rock! I finished the whole series in 4 days and I'm looking forward to seeing plenty more! You guys inspired me to begin my own collection and just be happy with being a gamer and a geek.The world is over crowded with assholes and having people sharing (Positive hobbies) for a change, makes a GIANT difference in people like me. Hope one day I can go on a chase with the whole crew. Sorry for the long and lovi-dovie message haha, but one last thing KEEP DOING WHAT U ARE DOING!
P.S. I had a Little Samson and the Flinstones game Billy got on EP. 9 when i was 8 and my mom gave it away... been hitting my head against the wall since I learned how rare they are haha.
only started watching last week, best show on you tube hands down you guys rock and thank you for all the great memories of gaming through the 80s and 90s
I found your channel today simply by randomly clicking on a channel from my 'suggested shit you might like' list. This is some great shit. I've lost (happily) 3 hours of my day today watching your stuff. Retro appreciation of 70-90's pulp culture is always fun to watch other people enjoying so keep it up. Keep on doing what you love to do, however you want to do it and the collective 'we' will keep on joining you for the fun. Look forward to getting to know you more.
Your videos always brighten up my day!
I really don't comment allot on vids but between you guys and alpha it always makes my day. Also, its fucking awesome to see things from my childhood again.
Great to see all of you together on this video! Can't wait to see more of your videos; you've helped me spot a few great deals at some of the local places here. Used to own a jetfire transformer and the footage you covered really hit home for me.
Just wanted to say thank you guys! That includes all of you: Billy, Jay, Melvor, Dudongo, and Alpha.
Life hasn't been the greatest since I graduated high school but upon started to really collect games and finding your channels, it's allowed me to escape at times when I've seen no way out of my troubles. From Alpha's rants amd his once every life time pick up videos, to the Game Chasers episodes and even more recently the toy chasers, it has just helped me see that maybe eventually I can enjoy more stuff in life. I'm 21 with very, very few friends remaining and even fewer that share my love for gaming, trying to work part time and still go to school while constantly stressing about my future....I like being able to watch your guys' videos to give me that little escape like you guys mentioned in the video. Now that I have this job I've had a little extra cash in my pocket and am still pretty mad that I wasn't able to pre order season 1 of the game chasers but I'm hoping that I'll still be able to make the cut for the preorder for season 2. One day hopefully I'll be able to get some money together and make it to a convention and meet you guys in person but until then, please continue to create content for those of us who aren't having as much fun....I know it sounds weird but seeing you guys mess around with each other usually brings a smile to my face and laughter is usually right behind it. Hopefully one day I can run into some people like you guys
I like all your catch phrases:
"uncommon console!"
"he knew he had to have it"
"slippin'"
"alriiight!?!"
use them more (constructive comment)
I stopped watching TV a long time ago it had all become crap, then I started watching shows on RUclips and now I've got 70+ channels of good stuff to watch. Game Chasers along with Game Sack, Classic Game Room, AlphaOmegaSin, The Rageoholic, Johnny VS, ReviewTechUSA, Game Grumps, MetalJesusRocks and a ton of other great Let's Play channels and independent news outlets. I love your guys' show along with the Toy Chasers episodes that come along every now and then, it's you guys who keep me entertained when it comes to the world of retro gaming. Thanks.
Bebop was the best impression for me! And your cant do a British accent for shit :o)
Great video and watching the Game Chasers episodes over the last couple of years was one of my inspirations to start RUclips myself. Always watch the shows and the Flintstones Surprise at Dinosaur Peak episode was one of my favorites. That was proper jammy and the reaction was priceless! & the cartoon clips especially the ones in the van after farting/burping always make me laugh! Green mist of death!
Woulda thought the Krang impression suited you more, Dave, no? ;)
You guys have brought tons of joy back into my life. My mom passed away In dec 2012 and it was rough. as I was going threw her stuff I found some snes games that she got for me. So I started looking on RUclips about that stuff to bring back good childhood memory's and found your channel. Needless to stay it is a sublime form of healing for me and most of the credit goes to y'all. THANKS SO MUCH AND NEVER CHANGE! see y'all in sept at the convention!
Hey guys, it was great meeting you at the Too Many Games Expo this past weekend. Jay, thanks for taking the time to talk with me while searching for games. You were cool as hell, and I can tell you really enjoy what you do. To all the viewers, these guys are the REAL deal... nothing is scripted. Love you guys and look forward to each and every vid you put out, whether it's a new episode or just a random vlog. Keep up the great work, and don't listen to the trolls.
The combo of you guys, Wood & Chris from GameQuest, and HappyConsoleGamer has made the past few weeks much better. Haven't been feeling too well mentally but it's helped a lot getting back into my old habits of gaming and collecting and now i'm actually excited to spend my days off playing games or going out and looking. Even if I don't find anything, the time out is worth it and who knows, sometime i'll find a deal! My collection is barely anything at the moment, but you guys have inspired me to get back to it. Thanks Jay, Billy, Melvor, Dodongo, Chris, Alpha, Roo and all the others for the great videos and making my days better. Also great to see fellow long haired game collectors, haha!
Fuckin CHODE! haha. So heres my story guys. I am a fellow pittsburghian like Alpha. Been watchin him for years and love all his content. I realize hes made a pretty big impact in my life the more i sit down and think about. He's made me laugh (many many many times) and allowed me to forget about any BS thats been in my life. Hes helped me better understand the gaming industry as a whole and shedded lights on BS that may have slipped under the rug in the main media. He's helped me be a better contributor to the gaming industry by helping me purge any "fanboyness" i had in me (i was never a hardcore fanboy, but to be honest, i did have favs when there was never a reason to) He's opened me up to some new genres and series that i've never played before and now i fuckin love (Shin megami tensei / Persona Series!! just to name 1) I've shared his vids and referred him to soo many of my buddies because i feel it was worth my time and theirs to watch. Believe it or not, everyday i get on my YT stream, there are only a handful of youtubers i look for 1st, and hes one of them.
I must also give him credit for expanding my Kickass YT stream because he's the reason i watch the Game Chasers and GIG.
Seriously, keep doing what you are doing gentlemen. It truly does make an impact. Not only in my everyday life, but in thousands and thousands im sure. I always look forward to going to buddies to play some games and hangout and BS about the last topic you guys have talked about.
honestly, it's a weird feeling because it's like i know you guys more than just youtubers. I can freely talk about you guys as if you guys were my friends for a long time. Almost saddens me that we are not haha. maybe someday I'll meet Alpha and you guys!
Anyway, sorry for the long ass comment. Keep it up guys, it DOES matter!
Later,
Anthony
After watching the video, Don Knotts haha. These guys are fucking cool as shit. Didn't know of the other three until now. And I've I've seen enough man ass to last a lifetime so I thank him for turning it off. I'd have to kill myself, I can't take anymore man ass LOL! But yeah, its good to hear positive comments. I just laugh at the bullshit comments. No need to take it seriously.
Oh, and if I had the equipment let alone the money I'd attempt the RUclips thing. Seems like alot of fun.
Scott Parks doesn't take much"equipment" to get started off. A modern cell phone captures video content just fine for RUclips. And there are tons of free video editing software to get you going.
As your channel grows, you can update accordingly...but to start off, you don't need much to create good content .
I was born in 1977 so I grew up with Atari, NES, SNES, Genesis, etc... I just got into retro gaming at the beginning of this year and found it could be quite expensive so I was only able to get a small Atari and NES collection going. After finding your channel and binge watching every season, you guys inspired me to get out to flea markets and garage sales and find the steals. It can be slow at times but when you find a good deal it makes it all worth it. This past Sunday I found a working SNES with 15 games for $20! The SNES was probably my favorite system from my youth so it's awesome to be able to replay some of the classics that I grew up with. Thanks for your hard work and tips.
I started my channel because of Captain8bit. Shady Jay is aight. ;)
Never thought you guys were so deep, Thanks guys for all your videos. Also I love to watch your road trips and please make more Toy Chasers video, I can*t believe Jay found all those Star Wars toys, can*t believe Jay was there to save all that stuff, what a save!.
I ignored the cartoons for the longest time until i watched the first episode and was hooked
I know not everyone likes them. All I ask is give them a chance. Much appreciated
I spend 8-12, sometimes 16 hours working in a maximum security prison and see some of the most frustrating, depressing, anger inducing things. When I have free time I flop myself in front of the TV and watch you guys. Between the videos on this channel and all the Video Game Years ones I know I'll always have something good to watch. Thanks for reminding me how awesome the games and systems of yesterday were. It makes me want to go find local flea markets and try my luck. Thanks y'all! Keep up the good work!
Whered the one we filmed w me and okcheif go
You guys are great! Just regular dudes never losing touch with your inner child. I'll tell you a little anecdote that occurred in my life earlier today. Im moving into the downstairs apartment in my house and my mom is always iffy about my game posters and she's like "you're 26." I reply "Who wants to grow up? That's boring" I go to work, pay my bills, socialize with good people, squeeze in some gym time, but above all else, I am a gamer. And nobody will kill my inner child and all the nostalgia packed in with it. Ever. I just wanted to say thanks because you remind me that no matter what my family and boring adults say its okay to:
1)Have a gaming mancave no matter how many years pass and
2)It's okay to have posters, apparel and so forth that reinforces your passion all over your room.
Not giving into social pressures and norms and you guys strengthen my resolve. Thank you....uh...chodes.
Great video. I love constructive criticism in comments, I hate when I get a dislike but no comment explaining why they disliked. There should be some system on RUclips where you have to give a reason why you disliked, or just remove the dislike bar all together, when in RUclips history has it ever benefited anyone?
Also, chode!
No kidding, so for I have one dislike on a video of mine. But it's probably because of the quality or something.
Riley The Flaming Wookie Cookie Yeah, who knows.
Another yearly rewatch. This is my favorite channel on RUclips. Period. I like other channels but I ALWAYS come back here. I'm glad you guys have been doing this for as long as you have! I say hit 100!
You're the best!
Pat impression was dead on, lol!
I found out about The Game Chasers through AlphaOmegaSin, and since then TGC has been my favourite show, on or off-TV. You guys (Alpha included) really make even the shittiest of days turn awesome for me. If it weren't for me discovering AlphaOmegaSin through his Playstation All-Stars video I wouldn't be a collector like I am now and I certainly wouldn't have my channel. Now though, collecting games is pretty much my livelihood and to watch people who share my passion for collecting (At an even larger scale, I might add), all the while being hilarious and awesome is just the best thing ever. Thanks for being brilliant, guys :D
CHOAD! Found the Game Chasers through Alpha actually. All you all are funny as shit.
Hello from the future you chodes! Found this channel about a month ago and been binge watching for like an hour a day sometimes more. I find myself saying "that's the way game chasing go" or " I've see __ and I knew I had to have it". When I'm out in the wild. Anyway good video on the subject. Took me a year to see it but I love your work. See you in your next vidro, stay chode tacuclaur. Oh and remember thats the way game chasing go!!
Who else found Flintstones for $5? I would love to be that guy!
found this channel last year after i've watched all of Pat's flea market madness videos.
i was buying videogames in stores like a sucker before i watched all of that, picked up sooo many games in the last year it's crazy.
even made a few resellers give up on flea markets by showing up on ungodly hours, now i hook up game collectors with games for low prices to destroy that price gouching community.
feels pretty good to bring joy to other collectors, your videos bring joy and useful tips to collectors.
just hope not too many people in my area watch it though, it is pretty hard finding amazing games here already.
Hello guys a big fan from arabs gulf :D ( kuwait ) keep the good work guys
wow that's cool. Thanks, dude
Man, you guys have helped me through depressions, really bad break ups, and just the occasional feeling blue. Throughout the last really bad break up, I got your season one DVD. It was the first time I had laughed in weeks. Hearing your comments, and farts, cracked me up. For some reason I lost it at how silly it was. A TV quality DVD release, with the commentators and creators farting up a storm.
And that's why I have supported, and will continue to support you. The farts, I mean.
Also, chode.
maaaaaan 'fuck earthbound'!?
maaaaan why ya gotta hate lol. Earthbound is a really good time, every time. I see Jay overthere playing league of legends actin' like he's too good. lol.
Chode.
Billy,
I have suffered from depression for many years...."off and on" you know what I mean. I appreciate your candor and your honesty. Your feeling comes through with your editing. And it is much appreciated.
Is it me or does Billy kind of look like John Travolta ?
From pulp fiction? Yes!
🙄🤔🧐😳😲
Billy thank you for your explanation on commenting videos. I've watched plenty of RUclips videos and never thumbed up a video and rarely comment on a video. I draw pictures and when people see it and say, "That's awesome" brings a smile to my face. So I can see when you guys spend time, energy and all to put up a video. I will be more mindful of clicking a thumbs up. Billy by the way is my favorite cause I can see similar traits. Finally THANK YOU GUYS.
I saw someone on Reddit get Earthbound for $2.00 at a Goodwill.
Im 29 and everytime I watch you guys it brings me back to my childhood. Me and my bros grew up on games and its all good memories. Just seems like all of us that grew up on games share a bond. Much love
This video ruined my day.
Phanox good
Been a fan since 2012. Love the show and watching all the shenanigans. Going through a rough time with my Dad dying right now. The GC crew definitely brightens my day. Really appreciate the effort you guys put it to the show. Hope you never get burned out.
Choad :p
Bebop lol
I just seen your video on your feelings about leaving comments I did feel that way that it would be a waste of time and you were too busy Billy and Jay and everyone else involved with the game Chasers but after seeing this video and encourage me to leave a comment I recently had the misfortune of a massive complication with my eye really so sensitive surgery had to be done and I have been laid up and a mild depression to say the least your videos discovering you the game Chasers and among the others have lightened up my day and encourage me to start collecting vintage NES SNES and Sega Genesis games I have a few in my collection but have not been able to get out like I'd like to and do like you guys do and gave Chase but seeing you guys do it has lighten up my day just please save some for people like me scraps as you call them LOL for me to find when I am able to get back to myself which will be quite a bit of time from now until then but at least now I can look forward to doing it and keep up-to-date on what the game Chasers and all the others are up to please keep up the good work and power to the chode Nation that's how game chasing girl LOL later
Thanks to OK Chief i know Alpha Thanks to Alpha i know the Game Chasers Thanks to the Game Chasers I know 8 bit Eric thanks to 8 Bit Eric I stop watching XDXDXD just kidding love all of you great work
A few months ago, I randomly came across The Game Chasers... and promptly marathoned their videos. When I visit Entertainmart or GP Traders Village or Game Over in Arlington, I hope to see Billy and Jay--just to say thanks. You've got me thinking about classic games and systems. I'm hoping to start collecting Genesis (the first system I bought for myself in college) and Dreamcast (my favorite system--gave it to my brother who was serving in Iraq at the time). Can't wait for the next video, guys! Thanks!
What is wrong with these guys? lol
i am not sure, ....sensitive heavy metal listeners?
All of you guys are fucking awesome. I've been suffering for depression for about 10 years, most of the time it's not bad, but most days it can be horriable. I watch all your guys stuff, and it always makes me feel better. Thanks so much! :)
chode
I've been watching for awhile now and somehow have never seen this video! I'm so used to you guys joking around all the time that this caught me by surprise haha. I've never commented on a video until now, but it feels like the time is perfect. Thanks for everything that you guys do. My brother and I watch reruns every night because we enjoy them so much, and it's something that we both look forward to at the end of the day. Now when I think about your vids, it's synonymous with spending some quality time with my brother. Alpha especially shocked me in this one....not used to seeing him so calm hahaha. Keep on keeping on guys, your artwork is truthfully appreciated.
I have social anxiety disorder and clinical depression. Watching The Game Chasers Episodes helps me alot, it brightens my day alot. Thanks alot Jay and Billy.
2022 Annual "Rewatch every video" from The Game Chasers from the start of the channel to now. Thank you reliving an amazing past
I'd go as far to say it's you guys that got me into game collecting and the retro community - including you Alpha, in fact I think it was Alphas game room tour video that was the whole catalyst, all because I typed in 'game room setup' into RUclips one day when I was bored at work.
You guys are awesome, and have helped me through some down moments in the last year. Thanks for being yourselves. I feel like you're all distant friends.
...and one more thing I've been meaning to ask for a while, but been to embarrassed - what the fuck is a chode? :)
Well since you might read this... I just wanted to say I love your channel. You've rekindled my love for retro gaming and recently have begun my own collection. Thanks again you guys are awesome!
Seeing as you guys actually care and the stories mean something to you here's mine and how The Game Chasers pulled me out of a pit. Firstly My names Josh, I'm 24 and I suffer from bipolar and other emotionally debilitating mental health issues. For the past two years I've been going through a hell of a recovery due to depression and suicidal tendencies that weren't in my control at the time. I have a little one bed apartment, it's nothing special and I never looked after it. I spent my days in and out of hospitals and therapy session life wasn't very enjoyable so all I did was sink my head into my laptop and one day I came across your show. It was small at the time and it was just all about finding games in little shops, one of the things I used to love doing when I was younger. After months of following you and watching then rewatching your shows I decided to give it a go myself so I started with PS1, it's now a year later and I have every console from the late 80s onwards with a mass amount of software to go with it. I've traveled up and down the UK, I've made friends and gotten job offers for knowing my stuff. Things I really needed to pick myself up. To do all this I needed to get myself out of the rut I was in and it was your show that inspired me to do so. Now I have a highly respected job in autonomous software, A beautifully nerd decorated flat with hardware and software from all the eras about and for the first time this decade I wake up in the morning with a smile on my face because I have friends, money and most importantly a hobby that I have loved all my life. All because you guys made a show about video games. So thank you, you probably saved my life in the long run. :) Have a nice day.
Chodes!Thank you for all the hard work you do. I enjoy all your shows and you are all incredibly talented. Jay and Billy, you both look great. When I watch your episodes and behind the scenes, I feel like I'm just hanging out with a bunch of my friends. I don't have any friends now that I live in a foreign country, so you guys rock! Thank you for posting the videos.
having become disabled 3 years ago. you guys have given me enjoyment and a new meaning of life. i only found you guys this year but have watched every episode so far and have also started a new games collection of my own . alone side my dvd collection. i only wish nintendo systems especialy the snes (famicon) where as available here in the uk as they are in america. plus love toy chasers. thanks for the memoreies.
I used to be an Atari ST guy back in the day and now I'm a PC guy. The only consoles I ever owned were the Philips Videopac in the early 80s and much later a PS2, but I've been binge-watching your shows like a madman lately. I'm not into consoles but I enjoy the video game culture, and your personalities make your show pretty addictive to me. Congrats on the editing and the post-production also.
I never really think leaving comments on videos very often. I found out about you guys early this year, and I love watching your videos!
You guys got me back into retro games. You also, to my wife's displeasure, got me hitting up every flea market and thrift shop looking for games. Thanks for the videos and keep them coming.
Hey guys, when I discovered your show I binge watched all of the episodes in a couple of days. It has inspired me to go back and "Game Chase' the games of my youth. I'm looking forward to seeing more new episodes- thanks for sharing and for your hard work.
I've gotten more entertainment out of your channel than anything else on the internet/Tv combined. Great times were had and thanks for all you guys did!
You guys are so fucking awesome! Love the videos, my only complaint is we need more Dadongo, he's so dope! Lol
my name is Perry, im 18 home bound with a concussion for a sports injury, and i have sat here and watched almost every episode on ya'lls channel and I just have to say thank you for all of the laughs and ideas for games to add to my collection
+dippin' spittin' gamer glad we could help out in some way, dude.
I would have to say that you guys are the main reason I got back into chasing again. I always liked hitting up thrift shops and swap meets to look for relics from my past, but you guys reminded me how fun it is to go out with buddies and hunt, talk and just all around have a good time. You even inspired me to start making my own videos. I wish I had a support crew like you guys have , I think that is what adds so much to the Game Chasers. You guys have a synergy that's not easily acquired. I've watched AVGN and Pat The Nes Punk for close to 10 years, buts its nice to have something new that changes the norm every now and then. You guys kick major ass. You have made a fan for life and i wish you guys more and more success.
Also if you ever want to chase in LA or Arizona let me know. I have some places you might find interesting.
Genuinely do look forward to the episodes! Billy's editing skills are unreal. Keep going guys from the UK!
you guys have brought new light to my dark world and givin me the inspiration I lost so long ago ( the world can be so poisonous ) thank you for giving me faith in humanity and the yearning for a better me. yous guys are my kinda people,never change and plz never quit doing what you guys do
Binged watched every episode of Game Chasers and Toy Chasers in like a week. You guys are funny as hell and the episodes really look like a tv show. It helps me get through my terrible day at work to hear you guys in the background "litttllleee ssaaaammmmppssooonn". Before today actually, I used to hate the idea of Alpha Omega Sin, I watched like 1 of his episodes and he just rubbed me the wrong way, after watching him on all your episodes I actually really like the guy going to go over to his page and watch some videos. Great show guys, keep up the amazing work editing Billy.
Ive been watching since I found the channel halfway through the first season but never really commented. You chodes have made my day on more than one occasion. I have suffered depression as well and the videos have helped me through on top of introducing me to the rest of the community Alpha, Eric, Pat , Metal Jesus blah blah all you fuckers rock. (maybe not Eric he just a blumpkin). I've collected for years but the videos you guys put out or I found because of you gave me my passion back for collecting and playing. Thank you for the memories, laughs, and inspiration.
3:58, agreed like TV quality. My wife doesn't even know anything about games but can follow the show because the quality is top notch. Same with Gaming Historian (especially the newer stuff). I think this is the shift lots of RUclipsrs will need to do in the future and you guys are ahead of the curve.
I appreciate the work that you guys have put in. I've watched every Game Chasers video since I discovered you guys two years ago, and I've enjoyed every episode. AlphaOmegaSIn is a riot. His rant on Phil Fish made my morning. Melvor is Melvor, and if it weren't for him and Dodongo, none of this would have been filmed since they're usually the cameramen. I even enjoy the Let's Plays, and yes the Animate Adventures too. If you guys truly are all about fart jokes, am-i-rites, and having fun, then don't ever change. Life is way too short to be serious ALL the time, and laughter is the best medicine sometimes. Keep doing what you guys do, and please create more of those Animated Adventures. Bebop is Billy's best impression, and let's not forget CHODES. =)
I only found about you guys a few months ago via mention on Alpha's channel. Since then Ive powered through all the episodes and just am happy when a new GC episode pops up. Living vicariously through you guys as Im not really able to collect at this time. Just I wish I had known about you guys while I was still in the Texas area (Denton).
Keep doing what you do, plenty of friends and myself here love all the shows. Props to Alpha and cant wait to catch all you guy's future work.
Game on!
If I didnt break my ankle last summer I wouldnt have discovered you guys. I have now taken up game hunting and collecting thanks to inspiration from you guys and your channel..cant thank you enough for helping me turn something negative into a new hobby i love and makes me happy...#gamechaser
Watto was def the best impression. To be serious, I do love what you guys do. It's hard to get the things you do at those prices in NY. More importantly, you do show me games i've never heard of and it makes me wanna go out there and find them too. I also def wanna make a trip out there to experience real game chasing!
Hello Game Chasers, Hola from México.
I subscribed to your channel around a month or so ago; been a gamer for over 25 years and collecting for around 3 or 4. Watching your videos, every single new episode I see encourages me to go out and seek out those gems that are in the wild just waiting to be found but it also gives me a good time when I see you guys go out and have fun.
Keep up the good work!
I think my favorite thing that has happened with the Game Chasers is seeing so many of my favorite gamers colliding together. At first it was just Billy and Jay, then Pat got included, then Roo, now Alpha, and I watched all these people separately and loved them, and every time I had a feeling of "Holy shit, that's Roo!". Every episode now is just watching a group of my favorite hooligans finding gems and gettin caught slippin. And of course, inspires me to go out and collect games myself.
Chodes
I watch your videos on my Wii U as a way to unwind after work, so I normally can't comment or like, but I logged into RUclips on my phone to post this comment for you guys. I love your show thanks for what you do.
I have to go with Watto
Also, Chode.
Seriously though, I may not have been a fan as long as others around here. (Going on almost a year at this point.) But you guys are among the few channels I will religiously watch on youtube. And when I remember, I try to watch your personal channels too. You guys have brought me so much enjoyment, and have taught me so much too. You guys also give me hope that I may one day find that awesome find that seemed otherwise out of reach.
Please you guys, keep up the good work. At the same time, and equally as important, keep having fun doing it. Even though this show is popular, there is no need for it to zap the fun out of your lives. As fan, if such a point does come. Please take a break, or do what ever you need to do.
So all in all, Thank you for all you have done!
I found you guys late and have watched every episode you've made. Gives me a huge break during my day. Thanks for the great lunch hours I've spent watching your videos.
You guys do an amazing job! People don't realize how much goes into making videos. Your adventures are one of the only channels I love.
From a guy who never comments on youtube videos for the exact reasons Billy mentioned I amend you guys for doing what you do. Keep on game chasin'. Chodes.
honest to god, thank you guys. i have lost my kids, and have been suffering through a dark suicidal part of my life and you guys have actually really helped me
RUclips commenter here :)
First of all, I am absolutely one of those people that slightly shits their pants when I see a new episode of Game Chasers. I grab a drink and a smoke and immediately hit full-screen, full hd, and headphones so nobody can bother me. LOVE the show and it very much helps me through the drudgery of life. I'm in college (not easy bs college) and it's the hardest thing I've ever done, on top of all the things life throws at you. A new GC video is one of the more exciting things that happens through my work-laden weeks. Huge fan of the show and look forward to many more episodes!
That being said, I've had compliments turn against me on multiple occasions. Last particular one I remember was me saying something like "Holy crap! You got an amazing deal on X item blah blah blah that's amazing!" and get snippy responses like "well that isn't the norm." No shit that isn't the norm, I was trying to say congrats on a great price. It's rough out here on the internet, everybody play nice.
Oh, and Earthbound is fucking amazing. Eat nuts ;)
My vote is on Watto for the best impression but the Pat impression made me laugh the hardest. Awesome video thanks for sharing and thanks for not editing out the end. When you guys go off topic and just ramble about shit thats what makes me laugh the most.
Melvor, I just wanna say thank you for quickly turning off the camera at the end. Didn't wanna see the "Billy Strip Tease", lol. In all seriousness love you guys and what you do. I don't even have cable anymore I watch stuff on youtube & the internet. So in a way you guys have replaced television for me. I've started watching Alpha now as well really enjoy his stuff too. That dude has a ton of game knowledge, seriously. Keep up with the cartoons love to watch em as well. You guys are the reason my brother and I are collecting retro and we have so much fun going out and searching. To quote Billy "The thrill of the hunt" is what makes game chasing fun. Peace out from South Texas. Oh ya CHODE BITCHES!!!!
Recently found you guys, after watching Nintendo Quest. You guys have a great show and the production value is outstanding. Whoever does the editing and the mixing needs to be praised. Keep it up, hope to see more and more Toy Chasers episodes as well.
I watched all of the seasons from all of you guys, you lot are amazing. You guys brought me back to collecting retro games again when I lost all interest. I'm happy to have found you all, thanks to you all for putting all the hard work to make awesome episodes of all the funny and great things you guys been through.
Being subscribed to AlphaOmegaSins channel I've seen you guys on there and when I'm reminded I'll come over to your channel and watch your videos, especially the Toy chaser ones just recently found them (brilliant videos by the way)
But after seeing this video about the comments it made me want to subscribe. I can't believe I hadn't done so already! Keep up the great work and will be watching all your stuff! Thank you ;)
I do want to say, I know that this is late because I just came to this channel and started watching. After watching through almost every game chasers episode, lots of Shady Jay episodes. I have to say that you guys have inspired me beyond anything else. I am currently over 400lbs and I had no real motivation or goal to try and get myself healty and change my life. After watching through these videos I have to say I do have a serious goal to get myself healthy. It is nothing more than I want to meet you guys in person. It is my goal to be able to actually walk through Magfest and meet you face to face and tell you; I really think your videos are going to help me save my life... Thanks Chodes
This is a very late response to this video, I know, but I just wanted to stop by and say that The Game Chasers has become one of my favourite channels to watch on RUclips. I've actually only really recently started watching "RUclipsrs" in earnest (like, in the last couple of months or so -- I'm an old-school sort of chap who has always tended to prefer the written word to video in the past) and The Game Chasers has been a real highlight of this whole "discovery" process. (I actually checked your channel out after seeing the Game Sack boys giving you a bit of a ribbing in one of their episode-end skits!)
Watching the "main" series from the start has helped me feel like I've really been able to get to know you guys and your regular companions/friends such as AlphaOmegaSin (whose channel I also subscribed to recently) and 8-Bit Eric, and videos like this and your Let's Plays are a pleasure to watch. Also thanks for mentioning depression; I suffer with depression, anxiety and Asperger's, which is a delightful cocktail when it comes to social anxiety in general, and videos like yours do indeed help escape that for a while.
Being from the UK it's probably unlikely I'll get the chance to shake your hands in person at a con and thank you for the awesome content and enjoyable times your videos have given me so far (with plenty more still to watch, and hopefully plenty more still to come!) so I'll just do so here for now: thanks, guys, your videos are something I can always look forward to, and they've inspired me to step up both my own game-collecting efforts and experiments with making RUclips vids.
edit: chodes!
Great, great video. I used to get a bit frustrated when the big channels wouldn't reply to anyone, so it's cool hearing that you guys do see and appreciate the comments.
I'm new to the channel and look forward to checking out the show. Chode!
"Chodes" and "Fucksticks"....I know it takes a lot of time and effort to do what you guys do and I appreciate it. I literally found out about you guys through Pat and Ian's CUP about a week ago. I've actually watched all of the Game Chaser episodes over the course of 5 days. This led to me learning about videos from Eric, Jew Wario, Keeb, and some other Retroware guys. You're lucky to have such a good collective of people. I look for old games in FL and your videos have helped a lot. You're good people and I hope you guys are around for a long time and maybe we'll meet at a convention one day. Curious to know who all from Retroware has felonies....
