Would love a 2019 version of this.
Yeah, we need an update.
Agreed
Yes
Yep
2020 version now
You guys are my favorite gaming channel. No pretension, unfunny forced humor, or fake outrage. Just pure knowledge presented in a welcoming way.
What does CRT mean?
EasyMo Productions CRT is an acronym for Cathode Ray Tube! CRT TV's use the cathode ray tube to deflect electron beams to display an image on the screen!
No posers, just nerds :)
Couldn't agree more with you, my friend. While those are fine from time to time, it's always a breath of fresh air when you come across channels like My Life in Gaming. Their topics are straightforward and educational. But they are also fun, enjoyable and approachable. I always find myself coming back to this channel. Coury and Try really know their stuff. MLiG is my number one go-to channel for anything retro gaming, and I always recommend them to all my friends.
"No pretension, unfunny forced humor"
are you sure about that?
This was thoroughly engaging to watch, especially since I just moved and am currently going through the whole process of setting up a new gaming room and recording area. Thanks for putting this together, I'll be taking a few ideas here!
[Try4ce] Thanks man! Can't wait to see what you come up with yourself!
[Coury] I have to admit, while seeing your tweets about moving on twitter, I've been thinking about what you're going to be putting together in your new space. Do you have any plans to make a video on your new setup when its done?
I am going through the same thing now, but it is more of me changing up my setup, I have 5 monitors just at my main desk alone (I have to monitor so much for the streams)
Also obligatory cool seeing you here
I dunno why, but seeing LGR comments on MLIG vids is so satisfying to me.
I love both of your channels so much!
"I swear, I fiddle with this stuff more than actually playing games sometimes." Honestly, that's half the fun for me 🤷
Amen to that
Saaame
What exactly are we talking about here.
Also guilty
Yep
I am completely drooling over Coury's setup. Especially compared to his old setup. I have never seen anything quite like it. People like to brag how their setups have top of the line cables for 4K Gaming, but he is the first one that has the setup that completely covers all grounds. Old and new, the way most of us here like it. I'd do anything to have a setup like his!
Nagisa Hazuki you can do it for pretty cheap if you build your own pc, checkout my gameroom if you want some more ideas and tricks 👍
You guys really have raised the bar for outstanding Retro gaming vid production values. Had no idea you lived so far apart either which makes it even more impressive. Keep up the great work
Anyone else find these kind of videos so satisfying to watch? This is probably my favourite. Amazingly streamlined setups!
"Editing while reclining"
You are living the good life.
GODDAMN I love your show. The 36 minutes flew by. Try4ce, your entire house is retro video game heaven! Now THAT is dedication!
[Try4ce] Maybe it's the reverse of what you'd expect, but I find that the older I get, the more and more narrow my interests become... so most things I do with my house have some sort of video game or RUclips-related reason behind it!
I can relate to that very much. I'm younger than you guys, but as far as interests go, I'm right there.
My Life in Gaming how old are you and coury
Here's a hint: Coury was 5 when he went to go see Return of the Jedi on its opening night in 1983 and TRY4 was 13 when he played Super Mario 64 for the first time in 1996
Ahh, the controller bags and black backing to hide console wiring are some awesome tips. Thanks guys.
Radiation 300%
Nice room mate ;-)
Another great episode. I appreciate you guys taking the time to film, edit and share your setups and nostalgic memories. Corey, i totally felt the same way too. With almost 1000 games, 20+ consoles and being in my mid 30's sometimes I too felt embarrassed with my setup. However, I got over it pretty quickly as well. Keep on rocking guys!
So beautiful. I LOVE older games, still play regularly on my ice blue N64 my brother got for christmas back in 2000. I love it when people actually ENJOY and USE retro games like you guys, instead of just hoarding boxes on a shelf, never to try like so many collectors or hipsters these days. So much work goes into maintaining these systems to ensure longevity and get the best performance out of them, I love how this channel dedicates so much into the scariest and most difficult process of retro gaming. Thanks!
2022 update?
This is absolutely one of my favorite episodes. The setups that both of you have are very elaborate and inspires me to better my setup at home. Thank you for your episodes!
These are a couple of the most comprehensive game room tours I've seen in my 10+ years of RUclips'ing and collecting. Love all the detail and visuals shown on the cabling jobs. It means so much more to know how the rooms work as opposed to just what's in them.
Thanks for the look :)
What a dream set up, so jealous of the amount of space you have Coury. Good going!
Guys yall are quickly becoming my favorite retro show on youtube. The quality is excellent, yall are genuine and very open about how you do the show and what yall enjoy. Keep up the good work. Oh and now that HD Retrovision is almost in full production i cant wait to see more about their cables if yall could review and cover them fully.
Excellent video! This is, by far, one of the best RUclips channels.
you guys deserve a lot more subscribers and views, this channel has so much great quality I love it!😀
You guys are living the dream
I love all the effort that goes into the show and your setup! Thanks for making this channel. It's definitely my favorite on youtube.
this has to be one of my favorite videos you guys have done, much love!
If anyone is wondering, he is listening to the Super Hang On OST from DataDiscs and the record player he is using is an Audio Technica AT-LP60. I have the same album and record player. The guy has great taste.
[Coury] I actually kinda fudge it. The song that I play is the SST Band version and isn't on the record. I just love the band version so much and it worked better with the reveal than the actual in game one.
That's funny that you say that because I just put the record back on and was wondering why it sounded so much better in your video.
LOL I got confused! I was like "Wait, no Yamaha chip can produce those sounds, those are real instruments"
Hell ya! Now that's a game room tour. Great video guys!
Yoo I loved you guys. I found myself watching yall more than often now. Keep pushing guys. 💪💪💪
You guys rock!!! The creativity and passion you guys consistently display never fails to blow me away, thank you so much for these awesome videos!!
When do you guys plan on making a new studio tour? I'd love a new 2019 tour!
I love you guys so much, I learned a ton of things from you.
Thanks for your awesome Videos.
Greetings from Germany
KamenRider13 I've always wanted to go to Germany
The amount of hard work you guys put in really shows in the quality of videos you guys put out. Thank you and stay awesome!
Man, the theme song and intro sequence you guys really nailed. Makes me so excited when a new video goes up and the music starts playing.
So glad that a good Ghostbusters game (The Video Game) happened before we lost Ramis. One of my favourites.
Wow, this was extremely interesting to watch. You guys have some *really* nice gear there, but then for the RGB series, I guess you'd kind of have to! Extremely impressive, guys. :)
DAMN DANIEL! Back at it again with the sweet my life in gaming setup.
You guys really inspired me and my setup. Although i don't have NEARLY as much stuff set up, and still lack the Framemaister (until i travel to Japan next time), the HDMI splitter and having my famicom RGB modded was all thanks to you guys.
This is probably my favorite episode of the show. So many great ideas for my next place. Thank you!
very nice episode I very like your editor stuff and the way you work. a lot of people all the time you give to do this videos so that k you for this video and of course for the Info
Very nice setups and collection. I specially like that supergun, soooo nice!
supergun's are incredible. having a consolized version of the actual arcade!
Yup!
These are my favorite you always get amazing ideas after watching them. Especially if all the best look for any console gets a little overwhelming in your head. One watch of these makes things so easy since it’s really easy to over think everything
I just sat thru the entire video, omg you guys are insane but I really admire everything you have and the trouble you guys put yourself through to get the best shots and best quality of your videos.
yall need soo many more subs.
just...wow. Living the dream
I love this channel
It’s so wholesome and fun
Love you guys, simply the best retro game channel on youtube, you all are awesome, a like from Brazil👍👏👏
I must say, Coury, not enough TVs
after watching this video I decided to abandon my life goal of buying a Lamborghini and buy everything you guys have in the video. it should be about the same value by the time I save up ☺
Vue Toob Lmao my thought exactly.
Vue Toob Who needs a stupid luxury car when you can have every video game in existence? Wise choice my friend!
Eternal Star 2401 well it depends on priorities. Id rather take the lambo over all these games. The driving experience would keep me pretty happy
I love watching videos like this from you and ace! I finally started my RGB scart adventure I'm still quite at a loss but now I have been re-watching your videos to get a better idea on to make my perfect setup!
Two years later, and this is still an incredible watch/tour/guide. One of the reasons this became one of my favourite channels!
Great video. Sometimes I wish I had a larger home so I can dedicate such a space to my collection.
I like the Chrono Cross OST you used at 14:07 :D
Chrono Cross OST FTW.
yeah the chrono cross music made me scroll to comments real quick
I recommend removing the inner foam on the HD555 headphones. It's like a free upgrade to HD595's. The increase in detail is very obvious.
Nexus and 8jMMM,
I literally could watch this over and over. This is just so dope.
Hands down continues to be my favorite youtube channel. Your set up's always inspire me to change up things with mine. Thanks!
Nice Setup. Gave me some ideas. ;)
It's expensive to get it all setup correctly, but THE best Switchers for RGB signals are the Extron Matrix Switchers. I managed to get one off of eBay for $30 total. Sure, you have to go BNC, but for those with PVMs, you know the drill. :)
I keep coming back to this video. I'd love to see how your setups have grown over the past 2 years!
The high production quality. Well done.
Would love to see a 2019 version of this! Where did you get the shelving you use,Try? Looking for something similar.
[Try4ce] The main game shelf? It came from a site called Racks and Stands like 14 years ago, which has since been swallowed up by wayfair.com. The rest of the furniture is mostly Ikea.
17:21 aaaaannnddd..... ACTION!
This channel deserves more subscribers. The content is truly amazing
This was an amazing episode. You channel just keeps getting better and better. Keep up the great work!
My Life in Gaming Merry Christmas
Power overwhelming
You guys have been a huge inspiration for me when it comes to my gaming setup. This video in particular was especially helpful. Thanks alot!
Awesome production guys!! It shows how much time and effort both of you put into producing MLIG vids.
Awesome tour guys, why don't you just cover up the ir receiver on the framemeister? Problem solved ;)
Looking at this video, I am getting close to owning that much stuff myself... But I only like to buy the good and popular games of (mostly nintendo) consoles... However soon I will get two PVM monitors, and I already own a consumer CRT and 4K LCD... I currently own about 12 consoles with a PC for current-gen gaming. Not that many games though, but I started getting these games and consoles last year... And I only want the good ones.
Work your butt off, get a nice paycheck and find good deals online. That's all there is to it...
Now I just need more room :)
Also, I love this channel! Keep up the great work!!
All that in one year? You must be rich.
0 ͜ʖ0
Well actually I work my ass off with my dishwasher job... But it is totally worth it!
I guess lol. Must not spend a lot in other areas then.
Do you ever think, is more to life than gaming?
shinobi2119 No
Yes now i get to be supa enviously impressed by your awesome gaming collection
Great video guys and absolutely amazing to see how you all put everything together! Thanks again for making such great content and keep up the quality work!!! All the best!
New video! :D
Nice video, guys! Also, what's that green gamecube Coury has?
[Coury] Nothing special about it. It was just a custom paint job on a unit I bought off of eBay, when I re-boughtd a GC in 2012. Green is my favorite color, so when i saw it for sale I had to have it.
+My Life in Gaming noice i love your videos
That's something we have in common! I absolutely love green as well. That's a really nice Gamecube. For a second, I thought it was one of these dev kits though. i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb57/UFPEX/NR-READER-cropped.jpg
I really enjoyed this video! Also great that you showed what is going on behind the scenes and talked about the lights, microphones and all of that.
[Coury] Going into this episode, we didn't want it to be a "look at this stuff" kind of thing, but instead "heres how we use this stuff to make the best show that we can." Who knows, maybe there will be some info here that will help out up and coming content creators on youtube
the best retro channel on RUclips , im very happy to find this channel, it answert many questions from me and the Videos has a high quality and when i saw a Video, i must play SNES :) its the retro feeling, its the best
greetz from germany
These are some awesome setups! Where did you guys buy your Sony PVM TV's and how much did they cost?
[Try4ce] Coury got lucky, because a friend of his saved a few really good ones from getting thrown out at his work. I gave up on finding one locally myself, so I got my little one on eBay... thankfully shipping was only like $30, not that bad really. Check local TV stations, medical equipment resellers, and electronics recycling places... or eBay.
Thank you for the advice! I hope I can find a good deal on one someday.
My Life in Gaming where did you get your super gun? And where can I buy one? Can you guys please provide some links on where to buy some
oh oh oh and also another question whats the set up for power, do you use any special device to protect your consoles? Thanks!!!!
I know this is super late but you can just use a surge protector
Thank you for doing these videos guys! They are both entertainment and didactic :-) I appreciate your effort combining a lot of equipment and keeping everything tidy and clean. Great work!
That idea to put a small wire shelf on your desk was brilliant! I just did the same thing and it solved a massive hardware traffic jam for me. Thank you so much!
Can you guys please do the video on correcting crt geometry that you guys said you would, I've been waiting forever!
[Coury] Its coming this summer. Sorry its taken so long.
***** I can't wait!
The ultimate man cave!
I've watched this video 3 times now - for some reason I just can't get enough of this sort of thing
You guys are amazing. Thanks for putting so much effort into this.
That Try guy sounds like he should be hosting Motorweek
Oh my god.
Awesome job guys, seriously impressed.
Your game rooms are A-MAZING! I especially love Coury's, it seems so perfect!
Oh My Goood #Nerdgasm
Try4ce, you always look and sound so skeptical :)
You guys are great! as is your channel! Binged all your content this xmas!
Awesome video! Nice gaming-room/studios you have there,love it !
So you have multiple TVs, computers, consoles and switchers hooked up... how do you manage all that power? I can't imagine EVERYTHING is always plugged in right?
Robert Figueredo I’m right there with you buddy... I’ve run out even with 2 power strips and I have less than half of what they got which is at least:
20 systems, tv, framemeister, 2 powered scart switches, hdmi switches, component switches, audio receiver, computer, etc...
you got the million dollar question and I’d love to know the answer too!!
Can you tell us where you got your Supergun? I've never seen one like it.
Internet.
This guys are gonna take over the world. This channel is unparalleled.
Bravo! Well done, gentlemen!
4:06 "It's pretty important to make sure that [the switchers] are powered. This helps you avoid image degradation"
I think that's a bit open to debate. Others have suggested using the exact opposite for just that purpose. ImplantGames Reviews, for example, opted for an unpowered component switcher by General Electric because he was worried about "electrical noise being added to the video signal". He reported no problems with it.
ruclips.net/video/qiqhn7I1odU/видео.html
Personally, I had a powered composite/S-video switcher and it kept glitching up when certain consoles were played with S-video. For component, I have an unpowered switcher by Philips. It has four shared composite/S-video inputs and three of those inputs support component. It handled every S-video console that I threw at it, and I'm currently using it for my PS2, PS3 and Xbox with component. I think it looks great. I haven't seen any noise.
S-video is different from Scart
I'm looking for a good splitter with its own power source. My current one blows
Jarrah White I used to have a powered HDMI switcher, I had no problems with it, except when I had my Wii U plugged in an on. I usually will play my Wii U on the gamepad and grind out stuff on my Xbox or something, and it would constantly make my switcher switch to the Wii U. Which I noticed either my Wii U or Wii Us in general have this weird on/off pattern with the signal through HDMI, even when hooked up to my Xbox One through the TV import I would constantly lose and regain the signal, only ever worked perfect connected directly to my tv haha, sorry this little tangent had nothing to do with your post really.
I know you guys aren't specifically modders, but I wonder what experience you have with exchanging batteries in games that use them for SRAM backed save data? Do you pay people to do so or have you done so yourself?
[Try4ce] Funny you should ask, because I would actually like to learn to do this and create a very simple "basic soldering" episode, with the ultimate goal being to learn to do something no more complicated than replacing batteries. I actually have never replaced any of my batteries, but I'm nervous about starting some of my RPGs before I do so.
I've tried it to mixed success but the problem is that I can't find batteries with solder tabs here. If I could I'm sure that'd be a lot easier. I've also seen some modify their carts to have a battery holder instead of a soldered in battery but usually that really depends on a lot of things. It's also not like you have to swap the battery very often.
I guess if you have flash carts you can just use those and leave the actual carts on the shelves, but I think you showed in an earlier episode how you liked the idea of using ips patches on actual cartridges so I assume for some people it'd still be most favorable to swap the battery in their old cart.
[Try4ce] Well, in the case of using the IPS patches, the RetroN saves the games to the system instead of the cart. So the battery is moot in that case. But for stuff like Phantasy Star IV, which is already in English, I want to replace my battery before I start it.
Battery holders tend to be better than pre-tabbed because you're not applying heat directly to the battery that shortens its life. You can also be picky about the coin battery brand and get one with a printed date of manufacture/expiration this way. Plus it only takes about ten seconds to replace it again in five to ten years. I can link you the holders you need. There does exist one low profile enough for game boy carts. Soldering is very simple and a good skill to have in general. The only risk really is screwing the cartridges back together improperly and stripping the threads.
Check Artemio Urbina's channel.
Wow. Goes to show just how much work goes into an episode. Thanks for sharing!
The quality of your show is commendable
I want to live with you.
"Why would I have a Playstation hooked up when I have a PS2?"
OVER. POWERED. BOOT UP SCREEN. END OF DISCUSSION.
I loved this, both of you seemed very enthusiastic! Would love an update!
Awesome setup man, the routing across the room and logistics is amazing. Congrats
