Incredible! I Just listened to the story! I suspect I got it from the friend who brought it to Adelaide. For those who want to see the 3RRR post with an audio history of this machine you can check it out here: facebook.com/share/r/1ButaGBcg2/?mibextid=wwXIfr
It looks kinda like a car, got seats, wheels, some rotting stuff and a lot of dirt and needs fixing before it can do anything pretty sure it's garbage time
i doubt that's the issue tbh, home CRTs were regularly stuffed into enclosed entertainment centers with zero ventilation and never had issues with overheating.
Me: "Oh cool, a new James Channel video to watch while I'm eating." James: "Hey wanna see three century eggs in the making fermenting in the belly of an arcade cabinet?"
Wade of dank pods fame, won’t even touch MP3 players without gloves at this point and you’re out there handling potentially 22 year-old eggs, legend mate.
The difference between an artist and an engineer. Artist: "eeugh, this 500 headphones have to much bass, luckyly I have my 10K headphones for that" Engineer: "I gonna hot glue this thing, and you can believe it, it just works again"
Me when I buy a arcade cabinet and then I realize I can't get it in my front door, also I realize I don't have enough money for arcade cabinet, or a car
Or a house, or a blouse, or a mouse uh 🎶 or a bank ac, or some rank ah dank ah mofo weed, ion got no bread, the breadless man, 'damn roll up with some zombies like my names Sam, got a boom stick but that shi gose bam bam.
Thanks for the tutorial - so for future reference... remove eggs, replace power box thing and build house around it so you don't have to go thru any doors.
Since the cabinet is just lying around the warehouse, they can record it on Hello I'm Gaming. Imagine, James burning gas while Wade pumping lead akimbo style, pure adrenaline
Wade touches an old knock off ipod that feel a little greasy from age and has a meltdown. James casually handling and tossing around 20 year old rotten eggs barehanded. These two are built different.
0:38 It's so weird seeing his voice actually come out of his face. It's different with Wade because of his drum streams, but I don't think James ever really prominently showed his face before.
i doubt that's the issue tbh, home CRTs were regularly stuffed into enclosed entertainment centers with zero ventilation and never had issues with overheating.
As soon as he fiddled with the connector, it started working again, which seems to indicate either a loose/dirty connection, or a cold solder joint. That's usually one of the first things you need to look at if you're restoring a classic Macintosh, they're notorious for cold solder joints on the big connectors. When things warm up, the expand, which can cause a cold joint that WAS touching to separate, and that's usually your clue as to what the problem is. So in this case, leaving the fan off actually highlighted that there's a joint or connector that needs dealing with.
@BlackEpyon "So in this case, leaving the fan off actually highlighted that there's a joint or connector that needs dealing with." True, which is an easy fix- then again, his reactions do make for compelling television.
I saw a video about a guy visiting and old style arcade place, like a proper one with actual games instead of the child casino that mostly exists today, a ton of the machines were basically falling apart because the owner just could not keep up with them breaking down or replacement parts were just impossible to get hold of.
7:24 given that my local cinema had a Time Crisis machine for the longest time, I’m guessing GU stands for Grater Union - the Australian cinema chain that later rebranded to Event Cinemas. From a quick google, I can’t seem to find any Melbourne suburbs that could have been abbreviated to C’town (unless it’s Chinatown) but also I can’t find definitive evidence that Greater Union ever had a cinema in Victoria (their current locations exclude Vic, Tas and the ACT). I’d speculate that this machine may have been at the Greater Union in Campbelltown - a suburb on the southwestern outskirts of Sydney, so not that close to Melbourne, but probably the closest you can be to Melbourne while still technically being in Sydney. A quick google indicates that there was indeed a Greater Union in Campbelltown in the 90s, so it seems plausible. If that’s the case, then this machine has some serious miles on the clock.
Campbelltown also makes sense to shorten to C'town. The only suburbs that come close in Melbourne are Clayton and Carlton which are just too short to justify shortening like that.
I hate that I can relate to this so much. I'm currently repairing a '70s guitar amp for someone and I quoted a super low price because it sounded like it just needed a new tube, turns out it needs like 5 new tubes and is full of bodged repairs that all need to be undone.
@RawPastaEater When I was flipping/building/repairing tube audio equipment (especially amps) I always quoted what a full rebuild would cost until it hit my bench. This was a great way to make sure the customer was someone I could work with. Good luck with the repair my dude. You can always pause work and call em up to figure out a compromise so at least you break even.
@sktechsolutions-b3f Thanks man, I called the guy up earlier today and he's happy with the extra cost so it's all good. I used to flip and repair amps professionally too but quit when the spare parts situation started getting grim.
@RawPastaEater A heads up - most of Asia's helium comes from Qatar, its essential for semiconductor fab, so if you need any silicon its probably a good time to grab stock
I just want to say: I was JUST thinking about "Lucky and Wild" today when I was reminiscing about my childhood, because my local bowling alley had this game and I played it ALL the time! And low and behold: The algorithm serves this video to me!
We are currently working on restoring our Frogger machine. It's torn apart right now, in the basement of our retro video game store. We also have a working Double Dragon machine!
"G U C'Town" ... Greater Union Campbelltown... IN NSW?! This seems like its origin story!!! From the Movies to the Radio to the Tilt Arcade to the RUclips!
Beat me to it haha. There's also a campbelltown in Melbourne, but dunno if there was a greater union there or not. Every possibility it could be C'town NSW??
From my experience at least (albeit with other bulky things and not arcade cabinets), people will often give stuff away for free because something of that size and weight can just be difficult/expensive to get rid of at all
@chungusamongus519 Nahh, dance games machines have a really caring community with spares for almost anything and a ton of online resources. From what I've heard pinball or any mechanical games are a lot worse.
13:58 I believe with that style of cable car it would have to be San Francisco, as they’re fairly iconic to the city and I think it might be the only place with that kind of car still in operation in the modern day. Although other than that the map doesn’t match and the skyline doesn’t appear to have the transamerica pyramid building so it’s not really trying to be the city proper.
@mazzyraaymakers7908actually that arcade is built like an American car All ozzies have the ability, they are nerfed by Australian vehicles James has discovered power untold
And now Garbage Time and ZTT upload a video where Wade is just standing around, I think I might overdose on Australians. You two mostly staying behind the camera was supposed to keep me safe from that!
It's so fun to imagine that the guys at that radio station just had an arcade standing around to play during the break time. It was such a vibe, probably
Reminds me that the Google office near me has a game console room, its nice that companies have these additions, but it also implies that the employees should see their work as a second home
Holy shit, I've actually been looking for information on this machine FOREVER. A mall I use to live by had a Lucky and Wild machine, but it had one long seat instead. Man, that's another nostalgic load off my brain!
I love that way back in the original Garbage time Warehouse in the “Bruce the ute, is dead.” Video you can see this machine just hanging in the background. The continuity is perfect.
Man, that Wade guy is really nice and generous for letting you use his extra space to keep a broken arcade cabinet for several years. I hope his RUclips channel is successful.
@oddball_the_blue As far as i know they aren't trying to hide themselves, shy, or whatever... They just focus on what they are doing, not on their face being on camera. If it happens it happens, if it doesn't it doesn't.
19:21 Many sprite scaling games from the 80's and 90's would swap to higher detail sprites the depending on distance, in addition to the scaling. Kind of like LoD in 3D games, but for sprites. Sometimes the high detail sprite wasn't aligned with the position of the smaller sprites, and would snap in place which is why it appears bouncy. At least that's what I think is going on here
Kinda love the rear view mirror animations, they didn’t have to bother but I’m glad they did, please do a collab Q&A episode with Wade with you and him playing while answering our questions
9:13 For anyone wondering, Lucky & Wild is on a Namco System 2 board, which had Yamaha's OPM chip (the one James pointed at), and the Namco C140 (the big square one underneath it) for music The YM2151 had 8 channels of 4-operator FM synthesis and the C140 had 24 channels of stereo PCM sample playback Sorry not sorry for being a VGM nerd
I swear, every time we see a partial view of James, he looks like a different person. At this point, I’m not sure if James is one person or 6 people narrated by one guy lol.
13:04 "Big ciger" is like the fancy version of "Big Smoke" also I'll have 2 number 9's, a Numer 9 Large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45's, one with chees and a large soda
Eggs in an arcade machine was not on my 2026 bingo card. And now that I'm looking through them, it wasn't on any of my bingo cards. I don't think enough time was spent marveling at how absolutely absurd that was lol
Along with my friend Chris Kennett I was the original owner of this game when it was at triple R. Godspeed Lucky and Wild.
Oh wow! Please tell me everything you know about it!
@Games_for_James we just shared the full story on our socials! Enjoy :-)
The machine was disgusting, but the gameplay epic.
Incredible! I Just listened to the story! I suspect I got it from the friend who brought it to Adelaide.
For those who want to see the 3RRR post with an audio history of this machine you can check it out here: facebook.com/share/r/1ButaGBcg2/?mibextid=wwXIfr
What's with the eggs mate?
I know devs like to hide easter eggs in their games, but this takes it to a whole new level
Peak pfp
👏
lmao
Booooo!
@Leaked_Dudesbooooo to you
"I'll just unplug the fan, I'm not going to keep it on for too long"
Plays through all six stages
To be fair the machine is meant to be running ALL day, one playthrough isn't very long
Which in daily running times those machines had in the past may be indeed reasonable. 😂
"The screen turns off after it's been on for awhile" I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that the fan is unplugged????
@darko55and everything is filthy
To be fair to James, I don't think that fan has spun for a long time, even when the game was on at its last working home.
It’s car enough, it needs repair, and it has eggs inside. It belongs in the Garbage Time set!
XD yess
And it's a nugget!... A really big nugget.
It's basically a Golf.
and rat droppings
Move over, Smelly Jeff.
I love Wade constantly wearing gloves, and James grabbing mouse poop and ancient eggs with raw hands
Eughhh even as a tradesman i cant stand watching people just grab shit, i know some people dont like gloves but god damn do i hate touching things
"raw hands" is not something i expected to read today
Id rather have sweaty hands than shit infested hands
well his hands are not cooked so I guess "raw hands" is correct lmao
Hang on, this ain't Garbage Time.
Egg time.
The warehouse reverb is surprisingly recognizable 😂
Not enough Wade yelling
It looks kinda like a car, got seats, wheels, some rotting stuff and a lot of dirt and needs fixing before it can do anything
pretty sure it's garbage time
@gir489returns2Howto.....jamesic
You do realise we need a follow up video where the machine gets shiny, cleaned up and you shoot the baddies while Wade drives.
Yess!!!
Just make sure Wade doesn't try to pour creamer into it first tho
@br1qbat right? Everyone knows the best coolant for one of these beauties is pure uncut Pepsi.
I want to see what it gets on the litre board!!
Yeah what a bastard! Need to see it wiped down almost as much as working!
-Disables Fan
"so the screen seems to work until it warms up."
Seems like the sorta problems I'm always running into.
😂
I don't think james had figured that one out yet lol
The Greatest Technician That's Ever Lived
Given I forgot and I was only WATCHING him play... Yea, wouldn't surprise me if it slipped his mind as well! 😅
i doubt that's the issue tbh, home CRTs were regularly stuffed into enclosed entertainment centers with zero ventilation and never had issues with overheating.
Me: "Oh cool, a new James Channel video to watch while I'm eating."
James: "Hey wanna see three century eggs in the making fermenting in the belly of an arcade cabinet?"
welcome to jameschannel special easter egg hunting episode
Same. I was eating chicken too funnily enough
a car-themed arcade machine is probably the most fitting thing to keep in a car garage
"Power supply doesn't work"
*looks inside*
Eggs.
lmaooooo
Clearly he needed to replace the eggs to get it to work. Common mistake.
That one seal: Eggs.
Egges? or Ayrenn?
just as we all suspected
Wade of dank pods fame, won’t even touch MP3 players without gloves at this point and you’re out there handling potentially 22 year-old eggs, legend mate.
The difference between an artist and an engineer.
Artist: "eeugh, this 500 headphones have to much bass, luckyly I have my 10K headphones for that"
Engineer: "I gonna hot glue this thing, and you can believe it, it just works again"
Wade did open a 17 yrs old cheese sauce without gloves though.
@palix2417 isnack 2.0
Everything that could die in those eggs either died in those 22 years, or moved out and laid eggs of its own elsewhere
To be fair, the egg turns to a solid, the MP3 player turns to a liquid.
Hey wait a minute. This isn’t your shed
this is garbage time!
I cani can't believe you found eggs in an arcade machine
Amin Yashed
That's what happens when Wayde goes out to travel to Canada, haha!
@JoelBadgley SCORE Free egs!!
15:51 I’m impressed with the design of the rear view mirror, complete with fully animated protagonists. Lip sync and all.
Yeah, it adds so much personality to the game. Like, literally even.
Bananas in Pajamas *along with* eggs laid by chickens that somehow got inside the arcade cabinet is the most Australian thing I've seen this year.
As a former Australian i agree
"even if it's free, don't do it"
wade has learned this hard
And James (being the mechanic) faces the consequences 😂
FREE LANDBOAT
He absolutely has not learned
@Ribbons0121R121 just scrape the rust off the rust and you got a rusty shitbox's engine and tranny left over 👌
minty~
ESPECIALLY if it's free don't do it!
Man I hate it when I lose my century eggs in the Lucky & Wild cabinet
Me when I buy a arcade cabinet and then I realize I can't get it in my front door, also I realize I don't have enough money for arcade cabinet, or a car
Or a house, or a blouse, or a mouse uh 🎶 or a bank ac, or some rank ah dank ah mofo weed, ion got no bread, the breadless man, 'damn roll up with some zombies like my names Sam, got a boom stick but that shi gose bam bam.
They Hold the cheese but I still go ham
cool fucking backstory man
@rhaphoxya You have to try it at least once
Thanks for the tutorial - so for future reference... remove eggs, replace power box thing and build house around it so you don't have to go thru any doors.
that seems pretty accurate
"this one was full of dust and old rodent droppings" he says as he picks up a pile of both. James the Brave living up to his name once again
having a house with a double-door entrance SOMEWHERE is such a godsend.
I can't believe we didn't get wade and james playing a 2 player arcade game, but to be fair, this was probably recorded when wade went to Canada
Since the cabinet is just lying around the warehouse, they can record it on Hello I'm Gaming.
Imagine, James burning gas while Wade pumping lead akimbo style, pure adrenaline
Wade touches an old knock off ipod that feel a little greasy from age and has a meltdown.
James casually handling and tossing around 20 year old rotten eggs barehanded.
These two are built different.
It shows Garbage Time is very much a "only sane by comparison" thing!
I mean, Wade doesn't have kids, James does. He's probably used to touching gross stuff at this point.
James has kids. I think having kids raises your tolerance for touching utterly filthy things without flinching by a high margin.
0:38 It's so weird seeing his voice actually come out of his face. It's different with Wade because of his drum streams, but I don't think James ever really prominently showed his face before.
it definitely took me a second to realize that it was james speaking and not just, a random man with voiceover LOL
I don't think that was James, that was the less known but not less important Channel.
he's been on garbage time a lot
A few pretty good full-face views during Garbage Time, but that's about it I think.
that machine was too big this time so he couldn't hide it 🤣
"If you put it in the living room, your partner will only be angry for a little while." You speak the truth, sir.
The Triple R heritage is crazy though, that's such a legit community radio station in Melbourne
I love Triple R!!!!
👀
@3RRRFMomg this is great hahah
Bro left the fan off for his testing, played for half an hour, and wondered why the screen overheated
Bro thinks he's smart and all like he knows that type of screen
i doubt that's the issue tbh, home CRTs were regularly stuffed into enclosed entertainment centers with zero ventilation and never had issues with overheating.
@busterscrugsthe only thing you should be honest about is how little you actually know, tbh
As soon as he fiddled with the connector, it started working again, which seems to indicate either a loose/dirty connection, or a cold solder joint. That's usually one of the first things you need to look at if you're restoring a classic Macintosh, they're notorious for cold solder joints on the big connectors. When things warm up, the expand, which can cause a cold joint that WAS touching to separate, and that's usually your clue as to what the problem is.

@BlackEpyon "So in this case, leaving the fan off actually highlighted that there's a joint or connector that needs dealing with." True, which is an easy fix- then again, his reactions do make for compelling television.
That chicken knew repairing that machine would be a trying time, so she offered you some.
James found the magic crack pipe that takes you into Tron
20:31 when you cast Bill and Ted as Starsky and Hutch
I saw a video about a guy visiting and old style arcade place, like a proper one with actual games instead of the child casino that mostly exists today, a ton of the machines were basically falling apart because the owner just could not keep up with them breaking down or replacement parts were just impossible to get hold of.
19:27
James: "Early 3D games weren't really 3D."
Wild: "WHAT?!"
Underrated comment
James: It might be something to do with that.
"Yikes!"
That's correct, Most game engines were bespoke before the Gold source and Source 2
Your willingness to touch those eggs with your bare hands is something else
And touch what is definitely a rodent nest.
he's a mechanic, I'm sure he's touched much worse
6:40 a delicious century egg
Call Ashens!
Too bad James doesn’t have a brown sofa
7:24 given that my local cinema had a Time Crisis machine for the longest time, I’m guessing GU stands for Grater Union - the Australian cinema chain that later rebranded to Event Cinemas. From a quick google, I can’t seem to find any Melbourne suburbs that could have been abbreviated to C’town (unless it’s Chinatown) but also I can’t find definitive evidence that Greater Union ever had a cinema in Victoria (their current locations exclude Vic, Tas and the ACT). I’d speculate that this machine may have been at the Greater Union in Campbelltown - a suburb on the southwestern outskirts of Sydney, so not that close to Melbourne, but probably the closest you can be to Melbourne while still technically being in Sydney. A quick google indicates that there was indeed a Greater Union in Campbelltown in the 90s, so it seems plausible. If that’s the case, then this machine has some serious miles on the clock.
Campbelltown also makes sense to shorten to C'town. The only suburbs that come close in Melbourne are Clayton and Carlton which are just too short to justify shortening like that.
Don't you mean miles on the cloc?
I came for the arcade repair, but i stayed for the impromptu let's play
0:38 OH MY GOD JAMES EXISTS 🤯
casual face reveaL
@jytriggg He's shown his face on Garbage Time before, but this is the first time he's appeared moving his mouth. It's so weird.
@450AHX The ones on Garbage Time were more candid shots/accidental shots. This one looks like it was intentional
@450AHXswitch 2 vid
@450AHXit looks artificial, even though it's real.
We don't do it because it is easy, We do it because we thought it was going to be easy.
"You were joking when you said it, but I was lazy when I did it."
I hate that I can relate to this so much. I'm currently repairing a '70s guitar amp for someone and I quoted a super low price because it sounded like it just needed a new tube, turns out it needs like 5 new tubes and is full of bodged repairs that all need to be undone.
@RawPastaEater When I was flipping/building/repairing tube audio equipment (especially amps) I always quoted what a full rebuild would cost until it hit my bench. This was a great way to make sure the customer was someone I could work with. Good luck with the repair my dude. You can always pause work and call em up to figure out a compromise so at least you break even.
@sktechsolutions-b3f Thanks man, I called the guy up earlier today and he's happy with the extra cost so it's all good. I used to flip and repair amps professionally too but quit when the spare parts situation started getting grim.
@RawPastaEater A heads up - most of Asia's helium comes from Qatar, its essential for semiconductor fab, so if you need any silicon its probably a good time to grab stock
It just needs some Start Ya Bastard
Arming the nugget.
I just want to say: I was JUST thinking about "Lucky and Wild" today when I was reminiscing about my childhood, because my local bowling alley had this game and I played it ALL the time! And low and behold: The algorithm serves this video to me!
We are currently working on restoring our Frogger machine. It's torn apart right now, in the basement of our retro video game store. We also have a working Double Dragon machine!
"G U C'Town" ... Greater Union Campbelltown... IN NSW?! This seems like its origin story!!! From the Movies to the Radio to the Tilt Arcade to the RUclips!
Ahh, yeah that sounds plausible.
This would make the most sense sense, the cinema at Macarthur Square used to be a Greater Union
Beat me to it haha.
There's also a campbelltown in Melbourne, but dunno if there was a greater union there or not. Every possibility it could be C'town NSW??
yeah that greater union had prob lik 8-10 machines, then you would go up the stairs right there in to i think a timezone,
If it’s free, it’s probably more expensive to fix than actually buying a working one.
I only disagree if we are talking about dance game machines.
From my experience at least (albeit with other bulky things and not arcade cabinets), people will often give stuff away for free because something of that size and weight can just be difficult/expensive to get rid of at all
@chungusamongus519 Nahh, dance games machines have a really caring community with spares for almost anything and a ton of online resources. From what I've heard pinball or any mechanical games are a lot worse.
@snil4 you're agreeing with them (I do too) they're worth fixing
@startedtech Yeah, you can get free working pianos all day long if you're willing to do the moving.
Iirc, rodents might steal eggs to eat, so you might have been looking at an old rat nest
That, or some kids thought it would be fuckin hilarious. To their credit, it was. Rodents' nest would be messier.
@theob1712 Or it was some sort of prank when it was at the radio station
That explains the rodent droppings
13:58 I believe with that style of cable car it would have to be San Francisco, as they’re fairly iconic to the city and I think it might be the only place with that kind of car still in operation in the modern day. Although other than that the map doesn’t match and the skyline doesn’t appear to have the transamerica pyramid building so it’s not really trying to be the city proper.
The absolute bravery in touching those eggs with bare hands
From an exciting experience to an egg sighting experience.
Eggs
Clucking Eggciting.
Can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time?
5:20 Me, eating a hardboiled egg: *pauses and glances down like Heavy at his sandvich in Expiration Date*
or yuuko with her melon bread
James why is your arcade machine on the lift.
WHY IS IT ON THE LIFT JAMES.
It's James what do you think?
It has wheels doesn't it?
How you gonna get under it
To change the eggs.
Gotta check for rust!
I remember playing this with my brother back in the day. We would play on a single player game, I would drive and he would shoot
"Who needs brake anyway?"
- James Channel, 2026
Good to know that even when Wade is in Canada, James still volunteers to keep Tony company
Maybe James’ Niki could keep Tony company. They should do a battle of the Nikis, if James still has his
@Zavier-Hutchunter16-Hutchings James’ one had a bunch of parts taken off it in the original Tony video
Tony needs a babysitter or he'll stink up the warehouse while nobody's looking
There's something really funny about the image of a man driving with his feet/knees and leaning out the *passenger* window, dual wielding pistols
Definitely some Naked Gun and Deadpool shenanigans
Left hand out the driver's side window, really long right arm out the passenger window
Edit: wait this is australia, other way around lol
@mazzyraaymakers7908actually that arcade is built like an American car
All ozzies have the ability, they are nerfed by Australian vehicles
James has discovered power untold
It's so weird seeing all of James at once, I don't know if I can handle that much handsomeness
And now Garbage Time and ZTT upload a video where Wade is just standing around, I think I might overdose on Australians. You two mostly staying behind the camera was supposed to keep me safe from that!
Jamesonness
My brain is just automatically adding in the garbage time music
21:37 you moved your hand in the perfect way to make it look like you scrolled it down
22:41 almost like they had a reason to put that cooling fan there...
"This box, however, is an anti-doing-that-thing" I'm sure is the technical term.
It's so fun to imagine that the guys at that radio station just had an arcade standing around to play during the break time. It was such a vibe, probably
Cool ass game to have around, too.
Reminds me that the Google office near me has a game console room, its nice that companies have these additions, but it also implies that the employees should see their work as a second home
Triple R is a community station, too, so how it ended up in their lunch room is surely a fascinating story.
Always maddening when the guy who never shows his face is secretly a hunk
Been trying to remember the name of this arcade for years now. No one I would meet seemed to know about the drive by shooter arcade .
2:50 Never underestimate the power of thermites.
I've seen a lot of bizarre shit come out of old vehicles and machines, but three 'whole' eggs is a new one to add to it.
Holy shit, I've actually been looking for information on this machine FOREVER. A mall I use to live by had a Lucky and Wild machine, but it had one long seat instead. Man, that's another nostalgic load off my brain!
I love that way back in the original Garbage time Warehouse in the “Bruce the ute, is dead.” Video you can see this machine just hanging in the background. The continuity is perfect.
Every time I see James' face I feel like I've witnessed a secret the universe doesn't want me to know, but also doesn't really care if I do.
Man, that Wade guy is really nice and generous for letting you use his extra space to keep a broken arcade cabinet for several years. I hope his RUclips channel is successful.
“ 14:56 Where are they getting all these Mercedes from?” James when wade brings in yet another Mercedes for garbage time
Those eggs aren't rotten.
They're just ✨*VINTAGE*✨
Century eggs. Yummy!
Not familiar with the Casanovas but the Goldfrapp sticker goes so hard
Wade: "why are there mummified broken eggs in front of the warehouse?"
I dunno. That could be arranged in a way that would create the ULTIMATE RaceCar Bed.
10:08 thinking of some technician smoking crack with his head inside the cabinet is hilarious
16:39 James straight up pulled an action movie protagonist move there.
pov: my mom on the highway doing her hair
Pump the brakes, this isn't Dankpods
James: "I'm not gonna keep it on for that long"
Also James: (proceeds to play the entire game)
1:36 No, It’s because that thing is the arcade equivalent of a nugget.
Wow a new video on James "James Channel" Channel's Channel, "James Channel."
James Channel?
So that's what James looks like!
He's been sort of seen in profile a few times in Garbage time but this is the first time he seems to have accepted being seen...
It's been a slow process
@oddball_the_bluehaha yep! You get like a small glimpse every now and then but never a full face and body James! Now we know he's a real person! 😂
Nope
@oddball_the_blue As far as i know they aren't trying to hide themselves, shy, or whatever... They just focus on what they are doing, not on their face being on camera. If it happens it happens, if it doesn't it doesn't.
I think you've unlocked a new business model: combination arcade and chicken coop.
James, you are a very very brave man for touching those eggs.
19:21 Many sprite scaling games from the 80's and 90's would swap to higher detail sprites the depending on distance, in addition to the scaling. Kind of like LoD in 3D games, but for sprites. Sometimes the high detail sprite wasn't aligned with the position of the smaller sprites, and would snap in place which is why it appears bouncy. At least that's what I think is going on here
5:22 strangest find I've seen
Surprise easter egg
Wow. Prolly top 10 on RUclips… not even in the title or thumbnail . Crazy discovery
I think that technically means he bought a chicken.
18:27 I feel like I'm watching one of those child-aimed gameplay channels, but with a subject that interests me hahahah
The memories as an early 2000s child, that banana and pajamas piece makes me wanna cry. I remember watching that as a kid all the time.
1:15 You can see some parts from the Ambulance in the backgound
Kinda love the rear view mirror animations, they didn’t have to bother but I’m glad they did, please do a collab Q&A episode with Wade with you and him playing while answering our questions
FREE EGGS LET'S GOOOO
5:20 a truly egg moment
6:55 don’t you mean egg-splode
9:13
For anyone wondering, Lucky & Wild is on a Namco System 2 board, which had Yamaha's OPM chip (the one James pointed at), and the Namco C140 (the big square one underneath it) for music
The YM2151 had 8 channels of 4-operator FM synthesis and the C140 had 24 channels of stereo PCM sample playback
Sorry not sorry for being a VGM nerd
7:13 well you see, because it’s his name, if he writes it badly, you can’t blame him because you don’t know his name😎
Me: "I have so much homework to do, it's a good thing none of my youtubers I follow has uploaded any videos in a while"
James Channel:
"WELL THATS TOO DAMN BAD!"
Instructions unclear. I made an omelette with the eggs
It's fun to think that machine was covered in someone's dead skin from years and years ago.
If I had a little more room and around $10.000 (maybe a little more) disposable money I'd get myself an Elvira - Scared Stiff pinball machine.
I don't know why I was surprised that James is just an old mate and not a hot glue gun with hands
I swear, every time we see a partial view of James, he looks like a different person.
At this point, I’m not sure if James is one person or 6 people narrated by one guy lol.
Rewatching and I’m loving all these small references and point outs at the various James and Wade works through both of their videos more recently
13:04 "Big ciger" is like the fancy version of "Big Smoke"
also
I'll have 2 number 9's, a Numer 9 Large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45's, one with chees and a large soda
Eggs in an arcade machine was not on my 2026 bingo card. And now that I'm looking through them, it wasn't on any of my bingo cards.
I don't think enough time was spent marveling at how absolutely absurd that was lol
