    Just watching this now. Dude, your dad is the real MVP. The setup he had waiting for you just reminds us parents that our true joy comes from making our children happy.

    I think what’s really brilliant is your Dad was aware enough on how important it was to create a home video of this experience all the way back in 2001. He was ahead of his time, salute to him 🫡

    When he said “it would be the last console he got before he passed away” I cried. Shit man he would be so proud of u. He’s lookin down right now smiling at all the memories.

    This is a father that truly loves his son. Notice how everything he does is for him. He waits and lets his son turn on and play the system for the very first time.

    "When did you get it? In the morning?" "It's a looong story... NOW IT'S TIME FOR GAMES!" That part really hit me. Without even knowing him I can say your dad was an awesome person.

    I think the coolest thing about your videos is your dad decided to record all these moments which is pretty special. Its nice to relive them and compare how life was back than to now.

    I'm not a dad (yet) but seeing your videos over the years... Seeing how much joy your dad had in seeing you joyful... Hits right in the feels.

    What’s so amazing about this, was your dad recording this. It’s wasn’t to put on social media. It wasn’t because he wanted to show off to any one. It showed a loving dad who had a common interest with his son. Those moments meant so much to him that he wanted to hold a glimpse of that moment forever. Fucking beautiful, man.

    I’m sorry to hear about your father. What a wise man he was to record all the memories he could.

    Your father gave you the ultimate gift man. The gift of memories. I get teary eyed when I watch your vids. I lost my dad at 16 . Keep up the great work!!

    Love how your dad setup the xbox like he did on that chair.. that alone almost brought a tear to my eye.

    My mans dad was ahead of his time. Recording reactions, launches and just being about all things nerdy is the standard in today’s day and age. This was rare back in those days. I’m glad he taped it and I thank you for sharing this with us.

    It's crazy how nostalgic old TV's and videotapes can make you feel..
