      I completely agree man and his name “happy console gamer“ is the perfect name for his style and what he brings to RUclips!!
      -honesty/goodness
      He will speak highly about the most terrible games as if his mind no matter what always brings out the good!!
      This is what I love the most about him!!
      It could be a game that everyone else in the community is hating on, and while he will touch base on the things that people have problems with, ultimately he will highlight and make the video about the things that that game does right!!
      Truly a one of a kind individual that we need more of this day and time!

    I never planned to have children, but in October, my wife and I were shocked with a pregnancy. It affected me so much and in such a way I didn't even know was possible. We both went from specifically not wanting children to being 100% ready for it... Unfortunately, we lost the baby at 8 weeks. We are not giving up, however. The prospect of being parents is now something we both desperately want. I now wish that we could have known earlier how much we would want to be parents. Just had no idea.

My biggest gaming regret is selling my GameCube and GameCube games back 5 or 6 years ago, had I known what was to come in 2020 and inflation of everything including video game prices I would’ve held on to that GameCube like a bear with honey!

    I very much regret how I never appreciated things in life when I was younger. It isn't until I got older that I realized how fragile things are and how trivial "problems" were back then. All the stupid fights with friends, arguments with parents, not taking my education seriously, or persuing a real relationship with someone. I'm old now, and alone, and I wish I could go back and make my family proud of me while growing old with someone else in my life.
    I also regret not keeping my game boxes! (I get one silly, trivial regret!)

    This was the best thing I've watched in a very long time. After a really bad experience in university I gave up on my dream of being a writer, but listening to your story about your days as an artist and how you've picked it back up again has inspired me to re-evaluate my career trajectory and perhaps start to pursue my dream again. I'm 25 years old and I work 2 jobs that both pay me well enough to enjoy my life and hobbies, but I gave up on my dream and that's something that has always bothered me. I can't wait to start writing again and maybe even go back to university to finish my degree, I just needed that spark of motivation and this video has given it to me, so I really appreciate that. Thank you! :)

The content presented back then was just what I was looking for, you couldn’t find it anywhere else! You and ScrewAttack (RIP) are the only content providers who has content that I love to revisit pretty regularly. Unfortunately with ScrewAttack their videos are becoming very hard to find as the years go by but yours is all right here! It’s like comfort food in a way, and represents my interests perfectly!

I wanted to be a comic book artist so bad in my teens, but my dad told me it wasnt good for a career so i gave up. Maybe he was right but it was my true passion. But what i felt most connected to was in having my now almost 2 yo son and me also being a similar age to you, makes me realize as well i wish i had kids earlier because i just hope i can keep up with him later in life.

    Ooof, that drawing one hits hard for me. We're in a similar boat there. I did a fair bit of drawing all throughout my childhood, and even spent a couple years in art school. I won't say I was great either, but I had some talent and could have taken it somewhere if I'd just put my head down and kept at it. For whatever reason though, in my late 20's, I just stopped doing it. It hasn't been quite as long as with you, but I'll be turning 40 in a couple months, and for whatever reason, I got the bug to draw again recently, but it is a struggle to do because the art muscle is not in shape anymore. I'm really glad to hear you talk about it and show that it is something that can be returned to though. It gives me hope and encouragement to keep going and not let it become a permanent life regret. Thank you!

      My dad made me give my original game boy with a bart Simpson game and Tetris to a relatives’ son in Central America when I was 8. 😭 Funny thing is, to this day, any argument we have he always brings that up and says I resent him for that all those years back. 😂 I’m sure some of us have been through that too though!

    My biggest regrets with video games are playing World of Warcraft for 7 years straight...neglecting not just my life but also every other game release....so many great games i missed out on. Also another regret i have is spending way too much time disucssing and talking games on social media instead of actually playing them haha.

    I needed this episode and didn’t know it… Everything happens for a reason. I’m a pretty good music producer/ audio engineer. And around 5-7 years ago I took a break, right as I was becoming successful, and I really don’t know why. I love music, all kinds of music, I love exercising that muscle, and you’re right… It’s taken time to get back, but I’m doing it, and wish I never stopped. I do know I love what I do. I just turned 35, but hearing it from you is like hearing an older brother talk, and I appreciate it. My son is turning 2 in October… 😂😂😂 I wish I could’ve started younger, my wife and I definitely want more kids, and she’s younger than I… Nevertheless being a father with the partner who you love, and feel loved with, is an amazing experience.
    Once again Johnny, you’re so cool, and this was another great episode. Thanks!

    It is so awesome to see your drawing again. I remember way back when the channel was young, when you were showing off your old art work and comics. I always wished I could see more. It would be so cool to see an art page or some place to see all of your art work. I also have sold my collection a few times to get something I wanted or to get out of a financial situation, and it always hurts when going back. Thank you so much for sharing with us, Johnny! And thank you for always giving us great memories!

    I remember when I first started watching your videos a few years back I honestly wasn’t a big fan. Not that I had anything against you personally but your content didn’t resonate with me. Now I’m at a point in my life and hobby where you’ve become one of my favorite RUclipsrs. Your passion for games is infectious. Seeing you relive your past is like going into a time machine. Thanks Johnny for the content and hope you continue to do what you love.

    Final Fantasy 11. I played 1000s of hours, I ran into relationship problems, and finally I got rid of most of my game collection (ps2/gcn/xbox and before, back to NES) in a big argument. Interestingly enough, I couldn't bring myself to get rid of most (1st party) Nintendo games. It's weird, FF11 was probably the best time I have ever had in a video game. To know that your ideal game could destroy your 'real' life, it makes sense logically, but that's like Matrix-level stuff right there.

    As much as I wish for your success in life, I've always liked the tighter community that you've built around your videos, and how your videos feel more like conversations than a lot of RUclips channels nowadays do (as much as I love a lot of bigger channels). I also love how honest and sort of open you are about your personal struggles and stories, I think they really help a lot of people going through similar situations in their lives. Keep on keeping on Johnny.

    Hey Johnny. I loved this video. I love when you talk about life. I can fully relate to what you had to say. It’s been amazing to see you change over time. Thank you for sticking with us.
    And as for game trade-ins that I repress and cringe over, I traded in my loose carts of Chrono Trigger and Earthbound among some others for a PS2 memory card. It wasn’t even enough to cover the cost of the card…. I still had to pay in.
    Happened over twenty years ago, but I still grab at my heart when I think about it.

    John, you have inspired me greatly with your art! I used to draw a little bit back when I was a teenager (I'm 33 now) but I never stuck with it. When I first saw your channel years ago, I noticed your art but wasn't as inspired to take action myself yet. It wasn't until a couple of years ago that I bought an art tablet and began my journey with digital art. I mostly love to trace great artists work to get used to how their linework is. Thank you for inspiring me with your epic & detailed drawings, full of the same passion as the artists that created them--and the people like us that fall in love with the skill and beauty of it all.

    I've been a subscriber for a while now so thought I'd comment. I moved from Leeds (Yorkshire) to Vancouver almost 8 years ago. Me and my wife moved to Victoria about a year ago now, but I love it whenever you name drop Vancouver - it reminds me of all the great things about that city! Definitely don't regret the move but it makes me appreciate all the good times we had there. Really appreciate the videos mate, thanks for the gaming insights!

  • @BearlyReading

    Loved this video, specifically what you shared about getting back into drawing. Back in high school this is let's see 2004 ish I used to draw all the time and then around 20 I stopped completely. Not sure why maybe life and work got in the way. I'm 37 now and about two years ago I got myself an iPad specifically because I wanted to get back into drawing and learn a new medium . I'm so glad I did because it rekindled my love for it and it brought back how good it makes you feel when you create something and put it out there. Thanks for sharing your experienced with us !
