      I heard Riff on Pixel Plus’s podcast say something about how they don’t play the algorithms because they don’t give a shit. I don’t know what that means but I agree 100% with you. Especially when you see other channels with so many more subscribers. Their loss.

    As a video editor (and professor of video editing), I have to commend you on your editing. It's professional with a certain Tim & Eric charm with the soundbites and joke call backs. Fine work, Billy! Glad to see you back! The tale of the old guy re-opening the store after his wife died was sad, but it's nice to see he's back doing what he loves! What a fantastic N64 sign. Damn, nice find.

    I'm glad to see that Mike had gotten back into the video game business with a new store in Hot Springs. I also didn't know that Jimmy was Mike's son, so that was an interesting tidbit. One of my biggest regrets was not being able to visit the old Game Room Trading Post. I really need to go to the new store and tell him that Billy and Jay sent me, because I wouldn't have known about either of the two places if it wasn't for the show.
