Lately I’ve been consuming an unhealthy amount of time watching this smug stinky Fox… I don’t even remember the first vid I watched but now it’s something I look forward everyone. (Even if I can’t make it for the twitch streams)
Having grown up during the prime era of consoles, it wasn't until PS1 until gaming became "cool", i actually used to get bullied at school for playing computer games, the image of gaming in people's minds at the time was some spotty teen in spectacles sitting in a dark basement smelling of BO, the way PS1 marketed their game with the rave music and stuff really pushed it as being "cool". When the PS1 was released the main kid who bullied me asked me whether i had a PS1, sensing a trap i replied "pfft no" to which i got bullied for not having a PS1.
It's funny because I remember Nintendo consoles suddenly being mocked as kids toys after the PS1 came out. But I recall the video game bullying still continuing somewhat until the 2000's when PS2 came out, then suddenly, like you said, it was uncool to not have one. PS2 was definitely not "so much better" than the other consoles as Alana and some others say, but rather it was the first true normie console because it was a cheap way to play DVD movies which were getting very popular at that time, and it had a lot of marketing hype. In reality, a lot of its games look awful because it relied on interlacing a lot (halving the scanlines) and/or lowering resolutions with no anti-aliasing, and it had a very weak game lineup for the first year or two, and it was pretty expensive initially. Dreamcast on the other hand, which came out 2 years before PS2, had almost entirely 480p VGA based graphics for a clean and uniform look, and a modem for online play included, and tons of great games from the start, and a very reasonable price, but people held out for the hyped up PS2 instead. So it's not that the GameCube "failed" but rather PS2 appealed to a whole new market, which is why Nintendo went the Wii route of appealing to more normies as a work-out device and such (which I felt was gimmicky and the wrong direction for "true gamers").
i have never owned an xbox, but back in school, all the guys who had an xbox heard of the red ring of death and were always scared of it happening to them
The US Air Force basically they found it was 100 dollars cheaper to hit wire a bunch of PS3s together than buying a new super computer. Also the PS5 and Xbox4 are basically low end pcs at this point.
PS1 - Good PS2 - GOAT PS3 - F You Cell Proc PS4 - Bloodborne Emulator PS5 - Gotta Go Fast! XB - OK XB360 NoScope - Great but bundled with RoD XB1 - Huh? XBSX - Hey, now i can play games too!
One of the big problems with the gamecube was that they had to have really tiny discs so it made it harder for publishers to push games onto the platform. Plus Nintendo really didn't like 3rd party developers much around that time.
Thing that really killed sega in the console market was the saturn, not because it was bad, it was great, just no one knew it existed because the PR team utterly failed to tell anyone about it or sell it.
The different offices of Sega in Japan and the US were fighting each other internally on the moves they should have made, which lead to a series of fk ups, of which the Saturn was one of. Sega actually made better and more innovative hardware than Nintendo at the time too, so it would have been interesting to see what they could have done if they hadn't shot themselves in the foot so much their game hardware business was shut down.
Yeh the good ol days. I remember wrapping that shit up in a towel to fix it. Good times 😂 happened to my ps3 as well. Orange light of death. Doesn't roll off the tongue as well lmao
I Enjoyed the game cube; stonks in valentine joe, super monkey ball, Mario sunshine, Mario golf, Mario Cart, really good on game cube you can play with 2 people in the same car; a feature I have yet to see in further Mario kart games. I enjoyed game cube, i did have few games for it, but I enjoyed it.
3:15 Gamecube was awesome, but Nitnendo's poor marketing and decision to make the discs so small in size and capacity meant developers only saw the console as a gimmicky toy for children and decided to stay clear, especially because many had been burned out by their terrible practices during the N64 era.
1:00 when I was a kid, my friends and I said PlayStation didn’t have this issue because they weren’t trying to push limits. And considering how fallout ran on it yeah lol we were convinced
"Any slander against the GameCube controller is intolerable Mr Smug! You better calm down! You and your baby hands can't compreheythe beaty of a GameCube controller!!" -Probably me at 10 years old lol
I bought the 360 for one game and didn't even finish it back then. I was still a hardcore sony boy and owned both of them. In the end I gave it away to a friend after it got the three red rings of death. He did every troubleshooting and eventually got it working, but it's case is thrown somewhere in the garage. Amusing to learn the truth and it took till 2021 before we got an answer.
Yeah, not knowing what components are defective on a company’s products is a very big deal. Between potential lawsuits for selling a mass product with major defects and the potential loss of customers because of that can almost certainly break a company. Thankfully I got the Xbox 360 at the tail end of its run. Ironically my PS3 overheated once or twice and that was because the fan somehow got dust jammed in the gears or something.
I remember some friends would replace the fans because they were garbage and a lot of the red ringing was due to overheating. I never had an Xbox, not a fan of the games or controller so never cared.
The Gamecube was great, but that doesn't change the fact that it was niche compared to the PS2. How many third party games on the gamecube can you remember playing? How many more can you remember on the N64 or Wii?
PS3 has the same issue, it just required a lot more work to get the heat up high enough to do it.. I found out in winter when I use to use it as a lazy man heater, well it lasted me for a long time and pc's better at both jobs anyway.
I love my 360, but the red ring should’ve been a lesson for all publishers to NEVER cheaply rush out a product. Yes, socialism is a failed, dumb experiment. But people who mindlessly consume a bad product and enable stupid practices are dumb too.
I still have my 360 that never died from the Red Ring of Death. I don't know if I just treated it right, or I had a working module that didn't have the problem, but to this day I think of how lucky I was that buying a 360 just so I can play a copy of Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires didn't end up biting me in the ass.
@@OdaSwifteye My original white 360 never red ringed but it did start scratching my games. Thankfully the 360 slim had come out by that point and I traded it for that (although I despise the touch sensitive buttons, a very pointless gimmick).
I find this extremely funny because I got the 360 the day it came out and it just refuses to die to this day and I have never had any issues with it so I find this funny
dont you speak bad of my gamecube controller, it is the best and always will be the best no matter how fancy the others get they will never be as comfortable as my wonky purple best friend
I got an Xbox 360 with Gears of War when they first came out and after 2 months it got the red ring and it was not fixable, UNLESS i shipped it back to Microsoft and paid almost full retail to get it repaired. I chucked it in the garbage not long after and swore off xbox. That was 700 bucks I wasted on it, and wasn't going to risk wasting anymore money on them again. Meanwhile, never, ever, EVER had a PlayStation crap out in me. I still have an ORIGINAL PS1 we bought in 1996 (AKA the PSX) and it still runs perfectly, a first ship PS2, PS3, and a Diamond Dogs (MGS V) PS4 and none of them have ever had any problems.
small background : Sony started as an engine for home game console but SEGA and Nintendo kinda stopped or didn't use that game engine, so Sony decided to make thier own home game console (- xbox was released 2001, the same year the Sega dreamcast died, the PSone was launched back in 1995 and the PS2 was launched the year 2000)

Really should've made MS get laughed out of the industry, but gamers are REALLY dumb.

PS1 - Good
PS2 - GOAT
PS3 - F You Cell Proc
PS4 - Bloodborne Emulator
PS5 - Gotta Go Fast!
XB - OK
XB360 NoScope - Great but bundled with RoD
XB1 - Huh?
XBSX - Hey, now i can play games too!
Steve Ballmer was sweating so much because he was literally deathly ill when he gave that presentation. Dude was on the grind to win that CEO bonus.

Sega's death is not one of a single fatal blow, but rather a thousand cuts.
The different offices of Sega in Japan and the US were fighting each other internally on the moves they should have made, which lead to a series of fk ups, of which the Saturn was one of. Sega actually made better and more innovative hardware than Nintendo at the time too, so it would have been interesting to see what they could have done if they hadn't shot themselves in the foot so much their game hardware business was shut down.
Yeh the good ol days. I remember wrapping that shit up in a towel to fix it. Good times 😂 happened to my ps3 as well. Orange light of death. Doesn't roll off the tongue as well lmao
I owned a 360, it broke down around 3 times.
It wasn't fixed until i was sent the newer updated version of the 360
The Duke controller is GOAT. Only tiny handed babies hated it.
When halo 3 came out I got through the first cutscene and then…the red ring. It was months before I could play 😢
I love how people go out of their way to buy a console and destroy just to make some statement.
Sony only did well with the ps2 cause it was the cheapest dvd pkayer for its time, they tried the same stint with the ps3 with bluray, gcn is goat
the dreamcast and ps2 were the weakest consoles during this generation too
Fellas, get you a girl that looks at you the same way Alana looks at an Xbox controller
Its obvious that it was known, they were silenced. Same problem existed in all hardware that used lead free solder from 2006
The xbox remote control was to pay the license to play MPEG-2 videos/DVDs.
I Enjoyed the game cube; stonks in valentine joe, super monkey ball, Mario sunshine, Mario golf, Mario Cart, really good on game cube you can play with 2 people in the same car; a feature I have yet to see in further Mario kart games.
I enjoyed game cube, i did have few games for it, but I enjoyed it.
I always heard about the red ring of death, but I never experienced it. I guess I lucked out and got one of the good ones.
Imagine this fox playing war thunder lol

Ps2 and ps3 will always have a special place in my heart
Remember when you could use you G score points to buy DLC and stuff.

I got my first red ring on my 360 about a year into the Xbox one’s life

Game cube controlers were the best, in my opinion. I wouldnt play smash bros with anything else.
I remember some friends would replace the fans because they were garbage and a lot of the red ringing was due to overheating. I never had an Xbox, not a fan of the games or controller so never cared.
The gamecube was a great console. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise
I loved the GameCube too I got it for my 21st birthday but I had every console tho 👍✅
Based Game Cube enjoyer
15:48 that noise💀
The Gamecube was great, but that doesn't change the fact that it was niche compared to the PS2. How many third party games on the gamecube can you remember playing? How many more can you remember on the N64 or Wii?
I gotta say I was mad when my box got the red ring but at least I didn't have to change my card unlike with the Sony hack.
It's wild, My launch xbox 360 is still kicking after all this time. I don't use it much, but it turns on.
PS3 has the same issue, it just required a lot more work to get the heat up high enough to do it.. I found out in winter when I use to use it as a lazy man heater, well it lasted me for a long time and pc's better at both jobs anyway.
PS3 were classic for the Blu Ray going and once that went that's that.
thats why i trust sony they know how to make quality electronics
Mines never got the red ring I was one of the lucky ones XD
man in cave recommendation ^^
I had all 3 console except Dreamcast much later however I can see why PS2 conquer the others
what is that intro song? it's cute. is it from katamari damacy?
nm found it, ff14 before the fall Pa-Paya by Masayoshi Soken
thanks shazam
The fuck was that outro. Wow.

Apparently the PS3 had a similar problem, but was much harder to solve and resulted in them being destroyed rather than fixed long term.
Gamecube was awesome
I find this extremely funny because I got the 360 the day it came out and it just refuses to die to this day and I have never had any issues with it so I find this funny
The PS2 is still the best console, in my opinion.
Oh come on it was an honest mistake and you can't pilfer the greatness of the xbox get real 😎

I still have my xbox360 running perfectly... btw ps3 also had a problem like that.
@ceshmate1953 I know it did, but MINE didn't get it, that's my point.
small background :
Sony started as an engine for home game console but SEGA and Nintendo kinda stopped or didn't use that game engine, so Sony decided to make thier own home game console (- xbox was released 2001, the same year the Sega dreamcast died, the PSone was launched back in 1995 and the PS2 was launched the year 2000)
The N64 controller wasn't bad at all for it's era, except on the Fps games... but it at least taught us how to keep your aim head level 😂
sponserblock for those in vid ads work great ;)
